The narrative of the Gabrielle Giffords shooting has been quite moving. Whether it was Obama’s speech to Tucson, that seemed to turn into a pep rally to remember the fallen victims, or Giffords husband’s constant updates of her condition, America…

Earlier tonight on The Rachel Maddow Show, Rachel discussed the heart-breaking shooting earlier this week in Arizona. In the days since the shooting accusations have been heaped from both sides but none with real merit. Bill Maher told Anderson Cooper he thought the right is partly to blame, while Bill O’Reilly says that Democrats have been “repulsive” in the way they have approached this situation. Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart weighed in as well, both with the kind of responses you would expect.
Rachel took a non-partisan stance calling out both Democrats and Republicans. Jared Loughner was assuredly not a Republican and a photoshopped Republican Registration document isn’t going to solve the problem of people like Loughner.

Earlier tonight on Anderson Cooper 360, Bill Maher sat down with Anderson Cooper to discuss the attempted assassination of Gabrielle Giffords that took place earlier in the week. Anderson asked whether it was fair to place blame on anyone but the shooter, Maher said that Jared Loughner was a nut but he also said that many of Jared’s ideas are very similiar to what Glenn Beck talks about on his show. Maher said he wasn’t specifically pointing out Beck but he said that Loughner did have a big chalkboard in his basement and it probably didn’t look that different than Glenn Beck’s.
Maher said that there is a false equivalency saying that the left is just as bad as the right. This isn’t true though, the left isn’t bringing guns to political debates and the left isn’t drawing crosshairs on the names of political opponents, the left isn’t calling for “second-amendment solutions”.

It’s been a bad week to be in congress, and that’s putting it lightly. Earlier this week, the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords left Giffords in the hospital and five dead, including a nine year old girl and Federal Judge John Roll. This morning, Ashley Turton, the wife of White House aid Dan Turton was found dead in a burned car in a capitol hill garage.
Ashley Turton had been a Washington lobbyist for Progress Energy, and was previously the chief of staff to Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro. It is still unclear what exactly happened… but it another sad day in congress. There are, so far, no witnesses or motive although it is suspected that it was an accident and that Turton crashed her car into the garage.
