Anybody have confirmation of shooter's FB posts that he was a
TeaParty supporter and Palinite? Read on a comments section on
a news site that this was discovered, but have no links.....

1. One of our DU member's has a brother who was his schoolmate

and he pretty much verified that bent.

5. Really? I missed that one...

Do you have the link? I was trying to watch the Seahawks/Saints game and the news at the same time.

Thanks.

9. That's me. My brother went to the same school as the (expletive deleted).

My brother remembers him not so fondly as a Limbaugh listener, a racist bigot and someone who would pick fights with my brother because my brother was a "dirty (anti-Semetic comment deleted).

3. I haven't seen anything like that; his Myspace posts that I HAVE seen...

tend to indicate that he's clinically psychotic. There were people creating fake Facebook profiles and putting pro-Palin and pro-Tea Party right wing nuttery on them with his name on, but it was AFTER the shooting when he was in custody; tricky thing, timestamps. So no, anyone who claims to have seen that probably didn't.

7. well I guess it is a good thing a clinically psychotic person can buy a handgun

with a large capacity clip, and a semi automatic one at that














Do I really need a sarcasm tag here?

4. Claims are all over the map by all sides

My take at this point is that he seems more crackers than political. Have to see what comes.

Giffords was a SW Democrat. Pro gun, pro military, pro 1070, voted against Pelosi for Minority leader, but supported the President on health care reform, and was pro choice. If it was truly political, I could think of many others who would be targeted first.

For now I am waiting to see what comes and hope for the best for the wounded.

10. I agree wih you, PP!

I would just as soon wait and see also.
