I can't stand Beck and Bachmann, they're terrible human beings and in their quests for power they fan the flames of hate in such a brazen way that I'm surprised they've not yet been found guilty of inciting violence. My opinion has nothing whatsoever to do with who they attack, though, and I'm not alone in that. I feel that I can speak on behalf of most if not all other progressive members here on TFP in that they and I would be equally frustrated with Beck and Bachmann regardless of who they were attacking with lies and hatred. It's the attacks, the lies, the race-baiting, the ignorance, and the downright disloyalty we take issue with.

Edit: I feel it needs to be said, before anyone goes jumping to conclusions, the evidence that this is suicide is that the letters were not written in the way that a majority of people write them ("bottom up") and there don't seem to be any concrete signs of a struggle. While this is clearly more than any insurance company would want to deny life insurance, the fact of the matter is that it's hardly conclusive, in fact it demonstrates really shoddy logic. If the man were on his back when the letters were written and someone was standing or sitting over him on the head side, that could very easily explain why the letters were written from the bottom up, and without that piece of evidence, the "no evidence of a struggle" thing is meaningless.

As I said before:

The evidence, when reviewed objectively (something insurance companies are incapable of), all seems to point in the direction of some crazy asshole or assholes doing this, even though I wish it weren't the case. So maybe there shouldn't be feathers in caps about this just yet. Or at all, because a man fucking died.
