Arizona GOP Releases Wanted Poster With Bullet Holes Around Democratic Candidates FaceAlice OllsteinFollow Politics Reporter @ThinkProgress
The image has outraged many in the state, as it comes just five years after another Arizona Democratic congresswoman was shot in the head at a public event.
Former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ), who survived the attempted assassination in 2011 but remains partially paralyzed with limited speech, joined the chorus of voices demanding the state GOP remove the irresponsible poster and apologize.

(7,004 posts)Whoever is responsible for this disgusting campaign should be held accountable BEFORE anything happens.
Was anyone who incited the violence the last time around held accountable or just the dumb@ss who pulled the trigger?
What are the authorities waiting for? If we called for that, there would be an agent at our door within 20 minutes.

(10,602 posts)Republicans have the attitude that as long as a candidate gets attacked is just a Democrat or progressive it is no big deal really. And that is the way they treat the attack on Giffords. They mock her efforts on guns control even though her public appearance reveals how badly she has been effected. They only shed crocodile tears really. Fuck those hypocritical bastards.
Now they put a target on a Democrat and THAT IS OK. Simply bullshit.

Ann Kirkpatrick the current congressman from the 1st Congressional District in Arizonia is who the picture is trying to show...She is running against Mc Cain
