gingrichNewt Gingrich is upset with liberals who are blaming conservatives for the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The former speaker of the House and possible 2012 presidential hopeful said Monday that some people on the left jumped too quickly to conclusions about accused gunman Jared Lee Loughner.

“[P]eople who would immediately scream about ethnic profiling, people who on the left have every possible incentive to never allow anyone to draw conclusions, suddenly say things that are just factually untrue,” Gingrich said on Chicago’s WLS radio station.

“There’s no evidence that I know of that this person was anything except nuts,” he said, later adding, “This person was apparently by any reasonable standard deranged.”

If anything, Gingrich hinted, Loughner might be left-leaning.

“Certainly, the books that he had in his library tended to be left wing, much more Marxist and communist,” Gingrich said. “He was apparently an atheist. He was by no standard that I know of had any connection with any tea party of any kind.”

Gingrich also defended the use of militaristic language in political discourse.

“In a country with free speech, people occasionally use strong language,” he said.
