Both CNN and CBC are reporting that a second suspect, an age-50ish white male, is being sought. And Loughner is invoking his right against self-incrimination and not talking to the police. I'm no investigative cop or journalist but this to me is a sign that he's dummying up to protect someone else who might be directly involved.
Might be time to put the brakes on the 'lone-nut" talk. If there's someone else involved that makes it a conspiracy to assassinate either Giffords or Judge Roll, or both. I'm fairly certain that conspiracy, by definition, takes it from a random crime into the territory of a targetted political killing.
In the end, a nine year old girl died here on top of everything else. What a hell of a shame...
I sent a note off to Sara Palin's website and attached a copy of the add and asked the group to remove that ad off the internet in the name of common decency. I doubt they will answer me, but I hope I embarrassed them.
It wasn't taken offline, just scrubbed of anything that could come back to rightly haunt her.
Palin was targeting demographics and voter areas that could be taken by Republicans, it had nothing to do with shooting people.
If you want to read extreme left wing rhetoric just go to Daily Kos or DU, here's and example

Kos is scrubbing stuff too, gee, what hypocrites
Giffords had been target of violent threats is true, here's the Daily Kos "bulls eye" post

But Palin's "demographics targeting" as you put it, used all kinds of gun rhetoric, the "voter areas" were targeted with cross-hairs and comments from her corner are laced with references to taking up arms and "second amendment solutions".
Nobody is saying that she or any republican is deliberately trying to incite this kind of activity, but when politicians keep using violent metaphors and making reference to taking up arms against their opponents, sooner or later some crackpot is going to follow through on that idea, whether he is one of your followers or not.
As long as campaigning over the back of others is permitted, there will never come anything positive out of it. Instead of making sure everybody knows YOUR strengths, you make sure everybody knows THEIR weaknesses.
Ridiculous.
