I think all this type of finger pointing is asinine. From the left and the right (and Hugo). As far as I know nothing has been shown of this person to reference Palin, Beck, the tea party movement, or really anything that can pin down the alleged shooter's ideology what so ever. Look at his favorite books, it lists Mein Kampf, then also lists The Communist Manifesto but also lists We The Living. He talks of problems with the monetary system not being backed by gold or silver, then says he won't trust in God, then posts as his favorite video a video about the flag being burned, then you have a bunch of twitter comments from people who knew him in school who identify him as "left wing, quite liberal", "anti-flag" and one person says he met the Congresswoman in '07 had asked her a question and described her as "stupid & unintelligent". This calls back to when the media and some on here, jumped to calling the guy who shot up the Holocaust Museum, guy who flew the plane into the IRS building, guy who stormed the Discovery Channel, and whoever supposedly killed the census worker (who actually committed suicide) as tea party, right wing or Glenn Beck followers, but when they were all shown to be wrong assumptions, nothing. I think the only thing obvious is the person is deranged.
Trust me the guy that shot Gifford is CRAZY! Also, why did he have a gun? I lived in AZ for 2 years, and they will sell a gun to anyone, that's no bullshit. They need to have tougher guidelines for gun ownership. Even Mexico has blamed Az's gun sales on alot of the cartel violence.
It was the bimbo's sophomoric rantings that put her in a position to be blamed. http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Arizo...blicid_ap_org9675d0bee98b475d807ba6df6c58ccde
I blame Markos Moulitsas Zuniga. He had this on his site... and yanked it and other posts by this blogger down from his site just as fast as Palin dropped hers. (p.s. Randal "Rand" Paul wasn't named after Ayn Rand.)
I guess if I was going to kill a political figure, I'd have to be motivated to do so because I saw them as being part of some... oh.. I don't know.. say evil Commie Socialist Fascist (even though that is contradictory) unamerican conspiracy who has stolen the country and wants me to be subservient to the government. Considering people are trying to portray him as a Lefty (typical right wing playbook, never accept responsibility for anything), you'd think his extremist mind would be compelled to pick off a Republican congressman instead. The pickings are better. No matter how you look at it, the guy seemed to think this congress woman's demise would have a better impact in his world. I wonder if he picked that up from Mein Kampf or the Commie Manifesto. Maybe it was those right wing books he was reading.. Whatever it was, his intended target was a Democrat that he was made to believe is an evil. Who did that? Willfully ignorant rhetoric that's went on too damn long. . .
I guess I missed the evidence that this anti-flag, anti-God, anti-Constitution, reader of Karl Marx was a Palin supporter.
It makes little difference, politically, if he was or not. Sarah got where she is at by appealing to emotions. A Romney aide is already mass producing pictures of Miss Green. Ya live by the sword ya die by the sword. I must admit anyone who reads is not a likely Palin supporter.
Wow, check it out, Faux News REALLY IS fair and balanced: http://politics.blogs.foxnews.com/2...y-be-linked-racist-organization#ixzz1AYOlfLCz Yep, taking back the country from the evil socialist Commie lawmakers who have infested our way of life and are destroying this country from within. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want Palin to run for prez now. I'm gonna have pictures taken with all kinds of angle shots of me filling in that oval and proudly voting for a true patriot and icon of America. The next, and best ever President..... Sarah Palin. I wanna be able to archive my vote with a big thumbs up so I can boast "I WAS THERE AND I VOTED FOR THE REVOLUTION". After which, I will proudly pop in my well preserved Blue Ray copy of "Idiocracy" and welcome the next President in with a proud smile that I witnessed a self fulfilling prophesy. [media] . .
I am not saying it is Palin's fault.. Just that her talk radio style campaign rhetoric has high risks. Her chance to be President died with Miss Green. I think even Palin may be bright enough to see this. I pretty much agree with the guy in Phreak's video.
I guess as someone who claims to be a libertarian, I thought you would believe a little more in personal responsibility. Until shown otherwise, I pretty much agree with this quote...
I recognize political realities. Palin made a career out of appealing to emotions that career is now in peril. What is good for the gander is good for the goose.
...and Ozzy Osborne is responsible for suicides, Jodi Foster is responsible for Reagan being shot, J.D. Salinger is responsible for the death of John Lennon...
Oh yeah, this makes PERFECT sense, what genious, you uncovered the whole motive. This guy was a leftist extremist and was so far left he felt he needed to kill a Democrat congresswoman, yeah, makes perfect sense, obviously this obscure article from the daily Kos drove him to want to kill. :teehee::teehee::teehee::teehee::teehee::teehee::teehee::teehee::teehee::teehee::teehee::teehee::teehee:
