When Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head and
six others were killed Saturday morning by a gunman Jared Loughner,
the left wing smear machine went into high gear. Left wing politicians
blamed the Tea Party (before the gunman was even named), and left wing
hate sites blamed Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh for the shooting, when
it was actually done by one of their murderous own. It’s always one of
their own.
Loughner’s leftwing high school friend, Caitie Parker, remembers him
as a “political radical”: “He was left wing,” she wrote; “As I knew
him he was left wing, quite liberal.”
FOX News has reported that the shooter’s favorite books are the
Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf. Loughner is also reportedly an
atheist. There’s an anti-bible quote in one of his videos: “Every
United States Military recruit at MEPS in Phoenix is receiving one
mini bible before the tests. Jared Loughner is a United States
Military recruit at MEPS in Phoenix. Therefore, Jared Loughner is
receiving one mini bible before the tests.”

Loughner also has a creepy “music video” up on YouTube, in which he is
dressed as a terrorist and burns an American flag. FOX News has
confirmed that the hooded figure in the video is indeed Loughner.

Also, Congresswoman Giffords is a major Blue Dog Democrat — almost so
right wing that she would be considered a conservative in certain
areas. She was on almost every important issue essentially a
Republican. Her only major left position was support of Obamacare.
But on immigration, she is a blue dog. She supports Second Amendment
gun rights and opposed the ban on guns in Washington, D.C. She is also
a very strong supporter of border control.
The left hates her. The DailyKos put up a post on January 6, which has
now been pulled, saying: “My CongressWOMAN [Gabrielle Giffords] voted
against Nancy Pelosi! And is now DEAD to me!”
This shooting is what they teach, this is the poisonous fruit of their
indoctrination. Clearly, Loughner is sick, mentally ill — but suckling
at the lefty teat is deadly poison for the soul.
Loughner’s mental illness is as obvious as his leftism. He wrote that
“the government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people
by controlling grammar.” He also engaged in some deranged rambling
about whether or not he was a terrorist: “If I define terrorist then a
terrorist is a person who employs terror or terrorism, especially as a
political weapon. I define terrorist. Thus, a terrorist is a person
who employs terror or terrorism, especially as a political weapon. If
you call me a terrorist then the argument to call me a terrorist is Ad
hominem. You call me a terrorist. Thus, the argument to call me a
terrorist is Ad hominem.”
Loughner was busted on a drug related charge; the information
concerning his other arrests is unknown. He did, apparently, issue
death threats — though not directly to Gabrielle Giffords. Still, if
he had a record or case pending, why did he have possession of a Glock
17 9mm pistola? According to the Daily Caller, Loughner had prior run-
ins with the law in the form of at least one arrest, according to two
Public Access documents.

This reminds me of Ishmael Ax, the slaughterer who mowed down scores
at Virginia Tech. He had a psychiatric record — overnight stays in
asylums. How did he get a gun? Big government fails us time and time
again.

Despite the evidence of the shooter’s leftwing politics, the leftist
enemedia and culture terrorists are in full assault on the American
psyche, blaming Republicans and our most effetctive leaders, spinning
their bold-faced lies and using this terrible mass murder to destroy
people and the Tea Party.
Hanoi Jane Fonda has blamed the shooting on Sarah Palin and Glenn
Beck. Shame on her and on Arizona State Senator Linda Lopez, who
blamed the Tea Party on FOX news without any basis in concretes or any
knowledge of the identity of the gunman. Shame on Pima County Sheriff
Clarence Dupnik, who said that the shooting was provoked by “the
vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the
government.” Shame on the New York Times’ Paul Krugman, who blamed
“the rhetoric of Beck, Limbaugh, etc.”
Even the Daily Kos’s hate post about Giffords didn’t stop Markos
Moulitsas, the site’s founder, from blaming the shooting on “right-
wing rhetoric.”
They would never make such a public presumption about jihad or the
leftists. Outrageous.
I strongly recommend that left wing defamers and smear merchants tamp
down their evil rhetoric and false accusations. They count on the
right to do what is proper and decent and maintain a respectful
silence (which we always do), while they foam at the mouth with
conspiracy theories and outrageous accusations. They expect us to cede
them the field, so that by the time we get around to correcting the
record, the lies, and the smears — the narrative — is already fixed in
America’s psyche.
Those days are over.

The six dead innocents of the AZ shooting
Michelle Malkin has the grim list of innocent victims who have died as
a result of wounds received during the AZ shootings yesterday.

Not receiving half the attention accorded to Rep. Giffords, is the
tragic death of federal judge John Roll who, unrelated to the shooting
by the madman Loughner, received numerous death threats for some of
his immigration rulings:
John. M. Roll, the federal judge killed Saturday in the Tucson
shooting that critically wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.),
has been at the center of the state's complicated political battle
over immigration.
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/...john-roll.html
In February 2009, Roll received hundreds of threats after he allowed a
lawsuit filed by illegal immigrants against a rancher to go forward.
"They cursed him out, threatened to kill his family, said they'd come
and take care of him. They really wanted him dead," a law enforcement
official told The Washington Post in May 2009.
Threats against federal judges and prosecutors nationwide have been
soaring in recent years. There is no indication he was the gunman's
target, and witness accounts describe the shooter as firing at
Giffords first.
U.S. marshals put Roll, who was appointed to the federal bench by
President George H.W. Bush in 1991, under 24-hour protection for about
a month. They guarded his home in a secluded area just outside Tucson,
screening his mail and escorting him to court, to the gym and even to
Mass.
Roll told the Post in May 2009 that "any judge who goes through this
knows it's a stressful situation" and that he and his family were
grateful for the protection.
Also killed was a 9 year old girl, Christina Greene. Christina was
born on September 11, 2001:
Greene's family says she was vibrant, excited about life, and she was
the "best daughter in the world."
Born September 11, 2001, Greene was excited about the political
process, was on the student government, and went to the Giffords event
Saturday to learn more about the political process, family members
say.
Greene attended Mesa Verde Elementary School. She was the only girl on
the Canyon Del Oro baseball team. She loved the sport, as well as
horseback riding and swimming. She wanted to be a veterinarian.
As aide to the congresswoman, Gabe Zimmerman, died in the attack as
well:
Zimmerman was remembered by friends and colleagues on Saturday night
as friendly, dedicated and good humored.
He was engaged to be married, according to media reports, and had
served as a major point of contact for the congresswoman since 2007.
Zimmerman, who worked out of the congresswoman's Tucson office, was
known by local interest groups for going above and beyond the call of
duty.
Several photographs on the Internet show Zimmerman, who was a former
social worker, smiling with his arms around local community leaders.
Among them was Pat Gould, a support group leader in the local chapter
of the Scleroderma Foundation. With Zimmerman's help, the group was
able to garner Giffords' support for legislation recognizing the
disease.
Also killed in the attack: Dorthy Murray, 76; Dorwin Stoddard, 76; and
Phyllis Scheck, 79. According to a tweet from ABC's Jake Tapper who is
at the hospital, there are still 4 victims in critical condition and 5
in serious condition. Earlier reports that Giffords woke up and
recognized her husband before falling back into unconciousness were
false.
