Twitter messages show that Loughner was known as a LIBERAL pot head. Will there be a call to stop the legalization of marijuana? Will the media demand a halt to the left wing violent rhetoric like the Daily Kos that targeted Rep. Giffords by name and used the words ‘targeted’ and ‘bulls eye’.

Twitter messages show that Loughner was known as a LIBERAL pot head. Will there be a call to stop the legalization of marijuana? Will the media demand a halt to the left wing violent rhetoric like the Daily Kos that targeted Rep. Giffords by name and used the words ‘targeted’ and ‘bulls eye’.

Caitie Parker knew Loughner and went to high school with him. Her “tweets” just after the shooting show Jared Loughner as a pot smoking  loner who had met Giffords before the shooting and was a ‘LEFT WING’ ‘LIBERAL’.

How in the world did the left wing radicals think they could pin this wacko as a conservative? This is a desperate attempt to silence opposing views by claiming all disagreement with the leftist narrative is hateful and inspires violence.

His My Space profile showed two of his favorite books to be Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto and Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Hardly the ideology of a tea party conservative.
