As a Jewish American myself, of course that came to mind... but at this point, I can only think he's a non-specific wacko. Further speculation on my part will be reserved until further evidence.
Well that's not allowed you need to jump to conclusions with no evidence.
Hitler buddied up with Stalin. Anti-communism was the flavor du jour for populism and not something that NATIONAL SOCIALISM particularly cared about from an idealistic standpoint.
Did Hitler call for a gold standard? End to central banking? Didn't he call for a strong central government and espouse the end to decentralization of Bavaria/Prussia/etc?
VERY left wing.
I asked you what about Mein Kampf is left wing and you cannot answer the question. Expanding your territory and invading countries is now left-wing. According to your logic the USA has always been leftist because it has expanded its territory and invaded countries.
FYI for those of you trying to blame either the right or the left.
This shooting occurred in Tucson, a place that has had VERY MANY unhappy voters over the past few years. Much of this stems from the years of mismanagement of Rio Nuevo funds (tax-payer dollars) by the city council with no end result. The newspapers are always talking about it, and people have had strong opinions on the matter for years. People have been very unhappy with all types of leadership in and around Tucson for quite awhile regardless of party affilliation and despite the fact that a politician may be for/against illegal immigration, gun control, etc. Why people are intent on making this a right vs. left thing without knowing all the facts is ridiculous.
This shooting was a horrible, horrible thing. We may never know for sure what drove the shooter to do what he did, but he's apparently a very disturbed individual. Despite the fact that politicians and the media can try to influence the public, it is still up to us individually to make our own choices and hold ourselves responsible for outcome of those choices and decisions instead of blaming someone else. This blaming of others without taking responsibility for our own actions seems to be a growing trend now in our country.
Before FACE BOOK was deleted, Palin and Tea Party were FAVORITES...
I believe the Facebook page was shown to be false, if I am not mistaken. I am sure another user can dredge up the actual evidence of that being false.
On topic - no, I do not believe this shooter was motivated by anything beyond his unstable mind, regardless of his posted reading list.
