Congreewoman Giffords was pro-2nd Amendment.

Not true. GOA gave her a D-. NRA gave her a D+.

I tweeted that a lot of people already blaming Sarah Palin and Tea Party. I said it looks like a cartel hit to me. If it is a Mexican national, Napolitano has to be hounded out of office. She’s off in Afghanistan talking about their border, yet neglecting the border in her home state. KOLD reports she is in surgery and hasn’t been declared dead yet.

An AZ sheriff who says he is speaking with people involved says she is still alive.

Who did it?
Woman or man?
White, Black, Latino?
Illegal or legal alien/citizen?
Background or affiliations?

Our side better get to the facts quickly as MSM will put out misinformation faster than Boehner can shed a tear.

Sarah Palin’s infamous “Target” ad is already being dragged out to blame her.

Multiple Tweets are trying to tie this to her. Sarah tends to be pretty quick to Tweet. She has not posted anything, but I think she needs to. And quickly.

There is no constitutional provision for the governor to make appointments to the House. The seat will remain vacant until a special election can be held.

Feels like dialup. This thread should be well over 1,000 posts by now but. Time for an upgrade before 2012?

MessNBC reporting that she's in surgery. Watching Fox if you didn't know any better you'd think she was a Tea Party conservative the way they're talking about her.

Rest assured that if they can’t associate the perp with the TPM once his identity is released, he’ll suddently become an “isolated nut case” and they’ll go on as if the accusations of TMP involvement never happened.

NPR now reporting as of 2:37 Giffords is alive and in surgery. Please pray for her recovery and all the others shot.

FR is worthless right now, been trying to post for almost 10 minutes.

Gawker.com:

http://gawker.com/5728501/

“The gunman was young, mid-to-late 20s, white, clean-shaven with short hair and wearing dark clothing and said nothing during the shooting or while being held down, although he struggled at first. He was “not particularly well-dressed”; he didn’t look like a businessman, but more of a “fringe character,” Rayle said. The sheriff’s department arrived, arrested the gunman and cordoned off the parking lot.”


Also, would it be too much trouble to upgrade the server on FR?

He shouted something before he was shot.

What do you think he shouted? "Viva la revolucion!" or "allah akbar"?

Who put him up to this?

You know he was a leftie or ROP member. The lefties live out their violent fantasies that the project onto others. The ROPers are just violent. It seems that this would be a good candidate for a false flag incident. It would be a signal to keep those blue-dogs in line and fulfill other, more draconian and fascist, aims of the Kenyan's evil regime.

Not dead. Critical. Fox “oops!” Being shot at point blank range in the head isn’t good news though. That’s a traumatic brain injury of the worst sort. Fox is ‘splainin’.

Fox ticker: "Fox confirms rep Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) has died after being shot in the head point blank range during a public event in Tucson ... others we killed including a child ... members of her staff were also among those hit ... Giffords was hosting her first "Congress on your corner" event outside a Safeway supermarket in NW Tuscon when a gunman ran up and started firing indiscriminately ... the suspect, who also suffered a gunshot wound, was taken into custody."
