Assassination

It took just hours for the media to finger the villain responsible for the shooting of US Democratic congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

The now-infamous crosshairs image

It was Sarah Palin what done it, officer. And other Right-wingers just like that witch.

Such is the deranged hatred that so many on the Left feel for the former Republican vice-presidential candidate.
