The effort to portray Jared Loughner as a right-wing tea party activist who was influenced by Sarah Palin continues to unravel, as the Washington Post reports:

Suspected Tucson gunman Jared Lee Loughner registered as an independent voter in Arizona in the fall of 2006, according to the Pima County Registrar of Voters.

Loughner registered to vote on Sept. 29, 2006, identifying himself as an independent. Records show he voted in the 2006 and 2008 elections but is current listed as "inactive" on the state's voter roles -- meaning that he did not vote in November.

Obviously this proves Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Santa Claus were responsible for this murderer.

Mark my words by the time the dust settles from this assassination Loughner will be on the same liberal hero status as Mumiah Abu Jamal and Bill Ayers. How's that for rhetoric?

How's that for rhetoric?

Lame. Unsurprising. Boring.

Any questions?

Loughner was a big John Kerry supporter in 2004.

Predictable.

That's weird, I saw a page capture from the AZ secretary of state that shows him as a Democrat.

This was a suicide attack. I blame al Qaeda.

This all happened because he didn't get that red bike he wanted for Christmas, when he was five.

He may have voted Republican in the two prior elections. But, what really matters is he stalked and tried to kill a Democratic legislator.

Loughner was a John Kerry supporter in 2004 and didn't vote in 2008--what are you smokin'?
