His friend refers to the shooter as a liberal.

[Link: twitter.com…]

Not having read each and every post, are we asked here to ascribe to someone’s theory that right wing rhetoric inspired one who is characterized as a liberal to shoot a Democratic member of Congress?

My theory is he was anti-establishment liberterian that goes with his desire for a gold standard.

Thus when his friend last knew him in 2007 he would have appeared to be a liberal because he would have been opposed to much of what George W. Bush was doing, even if it was because Bush wasn’t being enough of a “true conservative” .

Not saying this is the god’s own truth of the mater, but its what I consider a reasonable theory that can’t yet be discounted.

Also I am dubious of someone from Arizona being able to identify what main stream liberalism looks like…. not that its impossible just another factor that needs to be taken into account…
