Facts Be Damned!… Hillary Clinton Says Tucson Killer Was Politically Motivated

Hillary Clinton spoke in Yemen about the extremists in America yesterday.
Then she belly-flopped on her way out of town.

Ouch!

HIllary Clinton must have missed the news this morning that leftwing pothead killer Jared Loughner –

“Did not watch TV. He disliked the news. He didn’t listen to political radio. He didn’t take sides. He wasn’t on the left. He wasn’t on the right.”

Loughner’s friend says he was not political.

But, why pay attention to facts when you’re out to score political points off a bloody Safeway shooting?
Hillary spoke out about the Tucson shooter again today.
The Hill reported:

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that the Arizona shooter who killed six and injured 14, including Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D), was motivated by political views.

In an interview with CNN Wednesday Clinton, who had recently referred to the shooter as an “extremist,” doubled down on her comments saying that the shooter was an extremist who acted on his “bizarre” political views.

“Based on what I know, this is a criminal defendant who was in some ways motivated by his own political views, who had a particular animus toward the congresswoman,” Clinton said. “And I think when you cross the line from expressing opinions that are of conflicting differences in our political environment into taking action, that’s violent action, that’s a hallmark of extremism, whether it comes from the right, the left, from al Qaeda, from anarchists, whoever it is. That is a form of extremism. So yes, I think that when you’re a criminal who is in some way pursuing criminal activity connected to — however bizarre and poorly thought through — your political views, that’s a form of extremism.”

What a disgrace.
