Therefore,

(A) anti-gov't attitudes --> (B) wanting to kill someone in gov't --> (C) wanting to kill Giffords

I return to your initial statement:

"None of [the anti-gov't attitudes] is why he targeted her."

If A causes B causes C, then absolutely A along with B is why he targeted her. It doesn't fit in the category of primary reasons perhaps but it absolutely fits in the category of why he did what he did.

I return to your complaint about how people treat other people:

"Why do people continue to make up stuff in their heads that people don't say"

People aren't making stuff up in their heads. People like you are not communicating effectively.
