FOX just said she is still alive, in critical condition and in surgery.
 
Here's hoping she pulls through, and her mind is intact. Head shots rarely leave the victim... normal.

Hopefully she got shot in the mouth area, and from the side. That is about the only kind of head shot where someone can pull through, and still be themselves.

May God be with her, and her family, and friends.
 
She was a blue dog dem and seemed really nice. I don't know why anyone would want to shoot her. She didn't seem controversial.

Oh, really, she didn't seem, controversial? Then why was she on Sarah Palin's list of "20 to target?" Palin's website said of the list including her: "We've diagnosed the problem…Help us prescribe the solution."

You people aren't getting into politics about this? You have Republicans all over the country telling Americans that our way of life is threatened by Democrats, somebody shows up and guns down one of these people, and you're not going to blame them? If Radical Islam is to blame for terrorists who fly planes into buildings, how is radical conservatism not to blame for attacks like this? Hypocrites.

You can't control crazies...and you can't blame Glenn beck because he is only an entertainer

But I see your point, the rhetoric is getting wayyyy too overheated.

This sort of post is uncalled for in this thread. if you wish to start a political hacker y thread of ASSumtions as to the motives of the shooter, feel free to join whatever classless folks wish to partake in such behavior.

Why don't you go start another thread with your insightful thoughts?

Just, please no. You have no evidence who did this, and this will just cause this thread to become disrespectful to the victims. It could have been someone from the far right, or from the far left, or just some idiot who wanted to kill a member of congress.
 
While being interviewed, a guy on CNN, just said "This was inevitiable, the right, and I'm speaking broadly, has been stoking the fires of hatred for a long time." That didn't take long for this to be blamed on conservatives/right wing ideology.

Wow, now they are saying that "AZ is a gun happy state, it's almost a fetish, so that is surely to blame"

and the person you got the quotes from also said it was his opinion, he also is a left political cartoonist. I live in Az and I don't see the stoking of hatred.

Wish they would set politics aside for a bit. My prayers are for her and her family. May no one have mecy for the shooter.

Ouch...she was shot point blank in the head according to AP
 
Seems it needs repeated

PLEASE JUST KEEP IT CIVIL FOR NOW

Hopes, prayers, best wishes, genuine thoughts or what ever it is anybody does, do it now for the victims, bystanders, family and friends.

RESPECTFULLY leave the politics alone!

Just terrible.
Ill pray and wish everyone the best I can.
 
Rest In Peace.

My thoughts go out to her family and her husband Mark Kelly.

Moderator's Warning:
Perhaps you can't read. I said to be respectful and stiffle the partisanship. Take it elsewhere.
 
Why don't you go start another thread with your insightful thoughts?

So only Republicans are allowed to discuss a Democratic congresswoman being shot and possible killed along with half a dozen of her supporters? Republicans have been saying "do whatever it takes to get rid of these people," well, somebody got rid of them and now you won't let me express my outrage over the over-the-top rhetoric that is partially to blame for this? Let's get real, half of these posts from Republicans are because you feel bad, and half of them are immediate damage control: you know exactly what is to blame and you don't want to admit that it's true.

Live with it. It's true.

Here's from Sarah Palin's website:

Now the website is gone. What a shock.

EDIT: I didn't see the warning, but I think it's an outrage that you won't allow what I'm saying to be heard. I'll bow out of the thread but that's a blatant abuse of your power as a mod. I'm not egging anybody on, I'm speaking the truth. Partisanship isn't allowed on "Debate Politics?"

Anyone can discuss it, but to start making assumptions of your scale are uncalled for. This is practically a RIP thread, with the same amount of respect due to Congresswoman Giffords. We can start talking about the politics later
