Sadly, we grieve on two levels: for the victims of a deranged and damnable killer, and for a nation wounded by progressive ideas

Nancy Pelosi calls Tucson murders an “accident.”



Lord in Heaven, you can’t make this up. Yesterday, on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, deposed Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-Mars), called the deliberate and premeditated killing of six people – the Tucson massacre – an “accident.” Specifically, Madame said, quote:

“This resolution is a fitting tribute. It is a great resolution. Please, read it again and again. Carry those names in your heart. Remember, each of these people because, again, a tragic accident took lives, wounded people in the expression of ideas.”
If you find this confusing, you are not alone, because “middle-class families” do, as well. Pelosi, recall, was the one who asserted that opposition to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the one which we had to pass in order to “find what is in it”) had seized the tone of the 70s, when Dan White, a disgruntled former supervisor, gunned-down the mayor of San Francisco, George Moscone. In that case, she was more than willing to assert that in a rage, a conservative might kill in the name of freedom. But here, given manifest violence, she uses an inaccurately mild description. I point this out not to vilify the woman - she actually deserves credit for not dragging it into politics – but to highlight her propensity for liberal delusion. This wasn’t an accident. It was a deliberate shooting. As the debate rages over rhetoric and language, the distinction is important, because language is powerful, and it’s increasingly necessary that we be accurate in our words.
