I have not read the article, but did they mention how he had been planning this since 2007..now correct me if I’m wrong but the Tea Party, they didn’t exist in 2007 did they..so there goes the “Tea party caused this to happen” BS out the window
Wait a minute, just knowing that GWBush would make things so bad that the US would elect a black man and that THAT would cause the TP to spring up from nowhere...see? It’s STILL GW’s fault.
For my money, this started back in Dec. 1998 when Alec Baldwin told Conan O’Brien:
“if we were in another country... we would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families, for what they’re doing to this country.”

They are still lying. This is going to be their cover for the real truth.
And they will have to drop the Palin and the Tea Party rhetoric.
The left just blew themselves up with this latest stunt.
A real psychotic would have saved the last bullet for himself.
"On January 8, 2011, a search warrant was executed at 7741 N. Soledad Avenue in Tucson, Arizona, where LOUGHNER resides. Some of the evidence seized from that location included a letter in a safe, addressed to “Mr. Jared Loughney” at 7741 N. Soledad Avenue, from Congresswoman Giffords, on Congressional stationary, dated August 30, 2007, thanking him for attending a “Congress on your Corner” event at the Foothills Mall in Tucson. Also recovered in the safe was an envelope with handwriting on the envelope stating “I planned ahead,” and “My assassination” and the name “Giffords,” along with what appears to be LOUGHNER’s signature."
Is Suspected..???For God's sake he was seen doing it and caught in the act. Can't these media idiots ever get over their addiction to political correctness???
Gabriel Zimmerman
John M. Roll
Along with the young girl Christina Green, this is the only time I have seen the names of any of the deceased. My prayers to them and their families and all of the other victims.
They say “suspected” because they are still hoping (I’d add praying, but leftists only talk about doing that) against hope that there is still an accomplice out there who is a member of the Tea Party.
from his rantings on you-tube/writings, he had a problem with not spelling correctly.
Loughner-Loughney
Except that "evidence of a plot" reads to the intended audience like a conspiracy was involved and not lone loon planning his hit since 2007 and well before either Palin or Tea Parties were in the public eye.
So the initial reports are true, he was mad at her for not being the Lib he thought she was.
OMG!
That is EXACTLY what Whorealdo is GOING to say!
and he most likely will! LOL!
There's a ill wind blowing and these media clowns have started to feel it. The left just set themselves up the bomb and exposed the charlatans.
