Don’t doubt that the left will not wheel her around as a prop to pass their leftist garbage...just as they wheeled Brady around.

BTTT. The whole thing has been staged as theater. Even when the politically-bound slimy husband threw her in an airplane, way before she should have been flying because of possible brain swelling. Whisked her away to Houston so no one would spot her here, but the media could run its daily 3-4 stories about their princess.

That was after BO and Washerwoman made her open both eyes (lies because one was bandaged) for "the first time," more lies. And the leftist doctors appear to have been in on it, as more was revealed about their political persuasions.

Her "fighting spirit" RAMMED ObamaCare down our throats, despite the fact that the vast majority of her district opposed it vocally.

She's nothing but a mini-Pelosi, voting with her around 95% of the time. And leaving us unrepresented other than for her interns/staff ever since January.

Giffords, just like her BFF Washerwoman-Smith, is nothing but a Communist/fascist. Bbut with a more sugary/syrupy voice. Sure has some fooled, even here.

Read carefully.

Nowhere did I say she is a NAZI, though that is what they call us all the time and pop-culture and the masses just accept it as truth.

But the NAZIs had an economic “plan,” and the Democrats are following that to a Tee. They are also pushing that plan with the same NAZI-like determination and arrogance.

If you read Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascists” you’ll see that this is the case.

The NAZIs were a distinct political party. The Democrats are following in their path.

But they are not NAZIs.

Technically.

The fact that you try to draw some sort of equivalency between a brain-damaged congresswoman and fanatical tyrants and commies is bizarre.

Aren't they all the same? You support, in your words, "brain damaged Congresswoman" voting on your furure?

I never said or intimated that Gifford=Hitler....When you're in a hole, stop digging.

You should go back to defending your boy obama sweet cheeks on the anti birther threads, your cheeks are up in the air and glowing on this thread.

And just wait til she is “well” enough to blame the Tea Party for her injuries. Just wait. Biggest leftie lib on the planet. ...well, not the biggest but her best friend is Debbie WS..so that should tell ya something.

I'm sure you're right. Giffords was already spitting on the tea party before. Mostly through her proxies, but even going on the local public tv station to spew more of Pelosi's lies about swastikas.

Giffords had every opportunity to protect herself at that event. Especially given how frightened she was of her constituents. And she never stopped talking about how scared she was. She could have saved a lot of lives that day but chose to be reckless.

And, as per usual, it's the Left who are actually the violent ones. At the one debate she agreed to have in 2010, after the election had already been set in her favor (early ballots deadline), the only one who almost got hauled off for his vitriol was on her side.

And guess what, kiddies!

Sometimes an analysis of behavior is not just a “NAZI analogy.”

Read Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascists.”

If you can think past the brainwashing that the Left has stuffed into even your heads, you’ll learn two things:

1. The Left has called Conservatives “NAZIs” for decades, hoping to demonize them and to paint any “extremism” or “passion” as being evil. All the while, they are far more extreme and passionate about pushing their Statist agenda on Americans and have been successful...largely in part because folks like YOU shy away from calling a spade a spade.

2. The left wing of the modern Democrat party is in lock-step (I should say goose-step) with the major tenets of the NAZI party’s platform.

Wake up. They are projecting by calling us NAZIs and they are trying to shut us up by inventing cute little “laws” that are intended to marginalize our analysis of what they are doing.

What they are doing economically is what the NAZIs did and they are using similar tactics.

It’s frightening when even “conservatives” can’t see through this slimeball trick...cannot see the tyrannical agenda she has supported because they can only see that poor helpless victim.

Yeah, it was horrible what happened to her.

That the DemocRATS are wheeling her around and making photo-ops out of her signing more tyrannical bills is nothing less than disgusting.

Look...we're obviously on different planets.

My comment had nothing whatsoever to do with her’s, or her parties politics. It was a remark about the daily mental and physical battle she continues to wage in an effort to achieve some semblance of normalcy in her life. What she has achieved is not insignificant.

This is Free Republic...a home for conservatives...do I really need to include how much I hate her politics in my rather innocuous comments about her health condition?

After the January incident, you should have seen how many actually bought the MSM lies. Including how Giffords was a “blue-dog.”

I’ve heard her spew her socialist lies in person more times than I can tell you. And I’ve seen her pull some extremely fascist type behavior, including at a Fortune 500 company where she once spoke (a top world scientist challenged her badly rehearsed version of global warming and she had him “retired.”).

She was very dangerous before, even more so now.

I understand completely.

My comment was not directed against her recovery.

It was against the fact that the DNC is using that just as they used Brady to push their leftist agenda. And it was also directed against her that after all she’s been through, she’s still voting for this crap.

Kudos for her pulling through recovery. I only hope the average American — or, God forbid, a TEA party representative — would receive the same level of care that she has received.

But but....she's doing well and we should applaud her recovery and what she does for demonmocracy. She just voted for the first time since she became disabled.

Don't you know she is now above reproach, off limits to criticism just lik our first quasi "black" pos (oops, potus) I'm so proud and happy....really I am.

Actually I am REALLY freakin pissed off.

What a Country!

She’s an American, a fellow citizen who returned to work after being shot in the head. That is commendable and I don’t give a shit whether you agree or not.

Back at ya FRIend....George Soros, Bill Ayers and Jane Fonda are fellow citizens too....get my drift?

I’m just amazed at how accurate Godwin’s law is....and wonder, if the Nazi’s had never happened, what would be the gold standard for immoral behavior.....

Carry on, I’m just here watching.

There's a thread where freepers are wishing Giffords well.

Go set ‘em straight, tough guy.

Twist, spin, troll and lie all you want to.

I NEVER wished her ill will.

You have to change the argument to fit your position, troll.

Feels good to set you straight, though there is really no need. We all know what you are.

Gads, I thought that once she up and walking around, we could go back to talking about her political positions... /s

But you know, she was pretty much untouchable even before this. Even if her debate opponent said nothing “mean,” she’d practically cry. She was coached to a T, never veered off script, and the media always called her opponents horrible things. And covered up everything for her.
