Did the shooter have a FB page? And he admired Sarah Palin? I'm hearing this was just a rumor.

[secondwind]

I read on DU earlier that this nutjob admired Palin and the Tea Party. Is it just a rumor now?

1. Possibly. I saw a cached file..but that's it...which seems wrong.

He does or did have a myspace and a youtube. I did manage to download his youtube vids---if they're real.

2. Local media reported it earlier, but since his F/B page

was taken down at the request of LE fairly early yesterday, there is no way to verify. That news story had local media reading from printouts, but they have not been published, to my knowledge.

3. There were several fb pages afterwards, not by him. He did have myspace page though.

4. The facebook was a fake

The youtube and other accounts were real.

6. Which female friend is this? From all accounts he had none.

Not to mention, he was kicked out of school and neighbors interviewed said he was a loner.

12. She doesn't sound like a friend at all. Is it bad if I say she sounds like she's cashing in?n/t

16. Why do you link to an extremist RW site?

9. "Caitie Parker" is a fake plant

She is a conservative activist. I doubt "Caitie" even knew the guy. Stop spreading this crap. It is created attempted spin.

13. That's what it looked like to me. And she was not all over the news.

She'd be on CNN if she was real. She's a fake...thanks.

14. I saw an interview with her yesterday...

She said nothing about him being liberal...she didn't even allude to it or mention anything political.

I also heard that he had different accounts using different names.

Since all of this has been confiscated...wonder if they will scrub it of any political references. Or at least not inform the public. Maybe they fear riots will break out. Maybe he was influenced by tea baggers and there's fear of angering them more than they already are.

As much as I hated Bush, I never wished him any harm. Anyone who would want to harm someone just because they disagree with their political views is really certifiably crazy. How many of those are tea baggers???? I shudder to think....

15. I think she's in it for money. n/t

8. Dunno...but he was associated with this fanatical group

American Renaissance.

It is a anti-Semitic, anti-government hate group.

Nutbag Loughner's one of favorite books is Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler, the National Socialist
(Nazi) from Germany.

And congresswoman Giffords is Jewish!

Put 2 & 2 together.

11. His You Tube rantings have several radical right wing elements. He's a right winger.
