Jared Loughner, the Face of Deranged, Murderous Evil A Registered Independent Who Never Voted in 2010

Liberals take a page from the Westboro Baptist songbook
Fred Phelps, the crazy leader of the Westboro Baptist Church cult, has become infamous for blaming any bad event on the evils of Homosexuality. Earthquake in Haiti? Blame the gays. Combat troop deaths in Iraq? Ditto. Phelps' Logic Works thusly: God literally hates people who engage in Homosexual conduct and unless societies take the steps to ban and punish such action, God is going to destroy them. Any Natural Disaster or mass Murder is, accordingly, the will of God being carried out on the "sin...

Jared Loughner release Statement

We wish that there were, so we could make you feel better. We don't understand why this happened. It may not make any difference, but we wish that we could change the heinous events Saturday. We care very deeply about the Victims and their families. We are so very sorry for their loss. Examiner.com is...

Humanity lost: a post in two parts
After Jared Loughner acted out the fantasy that Limbaugh, Palin, Beck, Savage, Angle and so many others had laid out for him, suddenly they utterly disowned him: "He's not one of us! He's a crazy person!" they said, meaning to erase him totally. In so doing, there was, I felt, a certain weird symmetry: disowning him, they disowned everything they had worked so hard to create. As is often the case, calling him a crazy person was meant to deny his humanity, put him entirely outside the calculus ...

How Obama can talk about tolerance without trivializing a tragedy.
For the second time in his tenure, President Obama will eulogize the Victims of a shooting. In November 2009—it now seems another era—he gave a small masterpiece of a Speech in honor of the 13 people killed when Army Maj. Nidal Hasan allegedly opened fire at Fort Hood in Texas. When Obama speaks Wednesday night in Tucson, he will of course memorialize those killed and wounded when Jared Lee Loughner allegedly opened fire. He is at his best telling stories. But Obama will also have to...

Dem Rep. Bob Filner: "We Have Been Threatened"
Rep. Bob Filner (D-Calif.) spoke with CBS News Congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes on Washington Unplugged about political discourse in the wake of the Tucson tragedy which left six dead and 14 others injured, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.). Filner told Cordes that the heated political debates over Health Care, town-hall meetings and the 2010 Midterm Elections increased voter anger. "Like many of us across the country - including Gabby - we had, I'll just lump them together a...

There Is No Evidence That Politics In Any Way Contributed To This Atrocity: Arizonas Biggest Newspaper Rips Leftist Political Op
Arizona Republic: On Saturday afternoon, with his friend Gabby Giffords in surgery fighting for her life, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik railed against the tense partisan politics - “the anger, the hatred, the Bigotry” - that prompted the mass Murders outside Tucson, in his view. And, jarring as such claims may be, we understood. Or tried to understand, despite the spectacle of a lawman - an official whose very job it is to dispassionately gather facts and to...

WikiLeaks demands censorship after Tucson shootings
In a Press Release, Wikileaks has blamed Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, and other Conservatives for the Tucson shootings, and called for them to be prosecuted for “incitement.” It is not clear why Wikileaks thinks people like Huckabee had anything to do with the shootings. Even Sarah Palin has said nothing that would constitute incitement, much less illegal incitement under the U.S. Supreme Court’s governing First Amendment rulings in Hess v. Indiana and Brandenb...

Jared Loughner's Parents Express Sorrow
The parents of Jared Loughner, accused of the Arizona shootings, have released a statement. There are no words that can possibly express how we feel. We wish that there were, so we could make you feel better. We don’t understand why this happened. It may not make any difference, but we wish that we could change the heinous events of Saturday. We care very deeply about the Victims and their families. We are so sorry for their loss.” More former friends of Loughner are coming forwar...

Bill Kristol Compares Paul Krugman to McCarthy
Project much Bill? He said there is no proof that Jared Loughner, the suspect, was a fan of Palin or went to her website, which had labeled Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and other Democrats a political target last year; it was illustrated with a graphic of crosshairs that has triggered a political debate. Federal authorities on Sunday filed Murder charges against Loughner. Kristol said those who are blaming Palin, such as Paul Krugman of The New York Times, are practicing "McCarthyism." "Th...

