Gabrielle Giffords: As details emerge about the Arizona shooting that claimed the life of Federal Judge John Roll, and left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Az) fighting for her life, echoes of violent political imagery have come under eery scrutiny, no more so than in this March interview between Giffords and MSNBC’s Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie .

Liberal media promoting big lie against Tea Party, Palin in AZ shooting
There is an old saying - tell a lie often enough and eventually it becomes the truth. The "big lie" technique, originally named by Adolf Hitler in his book Mein Kampf was instrumental in what eventually became known as the "Final Solution" - the State-sanctioned Murder of millions of Jews. The same technique is apparently at work in many of today's newsrooms, as shown by the baseless attacks against Sarah Palin and Conservatives in general. Consider: The man under arrest for the shoot...
Giffords Shooter Had Previous Problems
The documents, obtained by The Daily Caller and can be seen here, show his problems began in October 2008, where he was listed as a “criminal” for an unspecified “local charge.” That action, described by AZ Central as a “minor drug offense,” was dismissed by the local city attorney. Loughner also had a complaint for a “UNIFORM CITATN,” shorthand for a universal citation, filed against him. “But all of that changed last year,” reports AZ...
The perversity of those who hate
In my other life I am a motorcyclist and have written for Examiner about riding motorcycles for nearly three years now. As such, the shooting yesterday of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords hit me on both levels. The latest report are that the alleged shooter is connected with a radical Hate Group--that's the Common Ground Examiner hook--and Gabby Giffords is a motorcyclist. She is the chair of the House Motorcycle Safety Caucus. Obviously, that's the Motorcycle Examiner hook. I know in the grand s...

Gabrielle Giffords was shot because she is Jewish?
From Carl:
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Az) wasn't shot because she was pro or anti-immigration. She wasn't shot because she voted against Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House. She wasn't shot because Sarah Palin targeted her seat in last fall's Elections. And she wasn't shot because she voted for ObamaCare.
Gabrielle Giffords was shot because of a much more baseless hatred. Gabrielle Giffords was shot because she is a Jew!
TUCSON, Ariz. —
Doctors treating wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords provided an optimistic update Sunday about her chances for survival, saying they are "very, very encouraged" by her ability to respond to simple commands along with their success in controlling her bleeding.
The FBI said Law Enforcement could bring charges against the gunman as early as Sunday, and House Speaker John Boehner said normal House business this week has been postponed in the aftermath of the shooting.

Howard Kurtz's Moronic Equivalence
Greasy-wigged Republican Howard Kurtz has finally found a Victim in yesterday's massacre in Arizona. It's Sarah Palin.
I hate to say this [sic], but the blame game is already under way.
It began within hours of Saturday's horrifying shooting of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and nearly 20 others, even before the gunman was identified.

First, toldja so: Newsmax declares “Shooter Linked to Left Wing Politics.” Yes, by Newsmax. Apparently it was reported the young man accused of shooting owns copies of The Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf, which of course (in the minds of righties, who cannot figure out why Hitler was a right-wing psychopath, not a left-wing one) proves he’s a leftie.
Anyway, the more I hear about the shooter, the more it appears he was deeply disturbed, possibly psychotic. I am not qualif...
A spokeswoman for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is defending the much maligned map of Democratic House districts that appeared on Palin's Facebook page.
It included what looks like the crosshairs of a gun over the district of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and another 19 Democratic members who voted in favor of healthcare.
Liberal Bloggers and commentators attacked the map Saturday, with several suggesting that the visual, along with Palin's Rhetoric, played a part in Saturday's mass s...

Democratic congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, was fighting for her life on Sunday following a shooting rampage that left at least six people, including a nine-year-old girl and a Federal Judge dead.
Ms Giffords, a 40-year-old member of the House of Representatives who first took office in 2007, was shot in the head at close range while attending a public event called “Congress on your Corner”, at a Supermarket in Tucson, Arizona, on Saturday.

