A Tucson mass shooting victim was taken into custody Saturday after yelling "you're dead" at a Tea Party spokesman during the taping of an ABC-TV town hall event hosted by Christianne Amanpour.

He faces charges of threats and intimidation and disorderly conduct, according to Tucson TV station KGUN.

He'll claim that if the Palin backed Tea Party wasn't there the poor victims wouldn't have had to make the threat.

Why would he be mad at Tea Party members? The lunatic shooter was a lefty.

,” Fuller, a naval air veteran, drove himself to Northwest Hospital after being shot.”

MSNBC perpetuates the lie. “released for OTHER then physical reasons”

Any actual proof he was at the scene.

Kind of puzzling but I think there may have been a bit of attention grab involved.

The media pinkos have had great success in not mentioning damaging news or menitoning it only in passing. Look for that from PMSNBC

WOW is that seriously the name of their network..KGUN LOL I just had to laugh at that one..and yeah, expect the left to blame Palin on Monday..Chris Matthews will say that Sarah appeared in one of Fuller’s dreams that he loves having so much and told him to do it

“Why would he be mad at Tea Party members? The lunatic shooter was a lefty.”

Projection: Accusing others of what you are actually doing.

(Lefties do this all the time...)

Is there any actual evidence that Fuller was at the safeway during the shooting?

I’ve never seen anything yet where someone would confirm he was actually there. All I’ve seen is that he claimed to “play dead” after being shot. Once the shooting stopped, he got into his car and drove to the hospital.

They claim that TEA Party rhetoric drives leftists insane, so its the TEA Partys’ fault.
