    All right, who had GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger as the first to say something stupid pool?

    "“Regardless, if somebody is targeting Planned Parenthood, it’s not indicative of what folks that are opposed to what some of the practices Planned Parenthood commits. We saw these barbaric videos and that is something many of us have a legitimate concern about. That doesn’t mean we’re gonna take guns and walk into Planned Parenthood clinics.”

    Oh, and earlier, he said that PP should apologize if the shooter wasn't targeting them. So now that it appears like he was targeting them, Rep. Kinzinger is ... silent.

    He must be a member of the CC&R Club

    I consider the source. Then I laugh even harder.

    Be nice to have something more concrete than an unnamed "source".

    I'm sure you were just as demanding regarding evidence of the motivation for the attacks in Paris.

    He was quoted from a appearance on CNN. Pretty concrete.

    So, in a perusal of the twitters, still zero comment from any of the leading Republican presidential candidates (except Cruz) about an act of terrorism on US soil. They must be spending a lot of time reading books about goats.

    I will give Carson his due. He is visiting Syrian refugees in Jordan. But the rest?

    Rubio did tweet yesterday that there was only one thing he could say for the day, which was ... go Gators.

    Jeb, meanwhile, didn't have time to express any sympathies, but did manage to take a pic with Hugh Freeze.

    Trump spent several tweets complaining about CNN.

    Christie, who,should know about disasters on American soil? Just thanking the NH Union leader for its every-four-year endorsement of a Republican candidate.

    Carly? Nothing.

    How can we trust these candidates when they won't even make a comment of sympathy towards victims of domestic terrorism?

    I'll take the appearance of introspection and humility over neener-neener politics any day of the week.

    Have they said anything about the white supremacists who shot up the protest in Minneapolis?

    Oh my.

    RT @GovMikeHuckabee: The Colorado Springs tragedy is domestic terrorism, especially for those us in the pro-life movement.
