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.
 

New bonfire but soon will be filled with the hysterical screamings mixed with those trying to do damage control saying no one ever said Sarah was to blame.

1. People recognize mental illness when they see it,
 And in Loughner's case, that mental illness is pretty evident.

 informing the public like they so often do that led to this crisis and threat in the first place.

4. I would say 58% of those polled were watching
 Dancing with the Stars...or some such thing. This dude didn't decide to go to SAFEWAY just to practice his target shooting on real people ..

8. It's political to the point where his "target" was a duly elected legislator.
 He didn't shoot a store owner, a garage mechanic, or cook.

9. Hardly.
 Just because a political person is attacked doesn't mean the motivation was political. 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.
