In the most recent video released, Loughner is traipsing around his campus uttering things about the "illegal and unconstitutional wars" we are in, and how the students are being tortured because they will be sent to fight these "unjust wars" ....does any of that sound vaguely familiar? Seems like just the other day, some pinhead 'rightie' was yammering here about the "unjust war" and how it was illegal and unconstitutional.
Since the left seems to think we need to reel in political speech to avoid setting off another loose cannon like Loughner, I wonder if that means we have to now silence the anti-war rhetoric and dissent? That seems to be something that stuck in his craw, he seems to have a real problem with that... so, I think it's prudent, if we are going to start placing restrictions on free speech, we start with the things that he was most vocal about... obviously, some rhetoric influenced his thoughts, and obviously the "unjust illegal war" rhetoric was right up there on his list.
Come to think of it... Giffords supported funding for Iraq and Afghanistan... maybe THAT was why Loughner acted?
