Rep. Giffords had subscribed to her shooter's YouTube channel

By now everyone knows that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) was shot by Jared Lee Loughner this past Saturday in an incident that left six other people dead. I won't belabor the details here, but I did run across an interesting fact this morning that, so far, has not been reported by any mainstream news outlet.

David Franke of LewRockwell.com got the tip:

In response to my earlier posting about the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Gifford, I received this email from a reader (personal name not identified) of this blog:

"It's interesting to note, and I don't yet know the significance, but on the Congresswoman's YouTube page, she subscribed to only two other YouTube channels. One of which belonged to Jared Lee Loughner."

Naturally intrigued, I went to the Congresswoman's YouTube channel and there, at the bottom left of her home page, is a section with the heading, "Subscriptions (2)," with two photo boxes below.

The photo to the right turns out to be former Democratic Congressman Ike Skelton of Missouri, who lost last November to his Republican opponent, Vicky Hartzler.

The photo box to the left is blank (no photo inside), and the caption underneath simply says "Classit..." It is not until you click on the photo box and land on the page that you see it identified as: "Jared Lee Loughner. Classitup10's Channel."

Out of the millions of channels on YouTube, Rep. Giffords (or perhaps someone on her staff) had subscribed to only two, and one of them was that of her shooter. Not exactly on the level of the JFK conspiracy, but interesting and disturbing to say the least.
