AOL News has a new home! The Huffington Post.
Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!Limbaugh was suggesting --no, make that stating as a fact -- that the Democrats want to help Jared Lee Loughner escape full justice for allegedly murdering six people (including a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl) and attempting to kill Giffords, a Democrat quite popular within her party. What could Limbaugh be thinking?What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major political party in this country. He's sitting there in jail. He knows what's going on, he knows that. . . . The Democrat party is attempting to find anybody but him to blame. He knows if he plays his cards right, he's just a victim. . . . That smiling mug shot -- this guy clearly understands he's getting all the attention and he understands he's got a political party doing everything it can, plus a local sheriff doing everything that they can to make sure he's not convicted of murder -- but something lesser."
Who in their right mind would have believed Congress applauding the President of the country of Mexico after he chewed them out for their policies concerning the protection of our southern boarder? Maybe Rush is on to something of the left protecting a murderer.

I would point out that the Democrats were the first ones to use a target in their political ads (an action that seems to be conveniently forgotten) yet the crosshairs are harped on with every person who appears in front of a camera or writes a note. All this does is divide this country ever more deeply at a time when we need to come together as AMERICANS for the actual SURVIVAL of our Constitutional Republic. To do less is to lose the nation that we profess to love and honor. I see neither love nor honor in Mr. Corn's remarks, only more division.

January 18 2011 at 11:10 AM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down ReplyLets face it, some Democrats really do want to use this against conservative values. Most Democrats believe this guy is evil or crazy or both and that he deserves to be punished for his actions. There are some Democrats who do not believe in individual responsibility and instead believe in a collective guilt. Others simply want to use this to silence critics of the administration and hope some court somehow declares that the perpetrator is a helpless victim of right wing ideaology.

It seems to me that no matter what the truth is, it has to pass thru the filters in our minds and comes out slanted in accord with our beliefs. Because we all process "facts" differently, we need to actually listen to rational people who mean well and consider their views because no one person has it all processed correctly. Can we still do that or am I naive and this is just wishful thinking?

This shooting was a horrible thing, before the smoke clear the left was trying to blame this on Palin, Bachmann and the tea party. But there are no sorry on how wrong the left was to try and use this as a politicial football. The only stories I have seen was more liberals try to run down the conservatives for defending themselvies against factless assaults.Where is your story on the sheriff who has an impact on the case and made it politicial and lied about what caused the shooting. When will liberal press(corn) write a real story on this.

Such a disqusting thing to say and so pathetic that anyone would agrees with him. It's not a huge leap to connect the dots here. palin inserted herself into the shooting by her own words and actions. IF she didn't post a map with crosshairs, IF she didn't use the term: "don't retreat, reload" and IF Ram didn't claim they weren't crosshairs - merely surveyors symbols and IF the map wasn't removed the day of the shooting.....and IF palin would've opened her mouth and assured Giffords she wasn't targeted to be shot the day Giffords spoke out against the crosshairs map....well, then maybe the sheriff and many others would'nt have thought there was a connection. Odd behavior regarding the map the day of the shooting.....if palin wasn't concerned then why did she yank it from her facebook page and why did Ram pathetically try to make us all believe those crosshairs were nothing more then surveyors symbols. palin never mentioned they were surveyors symbols the day Giffords expressed her concern over the map...palin never spoke up..that is until someone actually DID put Giffords in their crosshairs that day. And then she blamed the media for suggesting it was her fault?? But she's the one that endorsed that very action up until that awful day. I don't believe she's responsible. But I DO believe she's seriously delusional.

Mr Fuller is an aide to the congresswoman shot in Tucson this past week. Mr Fuller was also shot. However, when Mr Fuller got out of the hospital he attended a meeting for healing. At the meeting, he threatened several people. The net result is that he was arrested and will be subjected to psycological testing. If he fails, he will probably be excluded from gun ownership. Not that people on the left like guns, but it is ironic.

We'll see if there is any mental illness issues beyond the issues of stress in the aftermath of a horrific crime -- I'm glad the authorities responded the way they did -- but I will cut him some slack. And by the way VMinch007 -- look two inches to the right of the Corn column and you'll SEE the article about the arrest.
