What the fuck is going on in this country?

— khary randolph (@kharyrandolph) January 8, 2011

I honestly didn't know about the gunsight map on Palin's website until just now. My willingness to be reasonable is taking on water.

— Brandon Jerwa (@jerwa) January 8, 2011

The good news? Rep. Giffords may pull through. The horrible news? A 9 year old girl is dead. What I don't care about? SARAH FUCKING PALIN.

Well, if there's one thing we seem to be doing very well today, it's communicating how much we hate each other. #americafuckyeah

— Nick Spencer (@nickspencer) January 8, 2011

Trying to enjoy a nice day with my wife and I see some asshole shoots up a congresswoman and kills a 9 yr old. Way to go, asshole!

— ILLUS (@AdamWallenta) January 8, 2011

Wanna take bets on how soon Limbaugh starts calling the shooting a liberal conspiracy?

— Eric Powell (@goonguy) January 8, 2011

It's now being reported Giffords made it through surgery and is expected to pull through. Let's hope this is true, and for full recovery.

Sad. Angry. Ashamed. I guess in 2011 we can look forward to being more frightened of our fellow countrymen than any Big Bad Terrorist.

— Rebekah Isaacs (@rebekahisaacs) January 8, 2011

As this sinks in, I'm becoming really unsettled & upset. I think the implications of this crime are going to far-reaching.

Call for the deaths of Americans outside USA you are labeled a terrorist. Do it in America you get hired by Fox

Politicians need to realize that their words have deep meaning to some, and that they have real influence, even over delusional people.

I'm not making statement today about palin, cuz this tragedy is so awful, I just wish we can all learn from this and it promotes change.

— Kristin Rielly (@riellygeek) January 8, 2011

They spew their hate and think it's only about ratings. If you use Carbonite switch to Mozy.

— Steven E Gordon (@s_e_gordon) January 8, 2011

Seriously, fuck Sarah Palin and her bullshit political tactics. She has real crazies that follow her and all she does is rile them up.

— Zombie Abe Vigoda (@ZombieAbeVigoda) January 8, 2011

If the shooting of a congresswoman isn't proof that Palin and her politics are dangerous, I don't know what else to say.

— Zombie Abe Vigoda (@ZombieAbeVigoda) January 8, 2011

wow, it is really hard to try to focus and get back to work – keep refreshing reuters's homepage…

— David Marquez (@DaveMarquez) January 8, 2011

Been enduring / listening to "kill them if you don't like them" rhetoric for years, and only NOW are various politicians saying it's wrong.

— Paul Tobin (@PaulTobin) January 8, 2011

Shocking news coming out of Arizona… I hope Giffords makes it…

— Rahsan Ekedal (@RahsanEkedal) January 8, 2011

Wow, this is horrible. Poor Giffords Family.

— Inspector Detector (@jeffparker) January 8, 2011

America, please stop this bullshit.

— Hi, I'm Kevin Church (@Kevin_Church) January 8, 2011

Guy who's on MSNBC saying this assassination attempt might not have been premeditated? GET THAT WEAK SHIT OFF MY TRACK. #gtwsomt

— Hi, I'm Kevin Church (@Kevin_Church) January 8, 2011

Arizona, what the hell??

— Corinna Bechko (@CorinnaBechko) January 8, 2011

Oh look at that. The SarahPAC site has taken down the target map. Pity I have it right here: http://is.gd/knLNO

— Geoffrey D. Wessel (@gdwessel) January 8, 2011

RT @SteelersGurlie: RT @DickMandrake: I also notice that @sarahpalinusa has deleted the tweet w/ phrase “Don’t Retreat, Instead-RELOAD!”

— Geoffrey D. Wessel (@gdwessel) January 8, 2011

Welcome to the new American nightmare. You don't need a plane. You don't need a bomb. You just need a gun and a crowd.

— Duane Swierczynski (@swierczy) January 8, 2011

CNN is arguing that it's not terrorism. Was it a senseless act of violence done to cause terror? Sounds like terrorism to me.

— Joshua Hale Fialkov (@JoshFialkov) January 8, 2011

Just heard about the Arizona shootings. This country is descending into madness.

— Brandon Jerwa (@jerwa) January 8, 2011

Sick to my stomach over murder of Rep. Giffords and other victims.

— Ron Marz (@ronmarz) January 8, 2011

I'm literally sick to my stomach. I can't believe the reward a congress person gets for reaching out to her constituents is THIS.

— Joshua Hale Fialkov (@JoshFialkov) January 8, 2011

There is NOTHING more horrific that a person can create than the behavior of real people.

— Joshua Hale Fialkov (@JoshFialkov) January 8, 2011

So, first week of the GOP House: fake tears, grandstanding, Constitutional violations, sex scandal, and now assassination. Welcome to 2011.

— Geoffrey D. Wessel (@gdwessel) January 8, 2011

And let's not mince words: 7 people were killed. I'm sure Palin, Angle, et al would say they were collateral damage. Evil cunts all of them.

— Geoffrey D. Wessel (@gdwessel) January 8, 2011

And anyone who says "This is not the time for politics" is full of shit. This is ALL political. And the Right will get away with it, as ever

— Geoffrey D. Wessel (@gdwessel) January 8, 2011

RIP Gabrielle Giffords. Sadly, this nation continues to go insane.

— Kurt Busiek (@KurtBusiek) January 8, 2011

The Gabrielle Giffords news was sickening even without the Sarah Palin target map added into the mix. *shudders*

— Julia (@mizzelle) January 8, 2011

Terrible news. While a lot of people are wondering about the motives, etc., the one thing we do know is we lost a great representative.

— Nick Spencer (@nickspencer) January 8, 2011

She was a leader on science and innovation issues, especially renewable energy. Her contributions there will certainly be missed.

— Nick Spencer (@nickspencer) January 8, 2011

Sad news about Gabrielle Giffords. Public life is certainly not a safe way to live, especially in a divided time.

— JasonSerafino? (@Serafinoj1) January 8, 2011

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords reported as dead. I hope @SarahPalinUSA is satisfied after making her a target. http://is.gd/knLNO Twunt. #p2 #tcot

— Geoffrey D. Wessel (@gdwessel) January 8, 2011

What is wrong with ppl? Sad sad news RT @Reuters: FLASH: Congresswoman Gifford dies after being shot in the head at public appearance in AZ
