(WIREUPDATE) — A person who knew gunman Jared Lee Loughner said that he met with Congresswoman Giffords at least once in the past. Caitie Parker, a high school friend of the shooter, said Loughner told her about meeting the Congresswomen once in 2007.

“He was a political radical. He met Giffords once before in 2007. He asked her a question and he told me she was ‘stupid and unintelligent.’ Parker wrote on her Twitter account.

“He was a pot head and into rock, like Hendrix, The Doors, Anti-Flag. I haven’t seen him in person since 2007 in a sign language class. As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal and oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy. He had a lot of friends until he got alcohol poisoning in 2006 and dropped out of school. Mainly a loner, very philosophical,” she wrote.

1. this was posted previously & this "friend" is apparently a

staunch conservate (teabagger?), so take her comments with that in mind.

5. I'd have to know the person 'saying this'.. sometimes people think

liberal when they're not, etc.........

so it would really have to be where the speaker was thinking rather than what I might think she meant. :)
