Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in March Interview With MSNBC re Palins Targeting
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...

Flashback: Rep. Giffords Said of Sarah Palins Crosshairs Ad Theres Consequences to That Action
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 . In the clip, Giffords talks about threats and Vandalism of her office, and specifically mentions Sarah Palin ’s “crosshairs” ad. This clip is eerily...

Giffords had been target of violent threats (The Lookout)
It is not yet known whether or not the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, and as many as a dozen other people at a public event in Tucson, was an act of political violence. The AP has reported that the gunman has been identified as Jared Loughner. There's still uncertainty about Loughner's motives and politics. But a YouTube video posted under the name Jared Lee Loughner of Tucson proposes creating a "new currency," and rails against non-English speakers "in District 8" ...

Daily Kos Targeted Gabrielle Giffords in June 2008
Heated Rhetoric? Reckless political language? And calls to "repudiate" incitements to violence? Of course, it's almost always Conservatives and tea partiers who get the blame. And within minutes of the news from Tuscon yesterday The Progressive blogosphere and left-wing media erupted with allegations that Sarah Palin's "Hit List" was responsible for the shooting of Giffords and the lives of 6 others. And right now we have Politico desperately attempting to portray shooter Jared Loughner as a r...

It was probably not the best idea to run towards the gunshots, but people needed help Daniel Hernandez, intern to Congresswoman
After reading this story, I honestly needed a moment because the emotions of everything that has happened really hit me.  I don’t know anyone involved in this tragedy personally and I had never met, or even heard of, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords before Saturday.  She just wasn’t on my radar, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who will never forget her and will follow her career with great interest for the rest of my life. Another person I plan on following in...

In the moment it may look bad
It's likely the shooter's reasoning won't ever fit into a tidy narrative of direct cause and effect. But his ramblings make clear he was concerned about a tyrannical government and the word tyranny drops easily from the lips of far too many of our politicians and high profile media figures, knowing full well it's just hyperbole designed to advance personal goals. And while I am reluctant to point fingers, it's clear that the blood is on the media's hands for failing to call out false accusati...
