In an Associated Press release of Congresswoman Giffords assassination attempt, the news organization has mentioned Sarah Palin 4 times in the article. Whether the news organization was trying to pin the shooting on Sarah Palin or not, it has brought the wack-jobs from Hollywood to blame this on Palin and other conservative talk show personalities. Jan Fonda is the first moron to come out and blame Palin and the Tea Party Movement for the shooting. Also, Jan Fonda blames Glenn Beck for the Arizona Massacre.
Giffords has drawn the ire of the right in the last year, especially from politicians like Sarah Palin over her support of the health care bill.
Her Tucson office was vandalized a few hours after the House voted to approve the health care law in March, with someone either kicking or shooting out a glass door and window. In an interview after the vandalism, Giffords referred to the animosity against her by conservatives. Palin listed Giffords’ seat as one of the top “targets” in the midterm elections because of the lawmakers’ support for the health care law.
“For example, we’re on Sarah Palin‘s targeted list, but the thing is, that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they have to realize that there are consequences to that action,” Giffords said in an interview with MSNBC.
In the hours after the shooting, Palin issued a statement in which she expressed her “sincere condolences” to the family of Giffords and the other victims.
