Hateful speech

I wonder if the Republican members of the House committee who used provocative and inflammatory language to attack Planned Parenthood a few weeks ago have any regrets should it show that the killer who murdered three people in Colorado Springs was inspired by their hateful language.

Words do have consequences, and sometimes they can lead a deranged individual to commit violent acts.
