Loughner shoots Palin and Angles political careers to death
It may be weeks, months or perhaps never that we find out what really motivated 22 year-old  Jared Lee Loughner to purchase a 9 mm gun with an extended clip and Murder real people in what he calls “conscience dreaming” [sic]. While he is being assessed, should we wonder why Sarah Palin removed her “crosshairs map” hours after six people were slaughtered and fourteen wounded in a spate of violence?      While a person as deranged as Loughner c...

Rhode Island Governor Bans State Workers from Appearing on Talk Radio

Lawyers: Insanity Defense Wont Work
CNN reports: The alleged shooter in Saturday’s deadly Tucson massacre may have difficulty making the case for a successful insanity plea, experts said Tuesday. Jared Lee Loughner, 22, who authorities say shot up a gathering held by U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Arizona, outside a Supermarket, has been anecdotally regarded as very troubled and perhaps mentally unbalanced because of his ramblings spotted on the Internet and the ways he has been described by acquaintances. But Paul Callan...

McCain to return from overseas trip to attend memorial service
Arizona Sen. John McCain (R) will return from a congressional delegation trip to attend a memorial service for the Victims of a Shooting Spree in his home state that resulted in the wounding of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D).  Brooke Buchanan, a spokeswoman for McCain, told The Hill he is cutting his trip short to go to the memorial in Tucson, Ariz., where the shooting took place. McCain is traveling in South America with his Senate GOP colleague Tom Barrasso (Wyo.) The two were scheduled to vi...

Is Sheriff Dupnik Distracting Public From Looking at His Contacts With Killer?
“I’d like to make one additional point on Sheriff Dupnik. I think we’re missing the point when we’re talking about his political agenda. This man and this suspect has had previous contact with the sheriff’s office. It looks to me, we don’t have many details on this, but it looks as though he slipped between the cracks. I think what we really need to look into is what happened when he had previous contact with the sheriff’s office with their negligence he...

Religiously-Themed Conspiracy Theories About Giffords Shooting Emerge
Pastor Carl Gallups of Hickory Hammock Baptist Church in Milton, Florida, has produced two videos about the attempted Assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords that glorify Gun Owners of America, claim that Giffords knew her assailant, assert that owning guns is a "God-given right," and that Gun Control leads to Genocide. One of Gallups' claims, that Giffords subscribed to Loughner's YouTube channel, is now being touted by Jerome Corsi, the conspiratory theorist and contributor to World Net Daily...

Lone nuts and convenient definitions of "terrorism"
"Columbine" author Dave Cullen wrote yesterday that most media figures compulsively -- and incorrectly -- assign all killers to one of two binaries: Crazy or political. Right-wing commentators do the same thing, for the most part, though they tend to say killers are either crazy or Terrorists. And while they'll usually freely admit that Tim McVeigh counted as a terrorist, for the most part they reserve that term for Muslims who kill. There is, for example, Charles Krauthammer's classic column on...

10 Things You Didn't Know About Gabrielle Giffords

The Tragedy of the Arizona Shooting.
This weekend’s tragic shooting at a Safeway district meeting in which United States Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was seriously hurt and a dozen more injured and a District Court judge John Roll, a nine-year-old girl born on September 11th, and a congressional aide were killed has left us all stunned. Nick Baumann has an interview with a friend of the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner. The friend describes Loughner’s obsession with Gifford as starting when she d...

Arizona leaders play blame-game, but get it wrong
While investigators continue to investigate the tragic shooting that took place in Tucson last Saturday, leaders in Arizona have eagerly jumped on the main stream media’s overblown, detrimental, blame- game wagon. Only hours after the shooting took place, Pima County Sheriff, Clarence Dupnik argued that the “vitriol” of the Country's harshly polarized political climate was partly to blame, arguing that “unbalanced individuals are uniquely "susceptible" to vitriol.” ...

David Brooks vs. Andrew Sullivan
One can read Andrew Sullivan's tireless, yet exceedingly tiresome response to David Brooks' The Politicized Mind - regarding seemingly classically disturbed spree killer, Jared Loughner. Typical of Sullivan these days, he cherry picks, ignoring evidence that Loughner had met Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Loughner strongly disapproved of her given a perceived lack of a response to some bizarre question of his. Of course, Sullivan ignores that evidence because he wants...

Sen. McCain cutting trip short to attend Memorial service in Tucson
According to ABC News’, Matthew Jaffe, Sen. John McCain is cutting short a Congressional trip to Latin America to return to his home state of Arizona for Wednesday’s memorial service for the Victims of last weekend’s Tucson shooting. McCain and his wife Cindy will both attend the memorial service, according to the senator’s spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan. McCain left last Friday with Sen. John Barrasso on a week-long trip to Colombia, Brazil, Chile, Panama and Mexico, but no...

Kasich says lowering taxes on insurance industry will create jobs
COLUMBUS, Ohio (CGE) - Monday afternoon, following his ceremonial swearing-in ceremony at the Ohio Theater in downtown Columbus that featured an evangelized Speech against the status quo, Gov. John R. Kasich, who had officially become Governor only a dozen hours before, signed his first Executive Order and then sworn-in his Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor as the next director of the Ohio Dept. of Insurance. Kasich, looking around the room in the Governor's office in the statehouse as if it was his first ti...

