Perception is reality however. People have heard about "the target map" of Palin's, heard about the "tough campaign" against a TeaParty supported candidate, heard local officials decry talk radio and "hatred" in Arizona and, of course, the "target" was a Democrat so they'll immediately assume it was a dangerous right-wing extremist who pulled the trigger.
Facts won't matter. They'll be suspicious no matter what is found out about the shooter. The Left will not take responsibility for any hatred its leaders and talking heads spread or its past actions. If the shooter is an avowed leftist, they'll declare that he's just mentally ill and blame lack of gun control and say if only ObamaCare was in place sooner he'd have gotten the help he needed.
When hasn’t the left said this stuff?
They already shot their gun in more ways than one this weekend.
Monday - Friday is our turn.
