Stinky The Clown (1000+ posts) Tue Jan-11-11 08:49 AMOriginal message According to CBS News, 58% of those polled in overnight polling do not think shooter was political. They did not think things like Palin's targets or Angle's Second Amendment Remedies had anything to do with Loughner's rampage.No link; I heard it on the CBS Early Show news.

Had Congressowman Giffords being shot in a robbery gone bad would that be political.It appears the suspect largest issues with the victim was the fact that she wouldn't answer his insane question "What do governments matter if words have no meaning", the fact that according to him the district had very bad literacy and grammar, and a delusion about governments in general.
