" This was a classic case of desperately wanting the facts to fit the desired outcome ... " ... This is also a classic case of the left leaning clueless fringe of the main stream media locking step with a few shrill media pundits.

holy brain farts, Mcglynn is an idiot. I used to live there too and it was no different than any other city with any other smear campaign. If you truly think that it was politically motivated, then I have some foil helmets you can buy so the gov doesnt hear your thoughts. I have a weather machine that i am selling...got it from the gov as well. also a few copies of documentaries from michael moore and his lies. Got the internet Al gore invented....anything else you are naive enough to believe???????

hey daddymac, this article is spot on. Just because she is holding a gun doesnt mean she is out to hurt anyone. Have you ever heard of hunting? I laugh at liberals who point the finger at conservatives because a lot of us hunt and own guns. they will come in handy should those terrorists decide to invade our counry, ya think? where will you be when this happens? will you shout your peace lovin tree hugin slogans at them as they take you out? good luck with that.

A "Psycho is a "Psycho", It does not matter what his political views are. People should not think in terms of "Left Wing,or "Right Wing". They should think in a sense of what is right, and was it wrong.

I have to laugh. I'm reading all of these comments, and the liberal whack jobs just refuse to let go. You nuts are on your knees praying to St. Stephen to PLEASE give us another Oklahoma City. Please let there be a violent act by a tea partier so you all can say, "I told you so!!" You all are such hypocrites. I seem to recall when G.W. Bush was in the white house, all of those liberal morons outside calling for his murder! Nah...that's not violet vitriol at all is it? You idiots make me want to puke. This was your last hurrah. America sees you for who you really are now.

Some of those left wingers were right here on IC. About time this website put out a common sense article.

Any mentally unbalanced person who is determined to kill a lot of people will find a way to do it. This guy could've gone on the net and found out how to build a bomb, like McVeigh did, or he could've bought a gun illegally off the street, or he could've stolen one. These "nuts" have time on their hands to figure out a way to get a weapon, or make a "weapon," and to plan - how, when, & where - to kill people. These "headcases" have so many rights that it's not easy to get them into treatment if they don't want to go and haven't committed a crime.

McGlynn, I was actually agreeing with you until you decided that if one does not live in Tuscon, one does not know what one is talking about. That's nonsense, of course. Folks can and do speak out and give opinions on many topics not having been present at the event. And as for Docsgirl; you better cover your head, lass. Ever read anything about the Blue-shirts? Actually, American politics makes me smile. Most Americans are calm and thoughtful folks. As in any other nation, it's the idiots and extremists on both sides that get overheated (in this case, over ridiculously similar parties.) The political parties, if they aligned with European political groups, would be virtually identical in ideology. In Europe, left wing and Right wing do not mean the same thing they mean in the US. And Sarah Palin? Nice looking. Big mouth. But why the vitriol against her alone? It's a bit much, really. To say she had a hand in this tragedy - that's just a load of cr_p.

Many of the death threats continue from the far left..at least one individual went to far that his threat landed him in jail. Such assinine behavior must be curtailed. No sane individual would or could have committed such a crime; and to vehemently blame the tea party or Rush Limbaugh or Sasah Palin is totslly unfair becaude the liberal press will take these unsubstatiated claims to the fore and our stupid 25% will always consider it as fact. For example, take the picture of Sarah Palin included with this article and many of the remarks preceding mine.

How can you write this with a straight face considering the attached picture?

I see apologies coming from the Left as soon as they start from the Right...about 3 days after never. Palin is clown who could have taken the high road, yet chose to press her twisted agenda further by diverting blame and refusing to accept even a slight responsibility. This is not about politic, it is about mental illness and how a system that is has failed. There can be no greater call to socialize medicine then the fact that Loughner apparently did not have the proper care or supervision and was able to perpetrate this heinous, unfeeling and disgusting deed. Well maybe is is about politic...

Yes he's a nut but a slightly right-wing nut, and he took advantage of conservative Arizona's total lack of gun control laws. Sarah is NRA all the way, and a nut herself.
