U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot in the head outside a grocery store in Tucson while holding a public event, Arizona Public Media reported Saturday. The Democrat, who was re-elected to her third term in November, was hosting a "Congress on Your Corner" event at the Safeway in northwest Tucson when a gunman ran up and started shooting, according to Peter Michaels, news director of Arizona Public Media. At least nine other people, including members of her staff, were hurt. Giffords was transported to University Medical Center in Tucson. Her condition was not immediately known. Giffords was talking to a couple when the suspect ran up firing indiscriminately and then ran off, Michaels said. The suspect was tackled by a bystander and taken into custody. He was not injured. Giffords was first elected to represent Arizona's 8th District in 2006. The "Congress on Your Corner" events allow constituents to present their concerns directly to her. More details to come.

In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. ... The heresy of heresies was common sense. http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=16281&Disp=9#C9 SUMMARY: Socialists refuse to accept reality.
From http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2011/01/reports-arizona-rep- gabrielle.html?hpid=topnews Last March, Giffords was one of 10 House Democrats who were the subject of harassment over their support for the national health care overhaul. At the time, the front door of Giffords' Tucson office had been shattered in an early morning incident.

Well, Bristol's in place and ready to take over the seat. Way to go Sarah! You did much better on this than you did with that drugged caribou.
“Reagan nearly tripled the deficit in his eight years, and never made a realistic proposal for cutting it. As the biographer Lou Cannon noted, it was unfair for critics to say that Reagan was trying to balance the budget on the backs of the poor, since ‘he never seriously attempted to balance the budget at all.’ ” - Garry Wills
This is just a coincidence, I'm sure. “Reagan nearly tripled the deficit in his eight years, and never made a realistic proposal for cutting it.

From a certain point of view, it could be argued that she is truly the first victim of obamacare... But then again, considering her office was shot up, and she didn't take the hint, I can't say I'm terribly surprised. The "let them eat cake" attitude of the Socialists (Pelosi being the most overt) makes such actions inevitable. IMO.

Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.
that comment shows just what a sick cocksucker you are,
I'm interested about this point. No mention so far, as to the details of the shooter.

No, it shows why idiot politicians like Palin shouldn't use target and gun analogies against their opponents. I do understand why that would be beyond your comprehension level, though.

Imagine that. The guy was tackled and turned over to the police. Media doesn't interview the guy who caught him, though you would think he would be the natural interview.

I thought it showed he's hilarious.
Apparently Alaska's half-wit, half-term governor has deleted this graphic from her Facebook page. Feeling a little guilty, perhaps, or more likely just going into hiding.

We’re paying particular attention to those House members who voted in favor of Obamacare and represent districts that Senator John McCain and I carried during the 2008 election. Three of these House members are retiring – from Arkansas’s 2nd district, Indiana’s 8th district, and Tennessee’s 6th district – but we’ll be working to make sure that those who replace them are Commonsense Conservatives. The others are running for re-election, and we’re going to hold them accountable for this disastrous Obamacare vote. They are: Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ-1), Harry E. Mitchell (AZ-5), Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-8), John Salazar (CO-3), Betsy Markey (CO-4). Allen Boyd (FL-2), Suzanne M. Kosmas (FL-24), Baron P. Hill (IN-9), Earl Pomeroy (ND-AL), Charlie Wilson (OH-6), John Boccieri (OH-16), Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-3), Christopher Carney (PA-10), John M. Spratt, Jr. (SC-5), Tom Perriello (VA-5), Alan B. Mollohan (WV-1), and Nick J. Rahall II (WV-3).
We’ll aim for these races and many others. This is just the first salvo in a fight to elect people across the nation who will bring common sense to Washington. Please go to sarahpac.com and join me in the fight.
