Politically Charged Violence - Who's Responsible?

[citybutch]

She is a Blue Dog Democrat... an acknowledged sub organization of the Democratic party... many of whom refuse to pay dues to the Democratic platform. She is, unlike most Blue Dogs, pro-choice and very supportive of LGBT rights. She is a member of the House LGBT Equality Caucus...

The only stated position for the Blue Dogs is fiscal conservatism. I think that most of them tend to be "socially conservative" though... whatever that means (to me a more appropriate term would be socially backwards!). She says she was once Republican...

I do find it a bit disturbing to suggest that any member of the House is an 'inconsequential politician'. I am sure that no one in her district thought she was inconsequential before she was shot. Giffords is a 3 term House member.

I watched part of the memorial service and I was a bit skeeved at all the cheering and clapping and hooting and hollering that went on................and it was during the entire service, not just during Obama's words to the country.
