Newsweek Stubbornly Pretends Loughner a 'Lone Wolf' Right-winger

Newsweek: DHS tried to warn us about attacks from right-wing extremists, didnt they?
The title of the piece, printed above a photo of Loughner’s home and the now famous crazy-eyes mugshot: “The Missed Warning Signs.” Am I awake? Two years before the Tucson massacre, the Department of Homeland Security warned in a report that right-wing Extremism was on the rise and could prompt “lone wolves” to launch attacks. But the agency backed away from the report amid intense criticism from Republicans, including future House Speaker John Boehner. The report...

Hillary Clinton Insists Giffords Shooting A Form of Extremism
DOHA, Qatar (AP) - The attempted Assassination of Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was apparently motivated by her assailant’s political views, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday, calling the lawmaker’s shooting “a form of Extremism.” Clinton said she believed the man accused of gravely wounding Giffords, Jared Lee Loughner, crossed the line from expressing an opinion to violent action, which she called a “hallmark” of...

Unreal: Newsweek Says Discredited 2009 DHS Report on Right-Wing Extremism Could Have Stopped Giffords Gunman
With one glaring problem in Newsweek’s rush to blame the right, the killer is severely mentally ill with leftist beliefs. (Newsweek)- Two years before the Tucson massacre, the Department of Homeland Security warned in a report that right-wing Extremism was on the rise and could prompt “lone wolves” to launch attacks.

Newsweek blames Giffords shooting on failure to crackdown on right-wing extremists
Newsweek thinks the discredited 2009 DHS report on right-wing Extremism could have helped stop Giffords' shooter Jared Loughner. The problem with this ridiculous theory is Jared Loughner is a left-wing lunatic according to people who actually knew him. (Newsweek) — Two years before the Tucson massacre, the Department of Homeland Security warned in a report that right-wing Extremism was on the rise and could prompt “lone wolves” to launch attacks.

This is why Palin '12 just won't work
It has been widely assumed that Sarah Palin's response to Gabrielle Giffords' shooting would be a pivotal moment for her viability as a 2012 Presidential Candidate. Now Palin has finally broken her silence, with a seven-minute videotaped message released this morning -- one that, more than anything, will probably give Republicans yet another reason to look elsewhere for a '12 Candidate. As is the case just about every time Palin sounds off on a major topic, the result has been instant and bitter...

Hillary: In his own way, Loughner was a political extremist
Via Breitbart. Oh, Hillary. Hillary, Hillary, Hillary. “Based on what I know, this is a criminal defendant who was in some ways motivated by his own political views, who had a particular animus toward the congresswoman,” Clinton said. “And I think when you cross the line from expressing opinions that are of conflicting differences in our political environment into taking action, that’s violent action, that’s a hallmark of Extremism, whether it comes from the right, the le...

Before RFK Jr. blames right-wing for murder, he should apologize for his own life-endangering rhetoric
You knew this was coming. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a treasure trove of inanity, whether he's shilling for brutal dictators like Hugo Chavez, blaming Reagan for 9/11, or wrongly arguing childhood Vaccines are responsible for Autism even as whooping cough, measles, mumps and other preventable and deadly childhood afflictions come roaring back. (The scientific evidence behind RFK Jr.'s concerns about vaccination was just revealed to be a total Fraud, for what that's worth.) So here he is weighing i...

House honors Giffords, shooting victims
The House is paying tribute today to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the Victims and heroes of the Arizona Shooting Spree with a resolution expressing its grief and outrage. "What this institution needs right now is strength -- holy, uplifting strength," House Speaker John Boehner said, at times weeping openly.

The Left's History Of Violence
The surest way to become a folk hero on the Hard Left is to kill a human being. As Mumia Abu-Jamal, Joe Hill and Huey Newton could have attested, Murder trumps even Treason for establishing radical credentials. You certainly don’t get invitations to deliver commencement addresses, become the subject of folk songs, or hang with the likes of Marlon Brando and Jane Fonda by protesting a traffic ticket. Taking the life of another person elevates a radical to cause celebre status like nothing ...

Archbishop Chaput Honors Life of Slain Judge John Roll
Get alerts when there is a new article that might interest you. “John Roll was, finally, a man of unusual personal graciousness,” [Chaput] remarks. “Despite their political differences, Judge Roll and Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, a Democrat, had a cordial relationship of mutual respect.” Precisely because of their differences, the Archbishop says, Judge Roll tried to greet Giffords at her local appearances whenever he could. “On the morning of his death, Judge...

Sarah Palin, David Wynn Miller, and the Ministry of Truth
The conservative/Republican version of Orwell’s Ministry of “Truth” is at it again, hijacking and corrupting yet another set of words — this time it’s “blood Libel”. As DailyKos diarist HeidiEight notes, it’s not just Sarah Palin doing it, but also John Hayward of the rabidly right-wing mag Human Events (see screen shot above), right-wing blogger and now Wall Street Journal writer Glenn “Instapundit” Reynolds, and right-wing blogger And...

House Puts Partisanship Aside After Giffords Shooting
This week, Congress was set for a rhetorical battle over Healthcare Reform and federal spending. But Partisanship, at least within the Capital, has taken a back seat to national grieving. In response to the shooting in Tuscon, Arizona, which left six people dead and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition, Congressional leaders have delayed all major votes until at least next week. [Photo Gallery: Gabrielle Giffords Shooting in Arizona.] On Wednesday, Congress didn't debate a bill to rep...

Colleagues Pay Tribute to Rep. Giffords
Yahoo! Buzz Rep. Gabrielle Giffords likes chocolate, especially peanut M&Ms and those little Hershey’s nuggets with almonds and toffee. That might be the most personal detail House members have shared about the Arizona Democrat during the nearly four-hour tribute to Ms. Giffords and the other Victims of the weekend shooting rampage in Tucson, Ariz. And it came from a Republican. Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert , who’s known for his occasionally outlandish partisan barbs, told the chamber...

Hillary Clinton now claiming Jared Loughner acted politically
Hillary Clinton now claiming Jared Loughner acted politically And yet another filthy leftist chimes in, with no evidence, drawing the using progressive liberal conclusion. Certainly it wouldn’t be from his 9/11 Truther, atheist, politics would it? I still stand by the notion that the nut Loughner acted out of being nothing but a complete nut. No political ideology motivated him. But if by some slim chance he did, his ideology is easily aligned with the left. It don’t know many 9/11...

I Blame Jared Lee Loughner
The man who should burn for the crimes of Jared Lee Loughner is Jared Lee Loughner. Not Rush Limbaugh, who said yesterday that Democrats are supporting the man who shot a Democratic congresswoman in the head: "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 v...

The Politics of Hate
Violence and politics are two very dangerous things to mix. Unfortunately, this has occurred on 01/08/2011, as Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot outside an event. Six innocent bystanders have lost their lives and the Congresswoman continues to fight for her own. The shooting is attributed to a young, Lone Wolf type, with the terms “mentally ill” and “deranged” being bandied back and forth. However, based on the profile of the individual who was targeted, there is ...

Palin, Like Most Conservatives, Fails To Understand The Controversy
Sarah (Reload) Palin has finally responded to the criticism of her use of crosshairs in an ad featuring Gabrielle Giffords but, like other Conservatives weighing in, shows she totally fails to understand what the Controversy is about. This is not about whether this particular graphic precipitated the crime or whether Sarah Palin is personally responsible. This is not the criticism being made, and not what the liberal blogs have been talking about. The concern on the left goes far beyond the cr...
