Liberal leanings? You obviously haven't the vaguest idea what a Liberal is.Kilmoll the Sexy wrote:Nick wrote:The people who are trying to distance Palin and the insane right wing rhetoric from this are just being willfully blind. It's the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming "waaaaa I can't hear you."
Palin's latest gibberish, about a "blood libel" is a further crass comment, and I'm amazed she has any support in the US. She really is a nasty cunt of a woman.
The notion that "both sides" are to blame is a peculiarly American argument. And it's one only cowardly centrists are mentalist right seem to get off on. You can assert it until you're blue in the face, but you'd still be wrong. The right/tea party are the ones bringing waving their dicks/guns around the American political landscape - no one else.
If you were not such a complete fucktard, you would have read plenty to tell you that HE WAS ANTI_GOVERNMENT AND NOT RIGHT WING AT ALL. He had no radical right or left wing affiliation and from accounts posted all over the fucking internet, he actually had liberal leanings. Since I know I am just a frothing at the mouth redneck, maybe your stupid mad at the world retarded ass will believe the guy's own friend

rizona massacre gunman Jared Loughner's downward spiral may have been touched off by a broken high school romance and fueled by drug use -- but it was not politically motivated, according to his best friend in high school.
Zach Osler, in an interview Wednesday with ABC's "Good Morning America," said: "He did not watch TV. He disliked the news. He didn’t listen to political radio. He didn’t take sides. He wasn’t on the left. He wasn’t on the right."
Media speculation swirled after Loughner allegedly opened fire at a Tucson rally last Saturday, critically wounding Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 13 others and killing six. Immediately, the Tucson sheriff and liberal pundits and lawmakers chimed in that the shooting somehow was politically motivated and a result of the extreme rhetoric being used by conservatives such as Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.
But Osler said Loughner wasn't shooting at people, "he was shooting at the world."
Osler said he instead suspects that Loughner was motivated by a documentary called, "Zeitgeist: The Movie," which slams currency-based economics.

I'm aware that a severely mentally ill young man carried out this horrible violence, and not Sarah Palin or the Tea Party. All the same, whether you like it or not, this killer, these events and the threats from the far right are connected. I think the point that you, and many other people are missing, is that while Jared Lee Loughner may not have had specific similarities with your common tea party mentalist, the tea party, and elements in the American far right, have plenty of similarities with him.
There are plenty of people beyond the left who find the violent rhetoric to be unsavoury and counter productive. Or that bringing guns to a march may be legal in some places, but it's still a dick move. The fact that the fringe right are so quick to go on the defense is evidence enough, really. A case of "methinks the lady doth protest too much."
