I didn't realize Michelle Malkin was a Democrat.

keep in mind that Giffords provoked the ire of Daily Kos liberals for refusing to vote for Pelosi for House Speaker earlier this week. - Michelle Malkin

Thank you...and God Bless you, for literally 'Nailing the truth'

At least one humane person...feels and cares...and realizes how barbaric this thread has been, because of a few cruel comments, which are mindless, and especially, HEARTLESS!!!

Sorry but I'm not buying that line of BS.

Damn right it does, getting shot while fighting for your country as a volunteer isn't exactly the same as getting shot while signing autographs at a political fund raiser or mixer with the people who you want to vote for you again.

Nobody cares what you buy, pal. Wayland Woman is speaking for 'most' decent, caring Americans, who don't spew hate and cruelty...because of political differences.

I'm so sick of her. I feel for the familes that lost loved ones that day. She was shot by a lunatic, and I feel bad for that, but I guess she is the same ol' same ol' whinning woman.

You have a great time in Hawaii, while Gabby suffers, OK! Thanks

As opposed to her Republican opponent who held rallies where participants could shoot automatic wepons at pictures of Gabby Giffords.
