"Don't retreat, reload."
Who said that? I'll give you a little hint. It was the same idiot who placed a campaign poster on her website with cross hairs over Gabrielle Giffords' district. This morning her people are spinning the line that the man who committed this atrocity is a "Left wing extremist".
Isn't life strange?

Score another point for the right-wing hate machine, executing one of the major plays in the GOP Handbook:
1. Use apocalyptic rhetoric that exacerbates fear, bigotry and extremism among the uneducated and intolerant.
2. Counter any liberal criticism of your inflammatory calls for action by saying they can't take a joke.
3. Keep turning up the heat and act shocked when somebody heeds your calls for extreme action.
4. Be sure to maintain you were only speaking figuratively and you are being unfairly blamed when violence occurs (extra credit for insinuating that liberals set this up themselves).
5. Keep your celebrations behind closed doors.
