Close Friend of Giffords- State Rep. Linda Lopez Blames Tea Party For Shooting

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...

NOW Blames Shooting on 'Extreme' Conservatives Opposing 'Progressive Solutions'
Count National Organization for Women president Terry O'Neill as one leftist who will quickly and easily blame the horrific shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others on Saturday on GOP Members of Congress, and still unproven Tea Party Racial Slurs yelled at Rep. John Lewis and the withdrawn claims of Rep. Emanuel Cleaver that he was spat upon purposely. O'Neill's press statement began by blaming Sarah Palin: NOW condemns the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) that stole si...

Unbelievable: Democrat Group Using Giffords 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 squeeze donations from its supporters. Some might think the action of 21st Century Democrats is itse...

Congressional leaders urge unity in call to members on Gabrielle Giffords shooting
Some 800 Republican and Democratic Congress members and spouses took part in an extraordinary Conference Call Sunday in which Party Leaders pleaded for everyone to come together in the wake of the shooting in Tucson that targeted Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) "At a time when an individual has shown us humanity at its worst, we must rise to the occasion for our nation and show Congress at its best," new Speaker John Boehner (R-Oh.) told the group during a call that lasted more than an hour, ...

Jane Fonda Blames Giffords Shooting on Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and the Tea Party
Jane Fonda has blamed Saturday's tragic Shooting Spree in Tucson, Arizona, on former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, conservative Talk Show host Glenn Beck, and the Tea Party movement. Actually, Giffords is not a Progressive. Wikipedia lists her as part of the Blue Dog Coalition. It would be nice if Fonda knew how to spell Beck's first name, but since she's likely never seen his show or read anything he's written, it's not surprising. Nice job, Jane. You're quite a rocket sc...

Breeding Men Who Riot
James Delingpole of the London Telegraph does not mince words: “The Arizona shootings were like Kwanzaa come early for America’s liberal fascists:” How sick do you have to be to start making political capital out of the killing of six people including a nine-year old girl, long before anyone has the remotest clue what the murderer’s motives were, or his political affiliations, or his state of mind? Not sick at all, to judge by the response of so many US Tweeters in the imme...

An end to intolerance or just the beginning? - The Gabrielle Giffords aftermath
WASHINGTON — Within minutes of the first reports Saturday that Representative Gabrielle Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, and a score of people with her had been shot in Tucson, pages began disappearing from the Web. One was Sarah Palin’s infamous “cross hairs” map from last year, which showed a series of contested Congressional Districts, including Ms. Giffords’s, with gun targets trained on them. Another was from Daily Kos, the liberal blog, where one of the Congress...

Palin Staffer: Giffords Attack Nothing to Do With Ex-Governor
Calling it "obscene" and "appauling" political hotsheetA Staffer for Sarah Palin is defending the conservative politician against attacks blaming Palin and the Tea Party movement for the horrifying Arizona shooting yesterday that left six people dead and Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition. "We have nothing whatsoever to do with this," Palin aide Rebecca Mansour said in an interview with radio host Tammy Bruce, a Palin supporter. There's no evidence 22-year-old acc...

Video: Democrat Linda Lopez accuses Tea Party of stirring up Giffords' shooter
 Video: Democrat Linda Lopez accuses Tea Party of stirring up people like Giffords shooter. Hardly a few hours went by after the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords yesterday when her fellow Democrats began to pounce on sketchy details for what they thought was political gain. Almost instantly after the shooting, Democrats (aided and abetted by the liberal media) began to politicize the crime by inventing the slanderous narrative that Tea Party members (read: patriots) were somehow to blame for ...

Democrats to Obama pin the Gabrielle Giffords shooting on the Tea Party
Democrats to Obama - pin the Gabrielle Giffords shooting on the Tea Party Haven’t they been doing this already? Their enablers in the media certainly have.  Politico, while actually reported on the “unnamed Democrat” who suggested this, is also adding their own Left Wing bias to the issue. Some Republicans have scrambled to portray alleged shooter Jared Lee Loughner as an unbalanced loner, and pointed to a High School classmate’s account that, four years ago, he had ...

Gabrielle Giffords: Tea Party Target
No motives have emerged from today’s senseless shooting in Tucson, but Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has a long history of being targeted by the Tea Party—sometimes in violent terms....

