Sure. After all, it's not like the liberals have clean hands either. You don't have to look that many years back to see what groups like the Weathermen, eco-terrorists, etc have done.

Open Channel - Video of interview with Rep. Giffords discussing violence
Quote:
She is asked, are the threats real, or are Democrats using the violent incidents as a political opportunity to characterize Republicans as violent or extreme?
"Chances are, you're going to have a couple of people, extremes on both sides, frankly, not just the Republican side. We have Democratic extreme activists as well," Giffords said. "Most of our country is in the middle, but we do have these polarized parts of our parties that get really excited. And that's where again community leaders, not just the political leaders, all of us need to come together and say, there's a fine line here."

I think Senator Giffords has it right.
Considering her being on the wrong side of at least one liberal issue, immigration reform, I can just as easily see some liberal whackjob or illegal immigrant having it in for her.
I'm willing to wait until there's something more than news sites fighting to be the first to report the latest 'facts' to get more eyeballs on their sites before jumping to conclusions who's behind this.
