Democrats now using Giffords shooting for fundraising
Democrats now using Giffords’ shooting for Fundraising No matter how low progressive Liberal Democrats sink, it doesn’t surprise me anymore. It’s not bad enough these same jackwagons are automatically blaming the Tea Party, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin for the shoot of Gabrielle Giffords. Now they are trying to capitalize off the shooting by fundraising! From Big Government: The email blast sent out Sunday morning to its supporters tells members that “we don’t know yet” w

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...

Mainstream media blames Sarah Palin, conservatives for shooting of Rep. Giffords, despite lack of evidence yet refused to talk
Pamela Geller shows here that the would-be assassin in Arizona is actually a Leftist, but when have the facts ever stopped the Leftist/Islamic supremacist smear machine? Mainstream Media operatives are leaping to conclusions about conservative responsibility for the Giffords shooting, showing none of the delicacy and compunction they showed when refusing to label the obvious Jihad massacre at Fort Hood accurately as just that. Here Lachlan Markay skewers their dhimmi Double Standard: "Media Fa...

Remember this? MSNBC and Ted Rall call for violent revolution
Remember this? MSNBC and Ted Rall call for violent revolution It was exactly two months to the day of Gabrielle Giffords’ that Ted Rall appeared on MSNBC with Dylan Ratigan to discuss the need for the Left Wing to start a “violent revolution.” Yet again though, it’s those on the right who are being blamed for the shooting yesterday in Tuscon. Breitbart.tv posted the video to remind us of what Ratigan/Rall said. The media is as usual very forgetful of things like this. A...

3 helped subdue man who killed 6 at Arizona store
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Three people helped subdue a gunman accused of attempting to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killing six people at a political event in Arizona. Pima Co. Sheriff Clarence Dupnik says Patricia Maisch (MAYSH) was waiting in line with her husband to get a photo with Giffords.

Daily Kos Targeted Gabrielle Giffords in June 2008
Heated Rhetoric? Reckless political language? And calls to "repudiate" incitements to violence? Of course, it's almost always Conservatives and tea partiers who get the blame. And within minutes of the news from Tuscon yesterday The Progressive blogosphere and left-wing media erupted with allegations that Sarah Palin's "Hit List" was responsible for the shooting of Giffords and the lives of 6 others. And right now we have Politico desperately attempting to portray shooter Jared Loughner as a r...

Surgeons say Giffords showing positive signs
TUCSON, Ariz. — Doctors treating wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords provided an optimistic update Sunday about her chances for survival, saying they are "very, very encouraged" by her ability to respond to simple commands along with their success in controlling her bleeding. The FBI said Law Enforcement could bring charges against the gunman as early as Sunday, and House Speaker John Boehner said normal House business this week has been postponed in the aftermath of the shooting. Surgeons s...

New Jersey Representatives weigh in on Giffords Shooting
There doesn't seem to be any member of Congress in any given state that hasn't felt the shock and horror following the brutal shooting of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) during a meeting with constituents Saturday at a Tuscon area Shopping Mall. “Oh, my God, this is awful,” said Rep. Albio Sires (D-13th District), a fellow Democrat and member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, who sits next to Giffords during committee hearings and recently traveled with her to Israel. He...

Roger Ailes
Howard Kurtz's Moronic Equivalence Greasy-wigged Republican Howard Kurtz has finally found a Victim in yesterday's massacre in Arizona. It's Sarah Palin. I hate to say this [sic], but the blame game is already under way. It began within hours of Saturday's horrifying shooting of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and nearly 20 others, even before the gunman was identified. Political Target Map as seen on Sarah Palin's website. Inset: Sarah Palin and Gabrielle Giffords (AP Photo) One of t...

Another concern arises amid the crisis in Arizona
Trying to make sense out of words as to what happened in Arizona. With pictures of the shooting in an Arizona suburban Grocery Store Parking Lot fresh on the minds of America's consciousness, a more disheartening moral question has now been raised. Is it better not to always reload, but to retreat for a moment and consider one’s own words? Although, the words just stated reflect Sarah Palins metaphor “don’t retreat, reload", words such as those and other comments from the media...

The Blood of Eden
Pollock's "The Deep" I caught sight of my reflection I caught it in the window I saw the darkness in my heart I saw the signs of my undoing They had been there from the start So many American bodies are sprayed with blood, their own, their lover’s, their mother’s and father’s, their brother’s and sister’s. Oh we are so certain of our innocence, but we are a nation tattooed in crimson, eyes to belly, with Jackson Pollock’s The Deep. We called it a N...

FASCIST PIGS, FANATICAL IDEOLOGUES, AND DELUSIONAL ILLNESS
One of the more interesting emails I received yesterday after the unfolding of the attempted Assassination of Gabrielle Giffords and the Murder of others, including a Federal Judge in Arizona, was the following: "This is what comes of spewing hate, you fascist pig!" I find it interesting primarily because it encapsulates in an enlightening way the leftist mindset which has been described in the last several posts on Dr. Sanity. I have not met or examined the individual who is in custody for thi...

Will the Grown-Ups Please Come Forward?
Yesterday, I had the unfortunate duty of breaking the story of the shooting in Tucson on Race42012 . One of the first things I posted was “This is the kind of thing where politics should be the furthest thing from everyone’s mind.” Unfortunately, that isn’t what happened.  Almost immediately, accusations came up blaming Sarah Palin, the Tea Party and basically all of the political right in this country for what happened.  Leading voices on the left: Paul Krugman, Andrew S

Dem planning bill that would outlaw threatening lawmakers
Rep. Robert Brady (D-Pa.) reportedly plans to introduce Legislation that would make it a federal crime to use language or symbols that could be perceived as threatening or inciting violence against a federal official or member of Congress. Brady told CNN that he wants federal lawmakers and officials to have the same protections against threat currently provided to the president. His call comes one day after Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) was shot, along with 19 other people, at a public eve...

Sarah Palin's 'gunnery'!
The violent language of “elimination,” “putting in the cross-hairs,” (as with Palin’s poster, above) “taking back,” “taking out,” to which members of that movement so often resort, has created a heated atmosphere that easily seeps into the unconscious of the mentally disturbed. That is Dupnik’s point. ...

Some interesting shooting-related links | Michael Tomasky
I just wrote my big take on the shooting for tomorrow's newspaper. I assume it will be posted here this afternoon some time US time. Rebecca Traister wrote a fine piece at Salon on Giffords. Michele Goldberg had an interesting-as-usual take at the Tablet. Ditto Adele Stan at Alternet (she closely chronicles the right, and frankly I don't know how she can stand doing it). Max Blumenthal has a wonderful piece, also in Salon, about the slain judge, who seems a man of great distinction. Max once t...

Christina Taylor Green: The face of innocence
Politico: Christina Taylor Green, the youngest Victim of Saturday's shootings, was born on Sept. 11, 2001 - a date of bloodshed that shaped her tragically brief life, the girl's heartbroken mother said Sunday morning.

Giffords' brain benefits from benign route of bullet
By Peter Henderson TUCSON, Ariz | Sun Jan 9, 2011 4:36pm EST TUCSON, Ariz (Reuters) - Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords suffered what her doctors on Sunday called a "devastating wound" to her brain in a point-blank shooting, but the bullet's relatively benign trajectory bodes well for her recovery. For doctors at the University Medical Center in Tucson, the fact that the bullet did not cross from one hemisphere to the other nor through the center of the brain was crucial to Giffords' brain "pr...
