Meet Eric Fuller: The Left finds a new icon.
Human Events ^ | January 14, 2011 | John Hayward

Posted on 01/15/2011 8:26:37 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

You might be seeing a lot of Eric Fuller over the weekend. He’s one of the people injured in Jared Loughner’s shooting rampage, taking rounds in the knee and back. He’s also a vicious bigot, and because he’s elderly and a military veteran, the Left is going to fall in love with him.

Fuller gave an interview with the Democracy NOW radio show, in which he said of the Tucson shootings: “It looks like Palin, Beck, Sharron Angle, and the rest got their first target.” Presumably he’s not talking about Judge John Roll.

“Their wish for Second Amendment activism has been fulfilled,” Fuller ranted on, “senseless hatred leading to murder, lunatic fringe anarchism, subscribed to by John Boehner, mainstream rebels with vengeance for all, even 9-year-old girls.” I didn’t realize the Second Amendment called for all those things. They must be lurking in one of the penumbras or emanations.

And John Boehner’s part of Murder, Incorporated now? Even by the frothy standards of liberal hatemongering, that’s quite a stretch. At least the fevered minds of the Left can say that Palin, Beck, and Angle are feisty and confrontational. Boehner apparently inspired a murderous rampage by gently taking that gavel from Nancy Pelosi’s hands.

Fuller’s emergence as a beeping smoke detector amid the right-wing haze of the “Climate of Hate” has already drawn praise from Soros operative Eric Bohlert, who issued a Twitter taunt to Michelle Malkin and Andrew Breitbart: “Countdown to smearing wounded veteran from Tucson massacre begins… now.” Gosh, I hope Michelle and Andrew don’t mind if I go first.

Let me make this nice and clear for simple minds: getting shot does not confer either insight or sainthood, and neither does service in the military. I already know people like Bohlert understand the latter, since I don’t think you’ll see a “McCain-Palin” bumper sticker on his car. Every decent American should run like the wind from the creepy notion that certain people are completely above criticism, even when they question the very humanity of others.

Honorable military service is a strong point on any resume… but the military doesn’t stand for suppressing dissent through bloody slander. A lot of the people who think Eric Fuller’s military service make him impossible to disagree with usually have a much more… nuanced view of veterans, and their red-faced insistence on perfect virtue for their icons of the moment is very temporary. Ask Cindy Sheehan to read you the expiration date on her Absolute Moral Authority card.

Anyone who would go on the air to accuse Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Sharron Angle, or John Boehner of having anything to do with Jared Loughner’s actions is a disgrace. Nothing they did earlier in life changes that, and their deeds earlier in life are not erased by their current willingness to become part of the most disgusting political narrative of the new century. It’s all part of the concept of free will, which implies the ability to choose badly, and be held accountable for it… no matter who you are. Despite the urging of fringe characters like Bohlert, the mainstream media might back away from Fuller because he’s such an obvious nut. Then again, certain networks might be unable to resist the temptation to lean forward.

I’d wager Fuller’s also a homo.

Is it coincide that Fuller also dabbles in lucid dreams?

Exactly! Markos Moulitsas (Daily Kos founder), Adolf Hitler, Montel Williams, Lee Harvey Oswald, Senators John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and Congressmen Charles Rangel and John Murtha are/were all veterans.

As was Charles Joseph Whitman, the Austin University Sniper.

Being a Vet is no guaranteed license for sanity or truth.

IF that is true, this is a Reichstag Fire.

But Eric Fuller is no Horst Wessel.

The fag on high! The ranks close tightly!
MSNBC minces with tingles up our legs.
Comrades shot by Rush Limbaugh and Teabaggers
March in spirit within our ranks.

Clear the streets for the brownshirts,
Clear the streets for the SEIU!
Already millions, upon seeing the "O", are filled with hopey-changey
The day of bread and circuses is dawning!

The call has sounded for the last time
Never let a crisis go to waste!
Soon Barack's flags will fly over all streets.
The Constitution will only last a short time more!

The fag on high! The ranks close tightly!
MSNBC minces with tingles up our legs.
Comrades shot by Rush Limbaugh and Teabaggers
March in spirit within our ranks.

Cheers!

Oh, John Boehner is dangerous. He might drown someone with his tears.

Be careful of a passion that a man possesses. They understand the grief which makes them weep.

“Sounds like he got discharged for drinking.”

I think you usually get the big chicken dinner for that.

I am about the same age as this moonbat. I have learned through observation that people like Fuller are often the product of huge amounts of marijuana indulgence probably going back to the sixties.

He'll be off the wagon in a week

This new nutcase must be the luckiest guy in the world. He's wounded by one of his fellow nutcases, is out of the hospital, and six days later is trash-talking the innocent people who are trying to figure this out. He went looking for trouble, and started it. He's lucky he was arrested and sent for a short stay at the funny farm. He might have been lynched, instead. Or at least treated to a good beating.

But he should take advantage of this, and buy every kind of lottery ticket he can lay his hands on. He's already had twice the luck of other people that day.

In defense of Whitman, the doctors found a large brain tumor that they say might have caused him to snap.

My fellow Americans. Let me be clear. There is one, and I mean one, reason that liberals bring up the fact that one of their own is a veteran.

It's to say, "Hypocrite. You say you respect Americas heroes but you don't."

It's the same reason liberals attach someones military service above the fold if that person did something bad. "Loughner was an Afghan vet!!1!1!!...".

It's to say, "This is what your heroes are really like. They're monsters. By supporting them, so are you."

Watch the tone, next time a veteran hits the news. It's the same every time. Smug elation at the idea of snaring 'hypocritical' conservatives, or smug moralizing cloaked in 'legitimate concern'.

He’ll be the toast of the TV Drama Queen circuit when he gets out of stir.

That's a 918 here in Arizona.

Well then you are outnumbered.

He gets the Alan Grayson award for nutty statements, But that's OK, we need Democrats to sound as nutty as possible.

It's been years since I've heard someone say, "big chicken dinner". LOL! Thanks for the nostalgic chuckle.

For the those not familiar with the term, dsc means bad conduct discharge.

This Fuller dude looks and sounds like he is related to Mark Malloy. Both are unhinged moonbats.

1. This guy looks like the 2nd person the cops were looking for after the shooting.

2. He was involved in a heated argument/fight at the Giffords event, just prior to the shooting.

3. The descriptions of his wounds sound more like richochet than direct fire.

4. Is this guy friends with Loughner???

I’m 62 and a Vietnam vet so don’t you dare disagree with anything I have to say, not now, not ever. /s

So this Fuller brushperson either did forty years of alcohol or forty years of pot and we’re supposed to listen to what he has to say because he’s a vet, he took a round, and his views comport with those of Frank Rich and Rachel Maddow?

Screwy, if you ask me.
