They'll never admit that though because "guns are baaaad".
How can a "great point" be based on the fallacy that " Liberals at all costs are looking to restrict the right to own, possess, and carry firarms" ?
Go far from either the left or right and you end up in the same place and it's got nothing to do with politics and everything to do with insanity. And what someone reads hardly defines who/what they are so attempting to define this nutjob's poltical leanings by that is just baseless blather.
I agree, Loughner seems to be mentally ill, and if so, you cannot classify him on a left/right political spectrum.
The point is, it was prominent liberals in the printed media, bloggers and cable news who immediately tried to portray Loughner as someone who supports the TEA party, Rush, Hannity, Palin and republican politicians. As irresponsible as it may be, with what we do know about him now, he is closer to the left then he is to the right, which makes what was claimed early on, by the Kurmans and Olbermanns, even more irresponsible.

Maybe it's just to make a point, because the anti-gun types are all on the left? They want to ban guns, but would squeal like pigs if their state banned them from owning any firearm.
Its the same as proposing an additional 5% federal and state income tax on all libs. The majority of the "tax me more" crowd are liberals, but they would whine and moan if we did tax them more.
As democrats go, she was a very conservative democrat, not a liberal. Besides, we do not yet know why he shot her, for all we know it was because she was not liberal enough on some issue, to suit him.
Nice generalization but basically BS! This liberal doesn't give a rat's ass if you have a gun but I do believe if you use that weapon in the commission of a crime like this nut job did you should be hanged, no appeal, no insanity plea, no excuses.
1st.......That is not BS. It is TOTAL BS that you declare yourself a liberal and then say you couldnt give a rats ass if I own a gun.. Your not like ANY of the Liberals I have had countless debates with over gun rights...
Maybe you need to reavaluate where you stand Politically?
2nd..... Who on earth doesnt think someone should be convicted of any crime whether or not a gun was used, and what in the world is the relevency of that statement??
What you think your special because you think this guy should be hung for what he did??
remember its Liberal judges who let pedophiles run free!
It was a Liberal Judge who ordered that a life long criminal serving 3 LIFE SENTENCES in mass deserve to have a parole hearing and it was the LIBERAL PAROL board appointed by the LIBERAL governor who set him free so he could shoot and kill a cop the day after christmas just a few weeks ago.
Dont sit there and pretend like you speak for ALL liberals when you say you couldnt care less if I carry a gun and your all for capital punishment..
the FACTS about Liberals have been proven wildly different..
As democrats go, she was a very conservative democrat, not a liberal. Besides, we do not yet know why he shot her, for all we know it was because she was not liberal enough on some issue, to suit him.
He knew her from 2007, and familiarity with a mental person like what happened with John Lennon meeting his assassin before can mean YOU BECOME THE TARGET of the crazy person.

Prominent liberals? Who? Or just so-called media personalities?
And just WHERE is the evidence " he is closer to the left then he is to the right " ? Just how does one locate a psychotic on the political spectrum?
