Its Sarah Palins Fault! Will it stick?

Nonsensical Attempt to Tie Loughner to Conservatives Is Deliberate Strategy
To the extent Jared Loughner's psychotic views have any political coherence, they are decidedly Left Wing. Yet liberals have raised a deafening chorus attempting to blame Conservatives for the incomprehensible horrors he inflicted. This may be a reflexive reaction by truly unhinged moonbats like Hanoi Jane Fonda and Clarence Dupnik, who can be counted on to blame their ideological opponents for any and all misfortunes. But for others, it is part of a deliberate political strategy. Timothy McVeig...

Russ Belville: Arizona Shooter Loughner Used Marijuana... So What?
As you may know by now, in a tragic act of insane violence, Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords was targeted for Assassination, but survived the point-blank gunshot allegedly fired by Jared Lee Loughner, a 22-year-old man whose rambling Internet paranoia calls his sanity into question.  Loughner also allegedly fired into the crowd, killing a 9-year-old girl (born on 9/11/2001, incidentally), a federal Circuit Court judge, a Giffords Staffer, and three others, and wounding several more.  All of us at...

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 ...

It's not Sarah Palin's Fault
Are we to now cleanse the language of all references to Firearms and their use, “lock, stock and barrel”? Should we “take aim” at all such word usage? Should we “keep our powder dry” to be ready for the next whacko’s atrocity?  Should we "set our sights" on passing the ridiculous proposed Legislation being introduced in Congress to outlaw the using of certain words when discussing members of that body?  Another terrible episode of violence...

No Credibility, No Class-The Giffords Shooting and the American Left
Back in November 2010, in the wake of the massive defeat suffered by Democrats in the Midterm Elections, former Bill Clinton pollster Mark Penn said this: Mark Penn:  “Barack Obama needs an Oklahoma City bombing-type event to reconnect with the American People.” Hmmm. Now look at how quickly Progressives and their compatriots in the Mainstream Media jumped to blame Conservatives for the shooting in Arizona that left six people dead and several others wounded, including

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...

True Face of Progressivism Exposed in a Tragedys Aftermath.
There is no proof yet that Christianne Amanpour is a child molester. Let that sink in for a second. Outrageous, right? Especially when simply said out of the blue like that. Yet that is how the media is treating the insanity of the left-wing progressive charge that Conservatives, Sarah Palin and the Tea Party are somehow responsible for the actions of a man who had been obsessed with his target since 2007, more than two years before the Tea Party was in existence. Amanpour, on her low-rated â€..

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 ...

He Was Angry About Healthcare
Ex-Sen. Bob Kerrey on Imus: “Tomorrow they were going to vote to Repeal this Health Care bill — and it’s not going to go anywhere in the Senate — it’s one of the reasons that this guy was angry and pretty obvious that he is, at least from me, where I sit that he’s mentally ill and deeply troubled.” Tomorrow is also 1/11/11 and there is just as much evidence that Loughner was angry about that, and perhaps even more reason to think it. How fortunate that B...

Paul Krugmans Libel Against Conservatives: Its All About Forcing A Return Of The Fairness Doctrine To The Media
Left-wing New York Times columnist and Economist Paul Krugman is exploiting the tragic shooting in Arizona Saturday, which claimed six lives, including the lives of a federal District Court judge and a 9 year-old girl, and which critically wounded Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. In a disgraceful op-ed column today entitled “Climate of Hate,” Krugman pinned the blame for the shooting on the Right. Krugman’s discredited spend-and-borrow economics are bad enough. But h

Difference of opinion is what makes the world go round
Posted by Guest Blogger Locutisprime. According to the Pima County sheriff, differences of opinion are what makes the world go round. Except of course when your opinion differs from his or other Liberal Democrats or the political talking points and politicians that he and they support. I have to agree. There are consequences to 'this type of behavior.' Of course, the type of behavior that this sheriff is alluding to, is any behavior (specifically Speech) that is contrary to the best wish...

Massacre, Made in America
Truthseeker, have you ever seen a website run by a Democrat that is ripe with incendiary "don't retreat -- reload!" Rhetoric while displaying a national map peppered with gun-sight crosshairs and shooting targets hovering over the districts governed by their opponents? Giffords was a literal target of Sarah Palin and the Teabaggers and she knew it, as Giffords herself remarked on MSNBC before the last election, "We're on Sarah Palin's 'targeted' list, but the thing is, the way she has it depic...

Megyn Kelly Takes On Political Hack Sheriff Dupnik Over His Political Spin Agenda On jared Loughner Shooting
Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik criticizes other of hate and vitriol and then does it himself … There is nothing more sick and pathetic, than to take advantage and trying to play politics with a terrible tragic event like a Mass Shooting with multiple Deaths. However, that did not stop Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik who, without any evidence, accused other for the gunman’s actions. SICK! However, Fox News Megyn Kelly took on the liberal biased Sheriff Dupnik on his comment...

