From the Washington Post to The Atlantic to Buzzfeed to to Think Progress to Business Insider to veteran journalist Christiane Amanpour, the touching photo of former Rep. Gabby Giffords’s “handwritten testimony” in favor of stricter gun control spread across social media like wildfire.

Just one problem: It wasn’t her handwriting.

I don’t really care that someone wrote it for her. What I found most interesting is the use of the term, “Now is the time”. Obama used the exact same phrase about 6 times in the first 2 minutes of his amnesty speech the other day.

Its a typical Alinsky style sloganeering dog whistle for the mush headed morons who support democrats and a direct descendant of “We can’t wait”.

So what if Gabby can't write on her own.

At least she is still a responsible gun owner trying too keep guns out of the hands of the mentally impaired, just like her husband testified before the senate.

Stolen from Martin Luther King’s famous speech and the Emperor has used it many times in speeches. The man doesn’t come up with anything on his own. Everything about him is fake and/or stolen.

The point presented is not about what Giffords can or cannot do.

This is a case of the MSM building a cult of personality to further their goal of grabbing guns.

You could say "so what if she used notes". You would at least then be showing up the MSM hyperbole.

Using living and dead human beings as props is so humiliating. How embarrassing for our nation.

I think pretty much all of these so-called law makers need to be fired. Things have gone so far beyond corrupt.

"At least she is still a responsible gun owner trying too keep guns out of the hands of the mentally impaired, just like her husband testified before the senate."

Except that under some of the proposed legislation, Gabby's own brain injury and medications might prohibit her from owning a firearm...

This was my point all along.
I need to work on my editorial skills.

All those using this woman, particularly her husband, should be ashamed of themselves.

Agree! Although the left thinks nothing of trotting out props for their propaganda.

Nobody is using her. She and him are both Democrats, that’s how Democrats operate.

I would agree did she not seem to have some possibly diminished capacities from being shot.
