Linda Lopez (AZ State Senator) just blamed the TEA PARTY for Gifford Shooting

Fox News ^ | 1/8/11

[Cincinatus' Wife]

[snip] “....The shooting comes amid a highly charged political environment that has seen several dangerous threats against lawmakers but nothing that reached the point of actual violence.

A San Francisco man upset with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s support of health care reform pleaded guilty to threatening the Democratic congresswoman and her family, calling her directly on March 25 and threatening to destroy her Northern California home if she voted for health care reform.

In July, a California man known for his anger over left-leaning politics engaged in a shootout with highway patrol officers after planning an attack on the ACLU and another nonprofit group. The man said he wanted to “start a revolution” by killing people at the ACLU and the Tides Foundation.

Giffords herself has drawn the ire of the right, especially for her support of the health care bill from politicians like Sarah Palin.

Her Tucson office was vandalized a few hours after the House vote to approve the health care law in March, with someone either kicking or shooting out a glass door and window…….”

Shep Smith is a liberal piece of garbage and Fox needs to dump him.

When I saw the Sheep Herder on Fox news early thia afternoon I told my wife that someone will blame the Tea Party and sure enough. The Sheep Herder said that jared was a Stan vet but I haven’t seen anything on that yet.

...”mein kampf & communist manifesto as among favorite books.”

Sounds like the blame should be placed on the perpetrator and his own ‘Pity Party’.

[Conservative Vet]

I was offended by that witch. She claimed he was an Afghan War Veteran. No evidence whatsoever! I did a pipl.com search and he was arrested on drug charges at age 19 in 2007. He lists the Communist Manifesto among his favorite books. There is no evidence he was part of the Tea Party—just a crazy, left-wing, pot-smoking, nutcase.

[TomasUSMC]

THE Government is trying to figure out if they should encourage this or not. She IS a Blue Dog, but she IS a woman. The shooter IS white but is he a LEFTY?

[Darren McCarty]

That's what the leftists do. "Never let a crisis go to waste."

We need to put a firewall out to protect our freedoms. No new free speech restrictions. No new restrictions on our 2nd Amendment rights. No new restrictions on our freedoms. Period. Non negotiable.

[StarFan]

Others have heard it as well, apparently. Shep should be forced to apologize!

[FreedomGuru]

Prayers for the congresswoman and all the victims.
Heard the dribble from Linda Lopez but also Fox News graphics were showing that Congresswoman Giffords defeated a TEA Party candidate in the November election.
Already shown the shooter is a whack job.
Will Senator Lopez and Shep the Shlep apologize? Waitng, waiting, Buhler, Buhler, anybody?

[RepublitarianRoger2]

Lopez and Shep might have made this speculation, but this originated with congresswoman Gifford's father, who was asked if Gabrielle had any enemies. His response was, "Yeah...the whole Tea Party." Which, in the political sense, is a true statement. Doesn't necessarily translate into "the Tea Party shot my daughter," though, or even "a particular deranged member of the Tea Party shot my daughter." From what I hear now, the shooter was fond of the Communist Manifesto.

[13Sisters76]

Didn’t we all have that thought when we first heard? IF it turned out to be a white guy, he was going to be an ex-soldier +/o a Tea Partier. Wait until the talkinghead shows tomorrow!

[TomasUSMC]

If its true this punk is a leftProgressive, then we will see INSTANTLY, THE MEDIA, blame guns, blame LACK OF FREE MENTAL HEALTH CARE, blame the Tea Party, blame BLUE DOGS....ON AND ON.

[vickixxxx]

The Congresswoman’s mother also blamed the Tea Party. She was quoted as saying the only enemy my daughter has is the Tea Party.

[RandallFlagg]

Everyone needs to screenshot and save everything about this guy before the enemedia and Googlenazis scrub it all from history!

I don't know if that's been confirmed, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me.

Unabomber essay urges attacks on 'techno-industrial system'
July 27, 2002 | By Dan Eggen, Dominic Gates, Washington Post

In an article published this spring by Green Anarchy, a radical environmental newsletter, [unabomber Ted] Kaczynski calls on revolutionaries to "eliminate the entire techno-industrial system" by "hitting where it hurts" and disparages the activities of most radicals as "pointless."

From the Wall Street Journal
NOVEMBER 24, 2007

Oswald was a dedicated communist who had defected to the Soviet Union in 1959 out of disgust with American capitalism. After becoming disillusioned with Soviet life, he returned to the U.S. in 1962. In early 1963, he bought a scoped rifle through the mail and soon used it to fire a shot (which missed) at retired general Edwin Walker, the head of the John Birch Society in Dallas. In the summer of 1963, Oswald was active in street demonstrations in support of Castro. In September 1963, he visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City seeking a travel visa that would allow him to travel to Cuba.

Oswald was among the radicals of the time who saw Third World revolutionaries like Castro as the wave of the communist future. He was well aware of Kennedy's efforts to overthrow Castro's regime. As a Senate investigative committee suggested in 1975, Oswald shot Kennedy to interrupt his administration's plans to assassinate Castro or to overthrow his regime in Cuba.

Ignoring Oswald's communist links, journalists and political leaders quickly claimed the president was a martyr to civil rights. Earl Warren said that Kennedy had "suffered martyrdom as a result of the hatred and bitterness that has been injected into the life of our nation by bigots." Martin Luther King said the assassination had to be viewed against the backdrop of violence against civil rights marchers in the South. James Reston wrote in the New York Times that "something in the nation itself, some strain of madness and violence, had destroyed the highest symbol of law and order."

The consensus opinion was that Kennedy was a victim of hate and bigotry, a casualty of his support for civil rights. The Cold War and Kennedy's ongoing feud with Castro were rarely mentioned as factors behind the assassination. The reasons? Mrs. Kennedy wanted her husband remembered as a modern-day Abraham Lincoln. Lyndon Johnson feared complicating relations with the Soviet Union. Liberals feared a replay of the McCarthy period, when the Wisconsin senator inflamed public opinion about fears of domestic communism.
