well she ends every speech with "I have a speech impediment" yet manages to make it through every speech she gives.
I think he was just calling out the pot for calling out the kettle.
That's just my opinion though.

If she is brain damaged it is low of the Hilldog team to use her as a spokeswoman. If she isn't brain damaged she is fully aware of the consequence of public speaking.
I don't know this lady nor will I give her pity for being shot. She seems quite aware and unaffected giving me every reason and right to criticize her and NOT take sympathy for her history.
Why should I respect her words? Because she survived a gunshot? Hell, in that case I better start taking rap music as actual gospel.

This is interesting, sad, and alarming all at the same time.
Somebody has put up a video about Gabby Giffords using a fake voice to apparently get sympathy.
I never heard of the tactic being used by Giffords, and maybe someone can figure this out.
Apparently this is connected to the Hillary Campaign?
Gabby Giffords Brings Fake Speech Impediment on the Road for Hillary Clinton
Gabby Giffords is still at it in 2016, doing her ridiculous fake speech impediment and reciting her exact same lines all over the country, to cheering crowds of idiots. She’s almost like a robot.
This has to be the first ever example of a hollow point bullet causing a person to start talking like a 5 year old girl and use the exact same hand gestures all the time.. Oh, and the miraculous healing with no scar thing.

Not sure why anyone would attack this woman. How low we trying to go here? Your about to the floor.

That is an interesting point. I'm not sure why she would repeat that, it would be fairly obvious, especially to those who know her story.
It could be her fluffing up the act or it could be some insecurity she feels she always needs to address.
I am in no way versed in this stuff and have one anecdotal example to go off of, but I'm imagining a hollow point to the brain would significantly affect certain cognitive processes, possibly affecting self-image or creating a compulsive need to sound off obvious statements to appear to own the situation.
I don't know, it could be any number of things. I just can't see how the first conclusion people would jump to is that she's faking it in lieu of any concete-ish evidence of.

But we should respect her enough not to accuse her of faking the gunshot without proof.

Is that what this thread is about?
If so I apologize. I didn't read that anywhere.
All I read was she is faking a condition and using it for sympathy points.

You don't have to give her sympathy, no one including me was asking you to. The claim in the OP is that she's faking her speech impediment. I'm saying that the claim is absurd and low. That's all.

It's not all that absurd though. I haven't looked into her specific condition, but it is absolutely a possibility she is faking it completely.
Here's a challenge. Find a recorded speech of her having a "speech impediment episode".

I said faking the gunshot.
We all know she got shot.
She magically has no speech impediment during public speaking events. If she has one and speaks so much there should be some recorded evidence somewhere right?
