A key player in the rush to identify the background of the Arizona shooter Jared Lee Loughner has commented favorably on an article posted about her on Free Republic
Caitie Parker, a former classmate, band-mate, and friend of the Arizona shooter Jared Lee Loughner, was one of the first to out Loughner's leftwing leanings. While the media was in full "blame Palin and the Tea Party" mode, Parker went to Twitter with her now famous "As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal." quote.
Her comments have appeared everywhere from the New York Times to being linked to from the top of the DRUDGE REPORT
The liberal background of Ms. Parker (loathes FOX News and Rush Limbaugh) made her honesty about the shooter's leftwing leanings the subject of the Free Republic article: "The Last Honest Liberal-Caitie Parker" which detailed how she went from initially blaming Palin to becoming a key voice in stopping the myth that the shooter was in any way conservative/Tea Party.
Her own liberal tendencies have not stopped the attacks from fellow liberals incensed that she turned traitor in their eyes by telling the truth about what she knew of the shooters politics. She even commented on how the media seemed to want a "right spin." and became overwhelmed by the nearly 40 media requests for interviews including NPR, Good Morning America, MSNBC, among others.
If you can, please go to her twitter account and send a note of thanks or a "hang in there!" She could really use it.

Is FR under attack again?
In the last hour it has gotten almost as bad as a few nights ago.
I am still waiting for the FR link you posted to load.
I just sent her a note, telling her that even though we disagree on political issues that I commend her for coming out and speaking the truth.
Seems like they’ve back off Caitie since her take didn’t quite fit the template the MSM was trying to develop.
On another subject do you know if that Loughner FB page which I think you showed a screenshot of and was then immediately scrubbed was legit. It certainly looked legit, although I didn’t think he’d ever worked for Child Protective Services.
Yeah I think that facebook page has already proven to be fake. He never used facebook, only myspace and youtube
BTTT
I can only speak for myself-I was not able to access that page and I tried 2 mins before my first twitter post on the shooters flag burning/Communist manefesto background.
Seems okay for me.
Are your hamsters tired? Worn out?
Sounds like the DNC poster child. Many of the points made in your poster can be directly attributed to a ton of people advising this WH...
It is incredible isn’t it...and somehow they think this is all going to end well.
Good, finally a Progressive that tells the truth.
Under the 100 Monkey theory we only need to find 99 more and maybe it will become a Fad.
It’s gotten slower for me.
Katie its a joy to know there is a straight talker like you out there standing by her views and experience. God bless you.
Well, the hamsters have been under great strain lately...
If you're reading this post right now, it must be working real good!
Keep it off the carpet...
;-)
Richard? Richard Gere? Is that you?
>>Richard? Richard Gere? Is that you?<<
Shush! You’ll confuse them!
