When violence such as this happens, we should all come together to mourn and help with whatever the situation calls for, instead of using it to point fingers at the other side and blame them for it. It is not the time to play this immature game of which side has done what to whom and rehash through that. The point is to have a goal to end the violence, not pointing fingers at each other, in an attempt to label the other side of the poiitical spectrum as the bad guys.
I agree that violent acts like this--violence directed people because their beliefs differ from one's own--are reprehensible and shouldn't ever happen.
There are always trolls that come out of the woodwork--like the people who cheer when their hated political figures get cancer (e.g., Tony Snow)--but I guess you just have to ignore them.

It was newsworthy enough for you to debate. Are you now saying that this politically motivated shooting is not newsworthy after all?
I'm not saying that it isn't newsworthy. I'm saying that before you blame news stations for not reporting it, you're gonna have to establish that they should have reported it.
