A wounded survivor of the Tucson shooting that critically injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is blaming Sarah Palin, House Speaker John Boehner, Fox TV host Glenn Beck, and former Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle for the tragedy.

“It looks like Palin, Beck, Sharron Angle and the rest got their first target,” Eric Fuller said in an interview with Democracy NOW.

“Their wish for Second Amendment activism has been fulfilled — senseless hatred leading to murder, lunatic fringe anarchism, subscribed to by John Boehner, mainstream rebels with vengeance for all, even 9-year-old girls,” he added, referring to the death of Christina Taylor Green.

I was wondering how long it would take for the media to find somebody to act as the spokesman for the victims. Apparently, they just found him.

[muawiyah]

Oh, yeah, this guy. He's reported as having campaigned for the Congresswoman KNOWING full well her pro-gun rights position.

Now he's kvetching about it?

The guy is senile.

[GoCards]

Very sad and will backfire BIGTIME. Im telling you. People are not interested in this

[Cisco Nix]

A liberal fool.

[marron]

If he was there to see Giffords, the chances are that he wasn’t a Palin fan to begin with.

Its OK. The more they attack her, the higher she rises. She has become the lightning rod for all their fevered fantasies, and she just shrugs it off.

[Jane Long]

“It looks like Palin, Beck, Sharron Angle and the rest got their first target,” Eric Fuller said in an interview with Democracy NOW.

It looks like Mr. Fuller finally received his DNC talking points. Thank God he's recovering and that his life was spared by the insane shooter.

[crosshairs]

A liberal fool.

Why the redundancy?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

The SHOOTER is to blame, nobody else. Period.
They can’t wrap it up and call it Christmas.
They are looking to deflect the blame anywhere but there.

This situation presented a perfect opportunity to demonize conservatives, and they know it.

[LostInBayport]

Instead of thanking God for being alive, he’d rather break a Commandment.

And, he’s going to help muddy the waters for the prosecution. But what does that matter...he gets to use his fifteen minutes of fame to vent his spleen against those he hates because they do not share his political ideology.

Pathetic.

[dead]

At least he's typically incoherent.

"Well I hope she's happy. Newt Gingrich! Currency fluctations! Mamma Grizzley killing us all with energy or low taxes! Bullets at WalMart from Chinese probably. And that dress! Like what if it snows! Fascists!"

[EyeGuy]

Just because he took a bullet, that does not make him one bit less a disgustingly opportunistic, political earwig.

[dforest]

They never know when to stop. That is why this is going to backfire on them.

Too much piling on tells the tale.

Look, they probably just got done putting a band aid on his butt and he couldn’t wait to get to the mic.

I was wondering how long it would take for the media to find somebody to act as the spokesman for the victims. Apparently, they just found him.

Victim shopping for sure.

The corollary is: what responses from the other victims are being suppressed to make this victim's response appear representative?

[PogySailor]

Sarah Palin caused my flat tire today. And Glenn Beck made my soup cold.

[combat_boots]

Earlier in the week, the guy said Loughner was a madman. What changed his mind?

[Niteranger68]

Proof that the Darwin Theory doesn’t always work out.

[day10]

But you repeat yourself.

[micmac]

This “victim” must not of gotten his share of media attention so now decides this is the one way he’ll get noticed.

[agere_contra]

Well Fuller.

If several bystanders hadn’t been exercising their 2nd Amendment rights that day, Jared could have come back and finished you off.

Think about that.

And if you - a veteran - had been carrying a gun that day then you - a veteran - could have done something about this madman instead of becoming his victim.

[Hoffer Rand]

Earlier in the week, the guy said Loughner was a madman. What changed his mind?

Cindy Sheehan syndrome. Somebody whispered in his ear that there was money to be made by playing the victim card and pointing fingers. He's just another useful idiot.

[NautiNurse]

I'm almost certain this is the same nutty jerk who went to the home of the shooter's parents, "to try to forgive them."

No doubt he is a liberal kook wanting to blame the world for everything since his birth.

[Red Badger]

He worked on her campaign, so he’s definitely not biased against the right..................

Remember the “Jersey Girls” who’s husbands were killed during the 9/11 attacks? This turd has assumed their role regarding the Tuscon shootings.

“Their wish for Second Amendment activism has been fulfilled — senseless hatred leading to murder, lunatic fringe anarchism, subscribed to by John Boehner, mainstream rebels with vengeance for all, even 9-year-old girls,” he added, referring to the death of Christina Taylor Green.

Fuller, a 63-year-old veteran, had campaigned for Giffords during her re-election and was at the supermarket for her “Congress on Your Corner” event.

Why would he campaign for someone who supports the 2nd Amendment? Is it maybe because a "D" was after her name?

