Alright, this is just ridiculous

Hubbard Woods School in Illinois has recently de-invited first lady Laura Bush to a children's book reading. Why? Because anti-gun nuts argued that because of a shooting rampage at the school 16 years ago, it would be wrong for a representative of the Bush administration to come to the school for any reason. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm positive that the current Bush administration had nothing to do with something that happened over a decade and a half ago. I'm also positive that Laura Bush has nothing to do with any Second Amendment policies of the current administration. And I'm definitely positive that having the first lady attend a book reading will not have anything to do with the gun control debate. Some people can't see that, I guess. All they see is the world as colored by their hatred of guns.

This statement from one of the anti-gun nuts was particularly amusing in its hypocrisy:

"When I think of those people having to see children at Hubbard Woods School be political props as part of a campaign swing from a president who has been so closely associated with the NRA (National Rifle Association) and has done so little to promote sensible gun laws, it was just hurtful to me," Bishop said.

"Just as we would not want to politicize the World Trade Center site or Columbine (High School), this place ought never be politicized," Bishop said.

But that's exactly what this guy has done! He used the children at the school to be political props and politicized the school. I guess it's okay to do that as long as it is against the Bush administration.
