The shooting in which a parliamentary democrat, Gabrielle Giffords, was seriously injured and killed six people Saturday in Arizona, has outraged the American left. Without knowing if this act is political, Democrats have denounced the "poisonous rhetoric" of the ultraconservative. Democratic Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois said Sunday 9 January, on CNN, that some hardline movement's slogans "Tea Party" parliamentary elections in November could cause "unstable people to think that Such violence is acceptable." He then cited the formulas used by Sarah Palin, the face of the American right, against the Parliamentary victim of the attack, Gabrielle Giffords, who saved his seat narrowly in Arizona against a candidate " Tea Party ". Palin had told supporters: "Do not back off, reload (your arms) or" look at the electoral districts as targets in a collimator.
She then defended the use of slogans to use a metaphor to explain the electoral battle. Illustration of the very colorful rhetoric Tea Party, a campaign poster, distributed by the Political Action Committee Sarah Palin, showed a map of America studded sights guns: While refusing to establish a direct link between what Ms.
Palin and the attack, Senator Durbin, who spoke of "poisonous rhetoric", said the press should feel obliged to say that such slogans "out of hand." Republican Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee dismissed the suggestion that Palin could be indirectly responsible for the shooting, while appealing against political violence.
"We must be very cautious as to impute the actions of a mentally deranged individual to a particular group of Americans who have their own political beliefs," he said, interviewed on CNN. The senator also noted that the shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, 22, read Karl Marx and Hitler and burned the American flag, "which does not fit the typical profile of a member of the Tea Party." Sarah Palin had issued Saturday a brief message on Facebook, with its "sincere condolences" to victims of the shooting.
Rebecca Mansour, who worked in his campaign team, defended itself Sunday from any responsibility for the attack. "We have absolutely nothing to do with this," she said in a radio broadcast. Gabrielle Giffords, the target of harsh criticism of the "Tea Party" including his opposition to a controversial law on immigration - his constituency is the Mexican border - and his support for reform of health of President Barack Obama, had received numerous threats during his campaign, said the Washington Post.
