Arizona Massacre Prompts Political 'Cheap Shots'
When Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords collapsed outside the Safeway in Tucson Saturday morning, felled by a hail of bullets that killed six and wounded another 13 innocent people that had come to see her, some were quick to claim that the carnage was the product not merely of the tortured mind and trigger-happy fingers of the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner. Rather, many on the American Left said the horror could be traced to the malign influence of American Conservatives; members...

Get your story straight, MEPS.
I'll have more to say about the tragedy in Tuscon that killed a 10 year-old girl, a Federal Judge, several others, and critically wounded U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ-8) over the weekend. But in the mean time I think DoD needs to figure out which story they are going with. This: In one of a handful of anti-religious, anti-government videos on Loughner's YouTube page, he says "every United States Military recruit at MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) in Phoenix is rece...

Sarah Palin speaks out on Gabrielle Giffords shooting
Sarah Palin broke her silence three days after a campaign ad drew ire - and threats - in the wake of the Arizona shootings. In an email to conservative Talk Show host Glenn Beck, she reportedly said "I hate violence. I hate war. Our Children will not have peace if Politicos just capitalize on this to succeed in portraying anyone as inciting terror and violence." The emails were first reported by Politico. According to the website, her comments were in response to an email from Beck that sa...

The Tragedy of the Arizona Shooting Monday, 01/10/2011 - 1:47 pm by Mike Konczal | Post a Comment There are many ways to look at it, but all say disturbing things about the country.

Giffords environmental advocacy
By now you know the basic story: Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head on Saturday while appearing at a "Congress on Your Corner" event in Tucson. The shooting killed six, among them a federal judge and a nine-year-old girl. Giffords herself seems to be responding to stimuli despite being gravely injured. The suspect, Jared Lee Loughner, is in custody, and while we don't know anything definitive about his motives, many Democrats are pointing out that Giffords -- a Blue Dog in a re...

Limbaugh says Dems playing politics with Giffords shooting
Washington (CNN) - Conservative Talk Radio host Rush Limbaugh offered a vigorous defense of himself and Sarah Palin Monday in response to claims from some media commentators and those on the left that some of their charged statements and colorful language may have inspired the Arizona shootings. "[The media] is unnecessarily stirring up the country in ways that don't merit," Limbaugh said on his radio program Monday. "It's fatuous and silly to even verify and justify these accusations by defend...

Climate of Hate?: Murdered Judge Was w/ Giffords About Illegal Alien Prob
The most notable thing about Saturday’s Safeway massacre, aside from the lives tragically lost, is the plethora of hypocrites and blame-gamer attention whores who’ve predictably crawled out from under their rocks. As I noted Saturday evening, ABC News and the other Mainstream Media outlets wasted no time blaming Saturday’s Safeway massacre by Jared Lee Loughner on supporters of Arizona’s Immigration law and secure borders .  And you’ve seen the rest of the left...

FLASHBACK: Do you remember the Halloween display Leftists put up in 2008 showing Governor Sarah Palin hanged from a rooftop?
Drudge Report yanked this story from the Memory Hole…where Leftists in California put up a “Halloween display” depicting Governor Sarah Palin hanging from a roof, execution style, her hands tied behind her back. I’ve told you repeatedly about a bar here in Boystown named Sidetrack (which actually happens to be one of the best Gay Bars in the world).  Its owners are great guys 95% of the time, but have a weird and twisted obsession against Governor Palin that also man...

Hanoi Jane Pins Tucson Shootings on Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Tea Party
Jane Fonda — who traveled to North Vietnam during the war to propagandize against our Troops and to pose cheerfully with the sort of anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down our pilots — still hasn't finished making her contributions to American politics. The tragic events in Tucson Saturday were yet another opportunity for her to vent her hatred of patriots. Here's what she's been spewing on Twitter: That she can't even spell Beck's first name is an indication of the general cluelessnes...

Tea partiers balk at blame
Phoenix — Tea Party Activists were solemn but defiant at a rally Monday at the Arizona Capitol marking the opening of the new legislative session.

Breitbart blogger cites made-up Facebook profile of Loughner as Obama supporter
The efforts of some to connect the alleged Tucson shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, to the Democratic Party led at least one prominent blogger to cite a fake Facebook profile.  Earlier today Jim Hoft, a blogger for Andrew Breitbart, published a post entitled "Whoops! This Changes Things- Loughner's Hero Was Barack Obama" (Screenshot seen here). The post argued that Loughner was inspired by Obama.  As evidence Hoft cited an Examiner.com post which ultimately cited a supposed Facebook profile...
