The only thing worse than incessant insulting on threads like this is when people use emoticons in the course of the insulting. Stop that shit!

Maybe this is why the Sheriff has been so intent on placing the blame on others:

The police were sent to the home where Jared L. Loughner lived with his family on more than one occasion before the attack here on Saturday that left a congresswoman fighting for her life and six others dead, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said on Tuesday.

A spokesman, Jason Ogan, said the details of the calls were being reviewed by legal counsel and would be released as soon as the review was complete. He said he did not know what the calls were about — they could possibly have been minor, even trivial matters — or whether they involved Jared Loughner or another member of the household.

A friend of Mr. Loughner’s also said in an interview on Tuesday that Mr. Loughner, 22, was skilled with a gun — as early as high school — and had talked about a philosophy of fostering chaos.

The news of police involvement with the Loughners suggests that county sheriff’s deputies were at least familiar with the family, even if the reason for their visits was unclear as of Tuesday night.

Or maybe, through that previous call out, his department learned something about the shooter's politics?

We can only hope.

LOL.

You think he was ranting about Sarah Palin, Sharron Angle, or Rush Limbaugh?

Maybe he was upset about Amare going to the Knicks.

I don't know. Just as you don't know the reason behind the sheriff's statements.

Don't oversimplify. There are factions of the Tea Party that are peaceful and factions that are borderline lunatic. Just like 60s protesters.

Name one person associated with the Tea Party movement who did anything remotely resembling the actions taken by the Black Panthers, the Weathermen (coughBillAyerscough) or the the SDS in the 60s and 70s. Buildings were blown up. Cops were killed (Yes, I know cops and the National Guard had blood on their hands also). College buildings and offices were taken over and vandalized.

Quit reaching.

So the Left has to own the sins of the 60s? Fine. So you'll own up to things like Timothy McVeigh and the Ku Klux Klan then?

The comparison wasn't the radical left of the 1960s to the Klan of the 1960s. It was the radical left of the 60s to the Tea Party movement, and there isn't any valid comparison, since no Tea Partier has been linked to bombings of Federal buildings and killing cops.

The Klan, the scourge of the earth in the U.S. like none other since the country's founding, is an apple to this orange.

Perhaps I shall clarify. KKK of the 1910s to 40s. Right wing terrorism at its worst.

And let's not pretend for a minute that McVeigh's anti-government philosophies don't line up with the Tea Party. They very much do. He was Tea Party before the Tea Party.

By the way, almost all Klan members were Democrats.

Southern Democrats. Nearly all of whom became Republicans after passage of the Civil Rights Act. But you knew that, didn't you? And if you didn't, you should sue your high school for doing you a grave disservice.

I did know that and I'll let you know when I need history lessons from you. Not all of them became Republicans (harrycoughbyrd).

Hence "Nearly all of whom." I guess reading's not your strong suit, either.
