The liberals know damned well that Palin had nothing to do with this. I know many liberals. Their first impulse is to satisfy their hatred, and they HATE Sarah Palin.
I have experienced this type of hatred before. When I was stationed in Germany I could not believe how many of the old guys still hated the Jews and blamed them for everything.
They believed in big government too.
Trying to pin this tragedy on Palin, the Tea Party, or any other group is failing badly for the Democrats...
That they are trying this is in itself hate filled vitriol.
The bought propagandists were launching their rants five minutes after the shooting happened. Their charges, directed at Palin and Republicans in general, were not connected to any specific facts because there weren’t any.
This is what they do. They are never not accusing Palin and Republicans of something awful. Remember, we’ve just come off of eight years of Bush-Cheney as Hitler. They have never stopped screaming about Palin and the “tea party” Repub rank and file... when have they ever stopped accusing them of whatever spills out of their word processors?
When the permanently outraged are outraged, how do you really logically tie one particular spasm of outrage to one specific event? They are always outraged. If someone got shot by yet another permanently outraged nutcase, they are outraged, and if someone didn’t get shot, they are still outraged and still accusing Palin and the Repubs of whatever awful thing they can think of in the moment.
Permanent continuous outrage is not real. Real outrage ebbs and flows; their fake outrage never stops and it bears only superficial connection to any real events. Talking to them, trying to convince them of your innocence and good intentions is a stupid waste of time. They aren’t listening; they aren’t reasoning, they are making noise in the hope that if their noise is loud no one can hear you.
We need to develop our own information networks and more past them.
Loughner may have been obsessed with Representative Giffords as much as three years ago, before anyone had heard of Sarah Palin, before the Tea Party, before the rise of our alleged “climate of hate” in response to Pres. Barack Obama’s election. Loughner attended an August 2007 town-hall meeting and left angered at her inability to answer a nonsensical question: “What is government if words have no meaning?”

I’m not sure if this is straying from topic or not, but it’s buggin’ me.
I’ve read that she DID answer his crazy question— after a few minutes of thought—she answered him in Spanish.
That was the answer, no? He did or didn’t understand Spanish (I suspect didn’t) and her answering in Spanish— either way— proved words have meaning. It burst his bubble.
He later posted “Eating a Chicken Pot Pie in a voting booth with the option for a Spanish vote...” (Tucson voter folk told us he only voted in 2008, that question to Gifford was in 2007)

I think she somewhat embarrassed him with her clever solution/answer. Then she marries an astronaut, Loughner obsessed over NASA.
I wonder if being paranoid he somehow thought she did these things to/against him?
The Fourth dimension of warfare: Intelligence, subversion, resistance
First I quote from Mao Tse-tung on the relationship between war and politics: War cannot for a single moment be separated from politics; politics are bloodless war, war is the politics of bloodshed.1
And they really do think that Loughner was driven to it because they don't believe in the existence of evil.
Their twisted godless black hearts always accuse others of that which they are most guilty of, which is unreasoning rage at their opposition.
The irony of their own vitriol obviously escapes them. Twitter yesterday made me ill.
It's like Ann Coulter says, liberalism is a disease, and boy are we getting a good look at it right now.
