Sorry to disagree, GfS, but Jared Loughner WAS politically motivated IN ADDITION to being a nut-case. He was not especially affiliated with any particular political group, but he was very anti-government and heavily into conspiracy theories. One of his acquaintances said that he was panting for the "bloody revolution" to get under way, and that he was all in favor of the "Tea Party." And he had a particular beef on against Gabrielle Gifford.

Let us stick to the facts and eschew hyperbole, eh?
