Then there's this: http://dailyhuff.com/post/2655456065/lets-make-sure-this-image-never-gets-taken-off
Sarah Palin's webpage, which has been scrubbed, including a target over Giffords and 19 other Democratic Congresspeople. Not to mention her "Don't retreat, reload" message.

None of the news reports I've read have given anything other than the gunman's name, not a reason as to why he opened fire. We don't know that Giffords was the target, as opposed to the Federal Judge who was killed, or some attendee at the meeting.
The media is playing this like an attack on her, but they've offered no proof I can find beyond the 'it was her event she must have been the target' implications and playing up past attacks on lawmakers.

As for the Judge, no one knows what he was doing there - a lot of people think it was just to say hi or was shopping as he lives in the area.
Rep Giffords is a pro-life, gun owning, pro-immigration reform Democrat who worked her butt off and was incredibly popular in a republican district. I'm sorry - but I do Palin in part for her continued use of violent imagery and language.

But then again, my member of Congress received plenty of death threats as did I for just working there.
