U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, staff, shot at event in Tuscon, Ariz.

The gunman is nucking futs, and that's my professional diagnosis.

What a tragedy. Prayers and thoughts to the member of Congress, the other victims, and their families. What a pointless waste.

[chance]

I just can't belive this guy lived, I was born and raised in Sierra Vista and I remember even as a kid darn near everyone had a gun. This SOB should have been shot in the face at the first sign of his hostile intent.


Prays out for all involved.

The Washington Post is already spinning this incident by suggesting it was political violence. A scary precedence since the guy was clearly a freakin' psycho. Here is the Post article.

I believe the best defense again this is armed populace but I'm sure "they" will champion gun control, which works so well in DC or Baltimore. Does this sort of thing occur in Israel?

Blackfive is asking for an apology from Congesswoman Lopez for her remarks on Fox News.

The Daily Kos scrubbed this yesterday:

And at this moment Fox News is pending a lot of time on 9mm Semi Auto Pistol with Hi-Cap Mag and the Gun Store the purchase was made.

ABC has repeatedly voiced the "white male Tea Party" and "possibly politically motivated" theme this morning. This ain't good.

(paraphrasing) Is this Columbine, Virginia Tech, etc or is it Oklahoma City? We just don't know yet.

Really?

A 9 year old girl is dead, can we hang up the political torches for one day and just be outraged at the shooter?

Oh, the liberals won't be outraged, they'll be overjoyed.
They've been waiting on a white male dastard to do a mass killing ever since Muhammad and Malvo.

What disappointment it is to see this dribble. I have a question for the team: Who is the treat to America?

That was part of my point, these poor souls bodies had barely touched the ground and the fecal matter was already being stirred, and the outrage misdirected.....which is an outrage unto itself.

First things first

...my heart felt condolences to the families of those people who have had their lives tragically altered by the uninvited intrusion of a violent criminal who goes by the name of JARED LAUGHNER. My prayers are with everyone involved.
Also, my sympathy goes out to laughners parents. It must be emotionally draining and incredibly hard to bear that your child is capable of such inhumanity.



It is my opinion that a quick humane death is not always an appropriate punishment for folks like this. Words do not illustrate feelings towards the INDIVIDUALS that perpetrate acts such as this one.
...like the old westerns used to say: "killin's too good for you boy"

I am equally as fed up with those in the media that somehow forget who committed this crime. The shots were fired by a 22 year old adult, not by "vitriolic" talk show hosts or those submersed in radical tea party politics.

Where is the blind media outrage at this infectious human waste that committed this act? Why are pundits busy wondering how they can connect this to Columbine, Virginia Tech, Ft Hood and Oklahoma City in the name of hate-politics or tea party movements or even conservative talk show hosts?

Tragic is not a strong enough word. It is shameful how quick the talking heads trip over their own shoelaces trying to push ideological political agendas using tragedy as fodder.
The talkingheads on TV today reminds me of Rahm Emanuals comment "You never let a serious crisis go to waste."....

We wouldn't want to cloud the story with facts now would we.

scum... plain and simple




just my opinion, I could be wrong

While some readers will think this thread has become a political shit stick stirring venue, may I remind everyone, that this webiste is for just that purpose. So, if you have an opinion, please post your thoughts after careful reflection. Remember also that the reading audience if fairly capable of reasonably reply.

FYI: An incident occured, a bad day for some, a good day for others. Trust me when I say, many in that crowd are at Mass today, because they feel lucky it did not happen to them.

No amount of legislation, talking heads forn the MSM, or political groups will prevent this from happening again. Incidents of this nature have been typically left to other regions of the world and for other reasons.

Welcome to our world, this will happen again and in a neighborhood near you.

So, (como), in answering you "team room" question, I will say this. I have a hot cup of coffee in my right hand, my shoulder leaning again the door, while my left hand is firming in my front pocket, I'm smiling at each of my team members and we are carefully contemplating our actions on the objective.

I know very clearly who the enemies of America are, do you?

I doubt any of them would be overjoyed at the deaths and injuries.

Media wise, this is a perfect storm for moderate to left leaning media outlets. They've been trying to assert for years now that Palin's crowd is full of psychologically unstable people. They've been saying the same about the tea party.

This is the first major incident of deadly violence perpetrated by someone that they can claim is loyal to both camps. "See, how could Palin put cross hairs over her district knowing that one of her crazy followers is going to interpret that as a fatwa."

Virginia Tech/Columbine had a similar mass casualty MO. Americans that expect the news folks to put 2+2 together for them will believe their spin. The same is true for the people that "only trust fox news."

It's not in the media's nature to wait for all the facts. It is in their nature to point the finger as fast as possible to pump ratings. As long as Rush sells he'll have a pulpit. Same with Maddow, O'Reilly, Olbermann, and the rest.

It used to bother me, but now I'm comfortably numb.

Some may think that the ship has begun to sink. I say nay, I will be there with my pail. And so will you.

Agreed.


I assume you watch Fox news and listen to Limbaugh? Because I don't talk shit about Huffpo without clicking on it often enough to see what kind of maniacal BS they're currently spreading around.
