With one massive historical notation: no.
Most American political assassins and attempted assassins have been Leftists. Anarchists, Socialists, Communists and, now, a Nihilist.
I would suggest you check out the incredibly-researched and detailed link here at The Crank Files.
Beamish has researched the topic in a way that I couldn’t begin to touch with the available time in my current life.
For that reason, please click on the link above and read thoroughly. Revelatory, indeed.
I hate it when facts get in the way of a good Leftist meme.
By the way, anyone mention that Giffords was a gun chick who actually wanted to close the borders? Nah. Doesn’t fit the meme. That puts her too uncomfortably close to Palin. Bad. Can’t have that. Palin = bad = Conservative = Must Destroy. We are Borg.

P.S.
This is it for the topic. I’m done. Exhausted. Leftists are left with sand falling through their fingers. Even the president excoriates Leftists for their inane ploys.
P.P.S.
You WISH your governor looked like Sarah Palin. Hell, my former governor was on steroids the bulk of his life.
By the way, anyone mention that Giffords was a gun chick who actually wanted to close the borders? Nah. Doesn’t fit the meme. That puts her too uncomfortably close to Palin.
Every time a liberal or leftist tries to tell me that Palin is at fault for Loughner’s doings, I’m going to slame that liberal or leftist with that comparison with Palin.
As for Beamish’s essay, what can I say? Beamish rocks!
Thanks for the link.
Believe it or not, my Wikipedia-fueled lengthy post is STILL not finished. I’ve still got around 20 to 30 left-wing murderers and would-be murders to add, mostly from the left-wing Italian anarchist / unionized labor activist / Mafia crime syndicate period of the eternal revolution.
I’ll also be adding some references to instances of good ol’ fashioned left-on-left internecine violence, just to keep it real for the left-wing black and white nationalists that kill each other to be the leaders of their sundry groups.
His is much better than the one I put up some time ago… didn’t have the time to do that sort of research, obviously.
AOW,
Don’t you know a crosshairs graphic on a Facebook page leapt off the internet (these new 3D plasma screen monitors are the shizzle) and walked on to a grocery store parking lot and shot 20 people?
AOW: he does, in fact, ROCK. No disputation.
Beamish: migawd, the research you must have put into that post! That in and of itself warrants reference!
And I BELIEVE you in terms of unfinished business. You could make a real PROJECT out of that focus.
AJ & Beamish: yeah. Right. Techno is responsible.

Hello Leftists??
Bullshit repealed HERE and on The Crank Files!

Thanks for the link, BZ…
But couldn’t you use a real photo of Governor Palin?
That’s not her; it’s photoshopped. Try this one instead:

cj: I knew someone would ask me about this.
And my point is this: Palin is what she is. If she’s a Hot Chick then she is. But she is much more than that. You DIMINISH her when you try to say she ISN’T.
If she’s an imbecile, then she is what she is. If she’s hot PLUS she has a logical circle, then that stands as it is.
The Left, frankly, hates her because she carries a body PLUS she carries serious political WEIGHT.
And no, it’s not Photoshopped.
If you know something about rifles, the rifle she carries is a PELLET rifle.
And THAT’S about as serious as she got at that particular moment.
But make no mitsake; I really LIKE the photo you referenced!
BZ
Palin is done. Good bye to a stupid, hateful person.

BZ –
I can provide a link to the photo that Governor Palin’s head shot was taken from.
That photo has been photoshopped to further the image that Governor Palin is an air-headed bimbo.
I have no problem admitting she is a beautiful woman but I don’t understand why you think that photo is a flattering one. It isn’t and it isn’t Governor Palin.

Also Giffords was AGAINST Obamacare. The Left is trying to use her and the shooting to push Republicans into not trying to undo Obamacare, but this is what Giffords would have wanted.
Giffords was almost a RINO Republican, rather than a true Democrat.
(p.s. I think that image of Palin is actually a photoshop, not her body, but I could be wrong. I think the Left put that out when she was selected as VP candidate for the RINO John McCain)

Good post and a good link, he’s done a nice job with it. And yeah, the LWL cannot stand the fact that we counter all their BS…
Then I may have to stand corrected. But I put that out there because I think there’s nothing wrong with having a nicely tuned woman in politics. Right or wrong, like her or hate her, she got dumped on by the Left.
I’d enjoy the link indicating a Photoshop job. If so, someone did a very nice job.

BZ –
I wasn’t going to pursue this because, in the end, I don’t think it will matter.
Here’s the photo I believe the headshot was taken from:
http://www.onlineusanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/sarah-palin-alaska.jpg
And, to be honest, I can’t believe you think Governor Palin wanders around a swimming pool with a pellet gun posing for photographs in a bikini.
Another point – Governor Palin is a runner. Whoever that body belongs to clearly isn’t. Find a photo of her dressed in her running gear that she had taken for Runners magazine (I think that’s what it is called) and tell me that body is the same one.
It isn’t.
Oh, and one more comment – everything I’ve read about Governor Palin portrays her as modesty, almost shy to the point that she didn’t want to appear in a swimsuit during her beauty pagenant days.
