On Jumping To Conclusions

This is a reality-based community.

When news broke late yesterday that the office of Texas State Senator Wendy Davis (D-Fort Worth) had been attacked by a man who threw molotov cocktails at the door, a diary went up and the diarist included speculation about the attacker's motives, including references to Planned Parenthood.

The comment thread degenerated from there.

Given that there has been a spate of right-wing violence over the last few years (see also G2Geek's excellent diary on "Stochastic Terrorism"), this speculation is understandable to a certain extent. But what I want people to realize is that as liberals, we should be committed to veracity.
