Reading the article gave me hope for an even handed portrayal of the reactions to this horrific event. It started out in just that way, then veered into a subtle and not so subtle jab at those who are conservative/republican.
In a number of articles about the shooting and reaction to it, many comment about the hate that seems to be on display about all manner of aspects to the reaction to the shooting. 
There is one aspect to the hate that is being displayed that is not addressed. There is the hate for gays mentioned, hate for Muslims mentioned, hate for different races mentioned, etc. The one hate on prominent display but not mentioned is the hate for anyone or anything conservative. Why does the left hate the right so badly? I have my own theory on that but will let others make their own judgements about this unreasonable hatred by the left.
