Let’s not everybody go into a panic about what the leftist media has to say.

The Holocaust Museum attacker and the nut who crashed the plane into a Texas IRS office were called “righwingers” at first but they were LEFTIES.

And Bloomberg tried to blame unemployed white males for trying to plant a bomb in Times Square. A MUZZIE, is who did it, of course.

Initial reports on Times Square shooter indicated he was “white” too.

If there are conflicting reports as to whether shooter was white or black, it could indicate something in between.

FOX Reporting 19 shot now.

Supposedly a Judge was on-site as well, not sure of what capacity however. Obama released a statement, Bret just read it, nothing of interest.

KOS kooks have pulled a thread pertaining to this congresswoman; wonder if someone can find the cache copy of the comments? Notice the URL string: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/1/6/933828/-My-CongressWOMAN-voted-against-Nancy-Pelosi and in that thread "-And-is-now-DEAD-to-me"

Regardless, if she is alive, machines are keeping her going right now; point blank gun shot wound would spray her brain with more than just lead (skull fragments).

You, me and everybody else is assuming a head shot is a brain shot.

She could have been shot cheek bone to cheek bone with all the damage under the brain case for all we know.

It's a pretty thin reed of hope...

Why is it that the Left can speak irresponsibly in situations like this, and not get called to account? Is it because they’ve been doing it for the last 40 to 50 years, and nobody in a responsible position seems to care? The Left makes the political atmosphere as “heated” as anyone, but when they do it, it’s okay.

Per CNN

Capitol Police are involved in the investigation.

Other Congresspersons and their staffs have been advised to take purdent precautions. [No indication that the AZ shooting was part of a wider conspiracy.]

Palin is already being blamed by the Left because of this SarahPac map which "targeted" those who voted for ObamaCare but were in districts GOP carried in 2008.

One comment already seen, "the blood spilt is sarah palins fault morally if not legally"

Arizona Statutes apply ALTHOUGH THIS IS PREMATURE:

16-222. Vacancy in the office of United States senator or representative

A. When a vacancy occurs in the office of United States senator or representative in Congress by reason of death or resignation, or from any other cause, the vacancy shall be filled at the next general election. At such election the person elected shall fill the unexpired term of the vacated office.

B. For a vacancy in the office of representative in Congress, if the next general election is not to be held within six months from the date of the occurrence of the vacancy, the governor shall call a special primary election and a special general election to fill the vacancy. The governor shall call the special primary election and establish its date within seventy-two hours after the office is officially declared vacant.

[then a lot of how-to clauses]

You could be on to something as well...Just reported she was shot in the temple and the slug “exited out the side of her head”. Supposedly responding to voice commands and woman talking to shep said “she is expected to make it out of surgery; but long term damage is still unknown.”

Praying that G*d grant peace to all victims and their families. No place for such senseless violence.
