Chas, I agree. This most likely was a deranged individual acting crazily for what he thought was right. However, the confrontational and divisive news reporting in the United States can certainly be drawn into the equation particularly in a state that has been in such a crazed political environment as Arizona in the past year or two.

If you view the crapola he has posted to the net, I think about the only conclusion that can be truly drawn is that the shooter is mentally ill.

His Youtube video did have a bit of a Pink Floyd vibe going on.

Kinda like Syd Barrett meets The Wall.

That said, a wacko like this wouldn't be incited by civil discourse.

Good God Chas, Sarah made her a target, many people predicted this would happen as a result.

Of course the kid is nuts but that is exactly who Sarah was talking to.

They, Fox News, Sarah Palin, the Tea Baggers, had everything to do with it. Why do the people on the right scream personal responsibility and never accept any?

I blame you for your hate filled posts. You need to take responsibility for this wacko's actions. It's your values that sent him over the edge.

For the record when you asked me and I replied as such it was because you were playing the "what do you mean Fox and teabag talk is responsible?" game.

I have no clue what your reference to Serling is about.

at this point I don't care.

I can't believe the first response from the right is totally void of responsibility, ever here where I would expect more.


alright, I am done here.

Come on Noon, I suspect this guy would have rather shot Palin. I also suspect that he spend more time listening to the voices in his head than Fox News.

Now let's suppose for a second that his actions were politically motivated, which they undoubtedly were. Did he shoot Giffords because she was too liberal, or too conservative? And how about the Republican judge, I understand he wasn't even scheduled to be there? And the nine year old girl, what was his beef with her? And everyone else?

I also understand that a couple of his favorite books were The Communist Manifesto and Mien Kampf. Not exactly on the baggers book of the week list, do you think?

You might not be so quick to disparage the rhetoric from the right, this lulu may have been more influenced by the rhetoric from the left.

You guys on the left can stir up shit with the best of 'em. Tea Baggers, it's good to see that you fellows haven't bowed at the alter of political correctness.

Yeah... I guess so. It's so hard to find a competent assassin!
