Prominent Tucson Republican to Obama: End Politicization of Shooting
Posted by Christine Delargy

As President Obama prepares to address the tragedy in Tucson at a memorial Wednesday evening, a prominent Pima County Republican offered advice to the "consoler-in-chief," asking Mr. Obama to take the opportunity to end the politicization of the shooting involving Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

"I am hopeful the President will lead by example. I am confident he will and that he will ask for people to stop the finger pointing," Pima County GOP Chairman Brian Miller said in an appearance on "Washington Unplugged" Wednesday...

On the same day of President Obama's eulogy, Sarah Palin released a video commenting on the tragedy, accusing the media of "blood libel" for connecting her organization's swing map, which featured crosshairs "targeting" certain members, to the shooting. Giffords was included in Palin's March 2010 list of Democrats in Republican districts who voted for the health care reform.

Miller called it "unfortunate" that political leaders have characterized the accused shooter's motives as "political." "There is ongoing investigation and the fact is we don't know motive," he said. "Anything that people ascribe motive to is pure conjecture and I think it is unfortunate that certain people have done that, especially leaders in the political realm and on the national level."..

3. Kestrel to Miller: Ask people to stop with the death threats and murder metaphors.
Remove the log in thine own eye, fucktard, before you go trying to tend to the speck in ours.

9. The thing is, Obama probably will say that without having to be asked.
Obama has class - unlike that POS Palin.
