That’s another thing, how did that Sate Senator know or think that he was a vet, if he didn’t even really make it that far. Who gave that tip or rumor to Senator about this guy?

Sounds like a set up to me.

Who knows... Immediately after the shooting, Loughner's "clean-cut white male" description hit the web. Someone probably thought, "He must be a vet" and ran with it and others picked it up as fact.

There was so much misinformation hitting the interwebs in the hours following the shooting. I was watching Fox News when Shep gave the shooter's misspelled name and moments later Jared "Laughner" had several bogus Facebook profiles already established where he was everything from a gay pedophile to a diehard Sarah Palin supporter.

Misinformation at the speed of light these days.
