oh boy.
Suspect in attack on congresswoman acted alone - Yahoo! News
Why is he being charged with "attempted assassination" is this a federal type of charge??
"One of the victims was Christina Taylor Green, who was a member of the student council at her local school and went to the event because of her interest in government. She is the granddaughter of former Philadelphia Phillies manager Dallas Green.
She was born on 9/11 and featured in a book called "Faces of Hope" that chronicled one baby from each state born on the day terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people."

WOW
"In early June, Lynda Sorenson, 52, had gone back to community college in Tucson in hopes of getting back on the job market. One of her classes was a basic algebra class--and one of her classmates was Jared Loughner, now identified by authorities as the man who killed six people and critically wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) in a shooting rampage Saturday. Sorenson's e-mails to friends from last summer, provided to the Washington Post, reveal her growing alarm at Loughner's strange and disruptive
behavior in class.
From June 1, the first day of class:
"One day down and nineteen to go. We do have one student in the class who was disruptive today, I'm not certain yet if he was on drugs (as one person surmised) or disturbed. He scares me a bit. The teacher tried to throw him out and he refused to go, so I talked to the teacher afterward. Hopefully he will be out of class very soon, and not come back with an automatic weapon."
From June 10:
"As for me, Thursday means the end to week two of algebra class. It seems to be going by quickly, but then I do have three weeks to go so we'll see how I feel by then. Class isn't dull as we have a seriously disturbed student in the class, and they are trying to figure out how to get rid of him before he does something bad, but on the other hand, until he does something bad, you can't do anything about him. Needless to say, I sit by
the door."
From June 14:
"We have a mentally unstable person in the class that scares the living crap out of me. He is one of those whose picture you see on the news, after he has come into class with an automatic weapon. Everyone interviewed would say, Yeah, he was in my math class and he was really weird. I sit by the door with my purse handy. If you see it on the news one night, know that I got out fast..."
The class's instructor, Ben McGahee, said in an interview Sunday that Loughner had been removed from class in its third or fourth week, because of repeated disruptions."

Democrat Joe Manchin Takes "Dead Aim" at Health Care, Cap-and-Trade
West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin, a Democrat locked in a tight Senate race against Republican John Raese, said on Fox News this morning that he would support the full repeal of health care reform if it couldn't be fixed.
"'Obamacare,' as it's been called, is far too reaching," Manchin said in an interview on "Fox & Friends." "It's overreaching. It needs to have a lot of it repealed...If you can't fix that, repeal the whole thing."
In an apparent effort to distance himself from Washington Democrats, the governor also issued an ad in which he literally shoots at the controversial cap and trade legislation.
Manchin then demonstrates his dedication to the latter by picking up a rifle and shooting a hole through a copy of the bill.

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., one of Congress’ fiercest gun control advocates, is looking to strike while the iron is hot. “My staff is working on looking at the different legislation fixes that we might be able to do and we might be able to introduce as early as tomorrow,”
At the same time, another New York Democrat is blaming the pro-gun community for Saturday’s violent shooting. In a statement Sunday, Rep. Carolyn Maloney exclaimed that “guns kill” and that “those who glamorize gunplay or worship gun ownership do no service to humanity.” does this include Hollywood?
While Maloney and McCarthy are focusing their efforts on restricting access to guns, Pennsylvania Rep. Robert Brady, a Democrat from Philadelphia, is proposing new limits on free speech.
“I am very concerned about my safety and the safety of other members of Congress,” said Rep. Bobby Rush, a Chicago Democrat. “I’ve informed those who are in my midst that they should be much more vigilant.”
Rush said the climate is dangerous for political leaders, particularly for those who have supported President Barack Obama and his policies. He said he doesn’t plan to scale back any public appearances.
I'd argue that living in Chicago is far more dangerous  ....Michele Obama "As a black man, you know, Barack can get shot going to the gas station."
.........................
One veteran Democratic operative, who blames overheated rhetoric for the shooting, said President Barack Obama should carefully but forcefully do what his predecessor did.
“ They need to deftly pin this on the tea partiers,” said the Democrat. “Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma City bombing on the militia and anti-government people.”

.............................
Liberal commentators such as MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, who on a special Saturday evening show said he was sometimes guilty of over-the-top rhetoric, made an impassioned plea for more restraint and civil debate. But he also guaranteed that the political temperature would rise by devoting most of the show to the still-undocumented assertion that conservative political rhetoric helped send someone with a predisposition to violence over the edge.

3. Someone at the gym asking me (when they saw me watching it) if the shooter was a Mexican, just because it was Arizona and that seemed logical to them.

how would anyone know if the shooter was an "illegal" or not? or a tea-partier for that matter?

truly miraculous and you have to wish her and her family the best going forward...maybe it's just me but I read lengthy articles on the Congresswoman and what seem to be hourly updates on her condition and in a very long and detailed article that I just perused, this was the sum and total of the reporting on the other victims...
"Six people were killed when gunman opened fire outside a Safeway store in Tucson on Saturday. Giffords, who investigators say was the primary target, was among 13 people wounded. Giffords remains critical and four patients are in fair condition. One patient was being discharged Thursday."
not another word about the others....as BF said, I hope that we can continue to pray for the best outcomes for all victims and families involved, a lot of lives were turned upside down, many forever.....

Yeah. it's a shame there was no coverage of the 9-year old girl's funeral, or the judge or the man who died shielding his wife.
Front page of CNN yesterday Scott had the first two.
Maybe the other family's do not want a lot of press in this difficult time.
As far as the congresswoman getting a lot of press; it is a pretty miraculous story that she surrvived at all, and being a high-level elected official, makes it a pretty big f'ing story. |

I'm not sure why anybody would be surprised by the political reaction to this story. The drumbeat by the Right evoking the Revolution, of patriots taking up arms to resist an un-American tyrant has been deafening at times.
Regardless of the political associativity (of which there appears to be little) this was inevitable. The Left would be outraged and the Right outraged at the outrage.
Thanks Lewis Black
Although, considering that Giffords did make mention of the Palin cross-hair issue last year, there is a news worthy element to that part of the story.
The one consistent thing in this whole mess is that is made just about everyone look bad aside from the hero's on the scene and in the hospital.
Biggest losers...
Keith Oberman: He was probably the most influential lefty to jump on the "blame the tea" party story. I did see others take the story on with a bit more class. The "left wing bloggers" who really pounced I don't care about as nobody pays attention to them anyway other than right-wing pundits.
Sarah Palin: While she didn't deserve such pointed blame for the tragedy, by hiding in the woods and then releasing a video taped message that was ALL ABOUT HER demonstrated why she doesn't deserve to be taken seriously...for anything. The fact that she couldn't even step up to such a basic teaching moment just shows she's a tool being used by the GOP.
Rush Limbaugh: The fact that he makes 50 Million a year to spew this kind of ridiculous crap is revolting.

What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major political party in this country. He's sitting there in jail. He knows what's going on, he knows that. . . . The Democrat party is attempting to find anybody but him to blame. He knows if he plays his cards right, he's just a victim. . . . That smiling mug shot -- this guy clearly understands he's getting all the attention and he understands he's got a political party doing everything it can, plus a local sheriff doing everything that they can to make sure he's not convicted of murder -- but something lesser.
