...So, the allusions are being made even beyond the blogosphere.
I think, given the area, that illegal immigration would be of greater importance for the local community than the larger world of left vs. right. The only evidence from Loughner himself on this is his references to literacy. Again, just think the guy was unstable!
OK, I must've missed that. Unstable is putting it mildly. It's just all so sad...
I was just watching CNN and the Palin/Angle thing was brought up there by Don Lemon. Wolf Blitzer actually cut him off and said that there is no evidence of that as of yet. Watched the "special comment" by Olbermann, and he flat out said that Palin, Angle, the Tea Party, Beck, and O'Reilly were to blame, even if not directly, but indirectly. So, the allusions are being made even beyond the blogosphere.

You seem to have missed the last part of his comment. He also reflected on his own failures in rhetoric and tied all to contributing to acts like this shooting.
You know, I'm as guilty as anyone else on this thread in playing politics, and for that I'm deeply sorry.
Let's just focus on the victims and their families (as well as the shooter's family). This is a tragedy. Let's lay politics aside and seek justice and healing.

It is all so sad and I don't think trying to assign a political view to this unstable young man is the way to go here; especially given the limited information. This is what leads people to distrust the MSM; this conjecture that smacks of a desire to have that juicy story!
Yes, as you so conveniently choose selective quotes....do remember, it was the Left, on here and in the blogosphere who ALWAYS start in with the blame game. That was no different today - wasn't anyone on the right that started it.
Yes, straight out of the box. But it looks like he was a lefty, based on his friends comments.
Based on his friends that haven't seen him in 3 or 4 years. Hummm!
This tragedy IS political. A federal judge overseeing a contentious illegal immigration case was killed and a sitting congresswomen was the target of assassination.

No - did not miss that nor did I miss that he spent so much time on maligning one group's political views that he did not agree with. I would have given him more credence if he had been balanced about his distaste for these kinds of statements. Truthfully, neither side is untouched in spouting hateful speech for the sake of their side. However, in this case, I have yet to see any specific political angle from the action's of this young man.
Mayhap we will find out what made him decide to engage in mass murder. Like I've said before, the little I have seen from his incoherent rantings on youtube, he was just straight up unstable.

By a wacko, who doesn't have a clearly defined political agenda.
