Should victims of slander start demanding the repeal of the First Amendment? Or how about the victims of illegal search and seizures advocate for the repeal of the Fourth Amendment?
Victim status does not give anyone the right to deprive others of their constitutionally protected inherent individual rights.
1st amendment is regulated believe it or not, and victims of slander benefit from this regulation.
This woman was shot in the head and you believe she shouldn't speak out and take a stand? If not her.... whom? You? You give your opinions here frequently. She's not allowed to do the same?
Yes. That's how America works. No one dismisses the First Amendment more than those who cling to the Second.
She can have whatever opinion she wants, but she is wrong to think that she has some "special" victim status and that gives her more say. If anything, she is an anti-American hypocrite for advocating infringing on the rights of others. But then again, she was an anti-American hypocrite before she was shot, so I suppose that has not changed.
The real victim in the Gafford's shooting was Sarah Palin. The media blamed her within one hour of the shooting..........even before we knew who the shooter was.
I've been watching her Facebook page most of the day, have they actually said what any of these responsible ideas or plans are? I haven't seen anything but empty BS followed by hundreds of Obama voters jumping on board to support it.
Crime rates in NYC are at historic laws. I'd say he must be doing something right.
The USSR also had historically low crime rates. That does not mean I would want to live in a dictatorship, any more than I would want to live under the fascist Bloomberg.
How is your opinion on politics or policies any more valid than hers??
For one thing, he is not advocating that our liberties be taken away. Anyone who advocates such a position has no credibility, and most certainly is not valid.
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to mock her injuries -- the same way 2A types have been mocking James Brady, who like Giffords got shot in the head and is consequently not quite as sharp as he used to be, for the past 30 years.
Stay classy.
Not mocking her injuries, but rather her political party, I'm thinking. Liberals don't think - they only feeeel.
Funny you should mention James Brady. Another man, who while suffering a tragedy, let his personal fears control his critical thinking.
Why haven't either Brady or Giffords come out to fight mental illness? That's the real reason both of them were shot.
