So the teabaggers are trying to distance themselves from this

[johnnie]

I guess that means that all of these people who threaten to "take back their country" by force and wave their guns in everyone's faces are really just full of shit and are cowards?




I'm glad that Congresswoman Giffords seems to be ok. I'm saddened by the deaths that resulted in this tragedy, but Congresswoman Giffords is an enemy of the tea party and they have been threatening to take back the country by force but yet are now distancing themselves from what they having been threatening. Are they full of shit?

3. The few I've posted responses to on other sites are claiming the shooter is a liberal

They are in complete denial that violence was at the heart of the tea bag movement.

6. This is the new spin, meme...

... that Loughner is a wacked out Marxist or something.

8. "deranged Liberal, you can blame Obama for this" is a post I saw

7. It's gonna be hard to spin this as a left-wing attack

but they will try, because this means bad bad news for the tea partiers.

Let them. I assume they are clinging to the fact that some myspace page or something he listed the communist manifesto, as proof positive he is a left winger.

11. All MSM is bending over backwards to spin this

The shooter may end up being some whack job, but all the stations I have checked out are doing their damnest to make sure people think that this had nothing to do with politics.

12. It won't work

too much has happened in this country now for them to do this easily. EVERYTHING is tinged in partisan politics. Like I said, let them try. There is a much better response to this now, and I await what Media Matters for America has to say on this.

We can keep the fire under their butts, too. It is very important to the Tea party that this young man NOT be affiliated with them, or influenced by them. I don't know if he was, and I am pretty sure there is something wrong with him, too.

5. Her father was asked, "did she have any enemies?"

"Yeah", he said, "the entire Tea Party". These people are a real threat to democracy and they have plenty of enablers in the Republican Party.

9. But now they are saying they don't really mean it

They are admitting that they are a bunch of cowards who don't really mean what they say. They just want to go to rallies with guns strapped to their bodies to pretend like they really give a shit and will take the country back by force if need be. They are full of shit.

10. They can try to distance themselves, but we know now they're TERRORISTS!

13. Kick for the teabaggers

Just in case you are reading DU and trying to pretend this had nothing to do with your shit-for-brains party.
