Internet : In the minutes following the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and members of her staff, the website operated by Sarah Palin that illustrated Gifford's 8th district with gun crosshairs drawn on a map was scrubbed from the Internet.

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.

San Francisco Conservative Scolds Roger Simon for Connecting Sarah Palin to Giffords Shooting
A conservative writer likely unknown to most NewsBusters readers scolded Politico's Roger Simon Sunday for trying to connect Sarah Palin to yesterday's shootings in Tucson, Arizona. DEBRA SAUNDERS, San Francisco Chronicle: But I also -- as an opinion person, I could just see myself getting sucked into this thing where a bunch of people -- and there were some people. There were people in the media with no impulse control. People like Keith Olbermann and Paul Krugman, who just, boom, start...
Paul Krugman Blames Giffords Shooting on Palin, Limbaugh and Beck
While Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) fights for her life in a Tucson, Arizona, Hospital, liberal media members continue to point fingers of blame for Saturday's tragic shooting spree at prominent Conservatives such as Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck. We don’t have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was. She’s been the target of violence before. And for those wondering why a Blue Dog Democrat, the kind Republicans might be able to wo...
Fair and Balanced Fox News abruptly cuts away from Tucson vigil after mourner mentions Sarah Palin
The Fox News Channel abruptly cut to commercial after a mourner attending a Tuscon, Arizona vigil for those killed in Saturday's shootings mentioned Fox employee Sarah Palin as one of the culprits behind a rising tide of violent Rhetoric in US politics and media.
As they awaited the beginning of a Pima County Sheriff's Department Press Conference, Fox News host Shep Smith cued a live video from the vigil for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), who sustained a bullet wound to the head and was amon...

Giffords' brain benefits from benign route of bullet
By Peter Henderson
TUCSON, Ariz | Sun Jan 9, 2011 4:36pm EST
TUCSON, Ariz (Reuters) - Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords suffered what her doctors on Sunday called a "devastating wound" to her brain in a point-blank shooting, but the bullet's relatively benign trajectory bodes well for her recovery.
For doctors at the University Medical Center in Tucson, the fact that the bullet did not cross from one hemisphere to the other nor through the center of the brain was crucial to Giffords' brain "pr...

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
Insanity Nation
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...

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...
3 helped subdue man who killed 6 at Arizona store
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Three people helped subdue a gunman accused of attempting to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killing six people at a political event in Arizona. Pima Co. Sheriff Clarence Dupnik says Patricia Maisch (MAYSH) was waiting in line with her husband to get a photo with Giffords. When the shooting started, she ran up to the suspect and grabbed the empty magazine, then grabbed a full magazine as he was loading it into the gun. Two men helped subdue the suspect — ...
Surgeons say Giffords showing positive signs
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.

Sarah Palin's 'gunnery'!
The violent language of “elimination,” “putting in the cross-hairs,” (as with Palin’s poster, above) “taking back,” “taking out,” to which members of that movement so often resort, has created a heated atmosphere that easily seeps into the unconscious of the mentally disturbed. That is Dupnik’s point.

On the Gabrielle Giffords shooting
It's crass and counterproductive to start asking whether any political parties or ideologies are to blame for the tragic and horrific shooting of Dem Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others at an event with constituents yesterday. That's especially true given that the shooter is looking more and more like a deranged loner and early chatter that he might have had an accomplice is turning out to be false.
But it's fair to ask lawmakers and commentators to use this tragedy as a jumping off point for s...
Tucson rampage casts light on toxic political tone
WASHINGTON—Politicians of all stripes are bound to be haunted by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' warning, 10 months before she was shot, to cool the Rhetoric.
It's been a year or more of raw politics, with anger spilling over on both sides and gun-related metaphors coming loosely from the lips of some Candidates and Activists. Giffords, a figurative target of the right, on Saturday became the actual target of a gunman who shot her through the head and killed at least five others. She was critica...

There really aren’t words to adequately describe the senselessness of the killing. ~We now have a name and a face to go with the shooter, who may not have acted alone- we just don’t know at this point.

We’ll be giving live updates and analysis of this tragic event here in Arizona.

Gabrielle Giffords Shooting - Updates
I watched the medical team Press Conference at noon. I have to say, I remain so impressed with the professionalism and determination of the medical trauma teams at the University Medical Center in Tucson, and elsewhere. It is comforting to know that even in a mid-sized city such as Tucson, such trauma teams are available. Of course, the reason such teams exist and are so competent at dealing with gunshot wounds is the legacy of gang and other violence in cities.

Sarah Palin to Left: Quit making things up
The imperative going forward is to show the American People exactly what they are dealing with when it comes to the Left. For whatever reason, they have never seen that before. It’s time to think outside the box about ways to expose the Left for what it is, so they can no longer make things up and get away with it. Be the first to like this post. I think it’s important to continue researching and digging up as much evidence as we can and then post it as quickly as we can. We a...

On the Arizona Shooting
On the Arizona ShootingSunday, January 9th, 2011
I’ll not be blogging it because I made a vow I’m not going to give people attention here just because they want it, and see bashing Sarah Palin as a way of getting the attention. That’s what has been going on for a long time now, and regrettably the shooting has turned into another example of it. Ooh ooh ooh, if I can echo the Jane Fonda Twitter line that Palin caused the shooting, people will pay attention to ME ME ME!

Conservative Website Targeted Congresswoman
Did I say conservative website? I meant Daily Kos.
Interestingly, Daily Kos pulled that posting down. For some reason. Can't imagine why they wouldn't want anyone to see that when they're trying like the Dickens to blame, er, Sarah Palin for killing six people. Because, um, she posted something on the Internet.
Well, if that's the standard they're using, Kos needs a spot in the cell right next to her.
You betcha!
