1. I thought this for quite awhile now, that it was only a matter of time

before there was an act of violence that resulted in a loss of life. I was still surprised when it happened, but not that it happened.

2. Wow...

I said the same thing you did, CharlestonChew, yet I'M naive and you aren't? LOL! Anyway...
This is a tragedy... thank goodness that Mrs. Gifords is expected to make it through, at least.
And it's also sad how the Right is trying to portray the shooter as a Lefty.

3. Thanks for posting the video. It is quite clear that right wing

rabble is responsible for thoughts and acts of violence brought about by people such as Palin, Beck and other irresposible political puppets. Way past time for prosecution of people who advocate violence by placard, voice, or innuendo.
