Default Omg!!! Omg!!!

US congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords shot at public meeting in Arizona | World news | guardian.co.uk

“...Giffords had been named as a political campaign target for conservatives in November's elections by former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin for her strong support of Obama's reforms. Palin had published a "target map" on her website using images of gun sights to identify 20 House Democrats, including Giffords, for backing the new health care law. At an event in 2009 which was similar to the one Giffords was holding today, a protester was removed by police when his pistol fell to the supermarket floor...

...Reports tonight quoted a number of sources, including an unnamed Democratic member of Congress, who said that a number of people had died, including Giffords...”


Just WOW!

Did you see the map from Palin with the cross hairs on it. AZ had 2 cross hairs. I hope this comes to rest solidly on the shoulders of the republicans. I suppose it is always easier to kill the opposition. Starting to look like a corporate dictatorship.

”We need to realize that the rhetoric, and the firing people up and … for example, we’re on Sarah Palin’s ‘targeted’ list, but the thing is, the way she has it depicted, we’re in the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they’ve gotta realize that there are consequences to that action....” Giffords* in an interview with MSNBC last Spring

And now someone had acted on the cross-hairs suggestion. How horrific! How tragic! How crazy is that!

Palin et al. should be prosecuted for inciting this.

Palin like her cohorts are domestic terrorists. The true threat is at home, not abroad.

Gee Izzy,

Can we draw the same conclusion with your "See it Shoot it" motto that you have drawn with Palins cross hairs?

You my friend are an idiot for making such a statement. She was a republican at one point, and is strongly conservatve. She is pro gun, and was one of the members of the house that read the constitution on the house floor the other day. Statements like yours not only make no sense, they are the heart of many of the problems we have in this county today.

Yet another stupid statement! A person that runs for president or VP on a major party ticket is far from a terrorist - no matter which party they are from. Tone it down.
