Rep. Gabrielle Giffords On Sarah Palin's Rifle Crosshairs Graphic

[king13shodaieEEE1]

Sarah Palin must be a member of scientology

[InATelescopeLens]

And OWS is violent? Hmmm...

[TargetedIndividual1]

Listen very very close to an old copy of Inception.

[dragondeathlord]

@StigmataBOB1 Are you joking? Sarah Palin incited Violence to subvert the Democratic Process and several people including a child died. Screw Satin we have Sarah Palin. Would this of happened with out Sarah Palin, No it would not. Put your Nazi bitch in Jail.Does anyone think that would of stopped this shooting? Oh yes me and about 200 million others.

[king13shodaieEEE1]

@dragondeathlord the real target was federal judge john roll. he died

[roguetrip99]

Osara Bin Palin needs to STFU and go back to being a porn star before she gets more people killed

[sxydiamond7]

His video is also on youtube/ L'il Zay 1-8-11

[mojofortherepublic]

she said ''our democracy''? i hope all the best for her, but she has no clue as to what form of government america is, or maybe she does and is part of the problem

[stargate55746]

I wish someone had shot Sarah Palin instead.

[NoxusGas100]

@stargate55746 Boy!!! that will the day I jump through my roof for joy.

[StigmataBOB1]

What if we put the right wing extremist all in jail. Does anyone think that will stop the shootings? Or would it continue, like it has for years? Maybe Christ knew this was going to happen in the end times.?

Look if you can at Revelation 2:9 Would Satin get the right wing, and the left wing, fighting each other?

Ask “Who benefits from all the shootings”?

[BudWiser999]

The only way a true conservative can get elected is to kiss the ass of AIPAC, take their money and vote the way the Jewish Communists want. That's how politics has worked in America since the JEW GOONS have amassed the huge power and stranglehold over the government. THROW OUT ALL OF THE JEWS AND KRYPTO-JEWS from the U.S. Congress and the world will be a more peaceful place.

[Gizziiusa]

@BudWiser999 you sir, are quite correct in your assessment.

[x422mno]

@BudWiser999 Put the tinfoil had back on and have a few more beers. That'll keep the Alien thought control rays from bothering you so much.

[BudWiser999]

@x422mno

I am "wiser" than you with or without any beer. Maybe you should take off your yamulke beannie so you wouldn't be so noticeable.

[speedoflite1]

Giffords = a dignified fighter who appeals to our best hopes and dreams.

Palin = a millionaire demagogue by now who appeals to our worse fears and divisions.

Guess who appeals to so-called "non-partisan" Tea Party!?!? telling.

[SucktheStiffnessOut]

Note to self: Arizona is the "new South."

[logsandswirls]

what is wrong with this crazy ass country of mine?? The government bails out private banks (socialism) and nothing from the people, the government tries to provide more options for healthcare and the people throw bricks... WTF?

[abrnt1]

The fact Palin refuses to face the fact that her actions were disgusting only goes to show why everyone in the USA should be thanking whatever god they worship this nut didn't end up in the White House.

[DOCTORDANification]

Politics has ALWAYS had stalker weirdos, just like golf, just like freaking Hannah Montana, KISS, Cheech and Chong, name a celebrity who doesn't get screwed with. Jackie Mason. Okay. That's one, but does he really count? Caddyshack II was an eggsuck and "Chicken Soup" lasted thankfully like three weeks. Fuck you, Jackie Mason.

[Stackpot]

Does Sarah Palin have blood on her hands????

[ThomasHorter]

This is a really sad video...

[Teapartyla]

This seems like a nice lady. Why couldnt he take out Reed, or Pelosi. Dude you shot the wrong person you dumbass.

[dannon2010]

@Teapartyla Saying you shot the wrong person, isn't probably the way to go about getting your ideas across. Rep. Giffords hasn't quit her job, hasn't made millions on the fact that she did quit her job, and hasn't inflamed emotion in people like you. I guess, in fact, you are right in a way...But just a suggestion for you, if it isn't already too late....I wouldn't make statement that shooting another Representative is a good idea, in any way. The authorities are VERY SERIOUS about now.

[hunterdh76]

I think Sarah Palin needs to find a job digging ditches or atleast a job that don't require alot of brains.

[jingle3]

I'm praying for Rep. Giffords - what a great leader -and her family, and the other victims and their families.

