http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/08/gabrielle-giffords-dead-dies_n_806220.html Gabrielle Giffords, a Democratic congresswoman from Arizona, was shot and killed today at a public event outside a grocery store. A spokesman for the Pima County sheriff says that at least 12 people were shot, with at least 6 fatalities. The Tucson Citizen reports that Rep. Giffords was "shot point blank in the head." Rep. Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, was first elected to the House in 2006. She represents the state's 8th Congressional District. You can mark her on the Sarah Palins kill list. I sure as hell would not want to be on her kill list.

He was "not particularly well-dressed"; he didn't look like a businessman, but more of a "fringe character," Rayle said. The sheriff's department arrived, arrested the gunman and cordoned off the parking lot.

Yes Really "With her border district, Giffords also has worked actively on immigration issues. She has backed guest-worker programs and a path to legalization for non-citizens, as well as stronger enforcement measures on the border, where illegal immigration is a hot topic."

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has now done her part to raise the rhetorical intensity, telling her Twitter followers, "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: 'Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!'"
Sample of comments from Sarah Palins facebook.There are more but they are being taken down Mark Kerr- Thank you Sarah for targeting her!
