This is terrible. Sad

Giffords is still alive, according to a surgeon.

Leave it to the classy folks here to immediately turn this into a political debate!

Very, very sad news. I was on my way back from a funeral when a friend texted me about it. Whoever did this will hopefully fry.

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/ariz_congresswoman_shot_in_head_YFTvsurRHy5OWGSRKnuK8J#ixzz1ATfPK9fq

Her father Spencer Giffords, 75, was rushing to the hospital when asked if his 40-year-old daughter had any enemies. "Yeah," he told The New York Post. "The whole tea party."

And if George W. Bush was shot, his father would say W.'s enemies were "the whole American Left." That doesn't mean it would be a leftist plot. Terribly dangerous and irresponsible comment on the part of the father but I guess we can cut him some slack since his daughter was just shot and he was probably in a panic.

Oh, good grief.. Perhaps he wouldn't have said if he daughter hadn't have been threatened and had her office vandalized in the last year. It's not like he didn't have good reason.

You complain about some turning it into a political debate and you come in here attempting to do just that. Hypocrisy.

My "turning this into a political debate" was just providing one example why naming political enemies isn't appropriate in the immediate aftermath.

Oh just shut the  up.

Apparently the federal judge who was also assassinated had received numerous death threats due to his stance on immigration.

What was his stance?

I doubt we're ever going to know a particularly coherent motivation for someone who, judging by his YouTube, is probably a paranoid schizophrenic.

His only favorited video is being flooded with comments, ftr.

Well actually his motivation is pretty obvious, but it seems a little pointless given that they already got control of the House.

STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT, YOU IGNORANT, PEDOPHILIAC CHICKENHAWK.

If it was a GOP Senator, your side would be running with it saying it was proof of the danger of the "Progressive Radicals" that Glenn, Limbaugh, Palin and others always screech about, and you know it.

Looks like Svensson got scared of possible infraction points and deleted his post Wink

Or maybe someone deleted it for him.

The last time a British Prime Minister was shot dead was nearly 200 years ago.

Hmm, I just read this on the TV morning news when I woke up, because I was at a company dinner all of last evening.

Like others have said, it's a really sad thing that took place there in Arizona and I was really saddened to hear that so many people were dead, including a small child.

Gabby Giffords is one of my favorite Representatives and I hope she can get well again.

As to the killer, I first suspected that he was a fanatic right wing Tea-Party @sshole psychopath and the more I read it seems to be the case, but he could have just been a deluded psycho instead who just hated the government.

If it turns out though that police find on his computer that he read Sarah PAC's targets the situation should be clear and Palin should be prosecuted for helping to conduct a murderous event and thrown in prison. At least if she runs for President now, the Left will have some good arguments to stop this bytch now. And I also hope that centrist or center-left Americans have the courage to stop her, just like Austrians stopped the fanatic Nazi Barbara Rosenkranz in her quest to Presidency last year. Either this, or you'll get another Bush, or even worse ...

Please, don't let facts, as they come in, stand in the way of your prejudice.
