This was exactly the left needed to prove their Tea Party allegations and to deflect some heat from any association with Jared Lee Loughner – their Smoking gun? Loughner was a registered Republican in Pima County. Let the Tea Party comparisons continue, ad nauseam.
UPDATE Jan 9, 2011 - 23:15 WST: Since this was posted some debate has emerged how legitimate this claim is – over at democraticunderground.com one user links up this article and mentions Solid Principles ”got the image from the ‘left’, but don’t elaborate where they got it.”. The answer is we obtained from tumblr account via a post on Twitter – we added the above commentary and that’s all we did.
This same user at democraticunderground.com adds: ”I went to the Arizona Secretary of State site and tried to perform the search myself. Turns out you need to know BOTH Loughner’s birthdate AND either his voter registration ID or driver’s license number to get the information. Considering I don’t know how anyone would have gotten this, I find this entire claim to be suspect”.
Thank you user Barack_America at democraticunderground.com, and to answer your question “Why would a conservative website be promoting this?” – we find it important to follow a story, and posting this element is all part of following the story. I too share you skepticism over it’s origins.
"Loughner registered to vote for the first time in 2006, said Chris Roads, Pima County's registrar of voters. He registered as an independent and last voted in the 2008 general election."
Oh, wow. Some of the stuff being printed about this fellow - is it Loughner, Loughler, or Loughren?
Even if he was a Republican, so what? It no more proves his party affiliation drove him to kill five people than if he was a Democrat.
Yeah, I think it’s pretty clear from numerous experts that he was Schizophrenic. His delusions likely lead him to the shootings.
I was arguing with some folks on another website when some leftist wench showed up with her “zinger”: that voter registration screenshot. Glad to have better information.
Because Republicans are responsible for everything bad that happens in the world.
You're absolutely correct. But it's all moot since no fact is going to get in the way of the Left's narrative that Sarah Palin and the Tea Party were somehow behind what happened.
I wouldn’t put it past the Sheriff to share the required information with us DU buddies.
He has been known to play ball with his friends in the echo chamber.
Is it legal to access someons voter registration information
Tucson is spelled wrong.
“I was arguing with some folks on another website when some leftist wench showed up with her “zinger”: that voter registration screenshot. Glad to have better information.”
Just curious- his did the screenshot spell “Tucson” in the version you saw?
Good catch!
everything about the left is fake, literally everything is about politics to them too
The screenshot I saw has Tucson misspelled...I hadn’t even noticed.
What a bunch of bozos.
It is spelled wrong!
Buwwhahahahaha!
it's a fake!
.
Actually all you need to find this information is a voter database like Voter Vault or DataMart, or one of the other services. I read an article today that claimed he was a registered Independent.
I think this evil creep would have shot any famous person that he could get close enough to.
Democrat, Republican, John Lennon, whoever...
I hope he is executed soon.
90% of people in prisons are democrats.
People who live in glass houses should not throw rocks at others.
No body ever claimed 100% of republicans are angels. There are plenty of bad apples in any group as large as republicans (aprox 100 million)
Hoax.
