I don’t know how you guys can immediately jump onto the fact that because Marx was on the favorite books that he’s a leftie. Isn’t the whole notion of a currency backed by silver or gold currently being championed by the right wing cranks? The reading list seems fairly varied to me and isn’t really indicative of anything. It’s like seeing “The republic” on there and saying that it’s all Plato’s fault. Though it probably is 😀
“Tarek Fatah has now joined the Blame Sarah Palin crowd. Most disappointing and very much beneath him.”
Posted by: Robert W. (Vancouver) at January 8, 2011 6:26 PM
Rob, Fatah has been on Dave Rutherford’s talk show several times and he has explicitly denounced and I forget the exact wording at the time but something like “violent jihad”. You can never parse their words too closely though. I became quite skeptical of him after that because I don’t know if he is “moderate” in the sense that he wants to advance Sharia slowly and lawfully. Kind of like a fabian socialist.
Dear Moron Twins (Alex & Ed):
Fact #1: Loughner was a liberal leftie.
Fact #2: Therefore he didn’t support the Tea Party or Sarah Palin.
How then can Sarah Palin be responsible – IN ANY WAY – for the vile actions of this nutcase?
Just so we’re clear, you do know that 2 + 2 = 4, right?!?
One more thing… this guy was just totally insane with no really coherant thought, but he was probably consumed with paranoia caused by all the Tea Party BS about how “government is taking over! We are losing are freedoms!” Thats all garbage, we elected people in ’06 and ’08 who are restoring and safeguarding our freedoms taken away by the last President.
Hey Black Mamba, did I seriously convince you, or were you being sarcastic? It’s pretty hard to tell in writing, you know?
“Dude, all you guys saying that this is in no way Sarah Palin or the Tea Parties fault are idiots!”
How could an argument like that fail to sway me?
Hey Robert! This guy was in no way a liberal! He was Bat-shit crazy with a love of guns, a gold standard, and paranoid bullshit about how this administration is mind controlling us! Sound like Tea Party BS to me! This guy knew ahead of time who he was going after, no matter how crazy he was if he was a nut with more left beliefs, he would’ve gone after Jan Brewer or John McCain. So I think YOUR the one who needs to get his common sense checked.
“You talk about a Facebook page that was apparently just activated, but rely on a freaking Twitter post as if it’s gospel truth.”

Why don’t you go to her Twitter site and see what Catie has to say about the run-up to the November elections?
Catie is a Leftist who started earlier in the day to try and lay the blame on Sarah Palin.
Catie gets credability from me because she’s a dyed-in-the-wool Leftist.
In an interview after her office was vandalized, Giffords talked about being on the targeted list of Sarah Palin, noting “the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that they’ve got to realize there are consequences to that action.”
~jay forbes
Giffords’ office was vadalized by Leftists in a false flag operation.(the glass on the door was broken somehow by someone)
Do I know Leftists did this as fact?
No.
But then my musings have no less credibility than Giffords’ did at the time or now for that matter as no-one was ever apprehended.
All right man I get it, maybe that was a less than eloquent way to express myself. But over the past two years these people have been constantly repeating the same message of how this government is “radical, and evil” and they specifically targeted and threatened dozens of Democratic congressmen/congresswomen over the past two years. Eventually that is going to drive the least mentelly stable among them to violence. There, is that a more reasonable and sincere discussion for you?
Obama has nothing but admitted marxists and radicals as his advisors…there is proof of this in videotape over and over again.
Just putting that out there for people who refuse to acknowledge that fact.
Michelle Malkin has links to Daily Kos articles that also put Congresswoman Giffords “in the crosshairs”….
You lefties in joyful mode here so happy to be blaming Sarah Palin need to look at your own FOR A CHANGE.
http://michellemalkin.com/2011/01/08/horror-arizona-rep-gabrielle-giffords-6-others-murdered-at-tuscon-event/
and p.s. you guys sound like you are barely out of grade school.
Hey Oz, do you really need to take cheap shots at the woman who was just shot! Giffords has plenty of credibility, nobody would risk the scandal of trying to pull off a false flag attack, democrat or republican, if their offfices are vandalized it’s legitimate.
Over at this popular American blog there are many interesting, insightful comments about this tragic day. Here’s a particularly good one:
“I agree with Stacy McCain and Ace of Spades who both have said that there is a particular flavor to the political nut-cases they’ve ever met that is neither left nor right, the conspiracy beliefs and basic oddness of the pattern of concerns seeming to be its own thing rather than an offshoot of either side. Not that a person messed up in that way is automatically violent, but tends to worry about that particular laundry list of things… including their own particular and unique intelligence for seeing what other people ignore.”
Too bad the hate-filled trolls on here couldn’t put aside their political agenda for even one second day and just express some compassion for those who died and their poor, poor families. Too bad indeed. 🙁

Just a thought, people blaming it on the tea partiers is a crock. The Tea Party is not a political party but a movement, a movement of both the left, right, and undecided to take back the government. “Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong” for what it’s worth.
“… and they specifically targeted and threatened dozens of Democratic congressmen/congresswomen over the past two years.”
