U.S. Rep. Gabrielle “Gabby” Giffords (D-AZ) was shot in the head outside a grocery store in Tucson while holding a public event Saturday morning. Numerous national news outlets reported earlier she had died, but a doctor said during a press conference Saturday afternoon that she is alive and he expects her to live after undergoing surgery. The most updated reports say 18 people were injured, while five have died, including a 9-year-old girl died.

“I’m very optimistic about her recovery.” Dr. Peter Rhee said at an afternoon news conference at University Medical Center in Tucson. “She was shot one time in the head through and through,”

According to the Arizona Republic, the bullet entered one side of her head and exited the other after passing through her brain, Rhee said.

Report: Giffords‘ Gunman ’Left Wing, Quite Liberal’

According to Business Insider, a woman claiming to have been a classmate of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords‘ alleged shooter Jared Loughner says he has run into the Congresswoman once before and that he’s “left wing” and “quite liberal.” That comes as some on the left are trying to paint Loughner as one who succumbed to angry, Tea Party rhetoric.

Business Insider says Laughner’s classmate made the revelations about his political persuasions via her Twitter account:



But when news of the shooting broke, some conservatives, especially Tea Party officials, expressed concern that the left might try to label that gunman as a radical right-winger.

While Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips condemned the attack on Giffords, he told The Hill was concerned the Tea Party movement would be blamed for the incident.

“While we need to take a moment to extend our sympathies to the families of those who died, we cannot allow the hard left to do what it tried to do in 1995 after the Oklahoma City bombing,” he said.

Debbi Dooley, a national coordinator for Tea Party Patriots, echoed a similar sentiment to Congress.org. “A lot of people have bets on how long it will take before they blame this on the tea party and that’s absolutely ridiculous,” she said. Her group condemned the attack via Facebook.

“This heinous act will change the interaction between elected officials and their constituents,” the group’s Facebook wall said. “People also pray for the safety of congressmen, senators, President Obama and other elected officials in the aftermath of this shooting.”

Phillips and Dooley were right.

“Some prominent liberal bloggers wasted little time before politicizing the horrific and tragic shooting of a congresswoman in Arizona on Saturday,” Politics Daily’s Matt Lewis writes.

For example, Markos Moulitsas, founder of the liberal website DailyKos, sent numerous tweets chiding Palin and the right for the attack:



NOTE- This tweet is more evidence that liberals like Moulitsas have a severe mental disorder. If anything, Gabrielle “Gabby” Giffords is despised by far-left progressive liberals like Moulitsas, and liked by conservatives. She's one of the very few good democrats left in congress. The entire party has been hijacked and destroyed by progressives, communist members, Marxists and admitted socialists. Gabrielle Giffords is the LAST democrat in congress who conservatives or the tea party would have a problem with and it's going to be disgraceful to watch the liberal media lie and politicize this tragedy.

It doesn't matter what this lunatics political beliefs were or what gun laws are on the books in Arizona, it's the shooter and ONLY the shooter is to blame for this tragedy. Look for the left wing JACKASSES in the media to ignore the fact that the shooter himself is a leftist, and try to blame the tea party and republicans for this tragedy, hoping their ignorant 'sheep' viewers actually believe them. Those viewers would be called 'progressives,' the people who are ruining America themselves.

Unfortunately we already have scumbags like Keith Olbermann, the entire CNN network, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and David Gregory from 'Meet the Libs' already fabricating the reason for the shooting.
