I think it's exactly the question. It matters not to the media what the guy's motivation for shooting Rep. Giffords was. They will spin, spin, spin and keep spinning until they have it rooted in the American Sheeple's minds that evil conservative Tea Partiers, led by Sarah Palin herself, pulled the trigger of the evil gun, all of which should be collected and turned into New Age water fountains.
What happened, and why it happened is bad enough, but it affected only a relative handful of people on the scene and their families. What the Commies turn it into will affect us all. That is precisely the question.
