Well, I'm about 90% sure this is a political assassination.

Tea Party.

She's died. My thoughts with her family (and the people of Arizona 8th), rest in peace.

This is what happens when you have politicians calling for open revolt. It's disgusting. It didn't have to be like this. This is sad day for AZ-8th, Arizona and the United States of America.

The right is assuming it was someone in a drug cartel.

Murdoch's Sky News UK is reporting it as a cartel.

Lock him up. Throw away the key. This is completely disgusting. A child as well? I still can't believe it.

Palin just took down the "target list" picture with the crosshairs on the map.

It's disgusting to the point that I don't know what to say anymore.

Barbarians.
Palin, Libaugh, "true conservatives" : all barbarians. Go burn in hell.
And anyone who shares their beliefs belongs to them.
Poor country...

Rest in peace, proud woman who had the courage to stand for justice and progress. You belong to the right sense of history.

Everyone with very conservative beliefs is responsible for the act of one crazy? Idiotic.

When, not 3 months ago, things like this were all over the TV, it's hard not to.

Yes rhetoric like that is extremely irresponsible...and yes, it does encourage crazies to act, at least indirectly, but to accuse everyone in political agreement with the Tea Party of being responsible for her (likely) murder is just unproductive, artogant and dumb.

I was implying the former, not the latter.

Sarah Palin can take her condolences and shove it. Her hateful rhetoric has endangered Rep. Giffords's life, and every other member of Congress. I hope both Palin is haunted everyday of the rest of her life by her actions partially leading to such an event.

I think the events of today have ended any chance of her reaching the magic 270 on November 6th, 2012.

President Sarkozy's condemned the attack, by the way.

Her father Spencer Giffords, 75, was rushing to the hospital when asked if his 40-year-old daughter had any enemies. "Yeah," he told The New York Post. "The whole tea party."

Oh oh oh, report him for excessive hyperbole. Come on people, even her Dad know where the obvious suspect holds their allegiances.

A child has died. The Congresswoman was shot "in the brain". I'm speechless.

Jan Brewer just got choked up while speaking about the tragedy. It's always good to see politicians act human.

Crocodile tears from a Republican. It's the new craze. See our new speaker of the house.

Oh, to you especially: go away. We don't need any more trolls in this thread. So go.

Your side has amped up the rhetoric to this point.
Remember good old Mama Grizzly's "hit list"?

For God's sake, how can anyone deny that this is what they've been telling people? They may not have wanted people to be killed, but it's just idiotic and careless and backwards to talk like this and not expect repercussions.
