| _________________________________________ [Jan 8,2011 4:28pm - Headbanging Man ""] From NYT: Sylvia Lee, a friend of Ms. Giffords, told CNN that the congresswoman had received numerous threats. ... Ms. Giffords, who represents Arizona’s Eighth District in the southeastern corner of the state, has been an outspoken critic of Arizona’s tough immigration law, which is focused on identifying, prosecuting and deporting illegal immigrants. Last March, after the final approval of the Democrats’ health care law, which Ms. Giffords supported, the windows of her office in Tucson were broken or shot out in an act of vandalism. Similar acts were reported by other members of Congress, and several arrests were made, including that of a man who had threatened to kill Senator Patty Murray, Democrat of Washington. And in August 2009, when there were demonstrations against the health care measure across the nation, a protester who showed up to meet Ms. Giffords at a supermarket event similar to Saturday’s was removed by the police when the pistol he had holstered under his armpit fell and bounced on the floor. During the fall campaign, Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice-presidential candidate, posted a controversial map on her Facebook page depicting spots where Democrats were running for re-election; those Democrats were noted by crosshairs symbols like those seen through the scope of a gun. Ms. Giffords was among those on Ms. Palin’s map. |

Wait, you mean a gunman opens fire at a public political event and it could possibly be linked to terrorism? Never would have expected that! |

Also, who didn't see this coming, we have one of the biggest dips in the economy in over 50 years and reports every day about how the income gap is the largest ever in U.S. history. I expect more violence of this type will surface in the next few years ITT: Glenn beck hosts a 1hr special to remember the gun man as a hero and the innocent bystanders as martyrs of freedom. |

| ________________________________________ [Jan 9,2011 8:42am - TheRidersofDoom ""] Republican pundits are already trying to say the gunman was a liberal. AOL reports he enjoyed reading, bemoaned the low literacy rate of his district, was someone who had his own opinions and didn't care what others thought of them, and enjoyed smoking weed. In before patriot act lists reading and pot smoking as possible signs of terrorist behavior |
| ________________________________________ [Jan 9,2011 8:50am - TheRidersofDoom ""] I really feel like the MSM is trying to make Americans fear anarchists/libertarians/independents with this tragedy... From faux news "The majority of citizens in the united states of America have never read the united states of America's constitution. You don't have to accept the federalist laws," the video's titles say. "In conclusion, reading the second United States constitution, I can't trust the current government because of the ratifications: the government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar. No! I won't pay debt with a currency that's not backed by gold and silver! No! I won't trust in god!" Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/01/08/shoot...parent-youtube-video/#ixzz1AXuEtCOY |
