Palin to Blame
Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot and killed at an event in her district this afternoon, along with a federal judge and several others, including a 9 year old girl. The killer has been apprehended and details are still developing.
One interesting sidenote: Giffords was on Palin's 'target' list for the fall elections. You remember the list with its crosshairs and the motto, don't retreat, reload. Is Palin culpable in Giffords' death? Probably not in an actionable legal sense, but morally, I would say she deserves her share of the blame, along with Rush, and blubberin' Glenny, and the other wingnut morons on talk radio who have decidedly roused the rabble.
Update: According to the local sherriff's office, the Congresswoman is still alive. Thank God.
