Blood-Libeling Democrat Arrested for Death Threat

Eric Fuller, one of those wounded in Jared Loughner's ramapage last weekend and who blood-libeled Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and the Tea Party in days since (in all absence of facts), has been arrested for making a death threat against a Tea Party Leader:

Local station KGUN is reporting that Eric Fuller a 63-year-old military veteran who was shot in the back last Saturday while attending Rep. Giffords' "Congress on Your Corner" event, became enraged by the statements of some of the participants at the town hall events and threatened the life of Tea Party spokesman Trent Humphries.

Is he now going to claim he was influenced by his earlier hate speech?

Glenn Beck made him do it...

Fuller has a pretty compact online presence, but it is pretty hate-filled.

Nah, they will claim he is suffering PTSD as the result of being shot by someone inspired by Rush, Hannity, Palin, etc. So they will blame his threat on Rush, Hannity, Palin, etc.

I blame Bush.
No, I mean, Palin.
Wait - no, I mean, Larry the Cable Guy.

And in this loser's case, there's NO QUESTION but that he was inspired by violent hate rhetoric- that of Olbermann, Schultz, Krugman....

Political Pundits Surprisingly Good At Getting Inside Mentally Unbalanced Shooter’s Head

Fuller has been involuntarily committed for a 72-hour psych eval hold, an option available for dealing with obviously mentally disturbed people who make death threats that has only VERY recently been noticed by Tucson-area law enforcement.
