She is a former Republican, turned Democrat. I do not think that has anything to do with her being Democrat. We will find out as the story progresses and we get the motive behind the shooter who was stopped by a bystander.

Wow, please do not tell me this is another one of those sick and twisted people who believe that Sarah Palin is in love with him, and that he had to do an amazing statement, so she would know how much in love he is with her. That would just be priceless. We would have another John Hinckley Jr. on our hands.

 

Fox news has the correct account of the incident.

 

She was one of the 20 members of Congress "targeted" by Sarah Palin with a crosshairs symbol on her website...because of her vote to approve health care reform. All of them were Democrats.

 

If that were true, it would be the first time in recorded history.

 

Fox news has reported that the congresswoman is responsive to doctors testing.
PRAYS GOD.

 

Thank you for that information

UPDATE: Press conference from Medical Center delayed another 15 minutes.

 

Do you remember all your first?

 

In that case:
Conservatives :15
Liberals : 0

 

During a public tragedy you try to amuse us with a sick little joke, well all you do is show what a prick you are and if you are representative of the the GOP then I hope they never seize power again.

Arsehole

Edit.

I'm sorry I must update what I said above.

The day you slid out of your mothers "renkin pun" was possibly the worst day of her life.

18 shot. Search warrants being issued.

 

I found that afterward by the twitter link. I am hoping that we do not have another John Hinckley Jr. in our mist. Those people would stop at nothing to get their message across and to get the attention from the person that they are so infatuated with.

 

Thikdik, I am going to say this as politely as possible.

SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY.

You goddamn fucking retard! There are 15 people dead and wounded by some idiot nutjob, and you think this some how is good? For anyone? Dumbasses like you make it ten times harder for people like me and Casanova, because every time we have a reasonable debate about something with the Left, they're not arguing with us, they're remembering you and the morons like you who think shit like this is a positive. Nobody "won" anything today, nobody scored any points. Instead 15 or more families lost people they loved and cared about to the violence of a madman. I'm not going to tell you to "grow up", because I don't think you can. I do not even consider you to be human at this point, nor any other form of sapient being. What you are is slime, a noxious perversion of all that the rest of the world has worked to abolish and avoid. You have the character of a rotting skunk, and the desirability of a mosquito. You are not fit for human companionship, and I cannot think of a dog I would choose to force you upon.

 

Here is the map from Sarah Palin's website:

 

Congresswoman Giffords has been an outspoken proponent of Right to Life, Gun Rights and Balancing the Budget. She has been a critic of the Obama Admin on issues such as Border Security and the scrappping of our National Manned Space Program and recently refused to vote for Pelosi for Speaker of the House.

Not exactly a liberal who would be targeted by the far right as a threat to the Constitution.

Voting against Pelosi, on the other hand...

 

This ass also shot and killed a 9 year old girl.

Anyone who thinks he somehow did a good thing should be reported to Homeland Security as they are a threat to everyone.

0 TUCSON, Ariz. –

A San Francisco man upset with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's support of health care reform pleaded guilty to threatening the Democratic congresswoman and her family, calling her directly on March 25 and threatening to destroy her Northern California home if she voted for health care reform.

In July, a California man known for his anger over left-leaning politics engaged in a shootout with highway patrol officers after planning an attack on the ACLU and another nonprofit group. The man said he wanted to "start a revolution" by killing people at the ACLU and the Tides Foundation.
Giffords herself has drawn the ire of the right, especially for her support of the health care bill from politicians like Sarah Palin.

Her Tucson office was vandalized a few hours after the House vote to approve the health care law in March, with someone either kicking or shooting out a glass door and window.

See now you hurt my feelings.

 

A surgeon is "very optimistic" about Rep. Giffords. He adds that she was shot in the head "through and through."
"We cannot tell what kind of recovery but I'm about as optimistic as it can get in this situation."
He also says that there are 10 patients from the shooting, one has died, five are in critical condition. The dead patient was a child -- the only one that came to the hospital.
