#1 Condition needs a catchy title and an advocacy group. How about Moral Relativism?

#2 'Loughner Acted, from His Perspective, in a Moral Fashion'

But the man is not sane. That he does or does not cleave to an insane personal moral code is unimportant -- there are some things that simply are not permitted, no matter how reasoned the rationale.

#3 From the article: "It's paradoxical for Palin to demand that we see the killings as an isolated incident, that is, a chance event. In doing so, she is suddenly abandoning the system of paranoia, with its accusations of mind control, that she and the Tea Party were more or less complicit in creating."

Lefty-Logic at work. 'They're not related, but they are!!'

Being an isolated incident does not mean it was a chance event. Mr. Loughner planned his attack deliberately, acted on his plan, and even took photos, one of which he posted on the web the night before. A chance event is when one trips over the crack in the patio, knocking down a waiter walking by with a tray full of ice cream sundaes.

#6 This guy is ~~full of shit~~ a muddle. He takes the term paranoid, explains some well known events and changes the definition to fit the story, then goes on to say that there is unlimited ways to define the paranoid assassin? An open ended definition.

Then I look:
Manfred Schneider teaches new literature, aesthetics and literary media at the Ruhr University in Bochum. His publications focus primarily on outsiders of modern society...

It is what I call Nostradamus Theory. That is, Nostradamus predicted the future but can only be interpreted after an event happens and the passage is liberally interpreted to fit that event.

#7 I can accept that Loughner acted within a consistent set of internal principles, bat-shit crazy though they may be. But to make the leap to saying he acted morally is to remove all meaning from the word. Garbage in, garbage out.

I did like the ""we look to archetypes of evil: communism, fascism or the media" bit, though.

#8 The creep was a pro-pot activist and user. Some colored him as an actor in a "Tea Party" script. Pure baloney.
