I don't think getting shot in the head is politics.

FOX doesn't think it's politically motivated.

No matter what's behind it, it's fucking tragic.

BINGEWOOD — Jan 09, 2011FOX doesn't think it's politically motivated.

Fox is a republican biased news channel, she is a democrat. So of course their partisanship blinds them to anything that might go against their partisanship.

But of course. They made a huge effort to separate the tea party from this shooting. I didn't really see anyone bringing up the tea party in the first place and the best they seemed to come up with was "left wing blogosphere"....but what was the "right wing blogosphere" saying?

I dug it when one of their guests blamed weed for the shooting because "nowadays they put chemicals in the marijuana that make you crazy". Hard hitting journalism at it's best.

In a state where many are armed, it took people tackling this ass to take him down.

The guy seems to fit the classic stereotype of gun crazed maniac - aside from not killing himself.
So he would seem likely have gone on a killing spree anyway.

It's about what influenced him to target her and any connections to the threats she received in the last year.

He's a complete nutcase and so are all the mental midgets who are trying to use this to make a political point.

Both Palin and Beck are in extreme back peddle/ass cover mode right now.

Mebee it'll carry over into them being less exuberant in their own DUCKSPEAK.

If this shooter was a muslim I would think both of these characters would be making as many links to others as they thought they could get away with no matter how crazy he was.