Wayne Root: The Gabrielle Giffords Tragedy: How Liberal Media Distorted the Message and Lynched the Tea Party
Emailed by Wayne Root to [email protected]: What Liberal Media- Including Fox News- Didn’t Tell You. Is it the Tea Party to Blame, or the Media and Hollywood? By Wayne Allyn Root As Americans and simply decent human beings, all of us should be shocked and saddened by Saturday’s tragedy in Tucson, Arizona. Nineteen shot. Six are dead — including a Federal Judge and an innocent nine-year-old girl. And a talented United States Congresswoman lies in a coma after being shot in the he...

Palin Staffer Defends Crosshairs Map
The Alaska Dispatch reports: The news was barely out today when social networks were erupting, blaming Sarah Palin and the Tea Party for inciting the 22-year-old alleged gunman who shot U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a Democrat from Arizona, and 16 others in a Grocery Store in Tucson, Ariz. Giffords was one of those 20 moderate Republicans and Democrats that were on Palin’s now infamous “target list” that Palin compiled early last year. The graphic that went with the list fe...

AZ Dem Blames "Afghan Vet" for Shooting
This vitriol has GOT to stop, in both directions. But blaming Veterans just because it involved a gun is over the top. Especially for someone who should know better than to spread rumors. The topper statement is from State Congressional Representative Linda Lopez, who is about as far-Left as you can get. Not that that's a particular issue, but, given her next statement, we've got a HUGE problem ... You must login to comment. The Fox Nation is for those opposed to intolerance, excessive governmen...

Democrats Plotted to Blame Giffords Shooting on Tea Party
Sorry, boys! He is most likely a lefty. One Veteran Democratic operative, who blames overheated Rhetoric for the shooting, said President Barack Obama should carefully but forcefully do what his predecessor did. “They need to deftly pin this on the tea partiers,” said the Democrat. “Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma City bombing on the Militia and anti-government people.” This Democrat said that the time had come to insist that Republicans stand...

Another "Accidental" Shooting
In this case the shooter happened to be an Iraq War Veteran, which was part of the reason he was out on bail awaiting sentencing for an extremely vicious assault on a Homeless man. That was a mistake. A former soldier convicted of beating up a Homeless man has been arrested on reckless homicide and weapons charges in a woman's fatal shooting in suburban Cincinnati. Riley Feller, 25, was arrested late Thursday night in Norwood. Feller was waving a 9mm Handgun around when ...

2 dead, 4 wounded in shooting near Baltimore nightclub
Baltimore (AP) — A fight at a Baltimore Nightclub spilled onto the street early Sunday and led to an eruption of gunfire that killed a Police Officer and another man and left four people hurt, police said. One of those wounded also was a police officer, who was shot in the leg, said police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. Investigators were trying to determine if officers may have fired on a fellow officer whose badge and other identifying markings came off his uniform during the scuffle, he ...

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...

Healthcare bill to get second look
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- As Republicans in the House prepare to vote to Repeal of the Healthcare Bill, Democrats say they will fight to win Public Opinion to their side on the measure. After losing their majority in the House and seeing it reduced in the Senate, Democrats say they have little to lose by fighting to preserve a Controversial law likely to feature large in President Barack Obama's bid for re-election in 2012, The Washington Post reported. "The Republicans are making a big mistak...

Romney on trip to Afghanistan, Middle East
Past and likely future Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney arrived Sunday in Afghanistan on a weeklong trip to the frontlines of the U.S. war zone and to the Middle East. Senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom said the former Massachusetts Governor would meet with President Hamid Karzai while in Afghanistan. He also met Sunday with Gen. David Petraeus, who is leading the U.S. War Effort in the country. In addition, Romney will "train Afghans and share with local leaders his views on issues of ...

Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey's moral blight
Image via Wikipedia Niles Gardiner: In times of war you will invariably find public figures who are more interested in trashing their country and undermining the War Effort than supporting their own Troops, who are laying down their lives on the battlefield. In so doing, they willingly run the risk of being used as Propaganda fodder by the enemy, and serving as proverbial “useful idiots”, as Lenin would have described them. That is exactly what ten-term California Congresswoman Lyn...

New US Envoy Meets Afghan President
(NewsCore) - The man who replaced the late Richard Holbrooke as Washington's acting special Afghanistan and Pakistan Envoy met President Hamid Karzai Sunday in their first meeting since he took the post, Afghan officials said. Frank Ruggiero assured the US-backed Afghan leader of Washington's support for his plans to make peace with "those Taliban who are not linked to Terrorist groups," Karzai's office said in a statement. Karzai is trying to broker a peaceful end to the near decade-long war, a...
