rep gabrielle giffords, d-az, shot in the head in tucson

violent rhetoric breeds violent acts.

here's a screenshot of sarahpac's website with crosshairs over giffords' district.

when this happens in other countries, we call it what it is, a politically motivated assassination or assassination attempt.

when it happens here in the us, it's always the act of one deranged loner, acting alone, entirely his own motives, not influenced by anyone or if he was, it was all an accident and whoever said that surely never meant for it to be taken that way.

wake up.

reasonable people can in fact disagree on the issues.

that's not the situation we're in here in the united states.

Yeah, I heard someone saying on NPR a while ago that DHS has been doing a good job because there haven't been any terrorist attacks on US soil since 9/11. Where to start with that kind of wrongheaded argument?