Such as?
(Not trying to troll-bait; a lunatic with no ties to any right-wing anything has murdered several people, including a Bush 41 appointed judge and a right-leaning Democrat congresswoman. People like Ed are blaming the Tea Party. I want to know how that works.)

Correction: of course Ms. Giffords is not dead.
Hey Soccermom, let me… break it down for you,
Michelle Malkin has no credibility, she is a conservative radical who lies for money and once wrote a book defending the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII.
Secondly, President Obama has no radicals in his administration, what kind of Glenn Beck crap have you been swallowing?
Now a rebuttle towards your “very mature” statement at the bottom: You actually think your some kind of adult here? Pssh! Your just another idiot swallowed up by the hate-fueled dialogue of Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, etc. You know, at least Oz seems like he wants to have a semi-adult conversation about this, even though we probably don’t have much to agree on.
and no mention from these lefties that Republicans get death threats too http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20001362-503544.html
Speculating on the cause of a broken window on a door in abscence of the cause or perpetrator to score polical points was a cheap shot by Giffords at the time.
The fact that she was shot today would have nothing to do with the broken door glass if Leftists hadn’t brought it up in the first place as an example of political violence against her.
Was the broken door glass ever proven to be an example of politcal violence against her?
NO.
Don’t like push back?
Don’t push, Leftists.
No free shots for you Leftists anymore.
Loughner was a crazy Leftist.
Other Leftists tryed to score political points off of this tragedy.
What do they think the political position of the dead 9 year old girl was, Left/Right?
How many free shots have Leftists had over the corpses of 10s of millions of dead babies?
Cheap?
Yeah, in the eyes of Leftists.
All right, this guy was crazy, and to be honest, he was probably going to kill someone at sometime for an equally crazy reason. But because of the Tea Party he was convinced that the government was going to take away all freedom and that the only solution is violence and domestic terrorism as an act of armed rebellion. Oh and about that post by Olde Spice, the Tea Party is not a movement of various political ideologies, it is conservative-minded political tool, and a pawn of multinational corporations to weaken government power so that they can dominate the American working class.
“but because of the Tea Party”. Wow, jump to conclusions much? Your immaturity is showing. Grow up.
just express some compassion for those who died and their poor, poor families. Too bad indeed. 🙁
~Robert W. (Vancouver)
Too bad Giffords’ Daddy had to blame it on the Tea Party earlier today in a kneejerk reaction.
Too bad the Left makes everything, including the air, the water, food, the weather, and all the minutia of our lives a political issue where we have to put humane considerations aside and push back against their lies and struggle to maintain our own lifestyle or lose ground.
Time for some quiet reflection trolls. You are just a couple of baby steps away from being full out nuts like Jared.
Here we are, conservatives saddened at the tragedy that has happened today, no matter what her political persuasion is, and of the other victims.
I can’t help but think that if this happened to Sarah Palin or Glenn Beck there would be progressives dancing in the streets with euphoria. No prayers for the families or condolences extended. You guys just don’t have it in you.
Well Oz, it was obvious in that last bit of your statement your very “passionate” about the issue of abortion. I’m sure you were very pleased to see that “Tiller the Killer” was killed by that evangelical nut that spent all day listening to Pat Robertson and Bill O’lielly.
Now then, in what world was Gifford’s a crazy leftist? She was a very moderate Democrat, her record proves it. Even though her individual case was never resolved, other Democratic congressman caught the conservative extremists that sent them death threats or vandalized there offices. Why would her case in particular be any different?
Ed
You sure seem to know a lot about the motivations of and forces working on this character’s psyche.
Deciphering the following should be a snap:
You create one new currency.
Thus, you’re able to create a third currency.
You’re a treasurer for a new currency, listener?
You create and distribute your new currency, listener?
You don’t allow the government to control your grammar structure, listener?
If you create one new language then you’re able to create a second new language.
If you’re able to create second new language then you’re able to create third new language.
You create one new language.
Thus, you’re able to create a third language.
All humans are in need of sleep.
Jared Loughner is a human.
Hence, Jared Loughner is in need of sleep.
Sleepwalking
If I define sleepwalking then sleepwalking is the act or state of walking, eating, or performing other motor acts while asleep, of which one is unaware upon awakening.

Yep, syncro, lots of Tea Party rhetoric in that rambling missive by Loughner, eh? of course Ed would think the Tea Party was involved.
Tiller the Killer?
Never heard of ’em.
What Soccermom? That’s all you’ve got to respond to me? Hah, yeah and I bet your just “overflowing” with wisdom and experience, you don’t even know me. (To be fair, I don’t know you either.) Now then, nobody would be dancing in joy if any person was shot, I would rather Sarah Palin learn from her mistakes and change her misguided views, nobody wants to see people die. So don’t you dare go around saying that progressives would be happy if conservatives were attacked and killed (which never even happens to them in the first place.)
Ed is a 14-year-old who’s been told this is a notorious right-wing blog. He just wants attention from grown-ups. I say ignore; wait for a better class of troll to show up.
