Jazz, Baraka or RB, any way the topic of this thread can be changed in the forum so it doesn't say "shot and killed"?

Open Channel - Video of interview with Rep. Giffords discussing violence
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. |
Here's the thing, though... the rhetoric coming out of people that have either been elected to office, were in contention for seats in Congress or have been anointed spokespeople of the conservative movement in America is attracting "deranged lunatics" like the suspect (since that's what everyone seems to be calling him), and stirring them to action—this includes vandalization of Congressional member's offices, threatening letters, guns brandished menacingly at healthcare rallies, etc. Of course these speakers are free to say what they will, as that is their 1st Amendment right, but in that sense I believe they are not without responsibility in a situation like this.
