Note to Gruber: Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords Shot in the Head at Public Event in Arizona | DaringFireball.net
John,
I respect your technical writing, but using your platform for speculative and inflammatory material such as this entry
http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/01/08/giffords
is far beneath your standards. Please refrain from sinking to this level in the future.
/Bill
In this entry which links back to the news of the shooting in Arizona, John recites two undisputed facts:
Sarah Palin’s political action committee placed ads which put a gunshot target over Giffords.
Her opponent in last year’s election held a campaign event at a gun range, to “get on target” to “remove Gabrielle Giffords from office”.
Am I off-base here in thinking that this is inflammatory and speculative? We don’t know the shooter’s motive. He could have had it in for anybody, and implicating Sarah Palin’s PAC or Giffords’ opponent is highly irresponsible.

This is exactly why I stopped reading Gruber years ago. Great technical and design insight, but that's all I want to hear from him. Granted, it's his blog and he can do what he wants with it.
