WASHINGTON -- Rep. Jim Clyburn on Sunday said Sharron Angle's endorsement of "Second Amendment remedies" in her losing Nevada campaign against Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid contributed to the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Clyburn, the House assistant Democratic leader, said of Giffords' alleged assailant, Jared Lee Loughner: "It seems like this gentleman was not satisfied with the way the election came out. "There's no way you cannot make that connection (with Angle's rhetoric) unless you want to be stupid."

Support Free Republic in building a strong Conservative Foundation

There they go with that middle name thing again. Do ALL assassins get special middle name privileges?

(Sorry, I’m just so disgusted with the MSM, Lib, Commie rhetoric that I’m getting snarky)

Squeaky “Dogtoy” Fromme?

[ReneeLynn]

Okay, is it Sarah Palin’s fault or Michelle Bachmann’s or Rush Limbaugh’s or Glenn Beck’s or Sharron Angle...? When do they get back to blaming George Bush? For the love of pete! What about the Republican that was killed? Didn’t he count?

Squeaky “Wheel” Froome always gets the grease.

I got a million of em...

I tell you what, the lawyers for the defense are going to have quite a witness pool to call from. I can see a ton of subpoenas going out. I wonder if Pima county is going to have the money to hold this case?

When dealing with the lunatic Libtards, don't confuse Compassion with their Agenda.

[Huntress]

I would have expected his name to be Jared Wayne Loughner.

[chemicalman]

I sure hope the fresh meat Republicans that are now in office demand that Clyburn apologize. I demand one.

[ReneeLynn]

Oh, I don’t. I was over at Sarah Palin’s discussion page at Facebook and the moonbats are flying high. So many concern trolls.

Can’t wait to hear Rush tomorrow.

Keep on talkin', jerks, just keep on talkin'.

If enough sane people haven't bolted from the Left yet . . . just keep on talkin'.

[Viking2002]

No, we don't count. Nor does the fact that the gunman was a loose screw lib leaner with a tinfoil hat. But a requisite of liberalism is to rewrite reality on the fly if it doesn't fit what they want to see outside of their eyelids.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

No, we don't count. Nor does the fact that the gunman was a loose screw lib leaner with a tinfoil hat.

... and an unhealthy infatuation for the congresswoman.

Rep Clyburn makes a fool of himself. Again!

Since the FBI found evidence that Loughner planned this in 2007 how could he know what the outcome of the election was.

The Road to Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions

[American Constitutionalist]

One thing that the LORD Jesus Christ has to say to the hypocritical Liberals, the left, Main Stream Media , the Democrats .

Luke 6:42

Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

[American Constitutionalist]

Of course, when these foolhardy liberals, main stream media, democrats discover after all the facts are in that they were wrong in all their rhetoric, will they go on national TV and to the nation and apologize to the right ? the right wing talk radio ?

I give it a 90% chance this idiot will be on PMSNBC tomorrow morning telling the audience of “Morning Joe” the same things.

They will be out in force to build the narrative for the upcoming news cycle. What’s hysterical is how this shooter, or what he did has NOTHING AT ALL to do with the right, Tea Party, or anyone else associated with Conservatives. This was all really about him being straight up batshit crazy. The Left is just projecting their feelings into all of this to create something that doesn’t even exist!(just like man made global warming)

What disgusts me is how I think the public at large will swallow the narrative hook, line, and sinker. I’d bet the farm that tomorrow morning, the sheeple at the office where I work will speak of this guy as if he were a member of the Rea Party. This is nothing more than a 2011 ‘Reichstag Fire’.
