Arizona Congresswoman Wounded; Several Killed by Gunman

[gloomyDAY]

Just interrupted the NFL Playoff Pre-Game Show.

I have my money on a Tea Party loyalist who committed this crime.

Of course Gloomy when it isn't, you will of course apologize for taking the actions of one kook and thinking it is typical of all members in that movement?

Damn tragedy no matter what happened, but I think if a deranged Tea Party guy was going to attack a liberal, he would take a run at someone bigger than just an ordinary congresswoman....

[Mark in Oshawa]

This story has just popped up on my mobile phone, although he hadn't been updated to say she had died. How terrible....

I think the most recent attack in Britain on a political figure involved an egg and our monarchy get bins thrown at their car. This guy must have really thought this through to actually want to end her life. Unbelievable.

It is. The story I read was a gunman just walked into some political town hall meeting with the public and opened up on her. Regardless of one's politics, this sort of attack is disturbing and isn't what 99.9% of the population wants....

reports now in that shes at the hospital in surgery, but if shot in the head, thats not a good sign

may we hope for the best, this was actually one politician trying to BETTER the USA

Reports say, that up to twelve people were shot.
From what I read though, most reports are guesses.

One article said she had proposed a five percent pay cut for members of Congress, rather than T.E.A. party people, I would say Democrats in Congress; they like to take more money, not less.

Oh gee, on CNN the first gun control bs, has been spewed forth.
------

The have one suspect and are looking for a second.
---------------

From Fox nineteen people shot, and five dead.
-------------

CNN still ranting about guns.

Fousto was online at that time, so it couldn't have been him.

Addendum- she has been raised to saint-hood, by comments on CNN, but apparently the other people shot are not worth the time of day as they seem to be totally ignored.

In much the same way as you deserve to be with comments like those above. Will you ever learn?

What, you would prefer I blamed the "Tea" party?
Yet you took time to comment, on me, rather than the topic.
Makes you look rathe obtuse now, does it not?

In much the same way as you took time to make a political point which I considered unnecessary. Nowhere, I might add, did I do so. Oh, and you must get over this misuse of the word 'obtuse'.

Terrible news. Just heard it on the radio - from latest reports it suggests she is alive.
