Since you asked for it.... 
quote:
A fellow student in Loughner's poetry class, Don Coorough, describes him as "grabbing his crotch and jumping around the room" as he read his own verse about everyday tasks.
Coorough said Loughner "would laugh at things that you wouldn't laugh at" such as when a fellow student read a poem about abortion.
"He was turning all shades of red and laughing," Coorough told the Associated Press. "Wow, she's just like a terrorist, she killed a baby ... He appeared to be an emotional cripple or an emotional child. He lacked compassion, he lacked understanding and he lacked an ability to connect."

quote:
Don Coorough, 58, who sat two desks in front of Mr. Loughner in a poetry class last semester, described him as a “troubled young man” and “emotionally underdeveloped.” After another student read a poem about getting an abortion, Mr. Loughner compared the young woman to a “terrorist for killing the baby.”

Hardly a "leftist view".
quote:
Suspected Tucson gunman Jared Lee Loughner registered as an independent voter in Arizona in the fall of 2006, according to the Pima County Registrar of Voters.
Loughner registered to vote on Sept. 29, 2006, identifying himself as an independent. Records show he voted in the 2006 and 2008 elections but is current listed as "inactive" on the state's voter roles -- meaning that he did not vote in November.

I suppose you could go argue with the Registrar.
quote:
What the cacophony of facts do suggest is that Mr. Loughner is struggling with a profound mental illness (most likely paranoid schizophrenia, many psychiatrists say); that his recent years have been marked by stinging rejection — from his country’s military, his community college, his girlfriends and, perhaps, his father; that he, in turn, rejected American society, including its government, its currency, its language, even its math. Mr. Loughner once declared to his professor that the number 6 could be called 18.
As he alienated himself from his small clutch of friends, grew contemptuous of women in positions of power and became increasingly oblivious to basic social mores, Mr. Loughner seemed to develop a dreamy alternate world, where the sky was sometimes orange, the grass sometimes blue and the Internet’s informational chaos provided refuge.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that the whole trial will be about did he know right from wrong,” the sheriff said. “We’ll have 15 psychiatrists saying yes. We’ll have 15 psychiatrists saying no. What do I say? I think he’s mentally disturbed.”
Disturbed enough to be found guilty but insane?
“I majored in psychology at the university,” Sheriff Dupnik answered. “Based on what I’ve seen, he is psychotic, he has serious problems with reality, and I think he’s delusional. Does he meet the legal test of guilty but insane? I don’t know.”

Zach Osler, in an interview Wednesday with ABC's "Good Morning America," said: "He did not watch TV. He disliked the news. He didn’t listen to political radio. He didn’t take sides. He wasn’t on the left. He wasn’t on the right."

So it seems to me that this person was neither left nor right... neither liberal nor conservative. He was a registered Independent who went off the deep end, started listening to conspiracy nut cases, hated rejection and reacted badly to it.
