Well, it sounds like the guy REALLY wanted his tax cut.

A serial threatener.

B-b-b-but he's 100% personally responsible for this, right?

Ziggity on January 12, 2011 at 11:08 AM

he's from california, so he must be a liberal. those looney lefties, who will they threaten next?

Hope they lock him up with Tom DeLay.

I'll believe it's not the rhetoric once they start arresting people for threatening Republicans.

Joe Szilagyi on January 12, 2011 at 11:27 AM

Well, you'd think that someone motivated by rhetoric to kill any politician would verbalize his rage during the attack. Odd that Jared Loughner didn't say a word during the schooting according to the witnesses.

No, not the right wing rhetoric at all. Just random looniness! All these threats against Democrats at just a coincidence!

sarcasm aside....@7 actually, no I wouldn't think that. I would think they would be concentrating on shooting their gun before someone could stop them.

Nothing like a bit of reality to jolt this loser out of his Fox News fantasy world. More reality please.

@7: like john wilkes booth's "sic semper tyrannus"? loughner shot 30 more bullets. no time to talk.

Max Solomon on January 12, 2011 at 1:23 PM

@7

If you would bother to read the reports, then you would know that Loughner met the congresswomen before and verbalized his hatred then. But like anyone with a tiny brain, she squashed him and he turned to violence.
