Gabrielle Giffords Shot: Congresswoman Shot In Arizona (LIVE UPDATES): I have been reading posts on other sites that you can not blame Palin or the tea party for this event. I'm sorry, yes you can. That this person was disturbed is without question, but 'targets' posted on individuals (by Palin) and political hopefuls who urge people to shoot a gun with him to help remove his opponent from office (Jesse Kelly) just direct those prone to violence that it is ok and it is accepted. There are a few Teabaggers who I am sure are happy about this, because this is the type of country they want. Not rule of law, but rule of gun to enforce the laws they want. You can not single this out a random singular event without attaching blame to the culture that has been created prior to this event. Sherrif Dupnik is correct in his assessment of today's tragic events. Palin, the ilk like her, and the rest who follow them do share the blame. They have made it seem that intelligent dialogue is not the way, that democracy is not the way, but that if you don't get your way resort to violence. It has now happened. Acted on by a disturbed young man, but orchestrated by disturbed politics.
