House of Reps. member Giffords shot in Arizona today

Sure...Daily Kos was blaming Palin less than an hour after the incident. They had Sara's graphic up at 10:50 am....Giffords was shot at around 10 am.

here is no working with someone who... (6+ / 0-)
... wants to kill you.

Unfortunately, it looks like the enemy within is becoming increasingly brazen. Forceful action must be taken to end this before it gets worse.

She should be arrested and made to answer (13+ / 0-)
for her inciting violence.

Time to go after Palin and FOX for this (15+ / 0-)
Start writing Letters to the Editor. Palin is responsible for puttinga target on this woman---a wife and mother. We cannot condemn her enough.

I suggest, as you know, that people who publish this kind of rabble rousing bullshit... including Ms. Palin , who has voluntarily taken on the mantle of leadership of the far right...IS partially responsible.

plain how Sara Palin was held responsible by liberals for the actual shooting

Officials in Arizona are looking for a second suspect in the shooting just outside of Tucson but declined to elaborate other than to say they have a picture of the person and would like to find him

Sheriff Clarence W. Dupnik said there is "some reason to believe" that the 22-year-old suspect they have in custody did not act alone.

"He has kind of a troubled past, I can tell you that," Mr. Dupnik said of the person in custody. He would not reveal his name, though many reports have said he is Jared Lee Loughner.

"We are not convinced that he acted alone. There is some reason to believe that he came to this location with another individual. That the other individual may in some way be involved."

But the sheriff said that he could not disclose more information. "As much as we would like to find this person, and we have pictures of him" he declined to provide information.

The sheriff later said that the second suspect was a white man in his 50s.

When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And, unfortunately, Arizona I think has become sort of the capital. We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry.

It's not unusual for all public officials to get threats constantly, myself included. And that's the sad thing of what's going on in America. Pretty soon, we're not going to be able to find reasonable, decent people who are willing to subject themselves to serve in public office ...

Let me just say one thing, because people tend to poo-poo this business about all the vitriol that we hear inflaming the American public by people who make a living off of doing that. That may be free speech. But it's not without consequences.
