your article was shameful. your assessments reflecting a liberal bias that is shocking. go work for Daily Kos and leave all of us alone

But to paint the entire Republicans as murderers and inciters? We don't buy into this cheap propaganda, just as we didn't buy it when the media attempted to paint the entire Israeli Right as murderers and inciters following Rabin's assassination. I am sure virtually all Americans feel horrified by this incident. Yet this doesn't mean they forget the shortcomings and fiascos of this liberal presidency. The people Arizona in specific are sick and tired of the federal government's total idleness with regards to illegal immigration. Therefore I can't blame them for enacting those "racist" anti-immigration laws. I wish my country would do the same.

This column is junk. Representative Giffords is a family friend. My granddaughters could've been there. The Washington Post had an editorial warning against the crazies like this column who will blame the right rather than focus on how to prevent mentally unstable people from disrupting our democratic processes. When Pres. Reagan was shot by a deranged individual no one talked about hate speech on the left. Remember Bush lied and people died. Remember when Dick Cheney was called a war criminal. All of this rhetoric is unacceptable and dangerous. But on THIS shooting, there is no hint Of any right-wing influence. we should condemn those who reach and repeat allegations that are untrue. I would expect better from this newspaper.

this article is shameful. To write so pointedly without so much as a shred of evidence (and indeed all evidence that exist points this young man as a leftist) is not a journalists effort but that of a tabloid's fare

Does Azoulay have the slightest shred of common sense? The shooter was reportedly a leftist pothead. There is no way the American electorate is going to blame Sarah Palin for this shooting. They are too smart. Moreover, the attempt by liberals, to pin this shooting on Palin is despicable beyond words. If anything, this loathesome liberal libel is likely to increase support for Palin.

Don't swallow the political bias of the US mass media. The shooter was mentally ill, period.

YNET editors need to scrutinize your editorials more. This was the biggest peace of junk I have ever seen on your site.

The Sheriff did not blame the media or any particular talk show personality. He said that Arizona, today, is a Mecca of hate and bigotry, IN PART, because of the local radio and TV. The entire US could be described that way at times. For the record, there was no improvement in immigration law and securing the border during the entire Bush Administration, nor at all yet in the 2 years of the Obama Administration.. Neither the left nor the right (center no longer exists in the US Congress) has allowed a bill to be considered in over a decade. Both have had full control at one point or another. So you have Rush on the right throwing verbal bombs and there must be a Rush equivalent somewhere on the left. We don't get any "liberal" talk radio in my part of the country, so I cannot identify which one of "them" is throwing "liberal bombs" and painting surveyor bulls-eyes on Republicans. Maybe some talk backer has some specifics about leftie verbal bomb throwers. Most of today, the radio was filled with vitriol about the left being more guilty than the right. But again, I only could hear the "right's" side.

which include "Mein Kampf" and "The Communist Manifesto." They point to Loughner being a radical leftist - which is how he is described by a classmate who knew him for a few years. The gunman was posting on a neo-Nazi web site and had targeted Giffords, a Jewish congresswoman for 2 years (they found new evidence). FYI, Nazis (National SOCIALISTS) are a leftist movement (read Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism").

I agree a 100% with the Orly's article,that is the kind a feelings we're experience right now in the State of Arizona,shalom from Phoenix.

The writer may be wishing for Obama to win a second term. That seems to be the Leftists' wishes. However, it will never happen. America is suffering the worst economic recession since the Depression. And it is worsening under the Obama administration. The national debt is hitting 14 Trillion Dollars and climbing, gas price is rising as America is being ripped off by Arab Middle East oil cartel, home foreclosures are rising, unemployment is rising, Islamist-Jihadist terrorism is rising, and Obama cowing to the Islamist-Jihadist world despite the atrocities of 9/11 and all the Islamist-Jihadist terrorism around the world since then. These are some of the reasons why Obama will not be reelected. He will be joining the Jimmy Carter club of being the worst President of America. Blaming political discourses for the crime committed by a criminal is fallacious and idiotic. In a society where the mentally sick and access to guns are rampant, the end result is fatal. Here lies the challenge to the law makers. Access to guns should be restricted.

attempt and the blame does not fall on Sarah Palin but on Gabrielle Giffords. The ELS Torah code matrix on the debacle in Arizona has the words, "GIFFORDS, YEAR 5771 (2011), SHOT, SHOT, HEAD, WORK, DO NOT DO, IT IS A DAY OF REST (Sabbath), TO THE LORD, IN ALL YOUR DWELLINGS." This makes it clear that YHWH did not protect the Jewish Congresswoman because she violated the Shabbat of YHWH.

The "analysis" coming from the talking heads in the Israeli press is utter rubbish. But, not too long ago, an ex-Clintonista stated on the Chris Matthews show that what helped Clinton "connect" back with the people after the Republican takeover of the house was Oklahoma City and that Obama needs his own "Oklahoma City". Well, you can be guaranteed that they will milk this for all they can - never letting the facts get in the way. This lunatic has more in common with the ideologies of the left than any of the right - nothing but a mentally deranged anarchist. And the Dems are a joke, especially the Pima county Sheriff. Misrepresented all the facts, and as the head of law enforcement, where the hell were his people? And, he should learn a little bit more about handguns - but since he would like to take away our 2nd amendment rights, I am not surprised by his ignorance.

Gosh, Joe. As I recall it was Sarah Palin and the Tea Partiers and the Republicans and the NRA who made sure that a left-wing, pot smoking, mentally ill nut-job, who is insane could go buy a semi-automatic weapon and lots of ammo. Of course the right wing is guilty of collaboration in this massacre. In other democratic countries (like here in Israel) there is no way that this whacko could have bought a firearm. You Americans are so drunk on your gun-lust that you lose sight of justice and freedom. There are 6 dead innocent people who were shot and killed because right-wing morons like you think that if you don't let mentally ill people buy guns then the commies will overrun America. Man, it's not just this one guy, but your entire country that is sick in the head.

The rhetoric on this shooter is insanity doomsday "money changers" end of times only without the G-d element. The profile is and odd one, as usually a Jesus complex on the FBI checklist. That leads to this one being pecular but make no question One World, end of time, currency nutjobs got it from Revelation. Those nutjobs that I personally have encountered in the south, are AntiSemetic. If Israel ignores this aspect, we do it at our own peril. The freak listing of Mein Kamph on his youtube, seals it. Anti Semitic. Now playing this for political advancement of a liberal agenda, will only backfire. Call it what it is. Old school radical doomsday antisemitism. The Tea Party is not the problem.

Palin did incite "Murder". Her attempts to deny it makes her look like a liar.

With 300 MM guns in America not a surprise. The US is a violent society.

Coining the word "leftist" like it is an evil concept. You all feel so safe from the privacy and secluded cocoon of your own homes. Do you have any contact with real people at all?

is an actual insult to the real Boston Tea Party and to all Americans. The Tea Party was about taxation without representation. Britain was enacting laws and taxes against the colonies, tearing down their own laws and not allowing them to vote. Obama was voted in. The Health bill was voted in, the health bill is actually there to serve lower class Americans who work very hard. The taxes that will fund it will come from the coffers of the very rich, hopefully, who got that way by taking advantage of those very hard workers and by selling to them too. I urge everyone to read the Declaration of Independence. It is most likely on the web. At least show respect for American forefathers.

I think the writer is as delusional as the supporters of Obama This is the sort of nonsense that the left feeds on this guy is the epitomy of leftist culture--- hatred and bile in the absence of any logical policies

Major Nidal Malik Hasan, killed 13 people at Fort Hood military base in Texas and the real reasons were totally ignored by the Obama administration ..... now I consider that to be unpatriotic,defeatist and selling of the nation to its enemies

The shooter in Arizona was one sick individual and what he did is Wrong. That's all. There is only Right and Wrong when it comes to politics. Right and Left have no meaning here.

The anti-Palin talkbackers are easy to identity. They are the godless Leftists and the Islamist-Jihadists who are scared of a strong Conservative leader like Palin-the new Ronal Reagan and Margaret Thatcher of America.

The Obama administration treats Islamist mass murderers and non-Islamist murderers differently. They are quick to hush hush the horrendous acts of Islamist mass murderers like Nidal Hassan and get them locked up in jail to be fattened. However, when a non-Islamist mentally unstable person commits murder like the one in Arizona, they allowed the Sherif to make an inflamatory political statement, they get the FBI to work on it immediately, they get the media to spew on it with a political twist to inflame the masses every minute of the hour as if there are no other news in the nation and the world, and they are now hyping the media that this non-Islamist mentally sick murderer will be executed . What about the Islamist mass murderers like Omar Abdel Rahman, Nidal Hassan, the Shoe Bomber-Ried, the Christmas Bomber-Abummutalib, the Time Square Bomber, the Army Recruiting Center murderer, a member of the Islamist mass murderers of 9/11, etc? These Islamist mass murderers are being kept in jail and fattened up by the Obama administration. Where is justice on this?

The shooting In no way has to do with him not being a citizen and the terrible economy.

How could you stop a demented person? This guy was crazy but according to our privacy laws, no one could really intervene. The sad part is that there are many like him around the world and same people that now analyze him and point fingers are the same that protect his "rights".
