Gabrielle Giffords: The main suspect in the Arizona massacre has links to a fanatical pro-white magazine. Fox News claimed it had seen a Department of Homeland Security memo which said Jared Lee Loughner, 22, had ties to American Renaissance, which is staunchly anti-immigration, anti-government and anti-Semitic. Arizona Republican Gabrielle Giffords, the target of the mass killing, is ‘the first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government.

After Shootings, Obama to Deliver Speech on Tolerance
Obama is likely to deliver a Speech about tolerance, a theme that could also be featured in his State of the Union address on Jan. 25. However, with liberals and Conservatives assuming their assigned battle stations over whether Gun Laws and partisan Rhetoric are to blame, the White House is Undecided about the exact message the president will send. It is not clear whether ideology motivated the alleged shooter, Jared Loughner, and Obama's advisers may conclude it unwise for the president to lec...
Sherriff Clarence RIGHT WING VITRIOL Dupnik mightve shit the mattress
Here’s the lead investigator for the Gabrielle Giffords shooting, Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, describing what he thinks caused the shooting. ‘When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government,’ Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik told a news conference. ‘The anger, the hatred, the Bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. ‘And, unfortunately, Arizona ...
No Signs Obama Will Shift On Gun Control After Giffords Shooting
Virtually since the Obama Administration took office, the White House has avoided touching the third-rail issue of Gun Control with a 10-foot pole. So will the mass shooting in Arizona that gravely injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and killed six others (including a Federal Judge) change their approach?
Gun control advocates hope so. Kristen Rand, legislative director of the Violence Policy Center in Washington, D.C., said in an interview that banning the high-capacity clips (the type use...
Outlaw that speech because it MIGHT be a threat...
It was only a matter of time before the Gabrielle Giffords tragedy was turned into a rationale for the government to take more of our freedoms. This is how our government always responds to tragedy--it's almost formulaic: Step 1 - wait for tragedy to occur, or actually create the tragedy. Step 3 - pass laws, or institute policies, that take away people's freedoms. This same process, has led to the creation of most traffic laws, to the Patriot Act, to "enhanced pat-downs," and countless other usu...

Nation gets first look at suspect, Tucson grieves
A woman prays at the memorial located in front of the University Medical Center, Monday, Jan. 10, 2011, in Tucson, Ariz. The memorial has been set up for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., who is in critical condition at the Hospital, and other Victims who were shot on Saturday, leaving six dead and more injured. When Jared Loughner walked into the courtroom, everything fell silent. Law clerks, courtroom artists and reporters alike turned from the wooden benches to look at the vacant-e...
Culture and Conditioning
Remarkably, some rightie Bloggers are still trying to peg Jared Loughner as a “Left Wing radical.” This is true even as News Media are doing their best to argue that only those nutty lefties are claiming politics had anything to do with the shooting in Tuscon. Chris Cillizza:
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, liberals sought to paint Loughner as an anti-government, Tea Party conservative. Conservatives retorted that Loughner lacked anything close to a coherent political p...
Chatty Huffington Escorted Off Jet by Authorities
Lefty newshound Arianna Huffington was a bit too liberal -- with her BlackBerry use -- aboard a commercial jet to La Guardia over the weekend, authorities say. Huffington, 60 -- a noted author and columnist who runs the online Huffington Post -- was about to take off from Dulles Airport in Washington, DC, when she defied the United Airlines captain's command for passengers to turn off their electronic devices, prompting an angry man to get up from his seat in Protest of her continued chatting an...
Dr. Harold Koplewicz: Arizona Shooting: Treating Mental Illness Before it Kills
In the Mass Shooting in Arizona Saturday there were heroes who prevented even more bloodshed. We need heroes to intervene before lives are lost.
The three people who wrestled Jared Loughner to the ground and disarmed him outside a Supermarket in Tucson are being hailed as heroes, and rightly so. They prevented further loss of life at the hands of the 22-year-old, who had, in little more than an instant, killed six people and wounded more than a dozen others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords....
The Note: 2012 Politics Gets Tangled In Arizona Shooting Aftermath
By MICHAEL FALCONE and AMY WALTER
The place that Sarah Palin has occupied in the debate about civility in politics in the aftermath of Saturday’s shooting in Arizona that left six people dead has inevitably dragged other potential 2012 contenders into the discussion.
One of the first to join the fray is former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, whose long-planned book tour kicks off this week. Pawlenty weighed in on the swirling Controversy about the appropriateness of Palin’s use of rifle cro...
Eric Fuller, Arizona Victim, Describes Shooting (VIDEO)
NEW YORK — One of the survivors of Saturday's Shooting Spree in Arizona says "it was like a bad crime drama."
Eric Fuller said Tuesday on the CBS "The Early Show" that he felt the bullet that hit his knee but didn't know he had also been hit in the back.
He says he didn't know how to react and felt the Victims "were in for more."

