Survivor Of Arizona Shooting Who Blamed Palin Arrested For Making Death Threat Against Tea Party Spokesman

Via Allah on Twitter...Absolute Immoral Authority?

Toward the end of the town hall meeting Saturday morning, one of the shooting victims, J. Eric Fuller, took exception to comments by two of the speakers: Ariz. state Rep. Terri Proud, a Dist. 26 Republican, and Tucson Tea Party spokesman Trent Humphries.

According to sheriff's deputies at the scene, Fuller took a photo of Humphries and said, "You're Dead."

Deputies immediately escorted Fuller from the room.

Pima County Sheriff's spokesman Jason Ogan said later Saturday that Fuller has been charged with threats and intimidation and he also will be charged with disorderly conduct.

Among the dignitaries at the town hall taping were Mayor Bob Walkup, U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva and former Congressman Jim Kolbe.

I'm really looking forward to the Democrats explaining how this guy shouldn't be held responsible for his threats but that Sarah Palin should be.

Added: Here's what Fuller had to say about the shooting.

“It looks like Palin, Beck, Sharron Angle and the rest got their first target,” Eric Fuller, a former campaigner for Ariz. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, told Democracy Now. “Their wish for Second Amendment activism has been fulfilled.”

Yeah.

Amusing: Yesterday Chas of Little Green Footballs highlighted Fulller's baseless attacks on Palin et al and then finished with this (safe link to a screen grab at my facebook account).

Now watch as Andrew Breitbart, Jim Hoft, and the rest of the right wing blogosphere go into overdrive to smear Mr. Fuller.

Behold the power of the right wing!
