Probably going over every thread that references Gifford in the past 12 months and scrubbing any references to violence towards her.

Interestingly, the free republic website was apparently subjected to a “scraping operation” over the two day period preceding the shooting.

So, you personally either performed the 'scraping operation', or personally witnessed it?

Were you 'on-site' in Fresno when this supposed 'scraping operation' occurred?

It this supposedly occurred the two days that preceded the murders, are you implying that Jim Robinson is psychic?

If I have misconstrued what you mean by scraping, please explain what you meant.

The Left immediately postulated that this was the work of the Tea Party.

A little bit TOO immediately. Almost as if it was a JOURN-O-LIST planned response.

There are even sites that claim that Free Republic was down most of the day scrubbing postings by the shooter, some sites just said scrubbing postings that advocated violence against the member of Congress.

Jim Robinson already stated why the system was so slow, and why some couldn't even get access.

The LEFT is not interested in those kind of 'facts'. They have their own.

Translated- the perp is one of us, and we gotta keep the heat off us as much as possible.

Myself, I think it's political monomania combined with fear. The Tea Party and Sarah Palin are their pet hate.

Amazing what politeness can cover up, isn't it? The liberals have been washing their dirty linen in public.

That’s very different from “scraping” a web site, where you download all the content from a site with an eye towards data-mining it.

It is obvious they have, in their arrogant and unethical behavior, pissed off an entire nation. They are naive to believe their repulsive actions could not generate an angry response from the fringe that has no more patience.

THANK YOU!!

Your point is the elephant in the room that no one is addressing, anywhere else, that I've seen. While I don't believe that the nut case that did this is anything like a FReeper, Tea Partier, or whatever, what isn't happening is for liberals to take responsibility for their involvement in any violent episodes that may result from their actions.

Things they've done like ramming a health care bill down our throats that 60% of the American people didn't want, and explicitly said so by voting Republican in a landslide repudiation of the Democrat Party. Things they've done like telling us they have to pass a bill to read it. Things they've done like "deeming" a bill to have passed and then calling it the law of the land. Things like announcing that the Democrat agenda will still be enacted by 0bama using Exective Orders, essentially exercising dictatorial powers to enact an unwanted agenda. Things like calling the American public stupid over and over again.

I still believe strongly in the idea expressed in the Declaration of Independence "all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms (of government) to which they are accustomed".

At some point, if they continue on their present course, the Democrats / liberals are going to get on the wrong side of that idea. I hope it's not any time soon, but God help them when that happens.

If she liked the constitution, maybe the shooter was inspired by the left-wing congresspeople complaining about the reading.

Of course the ‘Rats were waiting for this. They have been HOPING for it. It wouldn't have mattered who got shot — the plan to blame Palin was in place a LONG time ago.

Just my opinion of course.

The victim is not a friend to the Republic. Her voting record gives good insight into how the phony "blue dog conservative Democrats" operate.

They will find two issues that your District really cares about (typically 2nd Amendment and national defense) and vote “conservative” on those issues. Then on other issues which are damaging to America ("Dream Act", Obamacare, abortion, unemployment extension, etc.) they will vote in a block with the rest of the Democrat party.

This is how the Democrat Party have suckered American voters for years and one big reason they have maintained majorities when they should not have.

Unfortunately too many voters focus on their one hot-button issue and don’t look any farther. Perhaps some good will come out of this incident if more people learn the truth about "blue dogs".

The shooter was a Lefty pissed-off because Giffords wasn't far-enough Left.

Funny how the NYT misses that point.

I doubt they were surveyor symbols regardless of what internet site you search to get the answers you want.

She was “targeting” people to defeat so my guess is they were crosshairs which means absolutely nothing it’s just a saying and a map.. anybody in business targets their competition... you deal a blow to the competition, you want to defeat them etc. Just words and knowing the left they’ll try to wipe out the word targeting and call it the “T” word.

Survey symbol, crosshair is irrelevant what matters in the media is who says or does it. If it’s a conservative or republican you’re guilty no matter what. This PC BS is just getting out of hand. Shxt happens, had it been a conservative it probably wouldn’t make the MSM.

The real sad part is the 9 year old girl which gets little coverage.
