Posted on January 8, 2011 at 4:45pmViolence is always unacceptable on the battlefield of ideas and we should pray for the victims and their families.
On the other hand we having studied the history of the freedom haters for a lifetime and we should also pray and watch for understanding the motives and mind of the shooter. We are already hearing other Democrats talk about the “vitriol from the Tea Party” in connection with these horrible events which makes me wonder if these people have any decency at all.
A greater tragedy would be loss of freedoms orchestrated by those who have no regard for the consent of the governed.

Posted on January 8, 2011 at 5:08pmIn that case after watching his video‘s there’ a college in AZ(?) that needs to be closed if all his college professors didn’t catch this nuts rantings.. This kid wasn’t hearing voices he had a whole party in his head.. but not ONE LIBERAL PROFESSOR caught it.. MAYBE they should do less encouraging of off the wall comments in school and become mainstream so when they have someone like this in their class they realize he has a problem and not encourage them to keep ranting..

Posted on January 8, 2011 at 4:36pmFrom what I’m seeing on Fox, this attack wasn’t political. It was simply a nutcase who should have shot himself first.
So much for the Lefty stuff that this came from the TEAs, and future reports the next day or so will bear that out.
I think what makes me mad most is Lefties looking first to cast blame somewhere, rather than praying for Rep. Gifford’s healing, and for everyone else who is suffering.
This event is a horror. But the Lefties using this to some kind of imagined ‘benefit’ is a midnight horror.
Think of vampires and ghouls…
Then you’ll see the Left.

Report Post »reckless
Posted on January 8, 2011 at 4:35pmSince a gun was used to commit this horrible crime, the left is naturally going to automatically claim that a right-wingnut is responsible for this horrible event. However on the flip side of any speculation would be the arguement that the individual responsible is obviously mentally deranged which would tend to indicate a hate filled liberal.
Report Post »Personally I would chose to wait for the facts to be revealed. Whoever the individual is, they are obviously mentally ill. But my money at this time would be on a leftist of some flavor.

Posted on January 8, 2011 at 4:12pmOur hearts and prayers go out to all friends and family of all who were shot and who were killed this morning. A Senator on Fox News was already talking about how her opponent during the election was a TEA Party candidate and talked how the TEA Party was talking about her during the election. She was basically blaming them. It is now known it was a 22 year old white kid. It bothers me that they are already blaming the TEA Party, looks like this may be the “event” “they” have been looking for.

Posted on January 8, 2011 at 4:08pmRep. Giffords Dad, when asked if she had any enemies, responded by saying only the “TeaParty”. Really…I’m sorry this happened and our prayers will be with each family. There are always those on the fringe willing to kill, steal, lie and cheat their fellow citizens for personal gain. But this also sounds alot like bottom up pressure building.

Posted on January 8, 2011 at 4:15pmNo one is calling for the killing of Beck, Palin, Limbaugh, on the sites you mentioned, at least not in any official capacity. Anyone who is calling for as much is acting in the capacity of a reactionary, and needs to take a moment. We have no idea yet who shot Congresswoman Gifford or why she was shot, and any speculation on such is baseless at this point and will just devolve into political scapegoating.
We can have a rational discussion once we have more facts. Let’s not act like children.

Understand one thing here and now, the comments you constantly rant and rave with indicate you show a pathological hatered of all things Beck-associated; and have a definite signs of OCD with schizophrenic and sociopathic associations.
Your comments to me are getting more out of control, and sometime may cross the line into you making actual threats; go seek medical help right now, they should have a nice padded room for you along with a fine coat that ties up in the back.

As much as I hate to say this, many of those who use hate as the motivation of their own lives; use such events as the justification to continue their hate actions. They believe that these actions are a reason for them to use hate, when in actuallity, the rest of us understand it is people who hate along with the ones who are mentally ill – such as this shooter appears to be – who are the most likely to strike out in such a fashion.

Gifford is a Democrat who favors a secure border with mexico.
Report Post »So she is actually AGAINST the mainstram D-party -latino-hispanic-mexican-illegal alien-drug cartel complex.
Then she voted against Nazi Policei….that’ll set off any Obama loyalist.

Posted on January 8, 2011 at 4:27pmHonestly I wish this would not have happened at all; the Foxnews was just reading from the captured shooters Youtube video he had apperantly planned this for a few days now. God help him when he faces a judge and/or jury; especially over the death of the young girl.
For the lost, rest in peace for your journey is now over. For the injured, and the families of all involved, may the prayers of all reach unto God, and He extend healing and mercy to them, and comfort them.
