In what i hope was a complete coincidence, Gabrielle Giffords was one of the ones named in a recent political ad of sarah palin's, where the "problem people" where noted by a crosshairs gunsight on their district. "prescribe us the solution" on another version of the ad.

I think it's pretty dang sick to make this political, sure people want to hate Sara Palin but this isn't the time. This is the time to pray for the recovery of those harmed, and to pray for the souls of the dead. Not that it is important, but it is doubtful that he would have taken any advice from Sara Palin since his schoolmates claim that he is "liberal" and "leftwing". Even that doesn't matter because I've seen his youtube videos and he is clearly insane, or suffers from some deep mental issue. He assassinated and Federal Judge appointed by a Republican, and he attempted to assassinate a Democrat. His attack was an attack on us all, not just right and left.

This young man was all across the board... politically, socially, and psychologically. Sadly it seems like he may be a good case of, "[i]what we do with crazy people who shoot people?[/i]" But I think this is awakening people to how our political culture could push someone into violence, which means we should try [b]not[/b] to promote or idealize violence.

The college he was enrolled at temporarily suspended him pending psychiatric evaluation, seriously suspecting that he may be a threat to himself or others. Other students are rumored to have suspected that he was doing hallucinogenic drugs and that it was uncomfortable to be around him. These narcotic drugs can really mess a person up, he may of discovered that the terrible way.

the problem isnt who they were, its the crosshairs on them. "solve our problem"

too many politicians and political analysts/reporters/writers make thinly veiled threats, or suggestions to violent solutions these days. it simply should never be tolerated.

It isn't a veiled threat - its simply districts that were targeted as contests to be won. Saying "take a stand" implies someone running for office.

** Obama: “They Bring a Knife…We Bring a Gun”
** Obama to His Followers: “Get in Their Faces!”
** Obama on ACORN Mobs: “I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!”
** Obama to His Mercenary Army: “Hit Back Twice As Hard”
** Obama on the private sector: “We talk to these folks… so I know whose arse to kick.“
** Obama to voters: Republican victory would mean “hand to hand combat”
** Obama to lib supporters: “It’s time to Fight for it.”
** Obama to Latino supporters: “Punish your enemies.”
** Obama to democrats: “I’m itching for a fight.”

and wasn't there a mockumentary about killing President Bush?

by the way, the Daily Kos did something similar as Palin's team did. all references have been scrubbed, but here are some sites that captured it:

[url="http://michellemalkin.com/"]michelle malkin has a screen grab too[/url]

I'd find others, but i'm tired and lazy. lol

Or we can just leave the politic nonsense out of this.

I understand a Rep. was shot, and we get caught up on [b][i]conspiracies[/i][/b]...[b][i]drives[/i][/b].

People [size="4"][u][b][i]died[/i][/b][/u][/size], let's see the bigger picture here.

i don't think that's possible, when you have an assassination attempt on a U.S. Congresswoman. (btw, now I know i'm too tired because i just misspelled assassination. sigh)

Well, if he does have a mental illness, my husband will be giving interviews all week. I guess I was just hoping it was an anti-government radical.

Why?

Would it make her in any less critically-injured?