[faid421e]

Perhaps someone could give an example of this

"violent"rhetoric that we are supposed to be hearing on the talk radio and from sarah palin? i listen to talk radio everyday, I have heard no such rhetoric and i have yet to shoot anyone over my political or religious beliefs.

[jingle3]

@faid421e

Here are a couple examples for you from a couple of your favorite hosts:

Rush Limbaugh: "I tell people don't kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus--living fossils--so we we'll never forget what these people stood for."

Glenn Beck: "Hang on, let me just tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could."

[underthebox]

There should be an in-depth federal investigation on Sarah Palin and the organizations that promote her violence-mongering rhetoric.

[pendragonU]

"Ignorance is the mind living in the night,but that is a night without stars or Moon."

_Confucius

And I am sure Sarah Palin aint the Moon in their darkness but if they believe her so they are lunatics following a fake Star light.She and co. crime agitators need to be taken down.

[cilo56]

Youtube: "Republican Sharron Angle: If We Don't Get Our Way Politically, Let's Start Shooting People!". hen you tube: " crooks and liars Tea Party Republican warns that the next step after 'the ballot box' is 'the bullet box ". then youtube: "Sarah Palin cosshairs". then Youtube " Gabrielle Giffords about Sarah Palin's violent rhetoric " The Republican tea party leaders gave motive, instruction, and target to their members. 1 + 1 = 2.

[XforeverlongingX]

@SuchIsLifeVideos Didn't say they did get violent. But, they did things and said things that people found offensive to their religion, their families, and society. You know exactly what I am talking about.

[danielson68]

MSNBC rhetoric is the worst. By all accounts this guy was a leftist and nuts. Another Opposition is not "rhetoric" it's opposition.  This is just an attempt to silence peaceful opposition. Weak and disgusting that the left wants to use this as a political football.

[danielson68]

[thatsmyrail]

Palin knows she's responsible. She just won't admit it obviously. It was pretty clear that this guy had sympathies for the right-wing and was against the govt, like most tea partiers. Hopefully, someday these people will realise that they are not god but just a bunch of hate spreading subhumans.

[bolinha72]

Estamos consternados com o que ocorreu com a Dep Giffords, quero dizer que de minha parte estou rezando para que ela sobreviva a essa tragédia e que Deus dê toda proteção que precisar. Aqui no Brasil estamos verdadeiramente chocados com o lamentável ataque contra a vida da deputada. Força Danielle o Senhor Jesus está contigo e lhe ajudará nesta hora tão difícil.

[orbitalsatellite]

a proper investigation needs to be made to see if jared loughan saw any of the imagery on palin's poster or heard any of her disgusting remarks, by way of checking his harddrive to determine if palin is implicated in this. if so, she should be held accountable

[orbitalsatellite]

@JeepChew why dont we just keep this discussion about whether palin shouldve put crosshairs on her poster, not an X or diagonal line, or question mark or any of your other comments about elitism, etc. a crosshair is a much more potent symbol compared to an X, diag line or question mark, dont you think?

[wateryskipper]

What a nice lady!!!!!!!!!

[HowardSternn]

Sorry Palin drinks to much kool aid

[wntoply6]

palin's political philosophies have never been an held as a beacon of the ideals of the american spirit. to say she parrots what some extremists want to hear, either for political or financial gain, is an understatement.

rather than an inspiration, to most americans, she has become, a divisive icon, who with her discourse (whether the right likes it or not) has now unwillingly and/or unwarranted taken center stage, as a catalyst to a mass murder.

once again she is not of presidential timber!

[hugoa1975]

sarah palin is cancer.......getting worse every day!

[orbitalsatellite]

@XforeverlongingX ok, yes, i mixed up the two but her comments about "reloading" certainly crossed the line regarding free speech. my point remains completely valid, that is definitley inciting violence. and she abused her freedom of expression with the crosshairs debarcle. what are you defending anyway, free speech, freedom of expression or palin? are you aware of laws regarding inciting violence? obviously not.

[futuristfood]

sarah palin is all wrong..she better have her nasty tail between her legs tonight,. loud whore. may she fade into oblivion quickly.

[XforeverlongingX]

@SuchIsLifeVideos According to the oppressors it does my friend. We would not have been able to even voice our opinions if we allowed what you guys want which is this "responsible speech" bullshit. Who gets to decide what is responsible? once you start that, you're on the road to a disaster.

