1. Bingo. Teabagger. nt

39. huh?

huh?

[Hannah Bell]

40. lol. yeah, pointing out that 50-year-old white male doesn't = teabagger = "supporting the right

wing".

pointing out that there's a lot of assuming based on precious little hard evidence = "supporting the right wing"

now you can resume your regularly-scheduled knee-jerking

[eleny]

8. Well that rules out the "he's a left winger" meme some have been trying to spread

Thanks!

[Duer 157099]

23. Huh?

How? :shrug:

Not that I know either way, but aren't there 50 year old white liberal males? I'm sure there are.

[eleny]

28. Sorry, I meant the shooter

Evidently there's a high school friend of Loughner's who twittered that he had been a liberal. It was posted about here on DU within the last hour.

[Duer 157099]

32. What has me more convinced

is how the sheriff, in his tone and words, made it all very clear about what the influence was. I'm guessing his reaction is based on some actual facts, and his reaction was clear.

[eleny]

41. I believe that, too

[musette_sf]

48. Yes.

My thoughts also.

[HereSince1628]

10. But Timothy wasn't in his 50's? I'm so confused

but then stereotyping does that to me because there are so many counter-examples usually available.

[onehandle]

17. McVeigh was a libertarian and a registered Republican.

Today he would be teabagging.

And also a libertarian and Republican.

[HereSince1628]

22. But you said Bingo to Teabaggers=50 and then show McVeigh

Very confusing when you have McVeigh there bigger than your message.

[spotbird]

37. McViegh would be in his forties now.

He absorbed his political perspective when the right wing hate machine was invented, like so many of his compatriots.

But my hunch is that this terrorist's is his co-conspirator. I can't explain why, except that there is nothing on the intranets about his family. Also, everything real was scrubbed quickly.

[bobw999]

38. Yeah since there are no 50 year old white liberals.

smh.

[nmbluesky]

2. What? Where do you inform?

LINK

[H2O Man]

3. ?

Not doubting you, but what is your source? My Wife & daughter have control of the tv.

[Dennis Donovan]

11. Sheriff of Pima County just said it @ his press conf.

[AlabamaLibrul]

12. The source is a live presser on MSNBC from the Sherriff himself

I doubt there's a transcription yet

[malaise]

Don't tell me you're missing this press conference

This Sheriff is pissed and not mincing words.
There's a web link to GEM$NBC somewhere here. I'll have a search.

[H2O Man]

21. Thanks to DU

I'm able to follow parts of it.

The incident has shaken up my wife and daughter. Our family has had the opportunity to socialize with a local democratic congressman & his family a number of times. Although they haven't mentioned that, I know what they are thinking.

[bettyellen]

44. It is chilling, there were two incidents last year involving guns with this same

congresswoman. shooting up her house once, someone dropped a gun at a public meeting before.
and she had no security. and they say they are certin she was the target. So sad, so wrong.

[H2O Man]

45. I've read a

few quotes from her father today. He said that the Tea Party identified her as "the enemy." And I read (and linked in an OP/thread I started) a news story about her Tea Party opponent having a "fund-raiser," asking for help in removing her from office, complete with a fully loaded M-16.

[mmonk]

24. Yep, quite pissed.

[onehandle]

14. The Sheriff on MSNBC just said this. nt

[malaise]

20. Link to the press conference and KO

http://www.justin.tv/rockinroosters12#/w/735381392/13

[suffragette]

27. Thanks for the link

I really need to figure out how to add this on my ROKU

[malaise]

29. You're welcome

KO back on now praising the Sheriff.

[suffragette]

31. Suspicious package at Gifford's office?

Was more said about that earlier?

[malaise]

36. A DUer posted about this earlier

from a local link

[suffragette]

43. So much info coming along so fast I must have missed it

Thanks.
I'll look for it.

[cynatnite]

5. Interesting. n/t

[Dennis Donovan]

6. Limbaugh?!?

:D

[Renew Deal]

7. I didn't hear him say that.

Maybe I missed it.

[LisaL]

9. I didn't hear him say that either.

[Connie_Corleone]

13. He just said it when answering a question.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I did hear him say that.

I'm sitting here at work with nothing to do...and he said it in answer to a question as to who the other suspect is. "White male...mid 50's", said very quick about 5 minutes ago.

[Renew Deal]

18. I think that's exactly when my audio cut out.

I couldn't hear something for a second.

[femmocrat]

16. "A person of interest"--- not a suspect.

Sheriff just clarified in response to a Q.

[Barack_America]

19. Let's see those pictures.

[spanone]

25. the plot thickens......

30. there's a lot of teabaggers that fit that description , esp. some really famous hate-mongers.

[Hannah Bell]

42. most 50 year old white males aren't teabaggers.

[PeaceNikki]

34. Where's Glenn Beck?

hmmm?

[cbdo2007]

46. Shooters dad is 58 year old Randy Loughner from Tucson, AZ

Could this be who accompanied him to the meetings?

We've searched like crazy for the shooter - Jared - but let's see if we can some up with any FR or tea party stuff about his dad Randy Loughner. I'll be searching as well and let you know if I come up with anything.

[The Backlash Cometh]

47. So much for taking white guys out of the profile line at TSA.

They lost that right today.
