The Arizona Massacre

[we vs us]

After being on vacation for 7 wonderful days I come home, pop up the forums and I read....A few people here wrote what his was really about. People died, others hurt and recovering. More than one family has had their hearts torn out and one very disturbed man is in custody.

The remainder of you that decided to turn this into what it has become, political, should be ashamed. Insulting each other? CjC?? Really?

That 9 year old little girl had more class in her little pinky toe than all of you put together in your whole miserable lives. That man showed more love for his wife by laying down his own for her than I think any of you can imagine. But still you write crap over and over. Well please continue. For myself I will keep the families in my thoughts for a very long time instead.

We missed you too!

In this case, where a little girl was gunned down in the street, the fact that her family made the decision to think about another when they are suffering perhaps the worst possible pain is newsworthy. Perhaps the media was also trying to show some kind of a silver lining in this horrific story.

It reminds me of the family touring Italy when someone shot and killed their young son, and they thought of saving others and donated his organs.

To clarify, the story we were listening to made it sound like this little girl had made a conscious decison and discussed it with her parents at length at some point.  Not calling BS on the girl or family but I'm seriously calling BS on the media which is gleefully profiting from such sicko journalism and they know it.  That's why they sensationalize it so much.  I'm truly sickened by it.

Some of us are capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time. We did get more than a little acrimonious, though, and for that we all should be at least a little ashamed.

Rep. Giffords stands for the first time.

Weapons Grade Stupidity. "Hey, let's attack the parents of the surgeon treating Rep. Giffords for being Teabaggers"

JFC, that is some stupid pap.  Why on earth are people digging into the background of her surgeon's family?  Really?  Yeah divisiveness and pettiness is the sole pervue of conservatives.  I guess whatever it takes to take the focus off your own bitterness and hateful rhetoric.

OK, how about this?  Someone already calling for her to vacate her seat?  Really?

I don't consider myself an unfeeling bastard but I'm starting to feel the play-by-play on her recovery is getting out of hand.

I haven't watched the news in a week, just because I knew this would happen.  Leave the woman and her husband to their privacy.

CNN was showing the outside of her plane before takeoff and then after landing in Houston. 

Between that, the litigious texting fountain lady,and the kidnapped infant turned 23 year old family finde ,here was nothing else on the news.

[guido911]

And now here's someone that thinks Giffords should not be on the Armed Services Committee. What? She's dem? Nevermind.

You uncaring bastard.

I hear you, I'm so tired of news as entertainment, so I vote with my remote.  I wish they would quit sensationalizing the news so the Springer crowd would go back to watching Springer instead of CNN.

Not sure how a sitting Congresswoman who survived a very public assassination attempt by point blank gunshot wound to the head would attract only the Springer crowd. I mean, I am by no means a democrat and a "Springer" fan, but I do believe Giffords survival was nothing short of miracle.

It's not the event, but the fact that the media seems to think they need to cover every little detail about everything remotely connected to it, and nothing but that.  Next thing you know, they are going to have her hair stylest in an interview telling what she really thought of her dog.