[smokingfrog]

Maybe if Mr. Fuller had made a decision to exercise his 2nd amendment rights, he could have defended himself and stopped the shooter sooner.

He drove himself to the hospital.

[Reagan Man]

Your anger is totally misplaced, Mr. Fuller.

Jared Loughner should be the target of your hatred.

[Redleg Duke]

He has rehearsed the party line pretty good.

[matt1234]

He was shot in the knee and the back

He must have got shot in the backside and suffered brain damage.

[GoCards]

agree, anyone who does an interview and or knows Amy Goodman knows that this is far left and should not be taken seriously.

However, I am stunned. We are witnessing stuff you read in the history books. Its quite frightening. Its not Sarah P. , Rush, Beck etc they are going after it is the Tea Party and what we did in the last election. They are trying their damnist to scare people away from acknowledging the tea party, associating with tea party, denouncing tea party etc. I will say it again we are smack down in the middle of page 121(just random page) in the history books.

[DaveyB]

If Sara Palin was the shooter, there would be a lot more dead and a lot fewer victims talking about it. I'm pretty sure she as an alibi as to her location at the time of the shooting and unless someone is postulating a second gunman theory I think we know who is responsible for the shots fired.

If one is looking for the root cause for the lack of civility in the civil discourse, perhaps it would be fruitful to look at those who falsely accuse their political rivals of homicidal acts.

[The_Victor]

...by this madman that was so vigorously exercising his Second Amendment rights.”

Randomly shooting passersby is the antithesis of our 2nd Amendment rights. If on the other hand you had pulled your own weapon in self defense, then you would have been "vigorously exercising" your 2nd Amendment rights.

[DCBryan1]

I bet Eric Fuller kept his mouth shut when a Muslim gunned down our own troops, on our own soil.

[Uncle Miltie]

So an attendee to a Democrat Congresscritter’s public appearance can parrot the Democrat / MSM Party Line?

Wow! This IS news.

[JPG]

The AZ shooter was mentally deranged. Any attempts to add ancillary causations is also nuts.

[Heavyrunner]

He looks like that tool Lumberg from Office Space.

[Darren McCarty]

Eric, walk it off, son.

No, I'm not nice, and in this guy's case, no longer sympathetic. He's after our freedoms, and I have a real problem with that. That's makes him the enemy. I hope he recovers so he isn't a martyr and then shuts the hell up.

[andy58-in-nh]

It’s like McCarthyism, only this time it’s not being conducted against truly guilty people.

[Darren McCarty]

Eric, walk it off, son.

No, I'm not nice, and in this guy's case, no longer sympathetic. He's after our freedoms, and I have a real problem with that. That's makes him the enemy. I hope he recovers so he isn't a martyr and then shuts the hell up.

[No_Doll_i]

I want to see his phone records for the last few days...

[J40000]

I just LOVE how they accuse we ‘conservatives’ of getting our ‘talking points’ and marching orders from Fox...

This WHOLE thing is a CLASSIC example of THEM doing that very thing - STANDARD operation for them.

To blame Palin and especially Beck! ANYONE who WATCHES Beck knows that he REGULARLY, if not DAILY will STRONGLY make the point that ‘violence’ is NOT the answer; to “Don’t let them suck you into it..”, etc...

It reminds me of how I regularly get ‘schooled’ on how awful Christians and Christianity is by people who hate them... not knowing that I’ve been one my whole life. Yeah,.. they SCHOOL me..

[SonOfDarkSkies]

This is just a natural extension of the "if you oppose Obama, you a racist meme."

The Obama firewall has been raised a notch. Now, if you oppose Obama, you are a peddler of political vitriol and are responsible for the AZ shooting.

[DJ MacWoW]

I see the press is still feverishly trying to stir up more violence.

[F.J. Mitchell]

He was shot in the knee and the back? The brain must have already been in this vegetative state since no wounds came even close to that area of his anatomy.

[Califreak]

Well, he’s not a very good spokesman because he forgot Bush in his list of folks responsible for this heinous act.

Don’t they always blame Bush?

[Bushbacker1]

Democrats say: "Gosh! The fire, although have been quelled by people who know the shooter, just added several more gallons of gasoline!

Where's that defender of Palin, Charles Krauthammer? /heavy s

[MizSterious]

If someone nearby had pulled a gun of their own, there might have been less carnage. The one young man who valiantly ran to help didn’t need to use his—but someone closer could have stopped this much earlier. Fools like this can say what they want, but one more gun might have meant life instead of death for some of these folks.

[Antoninus]

Does this guy realize that he's giving the guy that injured him a defense?

Some people were just born stupid.
