When you have news sources like fox news that contribute and incourage the hate between the two political parties, and stupid people like sarach palin who says stuff like "let's lock and load" what do you expect? Fox news, glenn beck, hanity, sarah palin are as much responible as that shooter is for killing innocent people because of there political affilationsThunda_Monkey

Speaking of encouraging the hate, how about the quote from this politician! Must make you furious!

"If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,"

Me being a democrat I'm going to look over the link you just provided to out wit me and supple a link that will counter your link. http://www.towleroad.com/2011/01/congresswoman-giffords-name-on-sarah-palin-target-list.html

Now you tell me witch one is worst? a quote about guns and knives or a map with crosshairs on it actually targeting people and one of those people happen to get shot in the head?Thunda_Monkey

So no outrage over the quote I posted? Bipartisan for the win?

But on another note, maybe the shooter was inspired by the political quote of Punish your enemies

No, but this nutjob killer could have easily interpreted the most popular politician in America today (Obama) that 'enemies should be punished', and HE could have saw her as an enemy.

My point is, we don't know this person's motives yet, and to tie them to any political side at this point is just a knee jerk reaction or one side using it to move their agenda.

According to reports, his websites quotes the communist manfesto. Which politcal side would that be? (I don't think either)

Also, the Washington Post and CCN use the term regarding putting republicans in the 'crosshairs' quite a few times. Look at the post by Peaceful_Anger earlier in this thread. He has quite a few links.

[QUOTE="Thunda_Monkey"] I'm always down for some Bipartisan efforts, the lame duck session made me proud. But to answer your question yeah it's possible that that punish your enemies quote could have done it but then again Congress woman Gabby Giffords isn't an enemy, atleast not to obama, maybe to sarah palin though because she's putting hits out on people...

It all adds up to you because you are trying to force it to.

As far as I know, the guy never once claimed that he supports the Tea Party. If you're gonna make a claim like that, you're going to need to prove it.

The crosshairs thing was foolish of Sarah Palin, but there's no evidence suggesting that the gunman acted based on that stupid crosshairs list.

Surprise surprise...he's a 9/11 truther. And it looks like he's been obessed with Giffords since 2007. LINK

As I said earlier, this guy is 2 sandwiches short of a picnic.

Remember former Philadelphia Phillies manager Dallas Green? Well, his granddaughter Christina-Taylor Green, born on 9/11/2001, was killed yesterday. What a tragedy. :( Storyangeldeb82

Unfortunately almost no one cares. Which to me is the real tragedy.

Several people die and the only person worth mentioning is a congresswoman. Really?

I totally agree with you about not assuming the guys motives but c'mon the guy claims that he supports the tea party on his facebook. Giffords beats a tea party canidate in a tight race. sarah palin has a list of 20 congressional members with crosshairs over there names. then it so happens that outta of 300 million people in this country 1 person that happen to be on that list gets shot? Sarah palin supports the tea party also. I know I sound crazy but damn this all adds up IMO.Thunda_Monkey

I didn't see this reported yet. Do you have a link? I did see it reported he quoted the Communist Manifesto.

It doesn't all 'add up' at all unless you jump to many conclusions. Regardless of what anyone else says, this killer is responsible for his own actions. Not Sarah Palin for her 'targets', not Obama for saying 'bring a gun' or 'punish your enemies', not anyone but the shooter himself.

Try to use this incident to forward political agenda's by pointing figures, blaming parties, or anyone other than him is just sick IMO.

EDIT:

Actually, I want to edit this. After thinking about it. while the shooter is responsible, people that incite bad behavior with irresponsible influence can hold some responsibility as well (Charles Manson for example). That being said, I think it is really stretching it to give any blame to Palin or Obama or whoever in this case.

Because the other victims can't be 'used' to bring down a party or a political figure. Disgusting I know.

""He didn't want people to wake up and do the same thing every day. He wanted more chaos, he wanted less regularity," one friend said."

Yeah, this punk is a hardcore schizo. His nonsensical obsession with grammar/literacy, the bat**** insane ramblings, hatred of patterns, and socially/emotionally stunted mannerisms just reek of someone who needed to be in a padded cell years prior.

quick lets get rid of the first ammendment..it's the only way to get rid of this type of evil right wing zealot.......Omni-Slash

[QUOTE="Wasdie"]

Did they get the guy who did it?

He needs to be dealt with...

It's one thing to protest against politics you don't like, and another to kill a politican.

The problem is, most americans are ignorant and have no clue what they're talking about when it comes to criticizing fiscal policies. The more ignorant you are, the more opinions you have on issues you know nothing about. The tax bill is perfectly fine.

Looks like the Daily Kos used the target/crosshairs system on thier website. It has been scrubbed since all of this occured. They often do things like this. However, thanks to screen grabs, these have been preserved for all to see.

Wonder if Loughner was a writer for the Kos?

I don't think killing a congresswoman is going to bring down a party.

It's not the president. It's not even the governor.

No, but it's being used to paint the tea party in a bad light or right wing. Even in this thread alone, not to mention other sites, are posting 'angry tea party' sign holders, etc. Many are trying to paint a picture of how 'dangerous' the tea party members are! etc.

Some people are using this tragedy to put certain individuals in a bad light.

Not to mention how some want to blame Palin for instigating this behavior or candidate Jesse Kelly. that's what I'm getting at.

It was a crazed idiot, and not much more than that.

That is due to everyone wanting this shooting to be politically motivated. It may be, but until this kid starts speaking, no one will know. His ramblings were anti-government, but he didn't single out one party or state that he thought himself aligned with any party. The kid is missing more than a few marbles and nothing more.

It looks like Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik has some explaining to do. LINK

It turns out Loughner had made previous death threats before, but they did nothing. His mom also works for Pima County. And Dupnik (Dem) knew this when he went on his partisan rampage against Palin. What a creep.

As of the day it happened and the day after there was 0 talk of the kid or any other victim. It was all "Congresswoman shot! Will she live!"

Days later now that the dodgers and such piped in about a child dying, they finally mention something.

No, she's still in the hospital.

That is good news.

Congresswoman raises two fingers, gives thumbs up She was shot in the head at point blank range, the bullet went straight through her brain, she survived, and she's giving a thumbs-up from the hospital bed. This woman has bigger balls than Teddy Roosevelt. Theokhoth

It amazing that she survive.
