Texas shooter was Tea Party member

Another murderous massacre today, this time near the campus of Texas A&M. The gunman killed 2, including a police constable. Plus, the shooter himself died in the rampage.

Now the gunman has been identified as a nearby resident named Thomas Caffall. Lo and behold, Caffall's Facebook page is full of "likes" for the usual slate of Tea Party and other right-wing kook-a-loon sites. This factoid is completely ignored even by news outlets that have discussed in detail the rest of the contents of his bizarre Facebook page.

Caffall's stepfather said that months ago Caffall had "vowed never to work again" - which is particularly ironic in light of the Tea Party's pretenses of being models of industriousness.

It's time for authorities to bring the hammer down on right-wing domestic terrorism.
