Congresswoman on Palin's "Hit List" shot

Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D) - Arizona was shot at a constituent event in AZ. 18 people shot, some killed. Congresswoman had brain surgery and doctor is optimistic.

Unknown motives for the shootings at this time. Ms. Giffords was on Palin's rifle-sight ad however.

It's These "Tea-Bagger",,,extremist's,,Brain washed fool's. it's alway's Demacrat's targeted by the "Radical Right",,,Killing kid's is just fucking wrong. Braiwashing a young 22 year old is wrong,,,WTF she is a moderate!!!

"Finally! We've been waiting with baited breath for something like this to happen.

When we first heard about this we had our fingers crossed it would be a right wing nutjob.

Now's our opportunity to rid ourselves of those damnable Teabaggers. It's time for Kristallnacht Version 2.0!"

/sarc off

Are you even sure the shooter is a Teabagger?

Present evidence the Teabaggers are cheering this tragic event.

Speaking for myself, I condemn this criminal act.

Palin did it? I am sure she issued the hit, or that's how it will be made out to be.

I'm not ready to say that. No idea who did this or why. We'll know soon enough. She was in that ad, though.

Well,,,Let's see who is Bitching about the federal government? Taxes? We all are in one way or the other,,,But who is "Organized" and "Preching",,,It's "Blind" not to see it's against the "Current" democrat's! WTF happened with the anthrax threat,,,years ago,,,the abortion clinic bombing's,,,come on man,,,IT'S ALWAY"S the radical' Right,,,and a Tea-bagger is just the Right's 3rd party!

It's not ALWAYS the radical Right. Unless you number Weather Underground as Right Wing.

You've obviously already made up your mind when even the President said it's to early to know what provoked this tragedy.

Take a look at this guy's alleged YouTube page before it gets taken down. Look at his reading list. Look at his videos and explain what you see there that indicts the Teabaggers.

Nut job? Yep.

so sad that so many perished.

a 9 year old...dead. for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

miraculous that giffords is responding to commands after taking a bullet in one side of her head and out the other at point blank range.

others were not so lucky.

from what i've seen of the loughner's facebook and youtube pages, he looks pretty disturbed and paranoid.

what makes this all so much sadder is that we all saw something like this happening from miles away. putting literal targets on offices of congress people, telling people to not retreat, reload...second amendment remedies...carrying automatic weapons to rallies...pelosi spoke of the heated environment months ago, recalled harvey milk.

so fucking sad. a sad day for the country as a whole, no matter how you swing politically.

Let's not all jump to conclusions. Let's just stop the hate.

The judge may have been the target.

He had been under Federal Marshal's protection, due to death threats.

I could not agree more, Buck. There is no excuse for this horrible event.

I am disturbed the online chatter I am seeing which appears almost HAPPY about this tragedy. Some use it as an excuse to attack Fox News, Republicans, Teabaggers, Palin, etc.



Let's not forget that the Unabomber had a copy of Owl Gore's book in his cabin. Do we hold Gore responsible for the actions of the Unabomber? Do we make him answer for the domestic terrorism of the Earth Liberation Front? Of course not.

Let us not also forget that a member of the crowed was carrying a concealed weapon and dropped the assassin.

Recruited? Exactly which group does this recruiting you mention?

That's just speculation on your part.

"Let us not also forget that a member of the crowed was carrying a concealed weapon and dropped the assassin."


They are saying someone returned fire, but the gunman was tackled by a staff member.

i get what you're saying here, and i share your disgust with those who take this as occasion to attack...whoever. i share your disgust about those who seem to be almost happy about this tragedy. this is not the time for attack and hate...this is a time for us to unite and stand up against it.

there is a difference between owning a book and the incendiary rhetoric leading up to this tragedy. i cited some of that rhetoric in my first post. i feel that this moment crystallizes the previous concerns held by many that calls for violence, no matter how craftily-worded, should be condemned by all immediately, and without vacillation. the type of heated rhetoric i've cited, no matter what side it comes from, leads to practical consequences in the real world...like the mother who will never hold her 9 year old daughter again.

Just heard the Marshal protection was in 2009.
