Rep. Giffords is reportedly in surgery, and according to Pres. Obama, others have died.

Giffords had been one of the targets in gunsight graphic promoted by Gov. Palin's 
SarahPAC last spring.

The Republican who ran against her last year used the slogan "Send a Warrior to Congress"
and posed with guns.  Here's an announcement for one of his events:

"Get on Target for Victory in November Help remove Gabrille Giffords form office Shoot
a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly"

This is why we must have zero tolerance for the rhetoric of violence.

This event is going to be used as an excuse to bash the tea partiers.  As Drew and Carol Brouillet
both know, many of the original tea partiers are honest, responsible defenders of the Constitution. 
The grassroots group was co-opted by Republican money.

Thanks to Victoria Ashley, Green Party and 9/11 Truth activist in Alameda County, for the headsup
on this!
