Underwood to make debut in 'Surfer' film

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...

Why Fox is news and CNN is not
Democratic Sheriff Clarence Dupnik went on CNN on Saturday and blamed everyone but Jared Lee Loughner for Jared Lee Loughner’s shooting of 21 people, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. CNN did not challenge Dupnik when he said: “I think the vitriolic Rhetoric that we hear day in and day out from people in the radio business and some people in the TV business and what (we) see on TV and how our youngsters are being raised, that this has not become the nice United States of ...

Liberals Blame Sarah Palin for Tucson Shooting Tragedy
The tragic shooting outside a Tucson strip mall, which left six dead and at least a dozen more wounded, is all because of Sarah Palin, liberals are saying today. So far, police have said they cannot find any motive for the attack, which tookplace during a "Congress on Your Corner" event arranged by Conservative Blue Dog Democrat Gabrielle Giffords, who represents Arizona's 8th Congressional District in the U.S. House. The suspect, Jared Lee Loughner, has allegedly told authorities he planned the...

The Giffords assassination attempt and the Assault Weapons Ban
It seems clear that the man accused of committing the Tucson massacre is severely mentally ill. It also should be clear that he should not have been able to purchase the weapon he used. Had President Clinton's Assault Weapons Ban not been allowed to expire, he wouldn't have: The high-capacity magazine of the semiautomatic pistol used in the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and more than a dozen other people on Saturday would have been illegal to manufacture and difficult to purchase under th...

Medias wild accusation against Palin missed wacky cult connection to ODonnell
The Lying Liberal Media desperate to implicate the Tea Party, Sarah Palin and Talk Show Conservatives missed one wild and unhinged theory they thrive on.  Jared Lee Loughner's (notice the middle name, press loves three named assassins) has an occultist alter in his back yard. The Daily News exclusive writes, “A sinister shrine reveals a chilling occult dimension in the mind of the deranged gunman accused of shooting a member of Congress and 19 others. Hidden within a camouflage tent b...

The Left Hypocritically Exploits Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' Shooting
Just hours after Saturday's tragic shooting incident in Tucson, Arizona, numerous news sources on the left from CNN to the Huffington Post were casting blame upon Sarah Palin, Tea Parties, and Second Amendment supporters. Hoping the shooter had right-leaning views, the Left immediately started portraying Jared Lee Loughner as a Right Wing nut. Even as information trickled in revealing Loughner had some left-leaning political views, the left ignored it and ran with their own spin, labeling hi...

Arizona shooter Jared Lee Loughner a registered Democrat?
UPDATE: So far, it appears to be a Hoax. I found a similar document online that had him as a Republican. And an independent. I got this notice on facebook, and haven't confirmed it. Therefore, this could be just another Hoax. Take this with a big grain of salt for now (plus, you can change Party Affiliation as often as you want): HT: Kenny B. on FB UPDATE #2: Here's the one from the left: It's just a childish thing to do by either side. ...

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) wrote of the need to "tone our Rhetoric and Partisanship down" the day before having been shot.

Tucson Gunman Jared Loughner Who Shot Gabrielle Giffords Described by Classmate as Left-Wing Pothead
Hmm, the Tea Party gunman as inaccuratly described by the liberal MSM is described as a LEFT-WING POT HEAD by former classmates. That seems to be a much different profile than the NY Times, liberal media and left-wing political agenda propagandists want America to believe. This punk, was a loner, a deranged individual, with no real political affiliation who appears by all accounts to have been fixated on this Assassination attempt long ago. This kid was a delusional loner who was hell bent o...

Politicos Ben Smith gives credence to baseless SPLC comments on Tea Party connection in Arizona shooting
Matthew Boyle is a contributing reporter at The Daily Caller. In a column published late Sunday night, Politico’s Ben Smith quoted a Political Activist at the Southern Poverty Law Center as a source to link the weekend shooting in Arizona to mainstream Conservatism. SPLC’s Mark Potok told Smith that the connection is through Far Right-wing Activist David Wynn Miller. Miller is a former Milwaukee welder who has declared himself the “King of Hawaii.” He’s associated w...

Giffords environmental advocacy
By now you know the basic story: Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head on Saturday while appearing at a "Congress on Your Corner" event in Tucson. The shooting killed six, among them a federal judge and a nine-year-old girl. Giffords herself seems to be responding to stimuli despite being gravely injured.

Who is really to blame for the shootings in Tucson, AZ?
The Rhetoric seems to be never ending.  The blame game has begun, and there is no end in sight regarding comments as to what happened, who should have done what and why.  But the real answers as to how to prevent another tragedy like the one in Tucson, AZ have not yet been discussed. Anyone who has spent enough time listening to TV news, or has read on-line accounts of the incident, has heard or read about all of the finger pointing commentary by everyone from the m...

Jared Lee Loughner and media 'madness' | SE Smith
Within minutes of learning Saturday's breaking news about the shooting of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords along with staff and bystanders at a public event in Tucson, I, along with many other people with Mental Illness and Mental Health advocates, knew exactly what to expect: a torrent of speculation about the Mental Health status of the shooter. Real time reactions on the Internet did not disappoint, whether talking about "crazed gunmen", "lunatics", "psycho killers", or "mentally dis...

Arizona says Latino studies class illegal
In Arizona schools, it’s apparently OK to study black culture, Asian culture and American Indian culture, but offer a class in Latino culture and you put your School District at risk of losing significant state funding, according to an article in Friday’s New York Times. An aide to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said on a conservative radio program Sunday that last year’s much-maligned ads by Palin’s PAC showing rifle crosshairs over 20 Democratic Congressional Districts ...

Media Matters Calls On Murdoch To Rein In Beck, Palin
In a letter delivered to News Corp.CEO Rupert Murdoch Monday afternoon, and obtained by TPM, Media Matters founder David Brock says the time has come for Fox News to take responsibility for its programming. Specifically, Brock is calling on Murdoch to make Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck tone down their Rhetoric on threat of termination -- or to be complicit in acts of political violence.

Flashback: Bachmann Called for "Armed and Dangerous" Citzenry on Climate Bill
In the wake of the tragic shootings in Tucson on Saturday, there has been a lot of talk about the influence of heated—and at times, violent—political Rhetoric, which has seemingly escalated in recent years. Sarah Palin has gotten plenty of attention for her midterms target map (replete with bulls-eyes) of Congressional Districts, Arizona's Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, who was critically injured in the shooting. But it's worth noting some of the other examples of extreme rhetoric&m...;

"What is government if words have no meaning?" the question Jared Loughner asked Gabrielle Giffords at a "Congress in Your Corn
Mother Jones reports what he said to his friend Bryce Tierney: "Can you believe it, they wouldn't answer my question." Tierney says, "Ever since that, he thought she was fake, he had something against her." (By the way, 2007 is a year before Sarah Palin emerged on the national scene.) Loughner would occasionally mention Giffords, according to Tierney: "It wasn't a day-in, day-out thing, but maybe once in a while, if Giffords did something that was ridiculous or passed some stupid law or did som...

D.C. government observes moment of silence for Ariz. victims
Mayor Vincent C. Gray and Council Members led D.C. government employees in a moment of silence in observance of the Arizona tragedy.