@Oz: That was the nickname Bill O’reilly ever so “tastefully” gave to Dr. George Tiller, one of only four doctors in Kansas that provided abortion services, he was shot in the back of the head as he was kneeling in prayer at his church, he didn’t even see it coming. The murderer confessed that he did not even concern himself with abortion a few years before, but then he started watching evangelical Tv, and Fox News. So there, now you’ve heard of him.
Hey Black Mamba, I hate to burst your bubble but I’ve never heard of this place before, I was just surfing the internet about this tragedy, and this was just something that showed up on google a few pages down. But it sure has become apparent to me that this is just a right wing blog. And hey, instead of guessing how old I am, maybe we could just discuss the issue here. The only reason I started posting stuff on this site is because I saw a few people saying that Laughner was a liberal, and that somehow Paul Krugman was an extremist to be equated with Limbaugh, Hannity, or Beck.
Now then, nobody would be dancing in joy if any person was shot
No, they only do it when planes are flown into skyscrapers full of people, but they surely would have done it if George W. Bush had been shot.
What do these people have in common?
They vote Democrat(liberal) when they live in liberal democracies.
Also, they’re only ‘pro-government’ when Liberals(socialists) are in government.
By-the-bye, Giffords was first elected to Congress in 2006.
Why wasn’t she shot until today when she has virtually no power in a Republican majority controlled congress?
Politically, her vote was nearly meaningless.
Why wasn’t she shot earlier when Dems controlled Congress when it may have mattered politically?
All right Soccermom, that piece of Laughner’s crap makes no sense, it’s all mindless rambling of an extremely mentally imbalanced man. But I went through the pain of watching all of his insane rambling, and he was obsessed with government taking over our lives, returning to a gold standard, and gun ownership. Secondly, you can’t go around saying that he was some sort of liberal leftist. He was a murderer.
Liberal trolls are not only more degenerate than we imagine, but more degenerate than we can imagine. Railing, ranting and raving ain’t proof of anything.
I suppose obama hasn’t said anything because he doesn’t know who the backlash (that never happens) will be against – whites? republicans? democrats?
Before I say anything else, I have to say, it sure isn’t easy going three to one. Just me arguing with Oz, Black Mamba, and Soccermom.
Hey Black Mamba, I hate to burst your bubble but I’ve never heard of this place before
Did you know, Ed, that his is a Canadian blog which, back when there were blog awards, was voted the number one(#1)Conservative Blog in the whole English speaking blogosphere?
Even though she is now in the minority Oz, that doesn’t mean that crazies won’t target and attack her. She beat her Tea Party opponent in a narrow election in a swing district. That would surely upset the insane people in the district, that Oz, is why she would be attacked now that she is in the minority (in the House of Representatives at least).
By the way, a Republican Congressman from Arizona said tonight that during the November election his Democratic opponent had posters of him showing a cross-hairs superimposed on his face. This sure shut up Heraldo for a bit.
“Secondly, you can’t go around saying that he was some sort of liberal leftist. He was a murderer.”
Well first off Ed, he is a murderer not was a murderer. He is still alive.
Second I don’t call him a raging leftist. Those leftists who know him personally call him a raging leftist. The people who went to school with him call him a raging leftist.
Ed
But you can ascribe his motivation or triggering to the Tea Party movement and Sarah Palin specifically?
I watched all his videos also and would sure love to hear how you sussed this all out.
Well I don’t spend all day reading blogs from people who may or may not know what they are talking about. Getting reliable information from a blog is like a throw of the dice, not very reliable at all. I usually stick to newspapers, and television. (I live in SC, so don’t think I have any major liberal influence in the newspapers.)
Even though she is now in the minority Oz, that doesn’t mean that crazies won’t target and attack her.
You’re writing like there was more than one crazy there today.
Jared Loughner was one of your crazies, Ed.
He was a Leftist, a Democrat.
The idea that she was under any real threat by Tea Party members is and remains a product of your and the rest of the Left’s fevered imaginations.
Ed
But you know what you’re talking about…right?
I really want to hear how it is you know what you know.
I seriously doubt the statement by Ken, that there were threatening poster of her Republican opponent. That’s just not true. Now then, nobody is calling Loughner a raging leftist, how could he possibly have any beliefs but mad paranoia?
Very sad events, in times like this please resist political points, there are many families hurting right now.
Ah yes, the newspapers in South Carolina have no liberal bias because they never, ever print articles from the AP feed. Right? And a goodly portion of upstate SC is territory of the Charlotte Observer. It’s as much left wing fishwrap as any out there.
Oz, there are police reports of accomplices which have yet to be apprehended. Secondly, this serial killer, this domestic terrorist, is not a product of the left, how could you possibly say that? The only thing that monster believed in was that the government was taking our freedom with mind control.
Ed, at 12:06 (emph. mine):
“Now then, nobody would be dancing in joy if any person was shot. I would rather Sarah Palin learn from her mistakes and change her misguided views.”
I would prefer that you weren’t shot either; I’d rather you come to understand how passive-aggressive your expressions are.
