1 No greater than means that there can be equal. I suspect most US Presidents views France, Germany, UK etc as Europe.
2 The special relationship is embarassing. It makes us sound like a weepy girlfriend with a caddish boyfriend
3 Is this the best they can come up? Good grief!

He's a nut alright, but he's no Tea Party member. Described by his friends as a liberal, pot-smoking, Bush/religion/Iraq-war-hater, he doesn't exactly fit into the Tea Paty demographic but, as a prominent member of the Obama administration famously said, "never let a good crisis go to waste."
It's clear from evidence gathered from the shooter's home that he's had a beef with Giffords since 2007 and that's long before anyone knew who Sarah Palin was.
No he isn't a Tea Party member, do they even have members? Nor does he neccasairly share their nuanced views on taxation.
However creating an air of paranoia and referring to "reloading" "second ammendment solutions" eg the use of guns in a political arena. Is catnip to these maladjusted individuals. And shows a demented lack of responsibility in chasing votes that in any real democracy would prevent you sweeping out the polling booths.
That the guy who carried out this attack had the same gun as the IDF used on the flotilla raid. But was considered too dangerous to go to college?
Well if that's your democracy good for you.
