Left and Media (But I Repeat Myself) In a Fact-Free Frenzy to Blame Palin for Giffords Shooting
Paterico's Pontifications ^ | 1/9/11 | Patterico

Posted on 01/09/2011 8:46:07 PM PST by Lakeshark

The facts are simple.

Jared Loughner was a lunatic. *snip*

Given the lack of connection between Palin’s map and the shooter’s actions, together with the presence of identical rhetoric from the left, the talk today is, of course, about how it’s all Sarah Palin’s fault. And the left is exploiting this shooting to the hilt — facts be damned

They crossed the line when Clinton blamed talk radio for the Oklahoma City bombing.

It was the most despicable thing he ever did, and it worked.

I'm thinking they blew it this time though.......

Associated supPress (AP) has this biased report (no mention that the suspect’s favorite books included the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf).

Note how they paint Giffords as a “conservative Democrat” so they can then follow up with the idea that he was probably shooting her because of her immigration beliefs. His grammar videos seemed to not implicate Hispanics at all. Rather he was just spewing his crazy thoughts. My take is he is suffering from schizophrenia.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110110/ap_on_re_us/us_congresswoman_shot;_ylt=Ak5ZK6HuLCiNxv.j8tiT9St34T0D;_ylu=X3oDMTJtZXJzdHBrBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMTEwMTEwL3VzX2NvbmdyZXNzd29tYW5fc2hvdARjcG9zAzEEcG9zAzIEc2VjA3luX3RvcF9zdG9yeQRzbGsDYXV0aG9yaXRpZXNj

...”Giffords, a conservative Democrat re-elected in November, faced threats and heckling over her support for immigration reform and the health care overhaul. Her office was vandalized the day the House approved the landmark health care measure.

It is not clear whether those issues motivated the shooter to fire on the crowd gathered to meet Giffords.

In a YouTube video, which featured text against a dark background, Loughner described inventing a new U.S. currency and complained about the illiteracy rate among people living in Giffords’ congressional district in Arizona. “

The left is terrified of Sarah Palin. They know what she'll do in the White House in 2013 - destroy their little elitist/socialist/fascist/communist thing they have forced on us.

The libs and the MSM (yes I know that's redundant, just trying for complete coverage of the conspiracy) will throw anything and everything at Sarah Palin leading up to the 2012 election. Nothing will be off-limits. By this time next year I expect them to say she is is cheating on her husband with an alien. No, not someone who crossed the boarder into Arizona illegally, someone that flew here in a UFO from a galaxy far far away... I'm serious, I expect the PDS to get that silly.

The leftist democrat/media complex is a combination of insane and despicable.

"Abraham Lincoln (1865) - killed by John Wilkes Booth, a Democrat
James Garfield (1881) - killed by Charles J. Guiteau, a Democrat
William McKinley (1901) - killed by Leon Czolgosz, Democratic Anarchist
John F. Kennedy (1963) - killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, Communist
Attempts on:
Andrew Jackson by Robert B. Randolph, Democrat Liberal
Franklin D. Roosevelt by Giuseppe Zangara, Democrat Liberal
Harry S. Truman by Pedro Albizu Campos, Nationalist Socialist
Gerald Ford by Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, a follower of Charles Manson, Socialist
Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley, Jr., Registered Democrat"
We can now add Giffords shooting to this list.

None of my guns killed anyone today, not one.

Is this Sarah Palin’s fault too?

Don’t recall 1/8 of the screaming and hollering when President Reagan was shot. Nor was there as much hoopla caused by the Ft. Hood shooting. Heck, “they” barely acknowledge 9/11.

They, the Media/Lefties are desperate because...THEY LOST. That’s all this is about. It’s so bad, it’s as if the Dems PAID Giffords for his services.
