Figures: Man who shot AZ Congresswoman in the head is a left-wing lunatic

 UPDATE #3: That was fast: Detroit Free Press links Sarah Palin to Arizona Shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ)
**************************************** 

Why post that the guy who shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona? Isn't that just scoring political points off a tragedy? Let just ask this question: what would the establishment MSM be doing if this guy was instead a Tea Partier? Full. Spin. Mode. They wouldn't be labeling this guy a lone wacko, which he probably is. He wouldn't be insane or simply a disturbed person. He would have instead been painted as the very picture of the tea party. As it is, he's no tea partier. He's instead from the left fringe of the Democrat Party - that fringe that we call true communists. Via Instapundit:
His name's Jared Lee Loughner and he seems like a garden variety nut:
Among his long list of favorite books in his YouTube profile are Mein Kampf, The Communist Manifesto, Siddhartha.

Loughner also "favorited" just one video on YouTube, which shows the burning of an American flag and is accompanied by an anti-government screed.
Perhaps most ironically, Media Matter - yes, THAT Media Matters - the political assassins of the left, call for a moratorium on scoring political points from crimes when those crimes are perpetrated by leftists: Save This Tweet For Use In Political Emergency
Please bookmark this post and Tweet for use in the next political emergency, when some criminal act by a nut is used by Media Matters and its progeny to tar and feather the entire Tea Party and conservative movements:
William Jacobson updates that post with this: "This tweet takes on special significance in light of the crude attempts by left-wing bloggers to blame Sarah Palin and the Tea Parties for the shooting of Congresswoman Gabriell Giffords by a mentally deranged shooter." Meanwhile, Daily Kos is scrubbing its website. From Jammie Wearing Fool:
This may be just a coincidence, but a Daily Kos blogger posted this Thursday:

My CongressWOMAN voted against Nancy Pelosi! And is now DEAD to me!
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is dead to me now. I won't lift a finger, make one phone call, nor will i EVER vote for her in the future. And why did she do this? Giffords never told me she was conservative Democrat. And her voting record is okay. Damn.
The screen shot:
I blame such eliminationist rhetoric from the left for today's violence. and that brings me to our community organizer-in-chief who said this in the past (and especially the third one):
"I think it's tempting not to negotiate with hostage takers, unless the hostage gets harmed. In this case the hostage is the American people and I was not willing to see them get harmed," Obama on keeping taxes from increasing, December 6, 2010

"A Republican majority in Congress would mean "hand-to-hand combat" on Capitol Hill for the next two years, threatening policies Democrats have enacted to stabilize the economy," Obama, October 6, 2010
"If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun," Obama in July 2008
"Here's the problem: It's almost like they've got -- they've got a bomb strapped to them and they've got their hand on the trigger. You don't want them to blow up. But you've got to kind of talk them, ease that finger off the trigger."  Obama on banks, March 2009
"I want you to argue with them and get in their face!" Barack Obama, September 2008
"We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us." Obama to Latinos, October 2010
"I don't want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I'm angry!" Obama on ACORN Mobs, March 2010
"We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick." Obama on the private sector, June 2010
Can't wait for the left to blame rhetoric for the crime.

Such a horrible tragedy, and this guys is really unhinged. I don't even think it's his (clearly) leftist beliefs that led to this, he seems to be truly insane.

Guess folks have forgotten the liberal rabble-rousing rhetoric from last week: Piven Rings in The New Year By Calling for Violent Revolution ...
Dec 31, 2010 ... Andrew Cloward and his wife Frances Fox Piven. ... Language she and her late husband Richard Cloward made popular in the 60s. .... The Left Calls for CIVIL UNREST!

Let's Not forget when Obama said "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun"? (WSJ 6/14/2008)

When it comes to the hypocrisy of the Regressives in this matter, two words say it all:

Bill Ayers.

One of his HS friends mentioned Anti-Flag as one of his favorite bands. I doubt that they are a tea-party favorite being a left wing punk band and all.

It is not just "left-wing bloggers" who are pointing to Sarah Palin and the Tea Party. I just listened to WCBS Newsradio 880 - AM from New York City and their 8:00 am report on the crime ALSO mentioned Palin and the Tea Party. This is the CBS flagship news radio station, news - sports -weather 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ... and its signal reaches me in Rhode Island. It's not just NYC!

Sen McCaskill - "...pitchforks..."
Obama - "...punch back twice as hard..."
Baldwin - [something like] "kill...Hyde"
Daley - "...SKS up your butt..."
