Tucson shooting victim blames Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Sharron Angle


By KENDRA MARR | 1/14/11 12:13 PM EST

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.


“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.

1. K&R
Bravo! As a veteran and victim, he has truly earned the right to call out the hate-mongering chicken hawks.

19. They will, absolutely...
...just like they attacked 9/11 victims and their families, Nick Berg's father, and so on. The right always hates it when survivors speak up for themselves.

3. Here come the "free speech" republicans to say
he has no right to that opinion, and acting like they are being crucified because they should never have to take any responsibility for anything they say ever. Only liberals can be criticized for something they say. Criticizing Republicans is ALWAYS unfair, and attack, and victimizing! WAAAAAH!

5. Oh, what does Fuller know?
He just got shot; Sarah, John, Glenn and Sharron all go on teevee, and sometimes people say mean things about them! That's what a victim is. Anybody can take a bullet, but real victims are on teevee.

6. Vicious radio and tv attacks against him to begin in 3....2....1.....
I expect teahadists to attack his military record, and say horrible things like the gunman SHOULD have killed him, what a pity he didn't, yadda yadda yadda.

13. I blame them also....
and I wonder how Gabby Giffords is going to feel about this. Especially in light of her video when she is stating that she is in the crosshairs of some crap put online by Sarah Palin.

I know they can't be charged...but I still blame them!!!

14. I would love to see a lawyer take on this case to sue these enablers
If the lawyer won the case against just 1 of them, even after taking his contingency fee, the victim would e financially set for life. His wounds sound as if he will be in unrelenting pain for the rest of his life

16. He should file lawsuits against them and let a jury decide who is at fault
That would settle the matter once and for all.

22. Checked the right-wing websites
and some of them are actually egging Mark Levin on to sue this VICTIM for "Blood Libel".

I saw it with my own eyes...and I still don't believe it. The mentality is from another galaxy, sick and vile.
