Ok, Sheriff Dupnik, and the left, you can end your witch hunt now...

You really do enjoy being abusive, don't you? Nobody is responsible for what that unbalanced young man did except himself. I am not sure about lies about Sarah Palin, though. She did not shoot anybody, but she did place that Congresswoman in the cross hairs of a rifle scope. It was certainly poor judgment to do so, and she should apologize and correct it. Instead, she has lashed out with verbal abuse (again). I think I understand what you are trying to say, in between the invective and abuse you enjoy so much. If you are saying that right-wing rhetoric did not cause this unbalanced man to shoot people, you are correct.

ParaTed2k, I blame a toxic political atmosphere that has been fostered and yes ushered into this nation by those who have questioned the legitimacy of our present government. In an exclusive interview by Nick Baumann of Motherjones.com, Tierney (Loughner's friend) makes these statements: "when I heard Babrielle Giffords has been shot, I was like 'O my God ..." for some reason I felt like I knew .. I felt like if anyone was going to shoot her, it would be Jared." According to Tierney, Loughner did believe that government is "... us over." " It wasn't a day-in day-out thing, but maybe once in a while, if Giffords did something that was ridiculous or passed some stupid law or did something stupid, he related that to people." This particular interview is very long and detailed ... Tierney also states that if people want to know about why Loughner did what he did that there is a diary .. a "sunshine diary" belonging to Loughner that will give that information. In this same interview, Tierney states "he wanted the media to freak out about this whole thing. He wanted exactly what's happening."

I cannot understand how they get the idea that Sarah Palin and the right . The Tea Party ever influenced this evil man to murder those five adults and especially that innocent nine year old girl, He did not watch tv, radio, or get his info from The news. So how did they get through to him ? Did they use thought transference. Are Sarah and the right I'n reality evil space aliens? That makes as much sense.

The facts are in that garbage bag he took out and got rid of before he committed murder. Until the day officials find that bag the truth of why may never be known. No one tells their friends everything about the way they feel or what is going through their head especially someone who is planning murder.

I remember a couple of decades ago when journalists verified facts before they presented them and avoided speculation. They actually had editors that went over their material before it was published or read on television and nixed it if it strayed from hard facts. A lot has changed.

They won't apologize to Palin or anyone one else they blamed that was not the shooter. You can say it is not palin's fault all you want. You are right. But they won't admit it because it does not fit into their "attack Palin" plan. According to them she is to blame for everything and nothing you say will change that. They grasp at any opportunity no matter how irrational to trash or blame the "other" side...but never bother to look and see how much "they" are a big part of the "problem" of the "horrible political climate".

It needn't be so complicated. He shot and killed and wounded X amount of people and should just be charged. All, if any other details should come out in court. Until then, he shot and killed and that is all we neec to know for now. If others are involved then it will be figured out.
