Please provide some evidence (other that what you feel) that leads you to the conclusion that he was motivated by political speech, much less aware that it existed.
Take a little time and look up some of the studies of how that occurs. Look up Hitlers method. Look up how terrorists are developed. There is a lot of info available to those who actually want to know.
There's been a lot of shouting today about the role of inflammatory rhetoric in the Tucson shootings, but Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are having none of it. Beck took aim at Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, who, in the wake of the shootings, called Arizona a "mecca for intolerance and bigotry," reports the Arizona Republic . All Beck sees in Dupnik is "a sheriff who has no facts and blames it on talk radio."

I have a better idea. Why don't you tell us instead of ducking it.
Again, what kind of vitriol or rhetoric would motivate you to pick up a gun and start shooting innocents?
Kind of tough when all the liberals are pointing fingers and blaming you isn't it?
It's not enough to just SAY they are responsible, but you must be able to show a direct connection. There is none.
Wasn't it Obama's guy Emmanuel who said they should "never let a serious crisis go to waste" ?
They get blamed by liberals when the weather is bad. So what? They're used to it and NEVER feel the need to explain themselves any other time. So why now?
Good God, people. Back and forth; right and left; dems and repubs. Can you not see the futility?
1. Loughner was a young man who apparently fell through the cracks. He needed a psychiatric evaluation, but I haven't read where he received that. I also haven't read where he was a diagnosed schizophrenic, but I would nearly bet my house that he is, and if so, he needed medical attention and medication. If he received any of that I've not read it in the news. Patience.
2. Palin didn't pull the trigger. The crosshairs on her now infamous map most certainly was in poor taste, at best. She's an instigator who stirs the pot to the most susceptable: those with poor self-control skills. She's like the brat who makes faces at the kid sibling. Then when parent intervenes she can easily shrug her shoulders and say, "what'd I do? All I did was look at her."
3. Didn't Gifford's tea-party opponent use her image as target practice? And you people condone that? Good God, is that what we've come to?
We've become a bunch of pansies who refuse to admit to any amount of responsibility to anything! More people will point a finger at someone else; make excuses; justify their actions by some twisted logic and cry foul play than admit to making a mistake, apologizing and moving on. What's the deal with people anymore? All we hear is, "the leftist, socialist, no-working left did it; the right caused it, and round and round. I swear it's like watching pre-schoolers!
Good God, people. Grow up or grow a brain.
