before blurting out something like that (much less the potential for additional loss of life), this person has a REAL problem.

He should have left the nasty insults to the republicans. They have a lot more practice.

like this who can be hung around the neck of the entire party. The midterms are far too important.

And they're saying that we're all violent lunatics who laugh when something like this happens. And then they'll turn around and take out their hate against anyone who doesn't support Trump 100%. God, I hate these assholes.

We have to actually be better. Social media is going to ruin many careers but it will never be an excuse for a fuck up like this.

They are a tribal bunch. They post some extremely horrifying shit. If you want proof look at Hillary Clinton's Twitter feed. They post this crap and expect to be taken seriously. Someone from our side makes one tiny little joke, and they go apeshit. They can dish it out, but they sure can't take it.

Who does Tasini think he is, talking like that - a Republican? Because they're the only ones who can score political points by an appeal to deity in a tragic situation.

other OPs of mine that trash Bernie. We're in the middle of a war here and this clown has hurt the cause which places him firmly on my shit list. If you can't deal with that, that's entirely your problem.

An ignore button.

There's a particular grade-school level irony in announcing to someone you're going to ignore them.

Gay City News endorsed Tasini's Senate candidacy, citing his support for same-sex marriage, and Clinton's stated opposition to legalizing same-sex marriage.

We hardly knew ya

I'm so confused

Before the news that there was injuries and a fatality, pretty much all of left-Twitterland, including The Rude Pundit, had either a laugh or a snarky remark.

But go ahead. Carry on

or any of the others working on a major candidate's campaign?

They've since deleted their tweets. Give this a fucking rest. We also saw it right here on DU (hint, check the LBN thread on this to start)

Here’s his apology tweet.

Tasini ran a hopeless campaign against Chuck Schumer some years back.

at the time.. 2006.

We've had our own share of that sentiment, expressed a dozen different ways, on DU this morning as well.

I don't think any of us are a spokesperson for a national candidate. I didn't see those threads and it sounds like I should be glad I didn't. By the time I heard about the accident, I already knew people were hurt.

If it wasn't for all those safety features and regulations that Republicans and Libertarians fight against because they think regulations are evil, the world would've become a better place today.

how many people have been publicly brought down by an errant tweet or post, and yet other people just continue doing it.

others or speak for them, you need to act like a responsible adult. That tweet was disgusting. Social media will ruin plenty of careers.

him to use our party in 2016 and now his associations are ours.

of the majority of Americans than I do.

Looks like his Tweet was about 20 minutes after news of the death broke.
