Democrats "enemy" Bush target map

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was wounded in a shooting at a supermarket today in Tucson, Arizona. At least 12 people have been shot, and reportedly six have died. Thoughts and prayers go out to Rep. Giffords and family and all of those wounded on this horrific day.
Congresswoman Giffords was reportedly shot in the head. There are conflicting reports as to whether she has died.
Despite the lack of further information, ABC local news (and countless Tweets on Twitter) have begun implying that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin supposedly motivated the actions of the shooter because of her "Take Back the 20" political "target map":
"Giffords was one of 20 House Democrats who voted for the new health care reform law featured on Sarah Palin's infamous "Take Back the 20" target map last year. The map drew controversy for its use of gun sights.
Giffords' office was vandalized after the health care vote.
To imply that Palin is somehow responsible for a shooting because of a harmless political map is beyond revolting. It is especially troubling in an era in which President Obama has repeatedly used highly charged, violent-themed language, recently calling his opponents "hostage takers", and stating during his 2008 campaign that his supporters would "bring a gun" if his opponents brought a "knife" to a hypothetical fight.
I just reported them.
Thoughts and prayers for your Congresswoman.
This is so predictable, but take heart, if this shooter was a righr minded shooter, his face would be plastered twice it’s size all over your HDTV by now.
The last time this happened, the MSM did the same and the bad guy was a leftie.
Since the suspect was caught, but no description given.
Most likely an illegal alien or leftwing nut.
If it were a white militia-type. His name would already be out there.
From what I have seen today, Giffords is
*pro-life
*pro-second amendment
*pro-border security
We don’t know if her arm was twisted to vote for Obamacare, I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt in this case...but thanks for giving the libs all the ammo they can run with in their cases to prove that FR and conservatives WANTED this woman hurt/killed in revenge for her vote! >:-(
Washington Post reported she was getting death threats for working to overhaul Obama Care.
Here office was vandalized.

Please, everyone, let’s use the correct word here - This is NOT a “tragedy”, this is an “ATROCITY”! A tragedy is a car crash, a house fire, a hurricane, etc. A deliberate act of violence is an ATROCITY!!
News conference; nothing new. Next news conference at 6. If the gunman turns out to be a leftist nut, watch the national media scramble to keep it quite, as they did with the Ft. Hood shooter. Everyone knows the facts that the liberal nut cases out there are the ones that are ticking time bombs, not the “right wing”, that Matthews, Maddow, Oberman, Joy, Kirik, Letterman, Scheifer, etc. babel on and on about.
But who was it that said,”If they bring a knife, you bring a gun”?
Not the Tea Party.
Damn, you are truly stuck on stupid.
In B4 the well deserved ZOT!
But who was it that said,”If they bring a knife, you bring a gun”?
Not the Tea Party.
According to the RAT State Senator that Shep Smith interviewed, it was the Tea Party’s fault.
Bush and Palin are bothe culpable acting under the influence of global warming. Gore has warned us that these things may happen.
We need to be ready for this and put up a firewall and not give up our freedoms.
Here’s something that pisses me off. An AZ Country Sheriff was on msnbc saying “this crap on the radio has got to stop”. Sounds to me like he was blaming coservative talk radio.”
And of course all the liberal bloggers are blaming the Tea Party and Palin. I hope it turns out to be some left win loony-toon. Irregardless, he’s a nut job. If he’d shot a conservative I wouldn’t blame Pelosi. Anyone who shoots someone in the back of the head is a nut job and needs no motivation.
Oh, it’s already happening. I read through a few of the comments on the news site that Drudge links to the story. The creeps are saying stuff like “remember all the right-wing hate spewed before Oklahoma City” and silliness like that.
I find it interesting that most of the righties posting on that page are offering prayers and condolences but all the lefties are doing is spewing hate. I think we all know where the hate comes from, and it ain’t from conservatives.
News reports the shooter is some 20-something with a Latino sounding name. Not to insult my Hispanic brothers and sisters, but this Congresswoman was apparently a supporter of efforts to seal the border and it will not surprise me to find out that’s why she was shot.
I hope she survives and is healthy again someday, as well as all who were wounded. My prayers for the families of the ones killed, sounds like at least one child is on that list. At least some brave citizen had the balls to tackle the perp, and may Sheriff Arpaio get his hands on this richardhead for a while before they send him to the chair. Or the gurney, don’t know what sort of capitol punishment AZ uses, but it won’t be bad enough whatever it is.

I say we blame Daily Kos who had this on their site in 2008. Source Hillbuzz
“Giffords, Gabrielle (AZ-08)-(this appeared on a list of other Blue Dog democrats.
Not all of these people will get or even deserve primaries, but this vote certainly puts a bulls eye on their district.”
If you look at Loughner’s You Tube channel it is clear he is certifiable. Conscience dreaming, mind control? New currency. The guy is not stable. How the heck did he ever get in the army? If he was that is.
