Reply To: Did the political tone influence yesterday's shooting.

I agree with Charlie Hall. This guy was instigated by the recent rhetoric in the country. Never before have people wished death upon a President and no action was taken. After all, this fellow had stalked her since 2007 – before Sarah Palin’s cross-hairs and long before the Tea Party’s emergence. That was during the Nancy Pelosi ( HERE and HERE ) days of rhetoric when a death wish upon a President was no big deal. I agree that we don’t have any concrete evidence that he shot Giffords because she was too conservative; however, did we have more evidence on Timothy Mcveigh? I see where his stances were and what philosophies he supported. Seems like the left has gone from death threats to actual killing sprees…