[laserthebeam]

@JeepChew =ANTI-SEMITE!

[SuperHuntard]

I'm moving to Canada. You all are nucking futs.

[greenabsint]

Avenge Gabrielle Giffords! Shoot Sarah Palin!

[orbitalsatellite]

@XforeverlongingX free speech shouldnt allow someone to put crosshairs on their political posters. that an utter abuse of free speech. not to mention that nutjobs take those kind of things seriously, so why fucking allow it? it is against the law to incite violence, that has nothing to do with free speech. theres a line. get off your free speech high horse and come down to reality for a second. and its exception, not acception.

[XforeverlongingX]

@orbitalsatellite "free speech shouldnt allow someone to put crosshairs on their political posters. that an utter abuse of free speech" No it's not. You're talking about freedom of expression. I don't care if someone puts crosshairs on anything. YOU don't have a right to prevent them from doing so. YOU don't get to decide what "abuse" is.

[blastemy]

Sarah Palin is a fucking cunt!!! She deliberately provoked this. She put out her message hoping this would happen. I hope it backfires on her. I just read her show got canceled. Good!!! Don't know if it was because of the shooting, but it will hopefully keep her from getting elected to anything else.

[spadiony]

The way we practice freedom of press in the nation is sad. Ratings over impact of morale. It's an entrapment spearheaded by your friendly TV NETWORK, IT, the 'NETWORK' transmits its agenda to the voter - by ways of allowing the most tasteless, but vocabulary-9mm-loading-savy and horrendous 'reporters' go on air. THEY have long sold their souls to the devil (their names need not be mentioned for it is a sin to contemplate the idea of this mass manipulation in a free US) We are all asleep B4THEM

[kmelfina]

@CuteKyrgyz she isn't dead just in critical condition, hopefully she'll make it!

[CuteKyrgyz]

@kmelfina Wow. I heard she died. I'm glad I was mistaken! I hope she will be OK

[XforeverlongingX]

@SuchIsLifeVideos We'll have to disagree on this one. For once, sarah palin is not responsible for a persons death for uttering a few phrases that reached the ear of an absolute nutjob. This is a free country, you can say whatever you want, and I will always do that, and you know I will :P

[XforeverlongingX]

@SuchIsLifeVideos You think the lgbt community could have gotten where it did without the first amendment right? I DON'T think so.

[PUMKINMANforever]

@XforeverlongingX What a preposterous and offensive comparison! I would expect an apology for suggesting that the LGBT community is comparable to the violence and hate mongering tea party.

[XforeverlongingX]

@PUMKINMANforever Who made the comparison?

[XforeverlongingX]

@PUMKINMANforever "What a preposterous and offensive comparison! I would expect an apology for suggesting that the LGBT community is comparable to the violence and hate mongering tea party."

You say comparison, then you say suggestion? which is it? there is a world of difference between the words. Stop being such a pansy.

[PUMKINMANforever]

@XforeverlongingX I said "suggesting" it was "comparable" so don't try equivocating yourself out of this. You can either own up, apologize for your groundless insult and salvage some self-respect, or you can join the ranks of the millions of other bigots on youtube. Either way, don't think cowering behind semantics would save you from justified derision anywhere outside the anonymity of the internet.

[XforeverlongingX]

@SuchIsLifeVideos No i'm not missing the point, you are. You want to stifle freedom of expression because you don't like what you hear? c'mon suchislifevideos, we want liberties, not manacles. Violent vitriol didn't give this guy a focus, this guy was a nutjob. If he wasn't a nutjob he wouldn't have done this. Unless ofcourse, he was religious, then that would only be the other acception

[laserthebeam]

@XforeverlongingX enough with the FREE SPEECH.......we need and deserve RESPONSIBLE SPEECH!!!!

[XforeverlongingX]

@laserthebeam And who's going to decide what responsible speech is? you?

[ghenulo]

@XforeverlongingX You're being a bit silly and off-topic here. Canada has free speech but also policies against hate speech, invoking violence. If one's only speech is violent, then that person should be locked up like Loughner, only proactively.

[XforeverlongingX]

I'm just not that quick to jump the gun. If we are to assume anything, assume from his youtube videos that he was slightly paranoid?

