"The Communist Manifesto" and Hitler's "Mein Kampf" were among the favorite reading materials of Jared Lee Loughner, the suspected gunmen in today's fatal shooting that reportedly left six dead and gravely injured a U.S. congresswoman.

Lougher, 22, listed those tomes among his favorites on his YouTube channel, in which he wrote that "conscience dreams" were a "great study" at his college, Pima Community College.

One user on Twitter, Caitie Parker, wrote she went to high school, college and was in a band with the gunman. She said she hadn't seen him since 2007.

Parker wrote of Lougher, "As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal and oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy."

She also described him as "more left."

Lougher also left a trail of bold political statements.

From Jared Loughner’s FaceBook page:

Sex Male
Interested In Men

He's a lefty gayboy. Not a soldier. Not Tea Party member. Not a Conservative. He's not anything they're trying to blame on us normal folks. Did Obama put him up to it? (Hey, if the MSM can throw lies and rumors out there why can't we?)

Neither have I ever heard of a Christian conservative abortion doctor.

Things that make you go "hmmmmmmmmmmm".
