Kitzhaber Says AZ Shooting Due to Political Divisions

H/T Ann Marie for calling our attention to this. 
I think we’ve established this AZ shooter is a nutball, but apparently the Governor didn’t get word in time to take this pap out of his speech. The Governor makes the ‘mistake’ of mischaracterizing the shooting and then expects us to say nothing because to say something is to be “ideological” and “divisive” which will make “progress difficult.”
As we embark on this session each of us has a choice to make. We can remember that the common commitment, or we can allow the divisions of ideology to be magnified making progress difficult.
We have seen that happen here; we have seen it in Washington DC; and as we saw it two days ago in Arizona, these divisions can turn tragically toxic.
Let each of us choose to turn away from that path because the challenges we face dwarf those divisions. Let us debate; let us disagree; but let us never question each others motives, patriotism or love for Oregon.
