Re: Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords Shot In Arizona

I think it might even be simpler than that. Communism and fascism are both about big government. It seems to really boil down to do you favor big government or small.

If you read the Twitter feed (posted by RPB), she was taking classes with him in 2007. He's 22. He would have been 19 then, so I seriously doubt he ever served in the military, much less a tour in Afghanistan. And he certainly wasn't a tea partier. If anything, he'd be more aligned with the communist organizations that are constantly stirring up trouble in this country.
That AZ State Senator was one Linda Lopez. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2653526/posts
She might want to mix in one of those things called "prepared statements". Now that more and more facts are coming out about the shooter I bet she wishes she had that statement back. If not now she will later. She was speaking from the hospital where her friend, Congresswoman Giffords, was being treated. She let her emotions get the better of her and wanted to cast blame on her opponents without getting all the facts first.
A tragedy for all, but yes, there seem to be number people just foaming at the mouth to blame this on conservatives, reference the statements made by Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik. My preliminary research yesterday indicated a strong probability Loughner is anything but a conservative based on his online statements, favorite book list and some indications as to his religious preferences. Of course this evidence is not conclusive and I do not have the resources the PCSO and others would. It is going to be interesting to see how the spin-machine works this.
