Prayers for the Congresswoman and the others
U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot in the head outside a grocery store in Tucson while holding a public event, Arizona Public Media reported Saturday.
The 40-year-old Democrat, who was re-elected to her third term in November, was hosting a “Congress on Your Corner” event at a Safeway in northwest Tucson when a gunman ran up and started shooting, according to Peter Michaels, news director of Arizona Public Media.
At least nine other people, including members of her staff, were hurt. Giffords was transported to University Medical Center in Tucson. Her condition was not immediately known.
The shooter was tackled by another attendee, and taken in to custody.
And, yeah, some of the typical insanity and blamestorming has started at the DU.
More: there are conflicting reports as to whether she has been killed. Let’s pray for the best.
And, yeah, the Left-O-Sphere is going insane. Witness some of the comments at Alan Colmes’ site. Joe. My. God. is typically unhinged, as are his readers. Yeah, language warning. Wonkette tells Arizona to get the f*** out of the Union. Shakesville is going with the lefty talking point that this is Sarah Palin’s fault. John Cole is begging his readers to stop with their insanity on the comments. Hey, John, you know you can delete the comments and close them down, right? The flood gates of moonbattery are open at Crooks and Liars. That’s as much stench as I can take.
Funny how so many liberals are looking to blame, rather then being concerned with the plight of Giffords and the others who were shot.
More: Fox News is reporting she is in critical condition.
And right on time, Andrew Sullivan engages in Palin Derangement Syndrome. And more from Sullivan, who is finding out more about the shooter, who, and I agree with Sullivan, is a disturbed individual, and, really, doesn’t seem to share the viewpoints of the the right or the left, or even the far endpoints of each, but a hodge podge of crazy.
Hot Air has a whole bunch of this nutter’s Youtube videos
The Washington Post is reporting that the surgeon is “optimistic” that she will recover.
Michelle Malkin, regarding the Sarah Palin crosshairs meme: “And then there’s this one from the left-wing Daily Kos, which “puts a bullseye†on moderate Democrats including…Gabrielle Giffords. So enough already.”
