31. ALL we heard from Teabaggers is that they are "Independents"
Thats all they kept saying, I remember them even saying "we are not republicans, we will vote against them too, we are Independents".

2. He may not be registered to a political party but he had a political agenda.
I think this in (is) the M$M attempt to cool the situation.

9. "He still could have been susceptible to angry rhetoric that made sense to him."
Absolutely.

12. "Independent" is a pretentious euphemism for far right wing.
It's what right wingers like to to call themselves when they are too cool for school; they fancy themselves great political thinkers who are above being constrained by a political party. I tend to gag a little whenever someone tells me they are "independent" because what it really means is "I believe every whack conspiracy theory there is."

49. A paranoid person is quite likely to avoid affiliating himself in writng
with one group or another.
He went to the event to kill a Democrat. How much more do we really need to know about his political leanings?
Some people register Independent because they don't want their political beliefs to be made public. This would be especially likely in the case of someone who does not trust the "government."
Arizona has closed primaries, but if Loughner was a Limbaugh fan, he might have registered Independent on the mistaken belief that he could then cross over and vote as Limbaugh was instructing people to vote. Remember that?

22. Misspelled "Independent?" Sounds like a teabagger to me.

35. Wasn't it already confirmed he's a registered Republican?
Somebody posted a form a couple days ago from the Secretary of State's office showing he is a Republican. I don't know where Pima County is getting its info from.

46. So? His writings speak volumes. He listened to Bleck (sic) and the rest of those
asshole bigmouths on the right wing crazy end.

The truth has no place in the left's arguements.

So which "asshole bigmouths on the right wing crazy end" did he draw inspiration from to murder and wound eighteen other random strangers? I haven't seen any of you smartasses drop that into the equation.

I thought it was the independents who put BHO into office.

Yeah, I thought being "independent" was cool and centrist and moderate and A-OK with the Left.
Oh, that's right, only when it's a liberal independent. A conservative independent is still a dirty, stinking conservative.

Quotations would be helpful too.

They're bound and determined to convince themselves regardless of how much reality slaps them in the face. Oh, note to lurkers: the squishy middle those oh-so-moderates generally call themselves independent...most wait to see which way the wind is blowing and bend in that direction. Those of us on the right consider ourselves CONSERVATIVE first.

If the story doesn't stick one way,....twist it to "try" to make it stick another way.
That's the DUmmie/liberal way.
