Are you really sad?  Would you not want to talk about it if he was a Republican with ties to Rush Limbaugh?

Personally I am not sad and the only compelling thing about this story is how the Democrats spun it right from the get go.  Well, I was sad about people dying for about the first 45 seconds and then read about the 3rd story assigning blame to Republicans/Tea Party/Beck and I became fasinated by the liberal mindset and blame gameage.

Yes. I am sad.  I think it is sad that people are more interested in using this for their own political gain.  I don't jump on the right/left blame bandwagon, so you can't play that card with me.  I think it is tragic that the human factor in these stories is lost to the highly controversial political issues just so some fat man in a suit can make a shitload of money by selling toothpaste ads on fox/cnn/msnbc.

Well, if you get over the sadness you can become outraged like me at the people who started assigning the political blame and piss on the people for doing it.  Especially when the people doing were the Victims supporters. 

Look back through this thread.

I am pretty sure a liberal was the one who started talking about blame instead of sadness.

Within minutes after the attempted assassination of Giffords -- indeed, at a point when it was still erroneously believed in many quarters that she was dead, and the identity of her shooter was not publicly known -- some commentators, absent any credible evidence, were already busily laying blame for the atrocity in political terms. Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman blogged at 3:22 p.m. ET Saturday: "We don't have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was."

It is interesting the way Foxnews is having to and attempting to defend itself (which I think is just making it look less impartial lol)

This is apparently a source of the left bias. Well duh, a congresswoman was shot - of course odds are it was political.

Straw grabbing at it's finest.

Because the left instantly was trying to blame the tea party movement, Palin, Beck etc for this shooting sparking the debate over gun rights. My argument is, if more people ( law abiding citizens) were there, ARMED, this might have turned out with a lot less people hurt or killed.

Agreed, I just didn't like the way you were saying it ealier though.

Sorry, but the fact is the left does champion taking away law abiding citizens guns, while the right champions the constitution on the matter.

I agree with you and you are right, but the whole "22 people wouldn't have been shot except it was a democratic event" "they run and pray"...... is a more than a bit over the top to me considering the amazing shit people did there and you and I have no way to see exactly what happened or know who all was there.

Maybe a gun toter was there supporting the one pro-gun democrat in the world and he shit himself and passed out without ever firing a shot.

We just don't know.

Didn't say they wouldn't have been shot. I said it might have turned out differently, and truth be told, you sure as hell don't see shit like this at an NRA rally.

the guy was a loon, just like the one that shot up the military base in Washington.  Yes, people packing guns at the event could have capped his ass.  She supported guns, many Dems carry guns, one issue does not make you a republican.

Fort Hood Washington????

I was talking about the shooter in washington state on the air base where an MP rode his bike across the base, ran into the building, ran through the halls, and double tapped the killer at like 40 yards with his pistol.*
