Giffords shooting leads nation to introspection and political finger wagging
In the wake of the shooting in Arizona this weekend that critically injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and that killed and injured more than 20 people, many pundits and politicians are pointing fingers. Others are hoping the incident will serve to ratchet down rancor. Yet emerging details make it clear the shooter wasn’t primarily motivated by politics, right or left. Jared Lee Loughner seems mainly to have been struggling with Mental Illness and was angry at being thrown out of Pima Communi...

Arizona Massacre Prompts Political 'Cheap Shots'
When Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords collapsed outside the Safeway in Tucson Saturday morning, felled by a hail of bullets that killed six and wounded another 13 innocent people that had come to see her, some were quick to claim that the carnage was the product not merely of the tortured mind and trigger-happy fingers of the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner. Rather, many on the American Left said the horror could be traced to the malign influence of American Conservatives; members...

"Fox & Friends" Now Scapegoating Sheriff Clarence Dupnik?
After having interviewed, Pima County Sheriff, Clarence Dupnik, Brian Kilmeade hosted an interview with FOX fave Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeau, who makes frequent appearances, on Fox, to complain about how the Obama administration is being negligent with regard to the border. It appears that the Right Wing isn't happy about Dupnik's commentary about the "vitriol" in Arizona and Babeau's appearance could be part of some "damage control" on the part of FOX to deny what is, clearly, a harsh reality o...

CLARICE FELDMAN: Pima County Sheriff Dupnik has been making a fool of himself charging on no evidence that heated Rhetoric was behind the madman’s shooting rampage in Tucson. But Cholla, a blogger with an impressive background in the Navy and journalism, reports that sources inside the Department who have seen original police reports have told him that Dupnik’s own office dropped the ball on L...

U.S. cites evidence of assassination plot
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Piece by piece, details of the weekend rampage in Tucson are beginning to emerge: The heartbreaking tales of people slain on a sun-splashed morning, the courage of those who overpowered the gunman and the state of mind of the suspect, a young man who the authorities say had plotted for weeks, and perhaps longer, to assassinate a member of Congress. As the full scope of the tragedy sank in Sunday, it also had rekindled a national conversation, sparked by the outspoken sheriff of...

Could Anything Have Stopped Loughner?
The shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the killing of six and wounding of 13 others in Tucson is one of those American tragedies that threatens to be interpreted according to what one wants to believe. The shootings will be argued over and debated as more information comes forward, but what seems unavoidable is that the shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, was a nutbar through and through, and there was no way he could have been deterred. Arizona’s curious (to Canadians) Gun Laws that ...

Zandar's Thought Of The Day
We saw the same phenomenon following the Oklahoma City bombing and the Holocaust museum shooting when MSNBC hosts and liberal pundits blamed the incidents on radio Talk Show hosts. These exercises in blame-mongering inevitably run aground when inconvenient details muddle the "talk show hosts did it" mantra (e.g. Did radio Talk Show hosts tell the Holocaust museum shooter to target the conservative Weekly Standard offices?) The same is true in this incident. You can almost hear the disappointment...

What Riverdaughter said
There seem to be two major camps regarding this tragedy: Sarah Palin is a monster and the Tea Partiers must be blamed. Or, Sarah Palin is the scapegoat and her picture had nothing to do with this tragic incident. I prefer the third way. .... In the past 18 years, starting with the advent of Rush Limbaugh, we saw a ratcheting up of Right Wing Extremism. ...

Massacre in Tucson A Sad Day for America: Salzburger Nachrichten, Austria
How responsible is right-wing Rhetoric for the Assassination attempt against Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords? According to columnist Thomas Spang of Austria’s Salzburger Nachrichten, where to pin the blame couldn’t be clearer. For the Salzburger Nachrichten, Thomas Spang writes in part: For months, the political right has been turning up the heat in the United States. In this poisoned atmosphere, a young man reaches for his gun. In the political discourse of the United ...

Lessons from the tragedy in Tucson

Gabrielle Giffords has shocked our nation's Capital and gripped the entire country.  What , if anything, can or should be learned from this horrific event?

Monday, January 10, 2011 By Terence P. Jeffrey Arizona's Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik (AP Photo) (CNSNews.com) - Arizona’s Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, who on Saturday suggested radio and television Talk Shows were somehow responsible for inciting a man who may be mentally disturbed to kill six people and wound 13 others, including Rep.

Sheriff Suspects He Had Help
In case you weren't watching earlier this evening, the main development from this evening's Press Conference by Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik was Dupnik's suggestion that his office is not convinced Loughner acted alone.

Sheriff: Suspicious package at Giffords HQ
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — An Arizona sheriff says authorities are investigating a Suspicious Package sent to the headquarters of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was wounded in a shooting rampage.

Arizona sheriff sees others like Loughner
Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik sounds worried about the possibility of other attacks on elected officials like Gabrielle Giffords. Not that he’s got evidence of another shooter or anything. But Dupnik says there are thousands of people like Jared Lee Loughner, the shooting suspect described as a mentally disturbed loner. “These people are very susceptible to emotions like anger and paranoia and so forth, and I think that the tone of Rhetoric that has occurred in this country ove...

The shootings in Tucson and Tea Party Derangement Syndrome
Scarcely an hour had elapsed following the senseless, tragic shootings in Tucson on Saturday before liberal commentators were providing in-depth analyses of the then-yet-to-be-named gunman’s motives. The drumbeat was as predictable as it was familiar. It was the Tea Party’s fault as well as that of its nominative leader Sarah Palin. You don't have to believe that alleged shooter, Jared Loughner, is a card-carrying Tea Party member (he evidently is not) to see some kind of connection ...

Is al Qaeda the Greater Assassination Threat?
I'm with Joe in thinking that the tragic Tucson shootings are being over-politicized, and likewise Jon Chait has wise words on the subject. (I think Jon understates the influence that inflammatory Rhetoric can have on the mentally unstable, but then I'm no psychologist.) That said, the most explicit political talk of things like "Second Amendment remedies" is wildly irresponsible and hopefully this tragedy can serve as an opportunity to stamp out that sort of conversation, whether or not there's...
