MindPilot (1000+ posts) Tue Jan-11-11 04:09 AMResponse to Original message 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."

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?

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.

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.
