Disgusting. Apparently murdering cops is okay if a white pro-lifer does it. It's only those black thugs and terrorist Muslims we have to worry about. The rot of fascism has infected the entire party.

Has anyone interviewing them asked them to? My dad hasn't condemned the PP shooting either, but no one has asked him about it.

Yes, yes.  Candidates should not speak unless spoken to.

I'd be willing to bet many of them also haven't condemned the shooting at Tennessee State University either, or the Armenian genocide, etc etc.

How many of them have even been on the campaign trail the last two days?

On the contrary: http://armenianweekly.com/2015/04/19/ted-cruz-calls-for-genocide-recognition/

But point taken.

Ted Cruz is the only one I've seen mention it: "Praying for the loved ones of those killed, those injured & first responders who bravely got the situation under control in Colorado Springs"

Most other candidates are tweeting about Obama criticism or their campaign's swag stores.

So this and Armenia...Cruz doesn't seem so bad.

Even worse, would be trying in any way to justify this obvious evil. If any candidate does this, I would expect that candidate to pay the penalty. By penalty I don't mean actual punishment but losing credibility and therefore, hopefully support.

Being Prez is a 24/7 job.  They all got two thumbs.  God knows Trump is always tweeting and instagramming.  And why bring your dad into it? Does he want to be President?

Is there an obligation for presidential candidates to condemn every tragedy in the United States?

As President, they will be required to respond to every tragedy in America, so yes it's part of the job.

A huge national story about a high profile terrorist attack targeting a group they had been inciting against?  Staggering cowardice not to condemn or even mention it. Every single one of these Republican candidates is a disgrace and would likely do even worse than the catastrophe that was the last Republican president.

Not too surprising as they're all trying to gain the most support they can and seeming one bit saddened about PP being attacked could cost them support by some of their crazier supporters.

Obama talked about the same thing though, only to break his promise for obvious geopolitical reasons. This is just one of those things that candidates do to make people like them.

John Kasich also joins Cruz on Twitter:

"Senseless violence has brought tragedy to Colorado Springs. I pray for the families in mourning and have hope our nation can heal. -John"

Neither Kasich or Cruz mentioned Planned Parenthood or the motives of the shooter in any way.

Well, of course they're not going to say "I condemn right-wing white Christian terrorism"

Do any of these candidates have the backbone to drop this PC facade and call this what it really is? This is radical Christian terrorism, plain and simple.

Even when one of them condemns it, the delay is still scandalous. None are qualified for job.

Conservatives don't like Democratic candidates and vice versa. Obviously.

My point was on the specific subject of the OP, the cowardice of the GOP candidates is disqualifying.

Being qualified for the job has nothing to do with my post. The title says no Republican has condemned the shooting and that is false.
