Rush Limbaugh: Jared Loughner Has 'Full Support' Of Democratic Party (HuffPost)
Rush Limbaugh reacted to the instantly infamous mugshot of Jared Lee Loughner, the suspected gunman in the Arizona shooting, by saying that Loughner is smiling in the picture because he knows he is backed by the Democratic Party. Salon.com: Limbaugh "jokingly" suggested that Democrats had purposefully orchestrated a mass murder for their own political benefit.
