The shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (by a nefarious anti-government/anti-Semitic obsessive) is a stinging tragedy. This act of unfettered barbarity has been condemned by all major political organizations (including the Tea Party).
That said: I find it rather ironic how certain political leaders (particularly President Obama) have rushed to the bully pulpit to condemn this act--yet exercised near reticence just 2 short years ago when a Muslim convert (who opposed US military overseas operations) gunned down Army recruiter William Long, 23, in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Manifestly--when US military personnel are gunned down in their own country (particularly by those who hail from a politically "protected" group)--it just doesn't seem to warrant even an ounce of outrage from the ruling class.