It's On: Pawlenty Jabs Palin Over 'Crosshairs'
Possible Republican presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty took a jab at Sarah Palin, saying he wouldn't have used gun crosshairs to target Rep Gabrielle Giffords and others. "I wouldn't have done it," the former Minnesota Governor told The New York Times on Monday when asked if he would have created a map like the one posted last year on Sarah PAC's website showing crosshairs on lawmakers who supported Health Care reform.

Can the Hate Be Stopped?: Tucson Struggles to Come to Terms with Slayings
Tucson, Arizona, has become a symbol of fanatacism following the Assassination attempt on a member of Congress. The city, with its deep political divisions, is struggling to cope with the attack. President Obama is hoping to foster Reconciliation during a visit on Wednesday.

Apparently, The Real Culprit In The Giffords Shooting Was..Guns!
Now that we are a few days from the shooting of Representative Giffords, and the cold blooded Murder of many others, including a judge and a 9 year old, the media and Democrats are slowly ratcheting up the meme that guns are to blame. They haven’t dropped their fixation on “vitriolic Speech”…….you know, all the blamestorming coming from the mostly liberal media, elected Democrats, and liberal talking heads could be considered “vitriolic speech.” You also...
Who has been "inflaming tensions"
Another rampantly biased piece in the Tribune this morning by Kathleen Hennessey and others.
No mention of the Pima County Sheriff's inflammatory and unprofessional outburst. No mention of the contemptible bias of the NY Times and CNN, not to mention MSNBC--and even FoxNews. The LA Times/Tribune "reporters" conveniently cut off the quote from Roger Ailes:
Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes — while rejecting any suggestion that his Cable News net...
Arizona Legislature To Announce Anti-Westboro Law To Protect Shooting Victims
Arizona's State Legislature has announced a legislative effort to combat the infamous Westboro Baptist Church's plans to picket the Funerals of the Shooting Victims in Tucson over the weekend.
"We're going to try to protect the families from undue harassment," State Rep. Daniel Patterson (D), one of the leaders of a Bipartisan group of legislators, told Talking Points Memo Monday.
While the Topeka-based congregation has been best known for their incendiary anti-gay, pro-dead soldier messages, ...

Sheriff Clarence Dupnik tell ABC News' Diane Sawyer Gunman Fired 'As Fast As He Was Capable
By SARAH NETTER
Jan. 10, 2011
The Arizona sheriff investigating the Tucson shooting that left U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords critically wounded had harsh words today for those engaging in political Rhetoric, calling conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh "irresponsible" for continuing the vitriol.

Poll: Rhetoric, Arizona shooting unrelated
Almost 60 percent of the public believes that heated political Rhetoric has nothing to do with an Arizona Shooting Spree that gravely wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) and killed a Federal Judge.
Fifty-seven percent of respondents in a new CBS News poll said Rhetoric is unrelated to the shooting, while 32 percent said they believe the two are connected.
Many pundits and lawmakers have keyed in on political vitriol as a potential contributing factor to the shootings allegedly carried out by...
Hold bad political actors accountable (Politico)
Every Sunday morning starts the same way: I go to Starbucks, pick up The New York Times and dive in. Every Sunday morning, that is, except for the one that just passed. When I went to the Coffee Shop, I passed the newspaper rack without a glance. I simply couldn’t bear to look. The day before, my wife, Susan, had rushed into our apartment, shaking and with both fists clenched. Through tears, she told me about the shootings at Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’s meeting at a Parking Lot in Tu...
Friend Reveals Insight Into Jared Lee Loughner & Possible Motives
Mother Jones got an exclusive with an acquaintance of Loughner’s, Bryce Tierney, who described him as sober, obsessed with lucid dreaming and not necessarily political. However, he did have problems with the government in general and was possibly motivated to kill Giffords because she didn’t answer a nonsensical question he asked her back in 2007.
Here’s how that exchange went down in August 2007…
Tierney, who’s also 22, recalls Loughner complaining about a Giffor...
The Morning Plum
* Obama steps up: The President is set to travel to Arizona tomorrow to attend the Funeral service of the Shooting Victims, and he is expected to give a Speech about tolerance, a theme he may reprise in the State of the Union address. But Obama's advisers are uncertain about the exact message he should send:
It is not clear whether ideology motivated the alleged shooter, Jared Loughner, and Obama's advisers may conclude it unwise for the president to lecture the nation on mutual respect -- whi...
Arizona, where the American Dream went to die
When I arrived in Arizona last March, my bones were still practically numb from the snowiest winter in the modern history of my native Northeast. There was radiant sunshine that made the Valley of the Sun feel like a warm soaking bath, bordered on my far horizon by New-Age red rocks and big sky -- natural beauty that inspired awe for me as it surely once did for so many new arrivals over so many decades. I didn't travel to Phoenix to witness beauty, unfortunately, but to get an up close look a...
