Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords Shot In Arizona

[Wild Cobra]

They're not crosshairs--they're "surveyor's symbols."

This is true. Didn't realize I missed that until now.

That particular one is used to mark locations on maps.

Did Palin just now realize it too?

[MiamiHeat]

(Reload!)

so why exactly was I going to be gone for months and not be alive?

[Wild Cobra]

I don't know, but I'll bet who designed it knew the difference. No idea the internal workings of who decided to pull the map from the site, but too often, ignorance wins out over sanity.

[ChumpDumper]

lol surveying

You're an infrequent poster here, is all I meant.

[RandomGuy]

I find that to be one of the most ironic things you have ever said.

[RandomGuy]

These liberals don't realize, his party is the occult.

Link?

Just about every liberal here has fully acknowledged he was a simple nutjob.

Now who is pushing a narrative?

[rascal]

Yeah. Couric was really interested in exploring those avenues. That's why she cut off Bloomberg mid-sentence to add "home-grown".

It most likely was discussed just not posted here. I guess they only spoke for this short time by your account.

[LnGrrrR]

Oh, and I commend you Lngrr for being the only one to respond to that link I posted. I'm not using that article as a "gotcha. This is what caused it" kinda thing. It's just stupid. This and the Palin thing. Anyone that believes either one is the slightest bit responsible is pretty dumb IMHO. Theres simply crazy people in the world. The Unabomber graduated from Harvard. Did anyone blame universities for his stupidity?..... Politicians INCLUDING our President spew this rhetoric and vitriol day in and day out on tv and across the internets. Now it's the latest buzz word on tv and is making eveyone "come together". This is all a charade. Just people gaining votes. continuing to care about themselves(the elected officials) and no one else.

Fair's fair Viva. It did seem like a post from a regular front-page author, who obviously should have known better. DKos is certainly not known for their temperance/patience. after this, perhaps they will think better before hitting the "post" button.

I don't think that Palin was responsible. I think that she should probably think better of what she says, being a public figure and all. Maybe this incident will get everyone to be a little bit more responsible with their public rhetoric, but I'm not holding my breath.

There are plenty of links out there. Google his name and skull, or occult.

Predicting the Left-Wing Spin on Jared Loughner’s Occult Skull Shrine

[LnGrrrR]

Did you notice his favorite books:

Animal Farm, Brave New World, The Wizard Of OZ, Aesop Fables, The Odyssey, Alice Adventures Into Wonderland, Fahrenheit 451, Peter Pan, To Kill A Mockingbird, We The Living, Phantom Toll Booth, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Pulp,Through The Looking Glass, The Communist Manifesto, Siddhartha, The Old Man And The Sea, Gulliver's Travels, Mein Kampf, The Republic, and Meno.


Obviously a hard-core right winger.

This guy is just a crazy .

But keep being classy and trying to blame this on talk radio, Palin, tea party, etc.


Stupid s.

That's the most important piece to take from this. Some people aren't right or left... they're just crazy. They have some stuff which makes tehm seem righty, others which make them seem lefty. But really, they're just crazy.

[LnGrrrR]

More than anything, that list of books looks to me like the kind of thing someone would post as a desperate attempt to appear super literate. Too much of a greatest hits list to be real.

Here's the thing I don't get... how do you put Animal Farm, Brave New World AND Fahrenheit 451 on your list...

But NOT 1984? Really? How is that possible?

Jared Loughner is 100% Pure Americana in the Great Tradition of American political assaassins.

[Winehole23]

What is the Great Tradition of American political assassinations?

[Wild Cobra]

Jared Loughner is 100% Pure Americana in the Great Tradition of American political assaassins.

If you say so. I marvel at how you would have insight to such a mind. Maybe this applies to you too, From the article I linked a few posts ago:

Loughner had once tried to join the military but was deemed unsuitable, officials said.

You talk about how the military has such low standards... Even they saw trouble in the man!

[TeyshaBlue]

Look at me!

[Oh, Gee!!]

This is true. Didn't realize I missed that until now.

since she's always blathering on and on about hunting and using gun metaphors in her sophmoric speeches, you'll have forgive us for not linking those symbols to her lesser-known hobby of land surveying.

[coyotes_geek]

BTW, Giffords is now able to breathe on her own, so good news there. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110111/..._shot_giffords

Apologies for going off topic.

Although if Palin could start figuring out how to drop land surveying lingo into her political quips, my opinion of her would go up. Come on Sarah, show us what you can do with "declination", "metes and bounds", or for extra credit, use "vara".

I have to disagree..most sophmores would probably find her to be an idiot..

I was sort of surprised that Catcher in the Rye was not on his list.
