NOT dead at least of this writing. UMC confirms she is alive and in surgery at this moment.

6. This is the right wing/elites' violent America -- and they will keep delivering and increasing it...

9. The conservanazis demonize Democrats, progressives and liberals day-in, day-out

So, this doesn't surprise me. It's probably a matter of a few more days and the conservanazis' true-believers will try to kill another Democrat.

The conservanazis' leaders like druggie limpballs, Caribou Barbie, hannity and goofy-assed beckkk are to blame.

The conservanazis may find out the hard way that they are not in the majority.

The rat bastards.

14. updates

UPDATE - MSNBC says a surgeon on the scene claims that Giffords is still alive, in critical condition.

UPDATE - While there is no hard evidence at this point to suggest that the shooting was politically motivated, An anti-Giffords event was held in June with the billing: 'Get on Target for Victory in November. Help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office. Shoot a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly.'

Rep. Giffords was also on Sarah Palin's "target list."

A gun was dropped at a Giffords event in 2009, and her office was vandalized in March.
