Was sitting in a reclining chair flipping channels and this story was on every news channel.
They came out and stated she died asl well as many others.
Woke up after a 2 hr nap, now they say she's alive but in critical condition.
Talk about careless reporting !

LETS GO BRANDON

If it was a tea partyer, the tea party just sunk.

No one will respect this kind of crap. Palin will need to speak out, unless she is on her back tonight! LMFAO

This is definitely the tea party's fault. Palin has publicly mentioned before about how certain people should be killed. She's a cancer on this country and this is what happens when she's given a figurehead-type voice.

This is why the country is F!@ked up with accusations like this.

The person is a mental case, could not get into the military, was disruptive in college, he asked her a question a few years ago before the tea party was ever formed which he claims the senator could not answer a question that he asked her and you want to identify him with the tea party.

I could be like you and claim that he was a disgruntaled far left liberal, was a followrer of George Soros and did not like this senator because she was a left of center democrat, was not liberal enough.

And you are of Palin because you are out there working while she is counting her millions one dollar at a time.

Have a good day.

I say give the police time to investigate the real motive before making accusations. Early indications is that the guy was nuts and politics may have had something to do with it. We'll see.

Yes, lets not turn this into a political rant - from either side. We have 6 Americans dead and 14 wounded, many in critical condition. This alone is bad enough.

We have a serving member of Congress shot doing the country's and the people's business.

Let the investigation continue and get the facts in without more vitriol from either corner. Early reports are that the shooter may have been off his rocker.

pray for the victims of this attack....


MSNBC, CNN, NY Times and others.....we see your true colors shining through....

guess they forgot that they also labled the Times Square Bomber as an angry, white, tea party-type.... probably upset about healthcare and motivated by Fox and Palin and rightwing radio....

getting old...

was getting ready to leave the gym when this popped on MSNBC. saw the transition from reported dead to critical. the disturbing trends.
1. the misreporting on her death across the board
2. Fox and others reported first the shooter was an illegal
3. Someone at the gym asking me (when they saw me watching it) if the shooter was a Mexican, just because it was Arizona and that seemed logical to them.

The shame of it is, if this was remotely politically motivated (even though the shooter was a lunatic) she is among the bluest bluedogs in the house; strong anti-immigration, former republican, admittedly she was center left, but yes voted for health care. Especially tragic b/c apparently this was a common event for her to get out and meet her constituents and talk to them.

Props to Langivin, who as of now states he won't change his routine, security etc, realizing that this was hopefully an isolated case.

Hope she pulls through with limited brain damage.

What a trajedy.

I agree he was probably insane but his hearing certain things fuels his insanity.

In March, Giddords said "Sarah Palin has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district and when people do that, they've got to realize there are consequences to that action" - How true.

The sheriff said "when you look at unbalanced people, how they resond to the vitroil that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the governement. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And unfor. Arizona has b/c the capital. We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry."

What did Sharon Angle's "2nd Amendment Remedy's" mean? or Alan West's (I prob. got the name wrong) "scare them so that they're afraid to come out of their house"?

It's too bad there isn't an internet standard sarcasm font.

These are funny responses. A common theme on here is that all of our country's ills are due to politicians that aren't on the Right - #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&s, liberal morons, democraps are all commonly accepted phrases. Make similar comments but with a different subject as the guilty party and all hell breaks loose.
