    LOL Obama and celebs can fuck off. Leave it to celebrities to comment on any major event as if their opinion matters. but im sure in their mind it does.

    I'm sure Colorado doesn't feel all that well about the president being as to how cannabis is a major cash crop and his idiotic goons constantly shut them down.

    It's GEORGE BUSH'S FAULT!

    I don't know why Obama would care this happens in his old neighborhood in Chicago every weekend and he doesn't seem to care.

    @NookiesWA - - Didn't even read your dumb ass comments. Why don't you take your right wing crazy ass and live on an island somewhere. You must be a Rush Limpdick listener. This is a terrible tragic event a you come to this site citing and spewing your hate? FUCK YOU AND THE CRAZY BOAT YOU CAME IN ON. PEOPLE DIED ASS HOLE

    Re: Mrs Momoa – Too bad im a libertian. You're attempting to argue things that are irrefutable. The second you type you're instantly WRONG in this argument. NOT ONLY are you wrong about me being a republican but you're wrong about everything else. YOU mrs libtard may like you're rights being taken away, things being censored, people telling you what you can and cannot eat..But anyone with the least bit intelligence would disagree with that. Ever watch the movie Demolition man? Thats where we're headed.

    Re: NookiesWA – Seeing your recent post, you are obviously uneducated and misinformed about politics.

    Re: andiamobella – Lol another idiot.

    Liberals are the one that have banned underage tanning, attempting to ban big gulp sodas in NY. Fur ban sales. Liberals are the one taking free speech and banning that under the guise of it being a hate speech. Liberals are the ones that get butthurt when you're not overly politically correct. The two most liberal states in the nation, are also the worst to live in. (NY and Cali)..LIBERALS are the ones taking our bill of rights and turning it into toiler paper. It looks as if you're the one uneducated about politics. All you have to do is turn on the TV or read a news website to see that. Liberals are the ones that demand people be fired for expressing their right to free speech. You don't see conservatives demanding people being fired.

    I've never seen such stupid comments in my life. A simple night planned for fun with family and friends ruined. People were killed, or saw someone they loved die or become injured in front of them. Why would any comment be anything other than simply giving prayers to the people involved? As for Celebs commenting, they as members of the human race and have a heart and clear sight of how tragic this is have every right to send love, prayers and so forth. I see them giving no Opinion in their statemens just saying the truth on how sad it is. I'm sorry but all these hate comments are just a shame to have on a post/blog/story/news about such a tragic event.

    Re: NookiesWA – NookiesWA I usually like and agree with your posts, but please as a third generation Callirornian, please do not call my state Cali, that is a city iin Colombia. Thanks much.

    Sidebar, not voting for Obama this time, lost my job of 22 years under his watch thanks to all the darn outsourcing, not crazy about Romney but he is lots better than the right wing Christian nuts.
