Three Dead at University of Alabama at Huntsville as Woman Denied Tenure Opens Fire
Horrible.
Here's a live feed of local coverage.
Earlier today TPM attempted to make political hay over a deranged man in Massachusetts:
The Massachusetts man charged this week with stockpiling weapons after saying he feared an imminent "Armageddon" appears to have been active in the Tea Party movement, and saw Sarah Palin, who he said is on a "righteous 'Mission from God,'" as the only figure capable of averting the destruction of society."
Now, if the Huntsville shooter turns out to have the politics I'm guessing she does (meaning: Her politics will never be mentioned in the media at all), do I get to politicize this tragedy?
Or is that only kosher for supposedly "respectable" sites like TPM?
The Harvard-Trained Murderer: Amy Bishop, a neuroscientist profiled last year in the NYT for a cell-generation technology she developed with her husband. A proud graduate of Harvard.
So... does TPM have any snide insinuations about Harvard?
Her husband was also detained -- not sure if he was a shooter too.
Liberal? Splunge posts this from RateMyProfessors.com -- this review of her was posted in April, long before anyone could have known she'd shoot up the school, of course. (Assuming no hijinks going on -- people are posting like mad in her comments today.)
Neuroscience essentially turns into a bioethics class. She's a liberal from "Hahvahd" and let's you know exactly how she feels about particular subjects.
Again, I only point this out because no one in the media ever would. It's only Krazy Kristian Konservatives' misdeeds which become grist for the political mill.
