Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik failed to protect the community.

Even the college saw this man as a threat.

AZ involuntary commitment laws would have bolstered what the Community College saw and acted upon.

This is much bigger than the Sheriff or the murderer.

Read the last paragraph by the Washintong Post Cartoonist.

This is what the people that rule us...think of us, while they steal our livelihoods and our private healthcare!

[isthisnickcool]

The cartoon is based on nothing.

It is pretty clear that the people that got their hats handed to them in the last election and their media whores have become even more unbalanced. Savage is right, liberalism is a mental disorder.

Probably into a few brews at that point.

Not that I've ever done anything like that.

Thank you for sharing this. I enjoyed how he made a point of stating he received the Bronze Medal and adds that it means nothing to him - right there it is apparent which ‘side’ he leans towards. Yes, he and all the other brainwashed mopes view us in this manner. As my 87 year old father has taught me; “the squeaky wheel gets the oil”, and boy are they squealing now!

[DustyMoment]

So in my experience, there is plenty of linkage, the linkage of a constant steady pressure, constant yammering on right wing radio, and constant political advertising to strike at the government, linking to a weak and distracted mind, inured to the real cost of violence by video games and super-violent films. And to this the easy availability of Glocks in a state like Arizona, and the result is more than predictable. Only willful political opportunism could blind anmyone to it. This same connection drove Timothy McVeigh and others. This won’t, I regret to say, be the last incident, not as long as the self-hatred in this country goes unanswered.

Actually, Ted Danziger has confirmed what most of us already believe - it is LIBERALS (Democrats, for those in Rio Linda) who have created the harsh political environment and enmity between the two major parties by constantly politicizing EVERY significant event in American life and trying to blame everything bad on conservatives. Their manipulation and usage of projection is nothing short of despicable and nauseating. If we are to return to an era of polite and civil political discourse in this country, a MAJOR effort will have to be initiated by the left. I suggest starting with the Congress, then focusing on the nutjobs at Daily Kos and DU!!

[Bullish]

It must be nice to always feel so self righteous, huh Danziger? Just like that creepy little German guy with the glasses on PMSNBC.

I love how the majority of cowardly leftists in the country refuse to proudly declare their ideology; instead they hide behind the moniker of “moderate”, like this bag of douche. That’s why ~20% identify as liberal and ~40% as “moderate”. Most of that ~40% are obfuscating liberals.

Does Mr. Danziger understand the difference between less government and anarchy? Conservatives aren’t stupid chaos worshipers; we know that a certain level of government is necessary for a free, responsible society. Loughner is probably most closely related to an anarchist than to anything else, politically speaking. Anarchists don’t seem to have a firm grip on reality, and he would seem to fit right in with the ones that still wander amongst us.

"Ed. We are not in court. I have been watching the development of this combination of loons and opportunists since it started. The Tea Party, the very name is ridiculous. Crazed fat people tortured by their lack of success in life, following the absolute worst of our politicians. Palin, Angel, Quayle’s rotten kid. These people are your choice for anything? The whole thing is based on unreality. Don’t you understand? And Mcveigh was reading that crazy shit from the enbd times or whagtever it is called. In the end the government has GOT to work. We are in competition with the world. Car companies don’t compete. nation now compete. And these asses want to go back to the 1700′s. I’ve written enough. The whole thing is probably unstoppable except with another dumb war. That’s what usually happens. You can have it." I can't believe this person actually replied like this. This person has to be either dumbest person on the face of the planet. or just shamefully ignorant. It is evident that he is the reason for the shooting, not Palin. It's people like that who fuel the hate and the fighting. They are so arrogant and self centered that they lost sight of reality. It is the left that wants us back in the stone age with socalled green technology (No lights, no cars and no trucking for produce and goods) I wish these "left Wingers" would come on up to the 21st Century. It would make life so much easier

From the Miami Herald;

“TUCSON, Ariz. — At an event roughly three years ago, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords took a question from Jared Loughner, the man accused of trying to assassinate her and killing six other people. According to two of his high school friends the question was essentially this: “What is government if words have no meaning?”
“Loughner was angry about her response - she read the question and didn’t have much to say.
“He was like ... ‘What do you think of these people who are working for the government and they can’t describe what they do?’” one friend told The Associated Press on Sunday. “He did not like government officials, how they spoke. Like they were just trying to cover up some conspiracy.”
“Both friends spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they wanted to avoid the publicity surrounding the case. To them, the question was classic Jared: confrontational, nonsensical and obsessed with how words create reality.
“The friends’ comments paint a picture bolstered by other former classmates and Loughner’s own Internet postings: that of a social outcast with nihilistic, almost indecipherable beliefs steeped in mistrust and paranoia.”

In my opinion, all this points to the likely immediate cause of this madman’s rampage as the deconstructionist thinking that is all the rage on campuses today. This is a quintessential leftist philosophy and gestalt. It is also essential lunatic at its core. It should not be surprising that it has wound up making at least one person certifiable.

It has made millions into loons, at the minimum.

[TigersEye]

Danziger is nuttier than Loughner.

[Straight Vermonter]

I would guess that your experience is on one political side rather than the other. I am on neither.

This is a blatant lie. I just took a quick tour of Danzingers cartoons. He is a lefty who HATES anyone who opposes big government.

[castlegreyskull]

Someone should inform this “impartial” journalist that there was no car companies in the 1700s.

The Tea Party, the very name is ridiculous. Crazed fat people tortured by their lack of success in life, following the absolute worst of our politicians. Palin, Angel, Quayle’s rotten kid. These people are your choice for anything? The whole thing is based on unreality. Don’t you understand?

Perfect example of hateful rhetoric. Now are we going to have to blame Danzinger if some madman goes after a right winger?

[dalereed]

You pimp this as a must read article and it’s nothing but a stinking blog!!!

[abigailsmybaby]

Ask to explain the assertion that violent video games, violent rap music and violent movies have absolutely no influence whatsoever on the “unstable” but political opinion does.

LibSpeak:

I would guess that your experience is on one political side rather than the other. I am on neither. I want all this goddam noise and manufactured strife to stop. I want people to work toward a better country. I think I have earned the right to insist on it.

LibSpeak translated:

If you disagree that government and socialism is the natural progression of civilization then you are hateful, bigoted and a religious zealot. To be anti-big government(communist) is tantamount to being a Nazi. You are a throw back to the dark ages of capitalism. You must be silenced because you are a dangerous impediment to "progress". We will even politicize the death of a 9 year girl to slander your pathetic Neolithic asses.
