It pleases me greatly to know that a majority of people in this country have common sense
CBS News Poll analysis by the CBS News Polling Unit: Sarah Dutton, Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus and Anthony Salvanto. Nearly six in 10 Americans say the country's heated political rhetoric is not to blame for the Tucson shooting rampage that left six dead and critically wounded U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, according to a CBS News poll. Giffords Remains Critical, but Doctors Hopeful Pawlenty, Kennedy Knock Palin for Gun Imagery Special Section: Tragedy in Tucson In the wake of the shooting, much focus has been put on the harsh tone of politics in Washington and around the country, particularly after a contentious midterm election. Rhetoric and imagery from both Republicans and Democrats have included gun-related metaphors, but the majority of the country isn't connecting the shooting to politics. The lone suspect in the attack, 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner, had expressed in recent years a deep-seated distrust of the government and personal animosity toward Giffords, according to evidence collected by authorities, YouTube videos he made and accounts from former acquaintances. Overall, 57 percent of respondents said the harsh political tone had nothing to do with the shooting, compared to 32 percent who felt it did. Republicans were more likely to feel the two were unrelated - 69 percent said rhetoric was not to blame; 19 percent said it played a part. Democrats were more split on the issue - 49 percent saw no connection; 42 percent said there was. Independents more closely reflected the overall breakdown - 56 percent said rhetoric had nothing to do with the attack; 33 percent felt it did. The telephone poll was conducted Jan 9-10 among 673 adults across the country. The margin of error is +/- 4 percent. |

I posted on another thread that it was unrelated, IMO. Nuts are just nuts. The response spoke for itself.

blaming the Tea Party for the killings at the Safeway is like blaming Marilyn Manson for the shootings at Columbine.

There has been one and only one poll taken on this issue, and it's results do not match the thoughts I have heard voiced by most.
Perhaps they weren't one of the 675 people who answered the Poll. Perhaps most were disgusted by the very mention of such a tasteless poll and hung up their phone. 675 out of 311,876,913? Come on! |
