Giffords Worried about Sarah Palin Putting Her in Crosshairs

Saturday, January 08, 2011 Giffords Worried about Sarah Palin Putting Her in Crosshairs Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Arizona), was shot through the head on Saturday, January 8. Back on March 22, 2010, just hours after Giffords voted to pass the health reform bill, the glass door of her office in Tucson was smashed The following evening, Sarah Palin revealed her list of 20 Democratic members of Congress she urged her followers to defeat. She illustrated her list with a map of the United States that displayed a rifle scope on top of each of the 20 districts she was targeting. One of the targeted districts was that of Gabrielle Giffords. Palin also tweeted, “Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!” On March 25, MSNBC invited Giffords to comment on the attack on her office. Giffords noted that “We're on Sarah Palin's targeted list, but the thing is that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district, and when people do that, they've gotta realize there are consequences to that action.” MSNBC co-host Chuck Todd was quick to defend Palin. “In fairness,” he said, “campaign rhetoric and war rhetoric have been interchangeable for years….I understand that in the comment it may look bad, but do you really think that’s what she intended?” Unfortunately, it was Giffords who got it right and Todd who got it wrong. Here is the MSNBC interview. Giffords’ comments about Palin appear at the 2:20 mark.

Wow. Good point. I see what you're alluding to. Wouldn't it be ironic if Palin's indirect ass_assination attempt on Giffords actually CREATES the person who will prevent Palin from ever running?... and Giffords BECOMES the first female President? Sort of like the sympathy McCain gets for the vet issues.

80% to full recovery, and it's a done deal. (100% mental required though)
