Amazing. And NOT In a Good Way.

So I get this tweet from David Burge:
In the heated competition for most idiotic post-shooting commentary, I believe we have a winner: http://bit.ly/dZsy16
I dutifully trot off to read whatever hyperbolic bullshit rantings this might be, thinkin' it's prolly more Lefty Outrage(!).  But noooo.  It's Moderate Right-Wing Outrage!  Excerpt:
After horrific shootings, we hear calls for stricter regulation of guns. The Tucson shooting should remind us why we regulate marijuana.

Jared Lee Loughner, the man held as the Tucson shooter, has been described by those who know as a “pot smoking loner.”

He had two encounters with the law, one for possession of drug paraphanalia.

We are also learning that Loughner exhibited signs of severe mental illness, very likely schizophrenia.

The connection between marijuana and schizophrenia is both controversial and complicated. The raw association is strong:
  • Schizophrenics are twice as likely to smoke marijuana as non-schizophrenics.
  • People who smoke marijuana are twice as likely to develop schizophrenia as those who do not smoke.
But is correlation causation?

Increasingly experts seem to be saying: “Yes.”
Experts also are saying blatant asshattery is not the sole provenance of the Left.  For God's sake, Frum... are you THAT fucking stupid?  Your commenters certainly think so.

The image is from a web search and not from the Clue-Free Frum.  Obviously.