Separation of Journalism and Politics
A question that I have been asking for quite some time was brought to the fore once again with the pervasive and obnoxious liberal bias in the so-called news reporting of the Assassination attempt on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Why does anyone continue to purchase and read the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time Magazine, and other mainstream publications which have replaced accurate reporting with faux news accounts rising to the level of outright lies? And why does anyone waste tim...

John Green on Freedom, by David Henderson
It has become so standard, when a family has had a tragedy, for a family member to advocate some further restriction on freedom even if that restriction would create more tragedies than it would prevent. It's kind of understandable. When a family member dies, we feel so impotent. We want to do something. I've never had something like John Green's tragedy of losing a beautiful vibrant little girl. The closest I've come is my brother's Suicide, which was a shock, but the suicide of a 22-year old...

Mourners to hold 'community healing' Mass after Arizona shooting
Mourners will gather at a memorial Mass Tuesday for Victims of the weekend shooting outside an Arizona Supermarket that killed 6 people and wounded 14 others. The Mass will be held at 7 p.m. (9 p.m. ET) at St. Odiilia Church in Tucson, Arizona - where 9-year-old shooting victim Christina Green had her First Communion a year ago. "Right now it is important as a community to pull together and to reach out in care and concern to all who have been affected by this tragedy," Bishop Gera...

Majority Of Americans Not Buying Into Far Left Spin About Arizona Shootings
Immediately after the tragic massacre where a 22 year old Jared Lee Loughner (Mug Shot to the left) shot anywhere from 13 to 19 people (conflicting reports) people, killed six and left others, including the Congresswomen from AZ Gabrielle Giffords, in critical and serious condition, Far Left Democrats started pointing fingers and casting blame on Rhetoric and imagery from the political right to assign blame for Loughner's actions. A CBS News' poll shows the majority of Americans have not bough...

Space Oddity
I spent some of my lunch hour delving into Jared Lee Loughner’s pre-massacre writings. The media generally haven’t given us the full context here, only edited bits and pieces, and I think this is a bit unfortunate. It takes a while for the reader to plumb the full depths of how disturbed he was. Loughner posted under the username Erad3 at the UFO Conspiracy site AboveTopSecret. One of his big ideas was that the Space Shuttle missions were faked. He came to it by way of a chain of ve...

Politician Safety and Protection
TACTICAL EXTRACTIONS Counterterrorism PAPER 01-2011 SPECIAL By R. J. Godlewski The January 8, 2011 shooting of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), Federal Judge John Roll and several others in Tucson has sparked a national outcry of support for the Victims and strong condemnation for the alleged gunman, Jared Loughner, 22. These actions are necessarily part of the human condition. So, too, are reactions taken on the part of the U.S. Congress, the Presidency, and the public regarding...

Is This America's Fate? A Must-Read From California
By Barry Rubin While this is far outside what Rubin Reports usually covers, I just have to direct you to Victor Davis Hanson's article on his travels through Central California, which charts the disintegration into a Third World situation in that part of the state. Notice that none of this kind of thing is being reported in the mass media, where California's race toward Bankruptcy seems to motivate only puzzlement or the advocacy of Federal bail-outs. Hanson's deliberately refraining from takin...

Political Correctness Gone Wild: British YWCA Drops Christian From Their Name
They have decided to drop the "Christian" label and re-brand as “Platform 51″. It's only a matter of time before this insanity come here. Let's hope their Donors drop their funding and send them a strong message. The rebranding is likely to raise questions among the charity’s donors, many of whom give to it because of the organisation’s Christian links. ...

Paul Krugmans totalitarian temptation
Washington Examiner: Jared Loughner, the gunman charged with wounding Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and murdering six others in Tucson on Saturday, held bizarre beliefs about “conscious dreaming” and government mind control imposed through English grammar. No serious person would connect his belief system to a mainstream political ideology. But then there’s New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. He places the blood Libel of blame for the Tucson Murders squarely on the sho...

Reid praised Arizona sheriff in 2008 speech
In a floor Speech nearly three years ago, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid praised the sheriff investigating the deadly Arizona Shooting Spree who has faced criticism from the right.  Reid (D-Nev.) took to the Senate floor on April 15, 2008 to praise the "truly commendable" 50-year Law Enforcement career of Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik.  "Clarence Dupnik is known as a man of action, integrity, and innovation," Reid said. "These skills have been invaluable to his 50 years of service t...

The Arizona Shootings and Political Discourse
Sometimes, the English language is too small to convey appropriate thoughts. Such is the case with the Arizona shootings. Many writers and speakers have said many things. I have been intellectually and emotionally challenged in attempting to understand all points of view that have been offered thus far on the causes of the weekend shooting in a Grocery Store Parking Lot in Tucson. That Parking Lot was suppose to have been the site for one of the most pristine and direct examples of our democrati...

Commentary: Take the political rhetoric down a notch
Those searching for easy answers after a 22-year-old shot 20 people, killing six, during U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' meeting with constituents in Tucson, Ariz., on Saturday won't find any. Yes, guns are easily accessible in this country. Yes, in the past two years we have seen Political Speech ratcheted up with gun-toting participants at some Tea Party events, and some Democrats in Congress faced angry voters at town hall meetings during debate on Healthcare Reform. And, yes, the Internet a...
