Edited on Sat Jan-08-11 01:19 PM by DesertRat
Just heard on local NPR radio station. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 6 staffers were just shot at an outside event in Tucson, AZ.

7. Yikes ....
   
Not good ....

Citizens consumed with their hatreds, fueled by right wing talk media ....

Of course right away they say it's the teabaggers.

Odds are it's a lefty. Those on the left are the ones who are calling for violence not us.

That was my first thought too with what has been released so far.
Sounds like they caught the guy and hopefully she recovers and he is prosecuted to the full extent.

56. if it is a Mexican cartel shooter, I expect this could get uncomfortable.
   
My first thought was a 'bagger but she's a blue-dog, supports guns and border enforcement including National Guard at the border...

Might be a cartel shooter...

Prayers with Gabrielle.

We'll find out soon enough. Then we can discuss it.

Cartel hit...She is a strong proponent of sealing the border.

Sealed borders won't stop the cartels, based on her stance it seems entirely possible the shooter is a Reconquista irredentist (<-look it up, lurking DUmmies).

There are crazy people all across the political spectrum, it's not impossible it was somebody our side will get stuck with label-wise by the MSM at least; really though the first thing is that I hope she recovers fully, the finger-pointing takes a back seat to that.

So she's for securing the border, pro-life, and pro-2nd amendment.  Sounds like a DINO, I'm surprised the DUmmies aren't celebrating.

I wasn't even going to log in today, but had to make sure the DUmp idiots were jumping to conclusions & blaming teabaggers, Beck, Hannity, Palin, Rush, etc.

Prayers to Rep. Giffords & her family.

The suspect ran off and was tackled by a bystander. He was taken into custody. Witnesses described him as in his late teens or early 20s.

I notice they omit saying 'White' or 'Caucasian' man in his late teens or early 20s.  I have my own supposition on the probable meaning of this, though of course it could be simply shitty reporting, being NPR.

If that is the case and given the age of the attacker (if that is correct) I think very likely mark my words here,the DUmp will immediately pivot and declare that it was a poor person justifiably angered by mean conservatives wanting to break up his family and we really need amnesty to deal with his rage.

It doesn't matter who the shooter turns out to be. He could be a schizophrenic communist from Sri Lanka and their story will be the same.

They'll still either blame "the climate of hate created by RW radio" or fall back on the time-honored "it's a shame but understandable how we would assume it was conservatives given their history and behavior blah blah blah".

That's always been their m.o. and they're never going to change.

Oh, yes, of course...so when the shooter's name is released with no GOP connection then the ASSUMPTION will be made that the GOP did this.

My own interpretation of this was that this was a Mexican Drug cartel hit, but that is all it is at this time: an interpretation.

EDIT: Turned out I was wrong, see later post.

Lots of wild rumors on all of the cable channels, and I'm sure ever crazier shit at the DUmp.

If it turns out that the shooter(s) were right-wing tea party supporters, 0bama may have his own Oklahoma City-type situation.

The left is just itchin to point their fingers and say, "See, they are violent".

6. Normally, I don't do this...
   
But I'm enraged by her fake sympathies knowing that she put a target on Gabrielle Gifford.

You idiot the target was to defeat her at the polls not, shoot her. Hell Pelosi targeted a ton of Republicans as well.

That disproves my earlier Cartel reference. I'll go back and edit that out as well.

Not necessarily.  There are incidents of Iraq/Afghan vets involved in gangs as kids and then bringning their training home, particularly in the SW.  Guy may be right, left, criminal, or God knows what, we just don't know yet.

You know, this comment really pisses me off, all you're doing is playing into the hands of the frothing at the mouth regressives. I don't know of anyone involved in the Tea Party movement that has ever advocated violence. There have been 3 incidents of violence since Obama became President and ALL 3 have been perpetrated by the left even though it was initially blamed on the right. This is the game regressives play when trying to marginalize people they disagree with.

With the information released so far it seems he is a complete lunatic.
He is reported to be a veteran of the Afghanistan war.

