BREAKING: Rep Giffords (D-AZ) shot in head point-blank

08 Jan 2011 23:43 #111 by LadyJazzer
I've got copies of three different versions of the Bible, a copy of the Book of Mormon, a couple of books on Comparative Religion in my home... This is just a wild guess, but do you think that makes me NOT an atheist? I also have copies of "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Fountainhead".... Do you, in your wildest dreams, think that makes me one of Ayn Rand's "objectivist" followers??? This crap about someone "having books about _____" or having certain titles on their reading lists does NOT mean that they subscribe to the ideas therein. I, like many others, read a LOT, and I read about stuff I disagree with because it's the best way to know WHY I disagree with it...(not to mention it's the best way to put forth arguments against something I disagree with.)

The fact that he had both The Communist Manifesto AND Mein Kampf simply means that he's probably read them.

so maybe a left/right wing nut? Whatever...he appears to be a very disturbed young man, at least that is what seems to be coming from all the interviews I have seen so far with those people who knew him, though no one appears to have known him very well.


I'm going with disturbed. Shooting 19 people and killing a 9 year old girl at near point blank range pretty much proves that.


The Army agrees with your assessment.

But an Army official told Fox News Loughner attempted to enlist in the Army in December 2008 but was denied.
The Army provided this statement:
"The Army has confirmed that the suspect was never in the Army. He attempted to enlist in the Army but was rejected for service. In accordance with the Privacy Act, we will not discuss why he was rejected."

There is a difference in having a copy of a book and having the book listed as a favorite. This liberal educated whacko said that Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto were his favorites on his Myspace.

watch the "liberal" educated stuff....the high schools and colleges here are known for being VERY conservative......we are a conservative state, much to my dismay, and the education here stresses that.

The whole idea that you can label this nut case right or left is absurd.......none of you know squat about him, and neither does anyone else right now. Interviews with those who knew him have been all over the map.....he's a liberal....no he's not, he hated the current gov't.....then no he didn't....he obviously didn't care for the congresswoman, a democrat. It's crazy to try and pigeonhole him just yet.

Don't chastise me...call out the carpet sniffing libtard first and then I might give you some credence - until then STFU.

If any school is teaching "Conscience Dreaming" as a course, it needs to be cancelled.

It looks to me more like the work of a madman than one who is politically Right or Left. But I am going to wait for more news before deciding anything.

I want to express my concern for all the innocents atacked today. Sad, very sad, especially the 9 year old student council member.

One more point, I hope our representatives show courage and continue to meet with the people of their districts.

I wonder LJ, if one of us had insinuated that the shooter was a Muslim before having any evidence, would you have had anything to say about it? Would you think the accusation was irresponsible and hateful? I also wonder if you will be offerring an appology once it is proven that the guy was just a nut, not a "teabagger", or Republican, nor a conservative? I think we all know the answer to that already.

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

What makes you think that "none of you" refers only to you RT? Are you really that self-centered?

Ask yourself how many of these votes will have negative consequences for those who are in the womb, the crib, K-12, college, entering the work force, exiting the work force and even the loved ones of those entering the grave. Ask yourself how many of these votes are the antithesis of this document.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson


I guess this is a bit beyond the average mudslinging on this subject. The universe is a strange unforgiving thing. Those that believe in karma will agree that this act was not directed at American patriots. Two lives lived with a level of arrogance that they know better than the hoi polloi suddenly experienced kickback from the universe.

Regarding collateral damage. We are again treated to the double standards that the left continually preach to America. The fact that a child dies is not as important to them as the method by which the child died. Some liberal politician behind the wheel of a car? No big deal. Bus driver who runs a red light, hell give them a pass, but take away their CDL so people can't say you didn't do anything. But the guy with the gun? Kill his family and their families because they have to be Republicans and take everyone elses guns away from them.

Two people on go out on New Year's eve and get drunk. "A" (who is an illegal immigrant)gets in a car and drives drunk, causes an accident and kills a family including a 3 year old. "B" ( a 45 year old white guy) gets a ride home from friends and than at home proceeds to pull out a pistol and fire 2 rounds into the night sky. One of the falling bullets lands in the mud the other finds home in the foot of a teenager partying with friends at the park.

Who is guaranteed time behind bars?
