Yeah, they got the guy. Who the hell knows what this is about?
I honestly hope it's not some birther, tea party nutjob. But with everything that's been going on in Arizona lately, it very well could be.
Wait and see, even if the news media didn't (MSNBC: Tea Party!, Fox News: Immigrant!) because for all we know, its just another loser asshole who mistakes fame (or more precisely infamy) for better self-esteem. Like Mark David Chapman.
I just know the Palin fansites, PACs, etc., are taking down those "target" ads.
His website content includes references to "federalist laws" and "brainwashing" and "illiterate" and having no faith in money that is not backed by gold and silver.
"Generosity. That was my first mistake." "Experience must be our only guide; reason may mislead us." "Instagram is Twitter for people who can't read."
The gunman is identified as Jared Lee Loughner, and (allegedly) this video came from his YouTube page. Clearly somebody that should have been in a four-wall padded room:
Evidently her husband is an astronaut, who just arrived in AZ now.
Also, President Obama is due to speak any moment, followed by Governor Brewer and Nancy Pelosi.
What a horrible horrible situation.

Just a brief follow-up for those interested. The detective in AZ just gave a news conference and apparently there is a 2nd "Person of Interest" that they are looking for. He referred to him (her) as that, not saying they were looking for a suspect.
Also, he said that the Congresswoman "was" the target. He apparently (and understandably) got a lawyer and is not talking.

so, the shooter wanted to assassinate mccain, but instead went after giffords, as well as innocent bystanders. i hope this son of a bitch actually gets the chair, and not rot in jail.
Assassinate McCain?? I didn't hear that. He hasn't been mentioned at all that I've seen.

Edit: Oops I referred to her as Senator. I believe she's a congresswoman. Thus, no McCain. Sorry. I'll edit

This morning they are announcing that they are looking for a second "person of interest." They showed a picture; male, white 40 something. They are not saying he is a suspect at this time.

I saw that too on HP. What is wrong with these people??? These are the same nutjobs who protest at funerals of gay service people. Lots of hate out there.

The poor little girl who was killed was born on September 11, 2001.
Man, I try not to put too much stock in bad luck, but that poor kid was born to a tragic national event, then died in one.
I heard earlier that this little girl went with a neighbor to see the Congresswoman. Talk about being there by chance. Just like the Judge who got killed. Evidently he was just stopping by.

Leaked DHS Memo hint to Anti-Government/Anti-Semitic Conspiracy behind Massacre?
Quote:
...strong suspicion is being directed at AmRen / American Renaissance. Suspect is possibly linked to this group. (through videos posted on his myspace and YouTube account.). The group’s ideology is anti government, anti immigration, anti ZOG (Zionist Occupational Government), anti Semitic. Gabrielle Gifford is the first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government. She was also opposite this group’s ideology when it came to immigration debate.
They're going to picket the funeral of a 9 year old girl?
You know, how big can that "church" actually be?
I know this is wrong, but I'd fucking LOVE to see someone go postal on them. Take out a dozen or so members and burn their church to the fucking ground. Then picket their funerals, and spit on their families .
"I got news for you. If it wasn't for the toilet, there would be no books." --- George Costanza.
To say they are a disgrace and that the hate they propagate is a horror is the world's greatest understatement.
I can't imagine what that little girl's parents are going through, or any of the families, for that matter. May God give them the strength to get through this somehow.
Loughner's statements tied to far right-wing conspiracy theory?
Jared Lee Loughner’s rants about grammar and mind control track closely to the writings of a conspiracy theorist who believes that is how the government controls the populace, one leading group says – and the man tells POLITICO he agrees with some of Loughner’s statements.
The far-right activist, David Wynn Miller, said in a telephone interview that he didn’t know Loughner, but agreed with his statement in a YouTube video that “the government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar.”
This morning, I saw the parents of little Christina Green interviewed. She was the 9 year old girl killed in the shooting massacre on Saturday. Her parents managed to hold it together very well, and I was so impressed with their courage. Then, the reporter asked them if they felt that Christina was looking down on them, and the father simply started to cry. It was the most heart-wrenching thing I've ever seen.
The neighbor who took Christina to the Meet and Greet was also shot. She was shot three or four times - leg, abdomen and chest, I believe. She has been stabilized and is expected to recover, but her family said they don't know if she'll ever mentally recover from being the one that took Christina to the event.
I also saw the son of Phyllis Schneck, the 79 year old retiree killed that day, tell the story of how the local police came to his door on Saturday evening to break the news. He had been trying to reach his mother all day when he realized that the shopping center was so close to her home. He was on the phone with his sister when the doorbell rang, and he said he just knew that it was bad news about their mother.

She probably won't, and neither would I.
No reassurance from anyone, including Christina's family could ease the guilt of having been the one to have physically brought her there. It is aweful, but simply human nature.
Makes me think of every time I have taken a friend's child into my care, shopping, a movie or whatever...and fully expecting to bring them home safe and sound a few hours later. For this poor woman it wasn't to be, and my heart goes out to her.
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
Yea, how surprising. Beck comes to the defense of the mama grizzly. Don't retreat reload right?
Anyway RR, I heard something about another congressman/senator being threatened that "you;re next". Have you heard anything about this? I am positive all these threats will HAVE to be taken seriously.
Nutjobs coming out of the woodwork.
