A key player in the rush to identify the background of the Arizona shooter Jared Lee Loughner has commented favorably on an article posted about her on Free Republic
Caitie Parker, a former classmate, band-mate, and friend of the Arizona shooter Jared Lee Loughner, was one of the first to out Loughner's leftwing leanings. While the media was in full "blame Palin and the Tea Party" mode, Parker went to Twitter with her now famous "As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal." quote.
Her comments have appeared everywhere from the New York Times to being linked to from the top of the DRUDGE REPORT
The liberal background of Ms. Parker (loathes FOX News and Rush Limbaugh) made her honesty about the shooter's leftwing leanings the subject of the Free Republic article: "The Last Honest Liberal-Caitie Parker" which detailed how she went from initially blaming Palin to becoming a key voice in stopping the myth that the shooter was in any way conservative/Tea Party.
Her own liberal tendencies have not stopped the attacks from fellow liberals incensed that she turned traitor in their eyes by telling the truth about what she knew of the shooters politics. She even commented on how the media seemed to want a "right spin." and became overwhelmed by the nearly 40 media requests for interviews including NPR, Good Morning America, MSNBC, among others.
If you can, please go to her twitter account and send a note of thanks or a "hang in there!" She could really use it.

They have already called her a liar over at DU because...well, because, she didn’t say what they wanted to hear.
My daughter has a FB friend who was friends with the perp on FB. She saw the viewable page before it was taken down. Her friend can no longer access the page. Daughter’s friend had gone to high school with the perp for at least a year. I was not at home on Saturday when all this went down, or I would have looked at the page and reported all I saw. I haven’t ventured out into civilization other than for shopping since this happened. Ironically, when this was all going down, I was at a baseball park watching the future players of the high school attended by the perp. We had no idea who the shooter was at the time. I’m sure those folks are in shock that the shooter lived among them.
mrkd
As I was channel surfing I noticed she was being interviewed on Nightline but I had the sound off so I didn’t hear her comments. (I was rocking out on Youtube)
I just looked at daughter’s friend’s friend list and did not see this kid’s name. Not sure if daughter got the story wrong or not. Now I see how the media gets things wrong all the time. lol
If the account was scrubbed (which it seems to be), I don't think it would show up on friend lists anymore.
You left out 911 truther.
Missed that one-got a link?
You should ask your daughter's friend to see if the page is still in her cache. If so, he/she should be able to display the page. If you need help on how to do this, FReepmail me.
The murderer had a My Space page and not Face Book.
The exploiters are in full swing it would seem.
Oh, am I allowed to use the word ‘swing’.

If a “friend” account is deleted, inactivated, scrubbed by FB, it disappears from your listl; you need email records of nofications..”so and so so has accepted your friends request” etc..
Thanks icwhatudo and Caitie Parker. “dedicated to truth” BUMP!
