One of the saddest aspects of the tragedies such as yesterday's is that they must instantly play out within our noxious political culture. It's really sickening to see how liberals can hear that a security guard got shot to death in a an attack on an institution dedicated to memorializing the systematic murder of millions of innocent people, and instantly think of how they can exploit the event to score cheap political points. But I don't think conservatives are innocent here either, and I don't think the way to respond to the absurd claims on the left is to try to turn the tables in an attempt to tie liberals to this atrocious act of violence. At some point, we have to say, enough is enough. This has got to stop.
Philip Klein is right on the money here. This was a sick man, who committed a sick crime. we should not try to read anything more into this. To do so would dishonor the memory of the six-million who died in the very Holocaust the museum memorializes.
