  • a decade or more of all day, every day hate speech blasting from every TV and computer screen makes this no surprise.

    Remember when the baggers carried signs saying the guns are unloaded 'this time?" Well, that was that time. This is this time.

    Watch Palin try to weasel out of the web page she had with a target drawn on that Congresswoman.

    6 dead 12 injured and Giffords is in critical condition and I can't imagine she'll survive without impairment - at best.

    What does it take to shut up the hateshouters?

  • And of course the apologists are already chastising us for "politicizing" a political assassination (http://aol.it/eD3KnA)

    And after all Kathy Griffin, who speaks for all liberals made fun of Willow Palin so liberals congressmen and judges deserve to die. And by the way, wasn't hit terrible that those commies ad DHS and the FBI warned us a year ago about possible acts of domestic terrorism by right wing zealots?

    What an insult!
