tucson: That bozo is easily spotted as a nut job but still Clinton makes it equal to terrorism from the Middle East - the local Sheriff blasts the Right and everyone with a political agenda in between is woofing it up to promote their private agenda. The man is obviously a MASS MURDERER motivated by voices and urges that are in not of this world - HE IS NOT A TERRORIST; at best he is a paranoid schizophrenic. Get real folks.|||It is being politicized because a member of congress was involved and prior to the shooting there was some pretty tough talk against that member of congress. Thus people leap to conclusions. In addition, gun control laws are political issues, so people want to know why the republican lax gun control policy allowed a nut job to have a gun. Why didn't everyone at the rally have a gun and kill the guy before he got off a second shot?|||The left mistakenly believes that they can gain points by blaming this on conservatives. They think people will believe their lies and somehow that will translate into votes for their side. They also desperately want to shut down the most powerful voices of the opposition. They only believe in freedom of speech if it agrees with their political position. That sheriff has tainted the case and the jury pool with his opinions, and that, combined with his failure to protect the people who were killed and injured should cost him his job. A poll taken in the past couple of days shows that about 60% of the people of this country agree that this lunatic committed this crime because he's crazy, not because he listened to any conservative speech. I think that in the long run this whole thing will backfire on the people who have used this tragedy in an attempt to gain politically.|||It would not be politicized if the Congresswoman was a Republican. It would be considered the victim's fault. Nobody talked about gun control after the Ft. Hood Massacre. We were barely even able to talk about the fact that the dude was a radical Islamic. But A Democrat gets shot, and it's automatically Rush Limbaugh's fault.
