I agree both sides should get down to the business of coming together to solve our problems.  Had you been as generous with your condemnation of those on the right who grabbed the spotlight to place blame on the left as you were the other way around, I might even have agreed with your major premise - sadly you chose to focus on only those who are not of your party.  Hardly the way to bring people together.  Most of what I saw the day of/after the shooting was most people saying yes come together. Only a few went off the reservation - but it was on both sides, not just the left.
