CNN just said the shooter could be considered liberal because he smoked pot

[no limit]

1. tell that to my right wing, pot smoking brother in law

[itsrobert]

2. I know a lot more righties who smoke/former smokers of pot

And other drugs. Small sample size. I know.

[Cosmocat]

11. YEP ...

as someone else noted, the libertarian wing of the party is real pot heavy ...

But it is like anything else with the GOP, they get to do it and act above it ...

[jody]

3. But Obama & Clinton, 2 Dems, smoked pot vs. Bush, 1 Repug. Obviously liberals prefer pot 2 to 1 over

conservatives. :rofl:

[HughBeaumont]

4. From all characteristics, it sounds like he was a right-leaning libertarian, if anything.

6. Didn't Eric Rudolph (Bombed abortion clinics, gay bars, and the olympics) smoke pot too?

And if that made him a liberal, then what's that make the majority of us here?

[MrsBrady]

7. if you only knew how many

"conservative" parties I used to go to and they

were not only smoking pot, but blowing stuff up their nose.

[AspenRose]

9. Libertarians = Republicans who want to legalize pot

[proud2BlibKansan]

Where is Bill Maher when we need him?

[Seedersandleechers]

14. Pot smoking lefty

[mtnsnake]

15. Since when are liberals interested in stifling government to the extent that Loughner was?

That's our media for ya.

[el_bryanto]

Bryant

23. Seriously? Liberal because he smoked pot?

Good grief. I know of a guy and his wife who are extremely conservative/republican and are not libertarians but smoke reefer like its going out of style.

"Next up on MSN: Shooter owned a pair of sandals and was known to occasionally sport facial hair therefore shooter must have been a hard core liberal."

Geeez.
