Loughner Hates News, Where Is Obama?

Sarah Palin issued a statement condemning the ‘blood libel’ of the left-wing media. I couldn’t agree with Mrs. Palin more. The rush to condemn the free, open and vigorous debate we have in this country is disgraceful.

Meanwhile, more evidence comes out that Jared Loughner wasn’t influenced by talk radio. One of Loughner’s friends said that he hated watching the news and didn’t listen to talk radio. So much for Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck causing Saturday’s shooting.

The people who are using the Giffords shooting to further their own left-wing political agenda should be ashamed of themselves. The more information that has come out about this case the more it is clear that the shooter wasn’t right-wing and wasn’t influenced in any way by right-wing groups, radio or personalities. Sheriff Clarence Dupnik of Pima County (a Democrat of course) disgraced his office by blaming the Tea Parties and Rush Limbaugh for the shooting without any evidence. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton disgraced her office and hurt the United States internationally by linking a lone criminal in Jared Loughner with international Muslim jihadists. The Democrats have cried wolf and it’s pretty clear they aren’t to be believed.

Speaking of Democrats, where has President Obama been in all of this? Rather than bring the country together, which is what most Presidents do at a time of national tragedy, Obama has been missing in action. He gave a brief statement on Saturday and has been mostly silent since. Meanwhile his party is busy trashing conservatives and Republicans, linking them to a crime that has nothing to do with politics. Once again, Obama’s lack of leadership skills shine for the country to see.
