NYT: “….During the fall campaign, Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice-presidential candidate, posted a controversial map on her Facebook page depicting spots where Democrats were running for re-election; those Democrats were noted by crosshairs symbols like those seen through the scope of a gun. Ms. Giffords was among those on Ms. Palin’s map….”

--Stop this tea party madness. One civil war in our land is quite enough.
--Well, the shooter is a "real american" (as Palin would call him), not a mexican or muslim. My prayers to her family.
--Glenn Beck has spent the better part of the last two years inciting violence and hatred. This is what all of that has come to. Take that man off the air, now.
--How terrible. Such violence is an unfortunate reflection on our uncivil political scene and inadequate gun control laws, and a tragedy for all the victims.
--Terrible, sad and scary news, but not unexpected given the climate of hate since the election of Barack “Hussein” Obama, like the fringe and some irresponsible politicians like to call him. The state of Arizona seems to get crazier by the day. And it’s no surprise that the Tea Partiers and their ilk are so fond of Arizona because it’s at the forefront of many of their battles. Hopefully this is not the way the rest of the U.S. is going. Scary indeed.
Assuming that these shooting was politically motivated (wouldn’t it be a terror attack or is that term only applied to Muslim extremists?): this is a huge warning sign for the President and his security staff (“be afraid as we might be coming for you next”). And the ideological culprits can most likely be found in talk radio, and a certain cable news organization....

TUSCON, Ariz ( KTLA) — Jared Lee Loughner, the alleged Tucson gunman, was described Saturday as a politically radical loner. Now an internet trail emerged in which he apparently railed against the US government and told friends: “Please don’t be mad at me”.
There are unconfirmed reports that 22 year old Jared Lee Loughner once met with Rep. Giffords in 2007. A former high school friend said that he had often talked about meeting and talking with the congresswoman.
Arizona court records show Loughner has twice been charged with previous offenses. The first, in October 2007, related to the possession of drug paraphernalia. It was unclear what the second, a year later, related to. Both charges were dismissed after Loughner completed a “diversion program”.
People who knew him described him as philosophical, a person who read a lot of books. On his YouTube page, Loughner listed among his favorite books “The Communist Manifesto,” “Siddhartha,” “The Old Man And The Sea,” “Gulliver’s Travels,” “Mein Kampf,” “The Republic” and “Meno.”
One former high school friend Tweeted about knowing the accused gunman:
“He was a pot head and into rock, like Hendrix, The Doors, Anti-Flag,” she wrote. “I haven’t seen him in person since 2007 in a sign language class. As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal and oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy. He had a lot of friends until he got alcohol poisoning in 2006 and dropped out of school. Mainly a loner, very philosophical.”

Instead of a massive slaughter of innocent Americans, they are wringing ever ounce of political capital out of this murder in Tuscon. They will exploit every crisis to achiever their objective. In this case, they are trying to make the people think the Tea Party is the instigator of all violence in the country.
There is a good example somewhere here. I will have to look for it. This came up months ago and I need to find that example.
What gets me, is that all the violent threats lately were made by left-wing people! They’ve been making threats for violent overthrow of the government, and violent revolution.. Then there’s that nice old friend of Obama’s, that Bill Ayers and his wife. Bill Ayers and his left-wing bride, and their left-wing friends bombed up Wash. D.C. years ago. As recently as early in the beginning of the 2000s, he said he’d do it again! These are the people who our President associated and still does!

““In conclusion, reading the second United States Constitution, I can’t trust the current government because of the ratifications: The government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar. No! I won’t pay debt with a currency that’s not backed by gold and silver! No! I won’t trust in God!” it says.”
This is ‘4 minutes with Frank Chu’ gone terribly, terribly wrong.
Hate or love speech is protected in the bill of rights!
WE conservatives had nothing to do with this, it was a left wing nut, but even if it was a right wing nut, they can't take our free speech away! Hate speech and love speech is protected!
Another thing that is really getting sickening is the blacks don't like being called the “N”WORD. Poor babies, grow up, there is nothing that anyone could call me to get me upset like they get! They are not second class citizens but they act like it, it's time they grow up, they haven't been slaves for 149 years!
Again if you let words people say bother you, you are slaves to your own minds,
"Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but Words can never hurt me"
We are not going to shut up about what we believe, Sheriff, whether, you like it or not, and the people who are going to do criminal acts from what anyone says, is the problem!
Public hanging would stop these shooters! Making reading the Bible mandatory in grades 1 through 12 would also help
exactly... remember 828.. Beck asked for no signs, no costumes, none of that and look at how huge the turnout was and how respectful
Found this at Sarah Palin Site
Thank you.
They bit the big weenie when they started this crap... what they have done is to have opened themselves up for total sunshine to illuminate and enlighten America... as to how evil and putrid the left truly is... and they have killed net neutrality... because it is THEY that are the problem... it is THEY that are killers and assassins... and history is replete with the fact that 99% of murdering dictator monsters and their movements... along with assassins and murderers... have been rabid leftists.

Thanks for the ping. We should compare how liberal papers cover for this guy. Ways they would NOT cover if this had been a liberal.
So far - - LIBERAL LIE tactics are:
Conservatives are just as bad - one MIGHT have smashed a window after an ObamaCare vote.
He’s a pot smoker - drugs made him do it.
He’s mentally ill.
He’s a closet conservative - once made a conservative comment when he was in third grade.
He drinks ice tea - might be a member of ‘tea party’....
Sarah Palin made him do it...
Any others? Anyone?
If they even think about this, it will cause violence 10 times worse.
Maybe that’s exactly what they want.
Yep..All part of their plan.
These people think Beck and the TeaPartiers are racist, hateful, violence-mongers. This shooting just gives them a real event to fit into their pre-disposed idea.
Has nothing to do with logic, reason, evidence, etc.
Just shows how ignorant these lefties are - they just swallow the opinion-hawking of the media.
That’s what the Nazi’s did with the Jews. Blamed them for violence they didn’t commit.
