Poll: Conservatives not to blame for Ariz. shooting

WASHINGTON — Most Americans reject the idea that inflammatory political language by conservatives should be part of the debate about the forces behind the Arizona shooting that left six people dead and a congresswoman in critical condition, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds.

A 53% majority of those surveyed call that analysis mostly an attempt to use the tragedy to make conservatives look bad. About a third, 35%, say it is a legitimate point about how dangerous language can be. And there is little sense that stricter gun control laws in Arizona might have averted the tragedy. Only one in five say they would have prevented the shooting; 72% say tighter controls wouldn't have prevented it.

Krugman and DU hardest hit.

Palin Derangement Syndrome is an epidemic over there.

They've lost this fight. To continue it they're only hurting themselves.

Let's not doing anything foolish like talking them into stopping.
