Except he chose to shoot a politician who was singled out by the demagogues who espoused the political views he was partial to.
I understand that but I still haven't seen any evidence to support the fact that he was influenced by Palin or the Tea Party although I do understand why some would assume that he was a right-winger. In Loughner's case, no reported evidence so far suggests any connection to the ideology or ideologues of the right. The guy was just nuts. He was fascinated with lucid dreams and talked about the gold standard for fucks sake, he was a troubled mind. You say he was partial to the political views of the right but I think you're wrong just because there is no evidence to support that statement.
