Not according to the military,he was disqualified from serving.

Probably best to end this stupid debate and put your thoughts to the losses endured today.
But see, the Leftist media/bloggers are trying to push the narrative.

Yes - that twitter feed is interesting - if he was at all political he was certainly not conservative by any stretch.

I never said such thing. I have no idea whether any of it is true, I only said he mentioned military. That is all I know, and I have no idea of its truthfullness. I have absolutely no interest in trying to prove something I am not even arguing. He mentined it. Period. Is everything an argument for you?

All those talking about "targets" and "bullseyes" - happens ALL the time in political contests, in sports events and really throughout our culture.

Man linked to Giffords shooting called 'very disturbed'
I saw the same thing as you did. Whatever he said in that Youtube video is all I know, so I don't have any secret source or any secret info.

I have not said anything about any targets, but I can't blame Palin for removing her web site. I would have removed it too if it had been mine.

So did Andrew Breitbart at one point, he helped start the Huffington Post! The guy (the shooter, not Breitbart) is clearly an Infowars type from what he had in that video. And those people are also Palin/Beck's audience. It is IMPERATIVE that these public figures start using more responsible words. Maybe it's not fair that they have to, but they are in that position of power, and that's just the way it is.

(and NO, I'm not calling for their censorship, I'm calling for them to take a good hard look at themselves and their influence, and act accordingly)

Banning guns doesn't solve this kind of problem.

Watched some of his rambling You Tube videos. They make little sense.

I do believe that some of the hyper-partisan rhetoric we hear does influence susceptible individuals. Rather than finger point, now is the time to lower the vibe and to speak civilly with one another.
I agree COMPLETELY with this.
