| Even Republican Elizabeth Hasselbeck described Palin's *crosshairs* as "despicable." |
This morning I viewed Jared Lee Loughner's youtube videos, and I can conclude from them:
- He's anti-government
- He's looks to be a gold nut because of his strange "currency" revelations (and who has almost all "gold" sponsors of his TV show???)
- He's into logic fallacies (ha ha)
Jared, at 22, seems to have not really developed a cogent political view; but that "person of interest" who may have been with him, described as a 40-ish white male, may have had solidified political views if he was indeed involved. We have yet to find out. One of my favorite websites points out, however:
Rethugs & FOX say: "More guns, more guns,more guns for everybody! Obama is a traitor! Democrats want to give America to bin Laden, Democrats are a threat that must be stopped! More guns, more guns, bigger clips, fewer laws, Obama is a Kenyan Muslin, out to destroy us!
Then some Teabagger answers their call and they say, "Who me?" after he fires into a woman's head.
As always, a bit over the top, maybe, but well said, Bart! Although I disagree on the "Teabagger" part. It doesn't have to be a teabagger who answers their calls; it can be a deranged person (who could be apolitical) who hears the teabaggers' messages and answers their call.
Postscript: News updates since the publishing of this post have revealed that the "person of interest" was but a cabbie who unknowingly drove Loughner to his fateful destination of John-Hinckley-dom, and was videotaped obtaining change...which leads me to wonder, since this kid lived with his parents: who's financing him? He had just bought ammo, and he bought the gun in November for $500. He did drugs, and obviously with his wierdo videos on youtube, had a computer. Yet it's been said he was unemployed, dropped out of high school and college, and was rejected by the armed forces (because he tested positive for drug use).
Postscript to Postscript: I just wonder if Palin will somehow manage to come out smelling like a rose on this one. At this point, I'd say all bets are off.
