Not that I'm aware. No feeds have any info on that, just that she was shot, a federal judge was shot, and some other associates of hers were injured in the gunfire. Four are dead.

The press conference is on CNN right now. She just got out of surgery. Doctors are "optimistic" about her recovery.

Or a semi-automatic weapon. There is a difference.

We have nuts in every party or group that has a few radicals. Either way it will be sad that any group this person it tied to politics will try to play it.

So far I've heard about this shooter.

A drug runner working for the Cartel.
A radical tea party member.
Someone peod at healthcare bill..

MSNBC, being who they are can't stop talking about guns, semi autos aren't auto, they talk about them like they're illegal machine guns.

and so on, it covers all spectrums...showing any group will try to score points and lump in the whole group. Anyone that joins in just shows their stupidity.

Shooter name is Jared Laughner and apparently this is his Youtube channel.

Is this the front for a left wing shooter? "We have nuts in every party or group "

Your speculation would defy history where most assasins are left leaning.

Not in this case. Its quite appalling that this senator was on Sarah Palin's target map.




Something is fundamentally broken in the political process if those same politicians start asking for "assassinations" even if only in a metaphorical sense. Sarah Palin is not the only one doing this, others also and look no further than the Wikileaks affair.

Hmm. New currency? Strange metaphor.

It probably wasn't a .22. Dr. Gupta is on the phone with CNN, and she was in fact shot from close range. The bullet was "in and out". Saved her life no doubt.

Funny how he advocated literacy, while having difficulties with it himself. Don't be surprised if, judging by the nature of the videos he posted there, that his defense hinges on his mental faculties.

Yeah. Seems likely given the rambling nature of the videos. What is even more strange is that they are all text, meaning that he had to think about it to a degree that you wouldn't have to if you were just recording your thoughts through audio.

Left wing nut job. hello.