[widow357son]

Ok, I am normally A-Political but gotta speak my mind:

DEAR SARAH, ie DOMESTIC TERRORIST...even better, "the one that doesn't DESERVE The title of GOVENOR because you did NOT finish a term"....how long is the sentence for accessory to ATTEMPTED MURDER since you had GABRIELLE GIFFORDS in your crosshairs. Hope you are proud....most mothers try to protect, NOT ENDANGER other women and little girls (a 9-year old died because of your recklessness) . AND....since you are a hunter, I know you are use

[B0Stv]

"When people do that the've got to realize there are consequences to that action." Gabrielle Giffords words seem to resonate more today than when this interview was recorded last March.

[XforeverlongingX]

How do we know she was targeted because of her vote on healthcare? that doesn't sound like it makes any sense. Guys stop jumping the fucking gun already like you fucking know everything. Sarah palin is a dumbass, we know that, but we don't know the whole story in this case.

[jboze3131]

Grow up, folks. "In the crosshairs" is a figure of speech. No sane adults think that such a figure of speech is an invitation to violence, and it's stupid and childish to lay blame on Palin or anyone except the only person responsible- the shooter.

I could easily (and just as absurdly) argue the dailykos posting from a few days ago about Giffords being "dead" to the person who posted their anger at her is responsible for the shooting. 

[supermacfan10]

here is what is so funny to me. The "ConservativeNewMedia" Youtube channel has posted a video of sarah palin's response to this incident, but you CAN NOT post a comment unless it is "approved".. huummm... seems to me they knew this was going to happen, condone it, and will not allow comments of anger against sarah palin.

[Clemburke1111]

If this does not bring down Sarah Palin, I promise you nothing will.

[Cgrinbaum]

I hope Sarah Palin is proud, 5 people (and counting) including a 7 year old are dead.

This is sick.

[WhiteMousse1980]

@Cgrinbaum Trying to pin this on Sarah Palin is contrived and honestly, pathetic. I wish Ms. Giffords the best and a speedy recovery, but even the guy on the news called her out on the nonsense of connecting Palin's poster to violence. It's political banter, nothing more.

[laserthebeam]

@WhiteMousse1980 i blame all of this on the tea party in general, and glenn beck in PARTICULAR......the tea party should be OUTLAWED.....and glenn beck should be arrested and charged with TREASON!

[silentfades]

@Cgrinbaum I agree it is deplorable however I am sure Sarah Palin though will never admit it in her twisted evil thinking is proud.

[danielson68]

@Cgrinbaum Amazing how a crazy leftist shoots a congressman and innocent people and it's supposed to be Sarrah Palin's fault. Typical leftist. Blame everyone, but the person responsible.

[keybladeblastcalibur]

@danielson68 yeah really, the lefter`s here are so crooked it makes my head spin, and my problem is THERES SO DAMN MANY!!! <:o

[keybladeblastcalibur]

@Cgrinbaum the shooter was a pot-headed left wing occultist, you can`t just blame poor palin like that, Barack obama has way more blood on his hands than palin but you looney liberals just keep on with the hypocritical thinking and proofless bullshit arguments. GO PALIN 2012

[MrZonk2010]

@Cgrinbaum you are an idiot

[WeaselHalfbreed]

@Cgrinbaum Well, Sarah Palin is a proponent for killing and shooting helpless animals, so why not people, too? Sarah Palin is a borderline meglomaniac with a delusional sense of herself being an important person on the world stage...she really thinks she's meant to be on this earth to direct God's people for a inclusive paradise.

[billybob101013]

@Cgrinbaum poor poor sarah its all about sarah not about 5 people an a 7 year old

dead (sarah's feelings is more important than anything) she has a right to put a hit

list online an ask for Gabrielle death poor poor poor poor poor poor poor sarah

[itsasin1969]

2:40 You will be hearing a lot more of this bit of tape again and again, This is what the tea bagers wanted.

[supermacfan10]

If sarah palin, (name not capitalized on purpose) was at all, in any way responsible, partly responsible, or responsible in part for this, she needs to be in prison. Her ads promoted violence. sarah palin is, in my opinion, an ugly person inside and out, and should just stay home and raise her kids, and God help them. I wish the best to Gabrielle Giffords and her recovery!! I REALLY hope she will be able to continue to do her job! My prayers are with her and her family.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Congratulations are pouring into Sarah Palin's office today, on a job well done.  Champaign corks are popping in Wasilla.
