Opportunist Leftists use tornado tragedy for advantage

  Daily Show writer thinks it's really funny to joke about the dead in Oklahoma by tweeting:
This tornado is in Oklahoma so clearly it has been ordered to only target conservatives.
  Later she tweeted that she had probably made the "joke" too soon, before the "devastation" was revealed. 
  I'm just wondering when a tornado ISN'T devastating.
  And then there's the Rhode Island "Senator" who used the tornados to accuse the Republicans of not really working on global warming, even though there's been an inexplicable slowdown of warming. The Daily Caller:
“So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care if we Republicans run off the climate cliff like a bunch of proverbial lemmings and disgrace ourselves? I’ll tell you why. We’re stuck in this together. We are stuck in this together. When cyclones tear up Oklahoma and hurricanes swamp Alabama and wildfires scorch Texas, you come to us, the rest of the country, for billions of dollars to recover. And the damage that your polluters and deniers are doing doesn’t just hit Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas. It hits Rhode Island with floods and storms. It hits Oregon with acidified seas, it hits Montana with dying forests. So, like it or not, we’re in this together.” 
Whitehouse went on to condemn the current Republican position on global warming, citing economic, environmental and diplomatic damages.
  Yes, Republicans, conservatives and capitalists are positively despicable, aren't they? 
  Surely those tornados wouldn't have occurred if we had a global warming TAX to fix the wind, the rain and those danged weather systems.
