Arizona Congresswoman Shot in the Head at Public Event

Most of the Posters in this thread should seriously think about this:

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye, when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Why can't some of you folks just wait until after the bodies have cooled off before using a tragedy to promote your personal political viewpoint? Six people are dead, a nine-year old girl was murdered in cold blood, and the first thing to pop into your heads are "FU Sarah Palin!" or "hurrr... I wonder how the sociobommucrats the gonna spin this one!"

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick.

Read an interesting commentary today on this issue.

When we had the Fort Hood shooting, people went out of their way, and IMO rightly so, to point out that this was a single nut job who happened to be Muslim. It was not a Muslim thing, it was a nut job thing.

Well if that attitude was correct for that case, then why is the AZ shooting any different. As far as we know so far (and we do NOT know all the facts) this was a single nut job who happened to shoot a congresswomen who was the target of some political rhetoric.

We still have no proof this is anything but a nut job.

Until some facts and not just coincidence comes to light, it must remain just another nutter committing a terrible crime.

Emotionally, some may want to make connections or not make connections. Well that's human nature. But logically, nothing has been demonstrated yet.

One should never confuse emotional feelings with logical thought.

I am waiting for all the facts to be discovered before opining.

Fox just mentioned the Ft. Hood shooting and how Obama and many of the same Congressmen stated to slow down, don't jump to conclusions because he was muslim....A muslim attacking a military base and we shouldn't expect he did it because he was muslim so calm down....he may just be a nut.

It is becoming sickening how the left is pushing it for political gain. What a discredit to Gabby. This nut has been chasing Gabby for 3 years now.

Where you wrong is thinking it's just one side or another is pushing this for political gain. Anyone that does it, and it's both sides, is a disgusting human being.

The one time you'll probably ever see me agree with Gold coin Beck is when he says: "Turning these horrific events into an opportunity for a political attack is a very childish response to a very grown-up problem. This is not about winning a political blame game."

OMG!!! This is breaking news!

Mookie agrees with GB on something

. The Aztecs were right, the world really is coming to an end.

First Mookie admits he's a socialist, now he agrees with GB on something. So the conclusion I came to is: Mookie is in a political intervention 12-step program. So, by step 12, Mookie will have a Reagan shirt that says "Win one for the Gipper!"
