The Daily Caller has reported that the Tucson shooting suspect took photos of himself wearing a red G string and holding a Glock near his ....(rhymes with Glock). I recall once attending an FBI class for sex crime investigators and being told that sex criminals have a different definition of sex than most people do. It's whatever makes them feel pleasure. The shooting in Tucson is now starting to take shape as a sex crime. The suspect associated the Glock with sex.
The suspect had a fascination with Rep. Giffords and a feeling of rejection by her. We know he attended at least one of her meetings in 2007 and came away with a negative impression due to the manner in which she dismissed his question. He said that she was stupid and uninformed. Why criminals fixate on their victims is not an exact science. For some reason she became the center for his sexual fascination which morphed into hatred and the sexual release of attacking her with the Glock. The suspect also wanted to make his mark in history and become known. His shooting of other victims assured that he would be famous.
A very similar thing is happening to Gov. Palin although there is no equivalency in degree. The leftist PDS sufferers have fixated on Gov. Palin. The sexual component in their fascination can't be denied. There are continual references to her as a "milf" and using the "c" word and other sexually demeaning terms. These people have had their politics "dissed" by Gov. Palin. Maybe some of the women have had abortions and feel the Governor's rejection even though she doesn't know them and hasn't had any contact with them. Maybe the rejection is completely imaginary, an assumption that she wouldn't approve of their lifestyle due to her conservative politics. For the sin of whatever perceived slight Gov. Palin has made toward them, they use the weapon at hand, their pencil or keyboard to savage her. They say that she is stupid and uniformed. They seem to get pleasure from the activity of trashing her, so according to the FBI class, it must be sex. They extend their attack to include the tea party and conservatives in general. This assures that they will get maximum attention.
The forces at work in Palin Derangement Syndrome may well be similar to those that motivated the attack on Rep. Giffords, but we won't know for sure until we see if a photo surfaces of Chris Matthews in a red G string holding a pencil.
