Nearly six in 10 Americans say the country’s heated political rhetoric is not to blame for the Tucson shooting rampage that left six dead and critically wounded U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, according to a CBS News poll.Only 33% believe 'political tone' had anything to do with Arizona shooting -- It seems that the public has been able to separate the spin from the actual facts. It's a CBS poll, no word how the real numbers would turn out, but this is the best they could do for now.
In the wake of the shooting, much focus has been put on the harsh tone of politics in Washington and around the country, particularly after a contentious midterm election. Rhetoric and imagery from both Republicans and Democrats have included gun-related metaphors, but the majority of the country isn’t connecting the shooting to politics.
No word what is wrong with the other 43%, especially the 33% that answered in the affirmative.
