Coming up on Hardball

Tonight, an in-depth report on the tragedy in Tucson. Reps. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Debbie Wasserman-Shultz (D-FL), and Chellie Pingree (D-MD), friends and colleagues of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, will join us to talk about guns, politics and overheated political rhetoric.

We'll also have the latest on Rep. Giffords's condition from her doctors at University Medical Center in Tuscon. Peter Rhee, Chief of the Division of Trauma, Critical Care and Emergency Surgery, and Dr. G. Michael Lemole, Chief of Neurosurgery, will give us the update.

Next—Who is Jared Loughner? Was he influenced by hateful right-wing rhetoric? Mother Jones's David Corn and Brian Levin, Director of the Center for Hate and Extremism at Cal State, will give us their thoughts. Then—Judson Phillips, Founder of Tea Party Nation, will tell us what he thinks of the current political discourse. Plus—MSNBC Political Analyst Howard Fineman and PoliticsDaily.com Editor-in-Chief Melinda Henneberger will discuss on how this tragedy affects President Obama and the GOP.
