His alleged youtube channel has him burning the flag & supposedly his myspace page includes mein kampf & communist manifesto as among favorite books.


Well now isn’t that interesting... He’s certainly no “Tea Partier.”

Be great to have photos or a slideshow of the killer buring the American Flag -

Pretty tough for the radical left to say he is a right-wing Conservative Republican then

Most people will remember the "Tea Party" accusation, and corrections will get no air-time. The damage has been done.

The fake Facebook page was cited on local news by some tool of a reporter, citing “he’s a fan of Sarah Palin and the Tea Party”.

Now the loony libs in Tucson will be screaming nothing but....

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.

Ahhh - NO

and WTF is your 'going t be an ex-soldier" CRAP?

I'm guessing you don't have family or close tie to our troops.

What pure CRAP

Do you even stop to think that every word you put on the net is out there for the world to read - FOREVER?

I refer you to my original post. Lopez SPECIFICALLY mentioned the Tea Party, and Tea Party SPEECH.

The entire exchange was disgusting. Shep sat there and let her spew that hatred.

A few minutes later, a Washington correspondent whom I had never seen before (he was wearing a yellow tie) DID mention that even though Lopez blamed the Tea Party, Ms. Giffords had some very pro-Tea Party positions—particularly on border control.

I’m not angry, I am calm, but I’ll be damned if I sit by and let someone blame the Tea Party for this violence. The Tea Party is vigilant about liberty and life.

I’ve seen this happen in South Florida with a talk show host: Joyce Kaufman. She was chosen to be Allen West’s chief of staff but was forced out because some listener threatened to kill kids because of an out-of-context sound bite about the Second Amendment.

A blatant anti-Tea Party bias by the liberal media hurt a good woman...and the person who MADE the threat was a liberal puke. The media in South Florida suddenly decided to IGNORE the story.

Hussein’s Alinsky tactics only work if you let them: and I say we DON’T let it happen.

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.

20% of Americans now think it was LBJ behind the assassination with 50-80% believing the SBT and the Warren Commission scenario of one shooter/three shots is BS.

Linda Lopez DID accuse him of being a Tea Party Member and being an Afghan vet. (Guaranteed).
Schelp Smith did not say anything about the TP accusation, but repeated a number of times that the shooter was a vet.
Fox News ran text pointing out that Rep. Gifford’s 2009 opponent was a Tea Party candidate.

You obviously weren’t listening closely, because she specifically mentioned the tea party and their “angry signs” when asked about a possible explanation for the violent act.

I was sickened by her statements. A tragedy like this should NOT be seen as an oppurtunity to score political points. Not exactly the most classy or respectful gesture on her part!

Praying for all involved.

What is frightening to me is the mention of radio programs being part of the cause of this...and TV shows...the sherrif mentioned “bigotry”...I fear that this is going to give the libs the “excuse” they wanted to take Conservatives off the air.

I do recall Obama saying something like, “Get in their face.”

You know, with so many lefties making the same claim, that the Tea Party was involved, it almost seems like the democRAT talking points were put out ahead of the event. They’re all on the same page with this, like always.

Too bad that the guy’s got a history on the internet and it is not the history of a conservative nor a tea party member.
