Citing no evidence that the Arizona shooter had ever heard of Sharron Angle of Nevada or her remarks about Second Amdendment remedies, a top Dem leader has nevertheless tied the shootings to Angle's statement.

Rep. James Clyburn, third in the House Dem leadership, made his allegation on Fox News Sunday today. He began with a general statment, then made a specific accusation.

JAMES CLYBURN: I think that what is happened here is that the vitriol has gotten so elevated until people feel emboldened by this. And people who are a little less than stable, and people aren't thinking for themselves are so easily influenced, they go out and do things that all of us pay a great price for.

Brett Baier, subbing for Chris Wallace, then read to Clyburn a statement from Tea Party leader Judson Phillips predicting that the left would blame the shootings on the Tea Party movement. That didn't deter Clyburn, who proceeded to tie the shootings directly to Sharron Angle.

What is funny to me is the fact that Liberals are by nature a little off.

They have no belief system outside of Utopian Government, they have no desire to base their opinions on facts, they are less than generous with their time and money than Conservatives are and they vote for other Liberals which proves they obviously have a deep seated psychosis.
