Gifford's father blames the tea party
Her father Spencer Giffords, 75, wept when asked if his 40-year-old daughter had any enemies.

"Yeah," he told The Post. "The whole tea party."

4. I can't believe this yet
Since it is in the NY Post.

Not blaming you, but I can't imagine the family pouring their hearts out to a RW rag.

5. Absolutely disgusting!
The shooter needs to be strung up by his nads if not already dead.

is the opening salvo that will bring an end to irresponsible media. It has nothing to do with First Amendment rights but responsible journalism.

16. She was shot point blank. Without a freakish miracle, she's already gone.
Likely they are just supporting her body until her husband can come and say goodbye.

She definitely had enemies. Her office was vandalized in November and then there's this disturbing memory:

12. I am so angry thinking about what this man is enduring right now.
FUCK THE TEA PARTY. Fuck the republican party and the media for giving these psychotic assholes a platform to spew their crazy and incite violence. Fuck Sarah Palin for fostering this uneducated, racist, dipshit movement. Fuck anyone who tries to claim Rep Giffords isn't a victim (or attempted victim because it's too fucking early to know if she will survive) of a nasty political assassination.

A man who appears to have done everything right in his life, or at least everything right when raising strong, intelligent and highly successful children is now in a hospital waiting to see if his amazing daughter will live or die.

Fuck Them.
