How to Politicize a Tragedy

The shooting at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin is horrible and deeply saddening. It’s terrible when people jump to politicize such an event, and both sides do this. But I noticed one “journalist” on twitter was especially prolific in covering every liberal cause possible:

As a white person I denounce the Temple shooter, this does not represent Sikh values #whatbrownpeopleareforcedtodo

&union member RT @skchheda #templeshooting Oak Creek policeman is hero. Stopped shooter, took fire, now in surgery.

If only the heros of mass shootings – public employees were celebrated after the fact instead of facing wage cuts

RT @pushinghoops When will the white community stop breeding terrorists and denounce extremism??

RT @ErikLoomis All one can really say today is that this country is deeply, deeply fucked up.

easy to dismiss this as hate crime, but what leads to hate – econ depravation, segregation, & media that fails to promote multiculturalism

RT @samknight1 Has anyone asked Michele Bachmann if she denounces the #templeshooting?

Just despicable.

.@MikeElk do you have a checklist of liberal causes to check off when tragedy strikes? that's just pathetic…

UPDATE:

I'm against racial profiling except for open white supremacist tied to violent groups. These folks should be tracked heavily
