Can she cogently communicate? Can she clearly think? Is her freak husband exploiting her?
I wish she would go away.
I’m very sorry she got shot, and has permanent injury. Very sorry about what happened to her.
But, the left is using her. They set up a situation in which we’re not supposed to say anything when Gabby speaks, because after all, she was shot, so she allegedly has this great credibility and wisdom on gun control issues.
The left does this on other issues too. They set terms of debate/discussion in which one is hateful, racist, bigoted, etc.
For example, if you oppose homosexual marriage, you are an anti-homosexual bigot.
If you oppose affirmative action, you are a racist.
If you oppose illegal immigration, you are xenophobic and hate Latinos and other minorities.
If you oppose global warming, you are actually in favor of despoiling the environment. You hate the polar bears, and want them to die off. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
On the issues of guns, I feel that they are using Gabby Giffords, because of the fact that she got shot. And they put us in a position to be lacking sympathy for her if we say anything against what she wants us to do.
I think you can be both sympathetic for her condition, and still oppose what she stands for.
