Former Weather Underground radical on Tucson shootings, political violence

"I doubt that Loughner, sitting in a Tucson jail (…) cares much about who won the 2010 midterms or who will win the presidency in 2012. I doubt that a man who seems so confused and desperate cares much about ideology. Sarah Palin and her cross-hairs map deserve nothing but ignominy, but the suspect probably didn't worry that liberals would blame conservatives for the shooting or that conservatives would take umbrage at every media accusation. If he's a political actor, he probably doesn't know it." —Mark Rudd, one of the founders of the militant Weather Underground.
