Here are Michael Moore’s comments that he posted throughout the day yesterday on Twitter as the tragic events unfolded in Tucson. There is much that isn’t known at this moment about the shooter, but one thing that is known is the climate of hate and violence that exists these days. And yesterday wasn’t the first time Congresswoman Giffords was a target of this violence. Nor was she its only victim (please read the link about 9-year-old Christina-Taylor Green, a young girl who was born on 9/11 and died yesterday in a sad and tortured post-9/11 world).
Mike’s postings include links that provide context and background that the mainstream media is dancing around and hoping to avoid. (If you’d like to get his updates and analysis of this and other events each day, sign up here.)
Our condolences go out to all the victims and their families.
