This society is the most violent, corrupt, and failing as we speak. What options have you guys offered? Besides fantasys about a time which never exised and revisionist history. Corporations do not deserve free speech. They deserve paid speech, and for a informed public to know the difference between a commerical and news. How tyrannical. You'd think people would be getting killed its so awful asking big business to quit manipulating the populace through fear. =/

People have been getting killed over politics long before Rush Limbaugh and Fox News, sounds like you're the one fantasizing about a time which never existed.

Calling others tyrants while you advocate silencing your critics, typical steeplerot.

Man carrying concealed weapon shoots gunman preventing the death of many more.

This was my thought. This is Arizona, we pride ourselves on being the most gun friendly state in the nation. You can't tell me the shooter was the only one armed.

You're derailing this thread and need to shut the fuck up.

Actually that advice goes to everyone who wants to turn this into a political argument. Once we know what the motive behind this shooting is you are welcome to argue and point fingers all you want. For now though everyone should be trying to keep the discussion at least 1 step above the gutter.

I agree, I'm done arguing with steeplerot over this.

Gang members are dogs, they don't care who they kill. The land near them belongs to them.

As others have said.. I'll wait for the ID on the shooter before saying more. Though I do have my assumptions as everyone else does.

I for some reason think it is someone who have been reading to much conspiracy websites and thinks the world is going to hell because of...( add your standard conspiracist phrase here) . But indeed, wait and see.

According to our history, political culture, and founding principles, they do.

Show me where the majority of the founding fathers advocated assassination of political figures to further the democratic/republic agenda. Further, show me where that has been prevalent throughout our history.

This country never has furthered the agenda of anarchy against elected officials.

Limbaugh and friends are not "critics" they are paid shills with a assload of mentally deranged and programmed lackeys willing to march to the ends of the earth to believe the conservative cult. May saint Regan bless you and keep your wallet in his cold embrace of holy greed. Amen to almighty me and lets piss some liberals off!. (because what better thing to do then get off on being contrarian when you have no life?)

hopefully Rep. Giffords pulls through. Some sources are saying doctors expect her to pull through. My thoughts go out to all the victims and family.

"What is a little bit disconcerting and concerning is the inability for sporting goods stores to keep ammunition in stock ... That tells me the nation is arming. What are they arming for if it isn't that they are so distrustful of their government? They're afraid they'll have to fight for their liberty in more Second Amendment kinds of ways?" and "That's why I look at this as almost an imperative. If we don't win at the ballot box, what will be the next step?"[91]

Doctor is talking now. 10 patients, 1 dead. Doctor says the one who died was a young child. The doctor says Giffords was shot in the head and the bullet went through and through. He says he optimistic about recovery. 4 others are critical in surgery. The one who died was a 9 year old.

Very sad.
