From NBC:

Officials told NBC News the suspect, who served in the U.S. Army, had many tattoos. The suspect had some kind of radical or white supremacist views but, as far as officials said they had heard, he was not in any kind of radical organization. His previous run-ins with law enforcement involved in traffic offenses, they said.

This is a diary for people who want to ban guns but who live in a country where that's not possible. It's for people who are tired of being terrorized by those who are members of organizations that advocate for gun ownership in our society.

If you are a gun supporter, this diary is not for you and you aren't welcome here.

These are the kinds of things we read from fair and balanced journalists while Democrats are in the White House:

WASHINGTON — The latest jobs report means the economic shape of the presidential battlefield is now largely set, with an economy that no longer appears headed back toward recession, but in which growth continues at a sputtering pace.

Wow, "sputtering." That sounds bad, right? 163,000 jobs created last month = "sputtering?" Read More

From Judd Legum:

Bash: I did speak, have to tell you, I did speak to one source close to senator Reid that claims to also know who the Bain investor is that Sen. Reid spoke with, insists it is a credible person and this person if we knew the name we would understand they would have the authority and ability to know about Romney's tax returns. Whether we'll find it out ever, who knows.

Mitt Romney, please explain for the listening audience how this theory of yours on culture works. It sounds awfully racist to those of us not familiar with your universe of thinking, but let's give you an opportunity to explain yourself. For example, some data on the good people in your church:

Although LDS family income may be slightly above the national average in the United States, LDS per-capita income is lower, due in part to larger family size.

Mitt Romney, how does your theory about cultural inferiority apply to these good people? I don't get it. Read More

Deputy Sec Def for Middle East: Romney "Struck Out Playing Tee Ball"

Former Sec Def Robert Gates' (yes, also Bush Sr's Robert Gates) deputy in the Middle East had this to say about Romney:

Former deputy assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East Colin Kahl said Romney’s visit to three of America’s closest allies should have been “easy” to avoid missteps.
“It’s not that Romney struck out against a major league pitcher. I mean, here he struck out playing tee ball,” Kahl said.

So how much would Romney's porkfilled promise to Israel cost US taxpayers? $500 million dollars? $750 million dollars? A billion dollars?

If Romney loves spending taxpayer dollars to replace buildings we already have and which work perfectly fine now - couldn't he do it in America? It's not as if Democrats don't have bill after bill after bill waiting to be passed by Congress which would do just that. What is it about spending hundreds of millions of dollars overseas rather than here at home that Republicans love so so dearly?

And in terms of the election, why would moderates and undecided voters agree to Romney's plan to flush these hundreds of millions of dollars down the toilet to do something every president since Clinton has refused to do based on national security interests? (Yes, Romney's planned embassy will ENRAGE just about everyone but Israel in the region). Why would undecided voters want to pay our taxpayer dollars to do that?

Romney now owes the voters an explanation for this plan of his.

Romney seems to have forgotten (or rather he probably just couldn't possibly care less) that there are ramifications to his words in the region. As most responsible world leaders are aware, there's more than just one side to this peace process that the US must be able to bring to the table. All evidence points to Romney's inability to do that after today.

In another (and potentially far more deadly) unnecessary diplomatic incident created because of Romney's weakness in foreign affairs, the Palestinians are extremely upset by the Romney campaign's needlessly hawkish rhetoric today. In his desperation to look tough (something Obama doesn't need to pretend to do), Romney has put Israel at greater risk:

the Palestinians were infuriated, saying his remarks were "harmful to American interests in our region."
"They harm peace, security and stability," Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat told AFP.

"Even if this statement is within the US election campaign, it is unacceptable and we completely reject it. The US election campaign should never be at the expense of the Palestinians," he said.

It's time for America to wake up out of its slumber. Yes, Obama has kept us safe, but Cheney's NeoCons are back. And they just publicly told Israel that they can start a war with Iran if Romney is elected. And if Israel does that, it means we'll be at war with Iran too. The choice in this election just got a whole lot bigger.

But even so, #Romneyshambles continues, as his team make warmongering remarks that Romney no doubt agrees with but must distance himself from publicly. One starts to wonder who's really in charge of the Romney campaign?

Senor's comments caused a stir in the hours leading to Romney's speech, a reminder of the controversy that Romney had created a few days earlier in London...
The former Massachusetts governor... stepped back from a comment a senior aide made a short while before the speech.

Senor: "We recognize Israel's right to defend itself," he told the audience. Earlier, the aide, Dan Senor, previewed the speech for reporters, saying that "if Israel has to take action on its own, in order to stop Iran from developing the capability, the governor would respect that decision."

I'm tired of pretending the NRA and rightwing zealotry don't matter. It matters.

What will Romney be saying that he doesn't want Americans at home to hear? Secret plans for war with Iran? Disparaging comments about the president while overseas? Support for Bush era personnel and agendas the American public dislike? More racist comments from his advisers?

TEL AVIV, Israel — U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney plans to raise campaign money in private while in Israel, so what he tells wealthy American supporters abroad will be kept quiet from voters at home.
Romney's campaign is barring reporters from a fundraiser at Jerusalem's King David Hotel and not saying why. At U.S. events, Romney's remarks to donors in communal spaces such as hotels are typically public.
