The latest ABC News story has dropped all of their cute implications and are reporting that the guy is pretty much a nutcase, so you just know they've found evidence that directly and conclusively contradicts the whole tea party/sarah palin angle.
Thanks to Arizona, who allows anyone to carry a concealed weapon in public, this will probably become a more common occurrence. Republicans have given homegrown terrorists the tools and legal authority to commit this kind of crime through all of their irresponsible, draconian gun legislation. The NRA should be officially named as a terrorist organization.
The only HATE I hear comes from the Left (aka The Control Freaks). They are already judge, jury and executioner before all the facts have come out.
I guess the left looks for any excuse to shut down anyone who disagrees with Obama. The ONLY person to blame for this is the Shooter.

I believe so.
Statements from her father and Lautenberg and Linda Lopez could certainly spark violence against Conservatives congresspersons.
Noted on CNN, security has been stepped up at the US Capitol following the shooting.

.@antderosa I went to high school, college, & was in a band with the gunman. This tragedy has just turned to horrific.
Here is an excerpt from the writings of the shooter:
If theres no flag in the constitution then the flag in the film is unknown.
Theres no flag in the constitution.
Therefore, the flag in the film is unknown.
Burn every new and old flag that you see.
Burn your flag!
I bet you can imagine this in your mind with a faster speed.
Watch this protest in reverse!
Ask the local police; Whats your illegal activity on duty?.
If you protest the government then theres a new government from protesting.
Theres not a new government from protesting.
Thus, you arent protesting the government.
Theres something important in this video: Theres no communication to anyone in this location.
You shouldnt be afraid of the stars.
Theres a new bird on my right shoulder. The beak is two feet and lime green. The rarest bird on earth, theres no feathers, but small grey scales all over the body. Its with one large red eye with a light blue iris. The bird feet are the same as a woodpecker. This new bird and theres only one, the gender is not female or male. The wings of this bird are beautiful; 3 feet wide with the shape of a bald eagle that you could die for. If you can see this bird then you will understand. You think this bird is able to chat about a government?
I want you to imagine a comet or meteoroid coming through the atmosphere.
On the other hand, welcome yourself to the desert: Maybe your ability to protest is from the brainwash of the current government structure.
Yeah, Glen is what i call an armed pacifist.
He and his family are armed, well trained, and purely defensive.
What we don't know is if anyone with a cc permit was instrumental in the takedown. At one point the Fox ticker said the gunman was wounded. Perhaps the only thing that stood between the gunman and a reload was an armed citizen.
Or like when black panther spokesfag samir shabazz said, “We gotta kill they babies”.
Correction: Post 27
FOUND both below on the WEB - FWIW:
There's no explaining the emotionally disturbed, enhanced with the addition of ignorance and anger management issues.
Crosshairs are used in dozens of instruments other than firearms. Off the top of my head, there are surveying transits, theodolites and levels; Tracking of space-related activities; microscopes; astronomic telescopes. Focusing on anything far away is not always on the mounts of a rifle.
Further, people who don't know the difference between the word "niggardly" and the "N" word are unlikely to have even a tenuous grasp of metaphors and other nuances of speech.
I suppose we can now expect a new Federal law against spoken English not understood by the ignorant, the militant progressives and the insane.
Some members of all parts of the political spectrum tend to be insane, mentally unbalanced and suffer from anger management issues. My opinion is that these afflictions are more in evidence on DU (aka Democratic Underground, aka Deficients Union) and other no-holds-barred-language communities, but people can go check for themselves.
But oddly, only conservative spokesmen can arouse the mentally marginal to violence. Neither an arrogant elected political community nor the radical "progressives" who mouth violence and profanity daily, can adversely effect the marginally mentally incompetent.
Odd, that.

Now that they’ve festooned the shooter with teabags, I’ll bet that NYT and WaPo are hating Twitter in a big way.
They lie through their teeth Plblius6961 and they’re lapping this up like dog vomit.
Here’s how it’s being reported in the Phoenix paper:
[snip]
“...Obama said he had called Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and offered the full resources of the federal government and promised investigators would get to the bottom of the shooting.
“We don’t know yet what provoked this unspeakable act,” Obama said.
Brewer appeared visibly shaken at a news conference as she said “I am just heartbroken.”
Brewer said she has ordered flags in Arizona to be flown at half staff. She called the shooting “an unbelievable tragedy’ for the people of Arizona. She called Giffords a friend.
“I’ve grown to love and respect her. She never really played partisan politics. She was serious about her work,” Brewer said. “She is a very gracious public servant.”
Brewer was asked if how the shooting reflected on Arizona.
“It certainly doesn’t show favor on the state of Arizona, but we have a lot of good decent people here,” Brewer said.
On Saturday afternoon, about 60 to 70 people had gathered outside Giffords’ office on Swan Road in Tucson.
The mood was somber. At one point 35 people held hands in a circle, as motorists drove by honking in support. People were getting information from texts and mobile devices. At times they sang “Give Peace a Chance.”
Among the wounded in Saturday’s shooting were two Giffords staffers who were expected to recover: Ron Barber, Giffords’ district director; and Pam Simon, a community outreach worker....”

Sorry, buddy, demons--real or imagined--are no excuse for your choices and actions.
[snip] In brief public remarks, President Obama said he had dispatched F.B.I. director Robert Mueller to the scene.
A 22-year old man was taken into custody after being tackled by people in the small crowd after the shooting. One pistol was recovered and it had what police described as "an extended clip."
The man was identified as Jared Loughner, who appears to have left a trail of Internet postings, including some that express convoluted observations about government. Law enforcement officials said they believed he was a military veteran.
Giffords, who in November narrowly won reelection to a third term, was hosting her first "Congress on Your Corner" event when a gunman ran up and began shooting her and others in her entourage with a Glock handgun, according to law enforcement sources.
Eyewitness Steven Rayle, a Tucson doctor, said he saw a young man wearing sneakers and what appeared to be navy blue sweats approach Gifford with a semi-automatic handgun raised. The man shot Giffords once in the face, he said. After Giffords fell, he said, a number of people near Giffords sought to flee but were trapped--hemmed in by the table and a concrete post. The gunman fired into the crowd, he said.
"It was so close, and sort of a tight thing, there was nowhere easy to run," Rayle said. "So most of the crowd got it, you know."
"People that were there were just sitting ducks," Rayle said. "I don't think he was even aiming. He was just firing at whatever."
After a few seconds, Rayle said, the man stopped shooting and tried to flee.

Shooter Video http://www.youtube.com/user/Classitup10#p/a/u/1/nHoaZaLbqB4
From the Smoking Gun:
Before its content was deleted following todays shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the alleged gunmans MySpace page included, as seen above, a picture of suspect Jared Loughner and a photo of what appears to be a Glock 9mm handgun atop a U.S. history textbook.
The images were among a handful of photos on Loughners MySpace page, where he used the nickname fallenasleep. Loughner, 22, was taken into custody shortly after this mornings shooting spree outside a Tuscon supermarket. According to news reports, Loughner shot Giffords and 11 other victims with a Glock 9mm.

“NYT: .During the fall campaign, Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice-presidential candidate, posted a controversial map on her Facebook page depicting spots where Democrats were running for re-election; those Democrats were noted by crosshairs symbols like those seen through the scope of a gun”
Similar to Craig Kilborn’s infamous “Snipers Wanted” image with George Bush. Huh NYT?
