Rush: AZ Shooter Has ‘Full Support’ of Democratic Party

What’s behind the infamous mugshot smirk of accused killer Jared Lee Loughner?

On Tuesday, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh ventured a guess, suggesting that Loughner loves the limelight and the “support” he‘s received from members of the Democratic Party following Saturday’s shooting spree.

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. He’s the latest in a never-ending parade of victims brought about by the unfairness of America…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.

After hinting that Sheriff Clarence Dupnik is receiving “coaching” from Dems, Rush also suggested that Pima County may be better served by hiring a real sheriff:

    I don’t listen to Rush that much but when I do I mostly like what he says, and I agree with this too. I believe that Tucson would be far better off firing that joker before in his opinion he gives this bum a way out. I think Tucson deserves a real sheriff whose opinion is to do police work and leave the politics for politicians.

    Dupnik is a dupe. A useful idiot of the ******* class spewing the very vitirol of which he accuses others. Like his hero Obummer, he makes his commentary based on what he pulls from his a$$ before ANY of the facts of in… kinda’ like Obummer in the “cops acted stupidly” commentary…

    I think Rush is on his own on this one. While I agree with his analysis may be correct, the speculative nature of the way he phrased his comment is something I disagree with. I agree that the lack of an ability to recognize evil is what will eventually destroy our republic. We have to hold Loughner accountable for what he has done. Tying everything to the reason it was done just further dishonors the victims IMO.

      Don‘t be too hasty to ’fry’ him. There is a lot more leading up to this event that has been reported, and if or when the whole story is told, there will be embarassment (at least) in Pima County and local Congressional politics. This maggot would have been stopped in his tracks long ago if he wasn’t somehow connected or associated with someone who had the influence to let him run. As the Beckster says; “Question with boldness”. Before they fry him, some truth serum should be applied. Don’t hold your breath for that.

      We need a new ammendment!!!

      Congressional Reform Act of 2011

      1. Term Limits.
      12 years only, one of the possible options below..
      A. Two Six-year Senate terms
      B. Six Two-year House terms
      C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms
      2. No Tenure / No Pension.
      A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
      3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
      All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social
      Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social
      Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.
      4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
      5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
      6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
      7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
      8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12.
      The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen.
      Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

      Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers
      envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s),
      then go home and back to work.

      Rush is good at using sarcastic imaging to get a point across; and it is a truth in this case, the left is seeking to blame everyone else save themselves and the true criminal for the murders and the near murders that occured. This man is responsible for his own deeds, and will face the courts to see if he is even competent to stand trial first; and if he is, then he will be judged in accordance to its statues of guilt or innocence.

      It’s uncanny how often Rush gets things right. And he is absolutely right. IslamoNazi killers – like Hassan at Ft. Hood – get every benefit of the doubt. Conservatives never do. But our fellow citizens are waking up to this now.

      Americans recognize corrupt political hackery when they see it, and they punish the perpetrators. But if an investigation were launched, the ‘progressive’-crypto- Marxists would be found five times more guilty of inciting violence and hatred. They’re the experts on hate speech. These tactics are straight out of the Saul Alinsky/Stalinist/Leninist playbook for communist revolution; which Hillary Clinton based her graduate thesis on. The thesis is “sealed” from all scrutiny. I’d love to know what she wrote.

      Chris Matthews interviewed Alinsky last year, and called him a “hero of the Left

      There is one thing that is going on with the Progressives flap over symbols and symbology; along with the words and the way they are used. These are the camoflague the Progressives employ to distort and to distract, to decoy and destroy; Rush, Beck, and others of us who have seen through the camoflage, and those who find them on their own by daring to look underneath see it for what the real darkness and dangers behind them are.

      Symbols and Words have power, and whoever can control the words (free speech v. limited speech; protected speech v. state-controlled speech for two examples) and the Symbols then has the power.

      This is ultimately what it all boils down to = Take the controls, and you have the power.

      That is what the Progressives really fear, the loss of control to you and me, the people of America and our understanding of what their symbology and words really mean. We have symbols of our own, the pledge, the flag, the constitution, and our own words (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) along with the greatest word and symbol wrapped up into one…

      Hard to say with this guy, but Byron Williams, the would be mass murderer of employees of the Tides Foundation, was by his own statements inspired by Glenn Beck. Hard to blame Glenn directly (although you can bet he said a few prayers thanking God the guy was caught before he followed through) but when AM talk show hosts and FOX celebrities characterize public officials as devil worshiping mass murders, just like Hitler!, those that are a little unhinged may decide they’re going to save the country by exercising their Second Amendment remedies, as Sharon Angle said to legitimize violence against public officials.

      And of course there was the murder of the abortionist George Tiller, someone was regularly demonized by Bill O’ Reilly.
