The shooter was on a one way trip with that logic. If THIS was their plan, they were "disposable"; either that, or there was no plan and the shooter is a nut case.

That's how I see it, too. And another thing: If it turns out as fact that the shooter took so many out seemingly indiscriminately, it will lend credence to the "nut case" scenario regardless. So if it was a hired or organized job by some entity, it's less likely to be attributed to such.

Of Course, CNN could care less about the motive, only the right to have firearms. CNN has no bearing.

Here’s a direct link for anyone who wants to monitor how the far left NPR will eventually spin the story, if they haven’t done so already.

UPDATED 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."

Now adds: Hospital spox (spokesperson) says she is alive but in critical condition.

NPR was the 1st place that I saw it stated she was dead. Then all of the left winged hate started. Now DU is sounding all disappointed that she is still alive as they can’t scream right winged murder!!!

The speed of this site is really something. It took me nine minutes to post this.

Good grief, I would think Palin has more important things to worry about than what some nutjobs say about her on twitter. She shouldn't waste her time responding to that nonsense.

Btw, fox now reporting Giffords alive in critical condition. Can't believe they and CNN were so quick to report her dead.

“She was democrat in name only.”

Nope. She was on board for Pelosi on every big vote. The one time she voted against Pelosi, she stood in the well until Pelosi had won - waiting to change her vote, if it was needed for a Democrat win.

She refused to hold any town hall meetings until we held multiple protests outside her offices. She was a liberal as she could be in a swing district.

I've been trying to post that Fox is reporting she is in critical condition and alive. But, our site SUCKS today, it's almost impossible to read or post!

I know. It’s been that way since last night. John Robinson is on it. It’s complicated. Please bear with us.

David “Goober” Fitzsimmons is just adding another nail to the coffin lid on CNN!
The wussy said he was at home and ran to the scene then called CNN, what CRAP!

Before the end of the day, there will be 75 threads on this...

Normally, the mods do a pretty good job. But on this one, I think they dropped the ball.

“BREAKING” is still popping up...

Times like this are when we need FR, and we’ve got a third world technical lash-up. Not good.

I noticed the story I read online noted that she had barely defeated a “Tea Party” candidate in the last election. That was just the opening salvo. They will have the lie halfway around the world before the truth gets out of bed.
