Violence and Politics Merge

I've seen a lot today about political speech and violent imagery. I'm not sure how I feel about a lit of it, but I think this Politico article from yesterday, Violence and politics merge says a much as anything else does.

I also saw someone, in this case Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME) finally mention, "Don’t get me wrong — I’m not suggesting that the name of that one piece of legislation somehow led to the horror of this weekend — but is it really necessary to put the word “killing” in the title of a major piece of legislation?"
