First, let me say quite clearly that I am disgusted that jbeee would enthusiastically "yawn" (a bit of an oxymoron, I suppose) at not only the shooting of The Honorable Representative Gabrielle Giffords (8th District of Arizona) but, more tragically, the needless deaths of six innocent people. Not only a nine-year-old girl, but also the deaths of three seniors, a fifth person engaged to be married, and The Honorable Chief Judge John McCarthy Roll, now the former Chief Judge of the District Court of Arizona. This much needless death and sorrow is hardly boring, and you, jbeee, should be entirely ashamed of your callous attitude.
As for everyone else suggesting that Palin, and a number of political pundits somehow carry any responsibility for this event--let's be quite clear here. The only person responsible for what happened in Tucsan is the shooter himself. Certainly his ideas may have been shaped in part by political discussions that he had been exposed to, but most people are able to critically analyse what they hear and form reasoned and informed opinions; obviously there were greater mental defficiencies at work here, no one but the shooter can be held responsible for those.
