Response to Mike's comment about Sarah's rhetoric

As much I repect Mike for his past deeds and convictions on his position, I disagree with his comments about Sarah Palin's comments being responsible for the Loughner shooting's in Tucson AZ. I am no fan of Sarah Palin, but the shootings in Tucson were not motivated by any political rhethoric as it has come out. Loughner did not listen to talk radio, but he was a pot smoker, was on psychotropic drugs, was into the occult, and had been an athetist. Ultimontly  he is the one responsible for his actions.

As far as his readings and websites he visied, he was also said to have watched loose change as, so are we doing this guilt by association game.  As far as the cross hair  comment is concerned, the SPLC had made to same comment about Giffords on their website and then pulled it down right  after the shooting. Just before the put out their narrative about Loughner being a so called right winger. Loughner had also been a regular Blogger on the Daily Kos under the handle Blue Boy, so do we blame them as well.

Mike made his comments the day after the shooting without having all of the facts. Its his opinion, but it is not correct. He didnt like comments made about him when Senator Ted Stevens wife was killed in a plane crash and Stevens accused Mike of being responsible for her death. Just as that was wrong of Stevens to make his comments, Mike's comment about Palin was wrong. When you try to take away someone's speech, yours gets taken away in the process. Again its time to unite and not divide as jfl has tried to do.