American Nihilism
For all the hand-wringing over whether the gut-wrenching massacre in Tucson was the result of America's virulent political discourse, the hand-wringing itself quickly became another instance of the virulence, and then the inanity, of American political discourse. First, liberal writers declared that Jared Lee Loughner was the product of right-wing incitement: Sarah Palin shamefully putting cross hairs over liberal congressmen's districts; Michele Bachmann's call to Tea Party legions to be "arm...

Right Wing Hopping Mad Over Culture of Violence They Have Wrought
Right now, the public isn’t ready to believe an argument that Jared Loughner was motivated by right-wing Rhetoric. Fortunately, nobody has said that, because it’s the wrong claim to make. Nobody has claimed that crosshairs on a map or talk of “Second Amendment remedies” is specifically to blame (some on the right have blamed heavy metal music and a skull in his backyard, and that’s just as silly). The main claim is that the toxic stew of noxious rhetoric, particul...

The Don't-Tread-on-Meter: Life after Jared Lee Loughner.
Some events stop the news cycle, freeze politics, and start them both over on a schedule no one can control. The shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and the Murder of six people who were attending a meeting with her in Tucson, was one of those events. Within hours of the news, Republicans had announced that the ongoing debate over the Repeal of the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act would stop, to be picked up again in one week. What else changed for Republicans and Tea Partiers that day?...

Rush Limbaugh: Jarred Loughren Has The Support Of The Democrat Party
Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik continued his attacks on Conservatives by suggesting that he has “no doubt” that “Talk Radio had to do” with the Tucson shooting. Dupnik couldn’t be more wrong, and I suspect his comments are motivated more by a desire to silence political opponents than anything else, but even so Rush Limbaugh isn’t helping his own cause much with comments like these: “What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major...

Bloodshed in Arizona turns spotlight on political landscape of anger and hate
As Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona battles for her life after an Assassination attempt, the nation is trying to grapple with the violent tragedy that took the lives of 6 and wounded 14 people on Saturday morning, casting a dark shadow on the start of this year. On the morning of January 8th, while U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was meeting with constituents at a ‘Congress on Your Corner’ event at a local shopping center in Tuscon, a gunman opened fire on the gat...

Not every insane act by a "Lone Wolf" is a political event. A tragedy to be sure, but in this case even if Jared Lee Loughner thought he was making a political statement, it was not a political event. It is an insane event. Yet the MSM insists on making it a political event. View your shopping cart....

INDEED: The mainstream media sunk to new lows in its collective coverage of the Jan. 8 Tucson sho
INDEED: The Mainstream Media sunk to new lows in its collective coverage of the Jan. 8 Tucson shooting tragedy. Selective media members may start backpedaling on their outrageous claims that a heady mix of Talk Radio and that rootin’ tootin’ Sarah Palin were to blame for the tragedy. That doesn’t dismiss their dereliction of duty. The media’s ghastly performance may also be a window into how it will cover the 2012 presidential Elections. Any attempt at criticizing President Barack

Media Matters Boehlert Links Tucson Shooting to Rush, Fox News and Breitbart
Behold, the logic of the left: "No one is saying that they are responsible for what happened in Arizona, but they appear to have no regrets whatsoever in terms of what they have done to the political discourse in this country." For the record, the oblique reference Mr. Boehlert made can be seen here in context. The analogy refers to President Obama's seeming willingness to allow Democratic Congressman to lose re-election for the sake of getting his Health Care Legislation passed. (A pr...

The Consequences of Inflamed Rhetoric
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about what happened in Arizona over the weekend.  In case you’ve managed to avoid the news for the past few days, though, Rep. Gabrielle “Gabby” Giffords (D-Arizona), U.S. District Judge John Roll, and eighteen others were shot by a lone gunman at a “Congress on your Corner” event held by Rep. Giffords.
