Shit. Shit shit shit.
Jan. 8th, 2011 04:28 pmAriz. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition after Tucson shooting; six killed including a federal judge and little girl.
Word around the campfire is that our shooter is a Jared Loughner, and that he might be an Afghan war veteran. Since they didn't give his race, I will bet you money that he's white. Given the atmosphere around Giffords and who's basically been pushing for her to be gotten rid of, I think we can make some pretty reasonable guesses as to what his motivations were as well.
Sarah Palin's website literally put crosshairs on Gabrielle Giffords and 19 other congress members.
Don't forget that Giffords also just defeated a TEA Party whacko. Check out this event to shoot a fully automatic m16 to get on target and remove Gabrielle Giffords. Cute.
This whole thing with Rep. Giffords is exactly why people should not be advocating violence as a solution to political problems; someone will try it. Their comfort level with violent rhetoric is what makes the TEA Party so alarming, so everybody please make sure not to take the wrong message away from this.
