Palin Put Gunsight on Giffords' District; Now a Colleague Says: "Palin Needs to Look at Her Own Behavior"

Loughner Had Satanic-Like Occult Shrine in His Backyard
But don’t worry, it’s still Sarah Palin’s fault (even though the shooter never mentioned her in any of his insane ramblings).

Hidden within a camouflage tent behind Jared Lee Loughner’s home sits an alarming altar with a skull sitting atop a pot filled with shriveled oranges. A row of ceremonial candles and a bag of pott...

Bill Kristol Says Liberals Attempts to Blame Palin For Giffords Shooting Akin to McCarthyism
More like a modern-day Lynching. A conservative pundit on Monday ripped liberals who have suggested that Sarah Palin is to blame for the shooting tragedy in Arizona. He said there is no proof that Jared Loughner, the suspect, was a fan of Palin or went to her website, which had labeled Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and other Democrats a political target last year; it was illustrated with a graphic of crosshairs that has triggered a political debate. Federal authorities on Sunday filed Murder...

"He Is One Of Those Whose Picture You See On The News, After He Has Come Into Class With An Automatic Weapon"
Email Sent! You have successfully emailed the post. One thing that seems clear about Jared Lee Loughner, the apparent shooter behind the Arizona massacre, is that he is not one of those people where people can say "nobody saw this coming." A classmate of his explicitly saw this coming. "We have a mentally unstable person in the class that scares the living crap out of me. He is one of those whose picture you see on the news, after he has come into class with an automatic weapon. Everyone interv...

David Wynn Miller
The single weirdest, most straight-up nutso thing about John Lee Loughner’s worldview as expressed on YouTube seemed to me to be the stuff about how the government is exercising control over people’s minds via its control of grammar. That, I thought, is a political theory nobody would embrace. And yet the ace reporters at The New York Times found someone who does: This is similar to the position of David Wynn Miller, 62, a former tool-and-die welder from Milwaukee who describes him...

The Morning Plum
* What did Jared Loughner believe? He was a 9/11 Truther who believed that global elites, hell bent on world domination, are in the process of creating a one-world currency. * Did he draw his ideas from the fringe right?