If and again if needs to be stressed this is correct,it is only a matter of time before the DUmp finds sympathy again for the guy as being in his state of lunacy from his service and it is Bushes fault.

Whoa, whoa. I know the statement pisses you off, but the implication is that you are pissed at ME for saying it. I have ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT that a REAL tea-partier was NOT involved.

My statement is that this allows the lunatic fringe on the left with a lot of political ammunition to use AGAINST the tea party. Keep in mind the fight is NOT to derail actual tea party members. The fight is to PREVENT those whom are moving TOWARD the Tea Party from actually joining its ranks.

Knowing the socialist mentality, it is vital to understand that, in their mind, this shooting is a MAJOR TRUMP CARD to use at virtually any issue involving issues that involve constitutional principles. The postings at DU prove it, Olberman's and Maddow's special shows tonight will prove it, and you can BET that EVERY "conventional" newscast tonight on NBC, CBS, and ABC will have "Does the Tea Party Incite Violence" segments no matter WHOM shooter Jared Loughner's motives turn out to be.

Bally, if you are going to be pissed (and you should), then make sure where the anger is directed. DU does NOT need MY post to get riled up over this.

And I refuse to give them the power to hold that over my head.

12. Nothing like this. FR posters are mean and vicious. This person is schizophrenic/delusional.
He is clearly mentally ill. Certainly right-wing rhetoric influenced his actions. I also think any kind of strong rhetoric could've done it. If we had real health care in this country--real care for veterans--this wouldn't've happened. I don't think people understand the depth of psychosis people are experiencing after engagement with the US military. I've even seen people have PTSD BEFORE deployment. It's that bad.

Actually, I think the DUmp gets pretty boring when one of these big events happens. It's like they all have a super buzz on, and there's just no creativity or originality. The DUmp at its best is entertaining. It's like watching one of those ant farms, with the white sandy stuff where they build tunnels and rooms, and go about the entertaining business of being ants. As kid, I had one of those ant farms and thought it was kind of fascinating. A big event at the DUmp is like when your big brother comes into the room, picks up the ant farm, and gives it a couple of hard shakes. You can still watch the ants, but all that frenzied discombobulation gets old pretty quickly.

You and I are 100% in agreement over the Tea Party then. Definitely a capital case candidate, though it will most probably take over 15 years assuming guilty verdict and DP sentencing (i.e., if he's not found insane).

However, I do disagree that the point is "moot". The left is now going to make a full frontal assault on the Tea Party based upon this murderer's actions (he killed two others so far).

Keep in mind, their primary focus is to derail Sarah Palin, as she is their #1 target on their hit list (no pun intended, but not going to PC this in any way). The Tea Party is incidental, but I suspect the biggest winner today is Mitt Romney.

Sealed borders won't stop the cartels, based on her stance it seems entirely possible the shooter is a Reconquista irredentist (<-look it up, lurking DUmmies).

That's possible. In 1978, there was a riot in East Houston that was incited by Travis Morales, which is not his real name, as he is White, not Hispanic. He is a Communist and Revolutionary.

Palin is a killer. Plain and simple. Whether is be poor defenseless animals or Democrats she likes to put her sick "sights" on. That is a clear sign of her true inner feelings. So don't start bringing the Lord into this Sarah, when your ass is in the hot seat! Man up!


I've had a Pain for President sticker on my truck since one week after obama got elected. I'm not taking it off now.

Here comes the spin..."Friend" on twitter who hasn't talked to shooter since 2007 calls him liberal

catieparker:As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal. & oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy.

I expect we'll eventually learn his DUmp name.
He was clearly influenced by the hateful rhetoric at the DUmp against Blue Dog Democrats. A lot of the DUmpmonkeys are saying he was psychotic, even more proof of his DUmp membership.

"I know who's listening: Government Officials, and the People," Loughner wrote.

If I have my civil rights, then this message wouldn't have happen" <------ Not AP but shooters quote
