The Left is correct, the political discourse caused the shooting...

It was the POT!

In sorting through the political charges and counter-charges, two facts remain clear: the Arizona shooter, Jared Loughner, was a drug abuser, and drug use is linked to mental illness.

While there has been news coverage on this obvious angle to the horrific massacre in Tucson, media "blame game" scrutiny has focused on other portions of the advocacy spectrum.

In addition to classmates who were quoted as saying that he was a regular user of marijuana, The Washington Post confirmed that he “was rejected from enlistment in the U.S. Army because of issues related to his history of drug use…” Going into more detail, Time magazine reports that Loughner admitted to the military that “he was a regular marijuana user.”

In a provocative article, “Did Pot Trigger Giffords Shooting?,” blogger David Frum wrote: “After the Tucson shooting, there may be renewed pressure to control the weapons that committed the crime. But what about the drugs that may have aggravated the killer’s mental disease?”

This question, however, also has a political dimension. Illegal drugs have been traditionally viewed by the radical left as a weapon of war against the capitalist system, and the movement for drug legalization is mostly a project of the liberal-left.

In her “Declaration of a State of War,” Weather Underground terrorist Bernardine Dohrn had declared marijuana and other mind-altering drugs to be weapons in the revolution. She said, “We fight in many ways. Dope is one of our weapons. The laws against marijuana mean that millions of us are outlaws long before we actually split. Guns and grass are united in the youth underground.”

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner was the early funder of the marijuana legalization movement, but funding over the last couple of decades has come from billionaires George Soros, University of Phoenix founder John Sperling, and Progressive Insurance executive Peter Lewis.

President Barack Obama is an acknowledged former user of marijuana, as well as cocaine, and promised the drug lobby that he would ease up on prosecutions of marijuana users.

It appears that Loughner’s arrest for possessing drug paraphernalia in 2007 was dropped from his record after he completed a court diversion program. Otherwise, this could have prevented him from buying a gun and carrying out the rampage.

...

Interestingly, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) had attacked Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was seriously wounded in the shootings, for opposing decriminalization of marijuana.

Giffords' ad said: “There are serious public health costs associated with drug misuse, as well as larger economic and societal costs. For example, marijuana is often cited as a gateway drug that leads to the use of more dangerous narcotics. For these reasons, I do not support decriminalizing marijuana.”

Now she is fighting for her life because of bullets fired from the gun of a certified marijuana addict.

I blame OXYCONTIN!!!

I'm a crack shot, don't smile.

I have an honest question and I request an honest answer.


Do you think the hate speak or the pot smoking had more to do with the event in Arizona?

 

[Saint Peter]

I know. It was a tough question.

I think if either the pot smoking, it probably contributed more to his deteriorating mental condition.

I just read his poetry on CNN.


The fucker missed his calling. He should have been a Lit porn author.

Look at the timeline.

When this guy was voting in 2006 and 2008, there was a lot of hate and anger all the time, in the news, Cindy Sheehan, Senator Obama, I mean a lot of angry voices and a lot of hate and name-calling aimed at Republicans, especially Bush...

He looks like he was one of the angry Independents and Utes who bought into the hate speech and the hopey-changey mantra of the Left in bringing about Democrat Majorities. When he had a chance to be an angry Tea-Partier, he didn't act all that worked up, hell, he didn't even bother to vote. I think Stewart, Mahler, The View gals, Chris Mathews, et. al., have a lot to answer for in getting this guy so riled up. Maybe they should set an example because at this point because the Athiest, the reader of Left-wing literature, the guy getting his "education," who listened to Heavy Metal, did drugs and had a skull shrine really seems to have acted out according to the same voices that caused the Greek riots, the French riots, the English Student riots, the Berkeley riots, the beat-down of Tea Party attendees...,

I mean, he did kill a "Republican" Judge and try to kill a very "Conservative" Congresswoman, it's not like he went after Moonbeam or anything. Maybe it was the recent round of fresh hate after the election that really set him over the edge this time as he emulated heros like Ayers and Dohrn. Maybe is was all the anti-Israeli sentiment and an instilled hatred of Jews...

I stand corrected from any earlier position that was in denial of the effects of political hate speech.

Can't we all just get along?

Go on. Keep trying to turn this around. Keep trying to create false equivalency. You can't do it.

It's already been turned around.

That's the 2nd time in the past few days he's pulled the false equivalent rabbit out of his hat. Must be trying to impress us with his mental superiority again.

He and Rob are married to the same bullshit term.

They shared a recent issue of Reader's Digest.

I actually like Oreo. He's a pompous ass and a constant source of amusement.

Throb is a repugnant POS.

 

[RobDownSouth]

He and Rob are married to the same bullshit term.

The logical fallacy of "false equivalency" is a core tenet of your flawed personal philosophy.

It's why so many people laugh at you.

"But the other side does it tooooooooooooooooooooooo, Mom!"
