Did you guys hear about the Arkansas Dem Chair being shot?? (Bill Gwantey)

Here's the cnn link: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/13/arkansas.shooting/index.html

A DUer from Arkansas said he'd heard that Gwantey died - not an official statement, so don't know if it's true. :(

3. The shooter said he'd lost his job,

apparently went to Baptist headquarters after, said more about losing his job.

Someone said he had worked at one of the car dealerships Gwantey owned (I read he owns three) - so that may be it. Rather than killing the Democrat, maybe he was killing his boss -- the person responsible for doing his job.

I don't know if they've officially given any updates to either Gwantey's or the shooter's conditions.

4. It's open season on liberals.

After all, we had so much power the past 8 years it's easy to see why we are to blame for the poor economy, the war, the environment, etc, etc, etc.

:sarcasm:

on edit: I just heard he died. This is tragic, but mark my words, there will be more. This country is more bitterly divided than I've ever seen in my life & the MSM fans the flames.
