Of course there's no good way to respond to that or any tragedy if you are a politician running for office. I simply am not a fan of hashtaggery. Maybe it's because twitter is not my cup of tea or maybe it's because I can't get the image of Michelle Obama wearing a phony frowny face holding the sign #bringbackourgirls out of my head. The hashtag thing seems cheap and insincere to me. This post asked for my opinion, I gave it.I agree with Carson on many issues but at first figured he would be weeded out. However, he has hung in there and is doing well.
His response to the Oregon shootings has me torn. I hate the hashtag approach but I like that he continues to proclaim his Christianity...
There is no "good" way to respond to that tragedy if you are a politician running for office. You know you will be asked and your answer, no matter what it is, will make one group angry, another satisfied, and still another disappointed.
