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). (NYDN)- A sinister shrine reveals a chilling occult dimension in the mind of the deranged gunman accused of shooting a member of Congress and 19 others. 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.

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...

FBI shows Palin had nothing to do with it
Attention liberals, if you mentioned Sarah Palin in any commentary over the weekend or today about the shooting in Arizona, you owe her an Apology. You are wring. Plain and simple. No ifs, ands, or buts. Political Rhetoric and hyperbole had nothing to do with this national tragedy. Obsession did. And that obsession began long before Sarah Palin was selected as a vice Presidential Candidate.

In praise of connecting the mouth to the brain before using
"American Journalists know how to be exquisitely sensitive when they want to be. As the Washington Examiner’s Byron York pointed out on Sunday, after Major Nidal Hasan shot up Fort Hood while shouting “Allahu Akhbar!” the press was full of cautions about not drawing premature conclusions about a connection to Islamist Terrorism. “Where,” asked Mr. York, “was that caution after the shootings in Arizona?" — Wall Street Journal Initiating violence against government

"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."

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...
