To the Editor:
I am appalled that the Anti-Defamation League would misuse the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords and the other victims for their own left-wing political agenda.
It is clear that this young man is as sick as John Hinckley was when he tried to assassinate President Reagan. He has wanted to execute Giffords since 2007. Among his favorite books are "Mein Kampf" and the "Communist Manifesto." He was rejected from the Army for drugs in his bloodstream. He is a pot-smoking lunatic who was asked to leave college until he got a clean mental health evaluation.
No radio or TV hosts or the Tea Party influenced him; he is a sicko anti-Semite. If anything, he targeted Giffords because she was Jewish. Why is everyone afraid to say this?
