Loughner Parents: Sorry About Those Murders (ignore that skull in the back yard??)

Kurt Klukowski: Put blame where it belongs in Tucson tragedy
Now in the wake of the tragedy that left the Arizona Democrat gravely wounded and six others dead - including a Federal Judge, a congressional Staffer, a nine year-old girl, and an elderly gentleman who shielded his wife with his body, sacrificing his own life - the Far Left can’t restrain itself from intruding upon Tucson’s grief. Banning guns and silencing dissent is not the solution, and Conservatives are not to blame. It started with Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, a D...

A Fool With a Badge is Still a Fool
Michael Reagan, FloydReports.com When a would-be assassin shot my Dad, President Ronald Reagan, nobody questioned the fact that the shooter was certifiably nuts. Authorities recognized that fact and put him in a mental institution as his obvious disturbed mental state demanded. Now we have another attempted killing of a public official, Arizona’s widely admired Rep. Gabby Giffords, and just about everybody recognizes the fact that the shooter, one Jared Loughner, is crazy as a loon. Moreover...

Why Won't Sheriff Nifong Release Documents on Loughner?
For a guy who's just so sure Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin had something to do with the shootings in Tucson last Saturday, he sure seems like he's got something to hide.

Sheriff Joe to Sheriff Dope-neck: Shut Up or Resign
The two neighboring sheriffs in Arizona,  Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, and  Clarence Dupnik of Pima County, could hardly be more different.  Yesterday, UNCOVERAGE.net called for the dismissal/removal/Resignation of Clarence Dupnik due to his extremely political and baseless statements blaming the Tea Party, Sarah Palin and Talk Show host Rush Limbaugh for “vitriolic” political Rhetoric which Dupnik claims caused Jared Loughner to Murder six people in Tucson this week...

The Right Word: Fox and inflammatory rhetoric | Sadhbh Walshe
Rightwing talkshow hosts were horrified by the Arizona massacre - and by the allegations that their fiery Rhetoric may have somehow influenced the shooter. O'Reilly is convinced that the attack was simply the work of an out-of-control "nut job" and was furious with others in the media for suggesting that anyone on the right was in any way responsible for fostering a hostile political environment (View clip here). "The killer Jared Loughner is a psychopath. Civilisation has always had them ...

The Tuscon Tragedy
The massacre at Tuscon was a national tragedy, therefore a national outpouring of condolences is appropriate, but the opportunistic blame game being played by the Democrats is not.
