Gabrielle Giffords, a Democratic congresswoman from Arizona, was shot and killed today at a public event outside a grocery store.

A spokesman for the Pima County sheriff says that at least 12 people were shot, with at least 6 fatalities. The Tucson Citizen reports that Rep. Giffords was "shot point blank in the head."

Rep. Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, was first elected to the House in 2006. She represents the state's 8th Congressional District.

You can mark her on the Sarah Palins kill list. I sure as hell would not want to be on her kill list.

It will be funny to see the left's face when it turns out to be some illegal immigrant.

She supported a pathway to citizenship.

It will be a Sarah Palin /Rush Limbaugh follower

The gunman was young, mid-to-late 20s, white, clean-shaven with short hair and wearing dark clothing and said nothing during the shooting or while being held down, although he struggled at first. He was "not particularly well-dressed"; he didn't look like a businessman, but more of a "fringe character," Rayle said. The sheriff's department arrived, arrested the gunman and cordoned off the parking lot.

Really??

The Congresswoman is known for cracking down on illegal immigration, urging deployment of the National Guard and new technology to protect the Arizona border.

Yes Really


"With her border district, Giffords also has worked actively on immigration issues. She has backed guest-worker programs and a path to legalization for non-citizens, as well as stronger enforcement measures on the border, where illegal immigration is a hot topic."

That's not contrary to supporting a pathway to citizenship:

Giffords favored an immigration bill with a guest-worker program and creating a path to legalization as well as enforcement provisions. The Tucson sector of the border is the only sector without a permanent interior checkpoint. Residents in towns along Interstate19 south of Tucson feared that one would cause illegal immigrants to cross their property, and Kolbe had used his seat on the powerful Appropriations Committee to prevent the Border Patrol from building one. In 2007, the Border Patrol opened a checkpoint north of Tubac. Giffords convened a legislative working group on the subject, which voted against a permanent checkpoint. The Border Patrol went ahead anyway, prompting Giffords to host several raucous community meetings in the area. She got the agency to reduce the size of the checkpoint south of Green Valley, and the agency offered to build only an interim checkpoint and to study making it permanent. Giffords called for a doubling of the number of H-1B visas for high-tech workers, and extension of the E-Verify system, which allows employers to check the immigration status of new hires. With 7th District Rep. Raul Grijalva, a Democrat, she sought $5 billion in the stimulus package to renovate ports of entry on the border.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has now done her part to raise the rhetorical intensity, telling her Twitter followers, "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: 'Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!'"

Sample of comments from Sarah Palins facebook.There are more but they are being taken down



Mark Kerr- Thank you Sarah for targeting her! She was a liberal Jew who was ruining our country with Obama care and she deserved to die. One down, 16 to go!


James Nierescher- I'm sad that it wasn't Nancy Pelosi.... Maybe next year.
