Conservative are all in a twitchy rage that Jared Loughner became disgruntled with Gabby Giffords back in 2007 - before Palin and before the Tea Baggers.
Well, then why didn't he take after her then?
Seriously, what has transpired in the past 3+ years that would have amplified his already apparent rage?
- The rise of people like Palin and Beck who continually stoke the fires of anti-government sentiment
- The creation of the Tea Baggers ( funded/promoted in virtually exclusive fashion by conservative, corporate interests in order to stoke the aforementioned anti-government sentiment )
- Arizona becomes hot-bed of conservative rage in reference to immigration
- Fox"News" perpetuates specious claims about Democratic officials on a daily basis
- Conservative talk radio returns to Clinton era narratives and cranks up the volume to 11.
All this BEFORE the creation of Loughner's YouTube clips on a page that was created less than four months ago.
Is anyone else not noticing this or even talking about this?
This notion that recent events within the American socio-political landscape had nothing to do with Loughner's actions don't mesh with reality in the least.
A Blog Version Of The Inside Of My Head. The place where politics, film, the media, music, pop culture, and random topics collide in an orgy of neo-philisophical randomness that would make your mother scream.
