A classmate of the man accused of shooting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords this morning describes him as "left wing" and a "pot head" in a series of posts on Twitter this afternoon. Caitie Parker did not immediately respond to our request for an interview, but her "tweets" in the hours after the shooting paint a picture of Jared Loughner as a substance-abusing loner who had met Giffords before the shooting. She says, Loughner described the congresswoman as "stupid and unintelligent." We've confirmed that Parker and Loughner went to school together at Mountain View High School in Tucson and that both attended Pima Community College, so her claims of knowing Loughner seem to be legit. Parker "tweets" that she and Loughner were in the band together and were friends until 2007 when he became "reclusive" after getting alcohol poisoning and dropping out of college. She describes him as "quite liberal" and as a "political radical." Below is a log of "tweets" posted by Parker beginning around the time of the shooting. [poster comment: go56, brianS, skippy the moron and ferret mike, take notice- he's not a Tea Party activist, he's a FAR LEFT lunatic. Just like YOU.]

According to his videos, he's also 'interested in men', 'hopes to be a woman someday' and smokes pot. Yeah, real Tea Party right-wing troglodyte. Just keep spinning, losers. The truth is coming out.
Many right wingers are interested in other men. Homosexuality knows no ideological borders. As far as the transgender angle; that's why they have the Harry Benjamin protocols requiring people to live in the gender role they claim to be part of. Because transgender people don't want to become the other gender; they are a gender other than what their body expresses. The brain is the determiner of gender, not how the body differentiated. I doubt he was transgendered if he didn't express the affirmation he is a woman dispute how his body developed. He sounds like someone who might be infatuated with this notion; and the protocol I mentioned is designed to filter people like this out.

You might as well be talking this to your dog, Ferret. ;} " In other words, no mention of the fact that Right's interlocking political/media/religious keiretsu has been a massive paint-shaker for Crazy for as long as anyone can remember: when they need a few more votes or a few more dollars, they notch it up; when someone takes them up on their elimination rhetoric and blows up a federal building or flies a plane into an IRS office or murders a doctor, they dial it back a little and pretend they have no idea where anyone could have gotten such ideas. Which is, of course, done with the enthusiastic cooperation of Establishmentarian testicle cozies like Gregory, whose defense of his patently absurd equivalencing (which is a word starting now) has rarely been on more feculent display." driftglass
