"Apolitical" and "perhaps left-leaning" ...seriously????
And, it had to come from someone else after it was YOU that made this attempted smear thread?
Are you going to wait now for someone ELSE to post some weak linkage to Limbaugh?
Your post said that they called the shooter a Liberal...that's TWO people you need to show unequivocally said he was a Liberal.

Yet you've posted NOTHING to prove that they said that.
You're best attempt came from another poster and it was a very weak attempt at that. Saying he was "apolitical or PERHAPS left-leaning" doesn't rise to her stating he WAS a Liberal.
...and we're STILL waiting for the Limbaugh quote.
When you make an accusation and title the thread with an accusation, it is incumbent upon YOU to provide the proof that said accusation even exists.
And now Rush Limbaugh's rant:
Speaking on his radio show Tuesday, Limbaugh said that Loughner was getting the exact attention that he wanted:
"What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major political party in this country. He's sitting there in jail. He knows what's going on, he knows that...the Democrat party is attempting to find anybody but him to blame. He knows if he plays his cards right, he's just a victim. He's the latest in a never-ending parade of victims brought about by the unfairness of America...this guy clearly understands he's getting all the attention and he understands he's got a political party doing everything it can, plus a local sheriff doing everything that they can to make sure he's not convicted of murder - but something lesser."
Pathetic attempt by the right to say Jared Laughner was a liberal... Obviously playing on the dumbing down of their political right-wing supporters...
Hated Bush and would fume at hearing his name.
Loved the Communist manifesto.
Sounds leftist to me.
Still they should arrest the police chief who caused this by not flagging the leftist nutcase so he couldn't get a gun. He had made other death threats earlier to people. Is that someone you give a gun to?

Do you understand what "perhaps" means at all?
Now, as far as Limbaugh goes, where's the quote?
So, I guess you'd have no problems with anyone saying perhaps Palin is somewhat responsible for this tragedy or do you alter the meaning of words to suit your own agenda?
He doesn't state that the shooter is a liberal anywhere in your quote does he?
He says sarcastically with tongue firmly planted in his cheek that the shooter is getting what he wanted, the Left (or Democrats) trying to USE his actions as a club against Conservatives.
If you seriously think that he said the shooter IS a Liberal, then you are barking at the Moon.
I haven't paid attention to the comments except for what has been said in this thread but it does bring out a point:
Anyone, especially anyone in the light of the public who can continue their rhetoric during a tragedy that has national impact is not suited for the job of public office. It shows a greater desire to always win and never know the fine art of stepping back for the whole. The Always Win Syndrome is dangerous in the hands of someone powerful because it knows no boundaries. People of great strength have always known boundaries, they have a sense of what is offensive to others, they have a sense of what is irrelevant and should be left alone and focus on the get it done stuff of their task.
Palin is somewhat responsible for this tragedy or do you alter the meaning of words to suit your own agenda?
She's no more responsible than the West Virginia Democrat that ran TV ads shooting the ObamaCare Bill with a rifle, or Daily KOS's map showing a bull-eye on Giffords, or even Monday Night Football analysts who use terms like Blitz, War, and Bomb in their own commentary.
Did you know that Bob Beckle (a Democratic strategist) takes the credit for first using crosshairs on maps to target certain political districts?

Nice job of quoting out of context. As I thought, you're just fine with accusations of 'perhaps' when it suits your agenda, not so fine when it doesn't.
Just in case you don't understand, a target is passive, cross-hairs are active, and attempting to compare this with football commentary is just plain lame.

Oh so your point was that it should be OK for someone to say that Palin and Limbaugh are "PERHAPS" responsible?
Then again.....
She is no more "PERHAPS" responsible for the AZ shooter's actions as the Daily KOS, Football Analysts, that WV Democrat, and Bob Beckle who says he INVENTED using crosshairs on political maps.