We've been here before. An unthinkable, terrible tragedy occurs: the Oklahoma City bombing, the World Trade Center attacks, and on Saturday, a murderous rampage aimed at Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz. - and rounds of recrimination follow. Something is wrong. Political discourse is raging out of control. We have got to tone it down.
"It should be a moment. It's a moment for both parties in Congress to come together," the often combative Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., a friend of the g...
Flags at half mast in Washington after the shootings (Photo: EPA)
Sarah Palin is not remotely responsible for the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords and the Murder of six others. Those implying, with little evidence, a link between the violent Rhetoric of Ms Palin and other Tea Partiers and the murderer are disgracing themselves. Trying to make political capital out of this tragedy is indefensible.
But while that much is true, the mere fact that so many people have suggested a link does say someth...

“The shooter’s motivation is still unknown,” Katie Couric announced as she anchored Saturday’s CBS Evening News, but that didn’t deter CBS, nor CNN, NBC and ABC on Saturday night and into Sunday morning from forwarding attempts to blame Sarah Palin and, by implication, the Tea Party, for the Tucson shooting. “Giffords was one of 20 Democrats whose districts were lit up in cross hairs on a Sarah Palin campaign Web site last spring,” CBS’s Nancy Cord...

Not too many years ago, a horrific crime like the one perpetrated by Jared Loughner would have been the occasion for liberals to call for Gun Control Legislation. This time they are aiming higher, trying to delegitimize, with at least some sectors of the electorate, opposition to their policy preferences. The Democrats are taking a flyer on this because they think it worked for them in the case of the Oklahoma City bombing. Is there any chance, this time, that they can...
Tonight is the two hour finale of Sarah Palin’s Alaska! Since the third episode of this miniseries, FrumForum had dutifully watched cataloged the “adventures” of Palin’s family as they travel around Alaska to hunt caribou, gut fish, pan for gold, and race around in neon pink stockers. We have been impressed by those rare moments when Palin’s family members admit that they’ve never done any of this before. We have also enjoyed the chance to see Palin’s ...

Unbelievable: Democrat Group Using Gifford’s Shooting For Fundraiser!
An extreme, left-wing Democrat group calling itself 21st Century Democrats has had the gall to send out an email blast using as a Fundraising tool Saturday’s criminal shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords in Arizona. Judge John Roll and four others were killed in the incident, one of them a 9-year-old girl, but these Democrats are ignorant enough to be using this incident to try and s
This is from months ago. Please note Chuck Todd being a smartass in dismissing Rep. Giffords’ concerns about the ‘ atmosphere’ that was being created, as well as the eery comments by Rep. Gifford.

Republicans and Democrats are abandoning Partisanship -- for now. Saturday's massacre by a gunman in Tucson, Ariz., that left six dead and wounded 14 others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords , D-Ariz., means that House members will spend the coming week making floor tributes to Giffords and discussing, in the most respectful way, how to better ensure that they and their families and staffs are safe inside the Capitol and also in their home districts. The Senat...
Clearly a very courageous woman talking with MSNBC so calmly after her office was vandalized after her Health Care reform vote. And note Chuck Todd’s idiotic “defense” that campaign Rhetoric has borrowed from war Rhetoric over the years. Giffords brushes him off, noting it’s much worse now than it ever has been. Care to walk that defense back now, Mr. Todd? 3 Responses to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in March Interview With MSNBC re Palin’s Targeting Wow, it’s eery...
WASHINGTON (CNN) - House Democrats and Republicans participated in a rare Bipartisan Conference Call Sunday to discuss the condition of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords as well as security concerns for members of Congress. Republican and Democratic leaders, the chief of the United States Capitol Police, a doctor from the Office of the Attending Physician of Congress, and the Chief of Staff to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords briefed about 800 lawmakers, their spouses and top aides. "I've been in Congress 22 year...
Sarah Palin political action committee, SarahPAC, appears to be taking Palin's phrase "Don't retreat, reaload!" to a whole new level. In a recent interview on the Tammy Bruce Talk Radio show SarahPAC staff member Rebecca Mansour calls it "obscene" and "appalling" to make any connection between Palin and the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords yesterday. Mansour denies that Giffords' district was ever targeted or put in crosshairs by SarahPAC in the map produced by their orga...
Blood was still drying at the scene of the crime in Arizona where US Rep Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head and several other were killed. What's the Detroit Free Press to do? Link Sarah Palin to the shooting of course. Little did they know at 5:35pm when the story posted that the Man who shot AZ Congresswoman in the head is a left-wing lunatic. His favorite book? The Communist manifesto. This is what the front page of th efreep looked like yesterday evening:
