Well, the Palin card failed, and the Tea Party card isn't sticking. The only thing sticking so far is that this guy's been reading all the right manuals to become a progressive and they want to deflect attention from that fact.
Personally, I think it is the Anti NASA rants that are the key.
Anti Immigration would not make him want to kill Gifford.
Anti Christian would not make him want to kill Gifford
The Judge couldn’t have been the target because he just happened to be there.
I think it has something to do with his beliefs about Aliens and NASA.
Perhaps he saw Gifford and her husband as part of the conspiracy to bring Aliens to the earth or some other wild thing that was in his head. Perhaps the accomplice set him off ..for whatever reason ..or because he was also crazy and thought aliens were causing all of these freak bird/fish stories of late.

from a poster:
This guy is talking about a new bird on his right shoulder. At NASA, either the mission patch or the NASA logo patch is worn on the right shoulder. Then he goes on to say, “there’s no feathers, but small grey scales all over the body.
Now, to the meat and potatoes of my conspiracy theory.
Her husband, Mark Kelly, an astronaut, will be the commander of STS-134 Endeavour. Prior to this upcoming mission, the last for the shuttle, he was commander of STS-124 Discovery, the same mission that the camera operator on board the shuttle filmed a UFO near the ISS.
Further, we all know that Rep. Giffords has a seat on the Science and Technology Committee, where she served as chairwoman of the Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee.
Let’s focus now on the part where Loughner states, “it’s with one red eye with a light blue iris. I now give you the NASA Orion patch:
Note the red “eye” with the blue iris.
And then there is the whole, “you shouldn’t be afraid of the stars.” Many NASA references in my opinion.
Is it possible that Rep. Giffords got just a little bit too much info from her astronaut husband about exactly what was filmed during STS-124, or exactly why NASA is so interested in returning to the moon?
Could this guy have been nothing more than a brainwashed assassin?
It’s far fetched, I know. “
DHS needs to look at Alien and Anti Nasa part of this story instead of trying to link him to the tea Party.
