Sharron Angle Defends Herself Against Ties to Arizona Shooting
Washington Post ^ | 1/13/11 | Steve Tetreault - Stephens Washington Bureau

Sharron Angle on Wednesday rejected criticism that she shares responsibility for creating a charged political atmosphere that might have contributed to the mass shooting in Arizona.

"The despicable act in Tucson is a horrifying and senseless tragedy and should be condemned as a single act of violence by a single unstable individual," Angle said in a statement that laid blame solely on the man authorities said attempted to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., on Saturday.

Six people were killed; Giffords was among the wounded.

Angle said efforts to blame her or other Tea Party figures in the attack were "irresponsible." She said suspect Jared Loughner "was obsessed with his twisted plans long before the Tea Party movement began."

Am I missing something? It was a liberal shooting at a conservative. More likely Al Franken’s fault.

The New York Times and the Washington ComPost are almost as bad as Loughner for stirring up these despicable charges.

Have they called on representatives of the pothead schizophrenic community to apologize yet?

Probably they are going after Nevada politicians because they heard he was a gamer.

Time to rebuke instead of defend.

I read this differently. Sharron did not defend herself; she condemned the blood libel.
