If that isn't politically motivated then is? Did you also miss where he produced a series of anti-government and anti-immigration You Tube videos and made similar posts on his social networking pages?

Yes he is anti-government...any government....that has nothing to do with partisan politics. Not sure why you are arguing against that as it has been well established to this point and pretty much even argued by you when you posted this...

"Mr. Montanaro recalled his friend developed "a hate for government and just how everything was systematic...He thought government controlled people too much.""
"I really can't understand why Jared was so interested in Giffords," Mr. Montanaro said. "I imagine it was simply because she was the most accessible."

Politics and government are seperate things.

No, Giffords was shot because she pissed off the kid 3 years earlier. What was it that pissed him off so bad again? Her political stance on issues the kid didn't like

False.
He stated it was because of his perception that she treated him at a previous rally (much like the one on Saturday) very poorly or didnt give him enough of her time.
Quote:
So he gunned down a politician at a political rally after leaving behind notes about politics and assassination. How do you construe that not being politically motivated

Again...politics and government are not one and the same although no question linked.
She was not shot because she was a Democrat, she was shot because she was a politician...period. One he was familiar with. In fact i read something earlier today where it was explained that he had a big problem with George W as well.
This guy shot these people because he is batcrap crazy...not because of inflammatory political rhetoric.
That being said, I agree the crap has to stop as even if this particular scumbag wasn't motivated by the nonsense, its not a very hard stretch to see that exact thing happen in the near future with some other nutbar.
