"Loughner In 2007: 'Die Bitch, Die Cops' (HAT TIP Lindy Bill) From an ever so discreet Washington Post: 'We don't understand why this happened,' parents say By Dana Hedgpeth and David A. Fahrenthold Wednesday, January 12, 2011; A01 TUCSON – Three days after their son allegedly killed six people and left a congresswoman critically wounded, Jared Lee Loughner's parents issued their first public comments Tuesday night, saying that they, too, cannot comprehend what had motivated the shootings. "There are no words that can possibly express how we feel. We wish that there were, so we could make you feel better. We don't understand why this happened," said their statement, signed "the Loughner family." The parents made no mention of their son. Hours after the statement's release, two law enforcement sources said that FBI agents had found a 2007 letter from Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) to the shooting suspect, with the words "Die, bitch" and "Die, cops" scrawled on it. The letter, which thanked Loughner for attending an event of hers, was found in a safe in his Tucson home, the sources said… Note the timing of the release of this last bit of information. We have heard about the 2007 note from Rep. Giffords thanking Loughner for attending her event for several days now. But for some reason we have never heard about Mr. Loughner's comments on it until today. And even then the news is effectively buried, as it is here by the Washington Post. You would think such information would rate a headline and a mention in the lead paragraph, but you would be wrong. It doesn't fit with the narrative that the media is still trying to perpetuate. As we have said previously, there was no Tea Party in 2007. Nobody outside of Alaska had ever heard of Sarah Palin. Only Democrats were putting targets on Congressional districts. So why have Sherriff Dupnik and the rest of the authorities and the media held this news back? – You know damn well why." sweetness-light.com