Get your story straight, MEPS.
I'll have more to say about the tragedy in Tuscon that killed a 10 year-old girl, a Federal Judge, several others, and critically wounded U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ-8) over the weekend. But in the mean time I think DoD needs to figure out which story they are going with. This: In one of a handful of anti-religious, anti-government videos on Loughner's YouTube page, he says "every United States Military recruit at MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) in Phoenix is rece...

Left-Wing Blame Game Wont Work With Arizona Tragedy
It’s no longer 1995, Carol Platt Liebau reminds the left: First, now there is Fox News and the conservative blogosphere, neither of which existed in April of 1995. They enable the widespread dissemination of information rebutting efforts to equate Loughner with garden-variety Conservatives or Tea Partiers - or blame his acts on the statements of public figures. For example, when left-wing Bloggers invoked a bulls-eye graphic that had appeared on a year-old campaign map from Sarah Palin...

The Politics of Assassination
On Saturday morning, the Nation took a collective gasp as it was reported that an attempted Assassination had taken place in Tuscan, Arizona.  The target, Democrat Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot by a lone gunman.  The Congresswoman survived, miraculously, because the bullet which entered her brain passed through completely and did not enter the other lobe.  As the gunman, 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner, tried to reload his weapon a woman rose and hit the gun and clip fr...

Absolutely Everyone Thought This Kid Was Going On a Shooting Spree
The old cliche when a young man does a shooting ramapage is that nobody saw it coming. Nobody thought the kid they knew could do such a thing. Not the case with Jared Loughner. “Oh, finally. Was wondering when he was going to shoot a bunch of people.”—This is what the people who knew this kid the past few years are saying. But while this concerned some people, Arizona was never going to try to help him or anything. Personal responsibility! Fix your own Mental Health! Pew pew pe...

Jared Lee Loughner: what is known about Tucson, Arizona, shooting suspect
Jared Lee Loughner is refusing to tell investigators anything about a motive for the Tucson, Arizona, shooting, but he appears to be a familiar character in American life: a disturbed outsider with a gun....

Fidel Castro Has an Opinion on the Arizona Shooting
Photo: Sven Creutzmann/Mambo Photo/Getty Images In a column entitled "An Atrocious Act," Cuba's former leader offered his take on Saturday's shooting. Castro condemned accused gunman Jared Lee Loughner's actions, writing: "Even those of us who don't share his (President Barack Obama's) political or philosophical ideas in the least sincerely hope that no Children, judges, congressmen or any U.S. citizen should die in such an absurd and unjustifiable way." But he also took the opportunity to tak...

Arizona's Eighth Congressional District Epitomized Over-The-Top Demonization Of Liberals
While it is critical to understand that Jared Loughner's Terrorist Attack on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and dozens of her constituents over the weekend was not directly caused by the words of her political opponents, the tragedy in Arizona presents an opportunity to examine the nature of our political discourse. Giffords' district, the Arizona Eighth, is a prime example of overheated Rhetoric. Her 2010 campaign was plagued by Vandalism and death threats from anonymous citizens, as well as hyperbol...

FLASHBACK: Do you remember the Halloween display Leftists put up in 2008 showing Governor Sarah Palin hanged from a rooftop?
Drudge Report yanked this story from the Memory Hole…where Leftists in California put up a “Halloween display” depicting Governor Sarah Palin hanging from a roof, execution style, her hands tied behind her back. I’ve told you repeatedly about a bar here in Boystown named Sidetrack (which actually happens to be one of the best Gay Bars in the world).  Its owners are great guys 95% of the time, but have a weird and twisted obsession against Governor Palin that also man...

Jared Loughner, Portrait of the Tuscon Safeway Shooter (ContributorNetwork)
The portrait of Jared Loughner, the accused Tucson Safeway Massacre shooter, is taking shape. Loughner, contrary to some pronouncements on and off the Internet, was not a right-wing, Tea Party acolyte of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck. But interviews with former friends and acquaintances paint a portrait of a man with " ... nihilistic, almost indecipherable beliefs steeped in mistrust and paranoia," according to the AP. YouTube videos and his MySpace page contain rantings about the currency, poor ...

Loughner Explanation Watch: Bad Metal Music
Over at Salon, the headline for a Sarah Hepola essays says that the early 90s grim metal song "Bodies" by Drowning Pool had its "encore" in Jared Loughner's Murder spree, because he seems to have liked the song--his "favorite" YouTube video being one that featured the tune, which because of its grinding unpleasantness has also been used by The Army to Torture and unnerve people. The tune has, you see, "a troubled past," that is to say, that various people who the author seems to disapprove of h...

Jared Loughner: A Character Sketch Emerges
​Just two days after Jared Lee Loughner fired at least 31 shots in front of an Arizona Grocery Store, killing six, including Federal Judge John Roll, while attempting to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a frightening, if scattered portrait has already formed via the media of a disturbed young man turned murderous. Loughner's largely incoherent political beliefs -- including a penchant for Hitler, The Communist Manifesto and Plato -- were described on social network profiles like MySp...
