About this cartoon: A troubled young man in Tucson, Arizona, opened fire at a political rally, killing a federal judge and several other people and nearly killing a moderate Democratic Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords. Violent rhetoric on talk radio and in political campaigns, especially from the far right, was believed to play a role in setting off the gunman.
