Details about the shooter of Gabrielle Giffords seem to be slowly revealed, and many early reports may end up with the sources having egg on their faces.
Despite initial reports from major news sources like ABC and bloggers like Paul Krugman, the shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, does not appear to be a Tea Party conservative. Even AP initially pointed to a conservative as the probable shooter stating that Giffords had “been the target of violence-tinged rhetoric from political opponents and of threats that appear to have come from right-wing activists.”
Krugman initially claimed in his New York Times blog post that talk radio hosts such as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck should apologize and take the blame. Jane Fonda has tweeted that the “right wing” and Sarah Palin and Glen(n) Beck incited the violence.
Loughner posted his favorite books, and they include Hitlers Mein Kopf, The Communist Manifesto, and We The Living. He also posted on his youtube page that his favorite video was of a flag burning, not exactly a normal action associated with the conservative movement.
This story is evolving and it appears that police are also searching a nearby house, but no reason for the search was given.
WOW! Just got in from working all day in the yard, it appears I have a bunch of catching up to do and FR is running slow, dern.
Lol... They’ll never apologize. They’ll just spin it so that it’s still Palin’s fault.
I clinked a link that went to WA POST.
You should read the comments.
They are blaming Palin, repubs, NRA,anti-gov hysteria.
This nut worked for the congresswomen for re-election. Looks like he was mad that she voted against Pelosi.
He was and is a liberal idiot!
Aren’t they all?
The LIEberals have been advocating violence against conservatives for so long, it is no suprise that they would begin to turn on their own. DUmocrat attempts to paint this LIEberal loser as a "right-wing nut" right away also comes as no suprise. It is also expected that DUh-bama and his minions already are planning to use this incident as fuel to further their agenda and make another power grab.

Was he a registered dem or Rep? Easy to check.

I can hear it now;
"The extremism of the Tea Party drove this kind young man to adopt leftist ideas and then shoot at a crowd. It's the Tea Party's fault"/sarc
Blueboy posted this dramatic material in her/his diary page on DK
It explains much about Dems, their 'values' and their common practice is to personalize every issue.
Fast forward to this election season. A weirdo asshole named Jesse Kelly who advocated ELIMINATING Social Security and was a tea bagger favorite got the GOP nom to run against her. I am gay and had been married and my spouse left me January 15, 2010. I shot myself in the mouth in a serious suicide attempt, because of that. Barely surviving, I spent two months in the hospital and still have some paralysis. I did receive a severance from my employer, as i had been laid off in December, 2009. That may have been part of the reason my spouse left me.
Anyway, after months of physical and mental rehab, I got back into the political scene and started working for Gabby once again. I raised over $100,000 for her and maxed her out myself out of my severance, even though i still don't have work and could not qualify for state aid because of my severance.
She wins her re-election and told me she was still a supporter of Speaker Pelosi at her victory party. We talked about how Nancy Pelosi was a successful woman and accomplished oh so much in just four years as Speaker.
Today, just a little while ago, I saw on Andrea Mitchell Reports (out of the one eye in can still see out of) that Giffords voted AGAINST Nancy Pelosi as our Minority Leader. Rhetorical question: I fought back from my condition and jumped in with both feet to help Gabrielle Giffords for THIS shit???
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is dead to me now. I won't lift a finger, make one phone call, nor will i EVER vote for her in the future. And why did she do this? Giffords never told me she was conservative Democrat. And her voting record is okay. Damn.
Do you see how tweeked out the posters on DK have become?
I place the bodies of those slain stacked before the Libs front door!
(Dons tin-foil hat)
Actually, I’m beginning to think this guy got a phone call with some code phrase like “...miles to go before I sleep.”
After all, this came at a pretty good time for Pres. Obama, leftist radicals, their minions, and their dupes.
Too bad he did not use a bigger gun when he shot himself.
Some goofy looking creature burning the Stars and Stripes.

Remember how the belt-way sniper was a white male between the age of 30 and fifty and drove a van or a pick-up?
The lefties are masters of projection.
It's the same "Heads I Win, Tails You Lose" strategy that the Global Warming Climate Change crowd employs. To wit: if it's over 100 degrees in New York for 6 straight days in July, it's due to Climate Change. And, if it's below 15 degrees in New York for 6 straight days in January, it's due to Climate Change.

But I re-pete myself...
How about that DUmpster `Oscar’: “Prouud-to-be-gay” BlueBoy?
He writes that he tried to kill himself by shooting himself in the mouth.
And Krugman, Fonda, the Wash. Post and NYT—all shooting their mouths off.
All left-wing loosers!

He was at the right age for mental illness to set in. After reading quite a bit of his posting I'd say that is what pushed over the edge. (As if being a lefty nihilist isn't a mental illness in itself)
It's my belief you'll see many more "isolated incidents" of lefty violence as we take back our nation. It's all related to their perception of what the world 'should be', they just can't handle it.
