Politically Charged Violence - Who's Responsible?

Story on Facebook is Karl Rove wrote the speech and set her up! Use of the word punndants rather than pundits tipped off a FB member who has met Rove and knows the man well. Not likes him just knows his style personally. Hmmm.

Does that mean she doesn't read things before she goes public with it. If so, she's even less bright than I first thought.

I suspect much of what she read off the teleprompter went right over her head. I am beginning to think she is just a puppet. As I thought GW was a puppet. Too bad no one will get a chance to pull her strings if they had hopes of getting her into the WH.

I just came back from checking to see what the Freepers were saying about the speech. It seems that it was horrible that people cheered and applauded.

I need a shower.

I knew as soon as I heard the first applause the freepers were going to jump all over it, like they still do when referencing the Wellstone memorial. I admit that I did not feel entirely comfortable hearing cheers when someone named someone who died. But we Americans have so few ways to express our overwhelming emotions.

One bright spot that has emerged from this horrible tragedy is Gifford's intern Daniel Hernadez. Wow, that guy has a bright, gay, hispanic future in the D party!

We are going to see a great deal of this bright young man! The interview he did on Nightline was awesome!!! His speaking ability reminds me of a younger President Obama.

...and a well-deserved one.

I thought Rep Giffords was a conservative Democrat............I know I heard that........maybe from Rachel or Thom Hartman or Randi Rhodes............

now I have to try to figure it out............

-------------
I do find it a bit disturbing to suggest that any member of the House is an 'inconsequential politician'. I am sure that no one in her district thought she was inconsequential before she was shot. Giffords is a 3 term House member.

----------
I watched part of the memorial service and I was a bit skeeved at all the cheering and clapping and hooting and hollering that went on................and it was during the entire service, not just during Obama's words to the country.

I heard part of her speech this am, and I thought, Hmm, this doesn't sound like Sarah Palin. I did wonder if she had practiced reading the speech with conviction. I mean, even politicos with whom I agree use speechwriters. But, I guess we assume that a speechwriter represents the speaker's own style of discourse and political beliefs. I thought I heard her stumble over pundits, and I thought, Well, anyone can make a mistake off a teleprompter. But, we have a right to expect that our powerful elected officials and candidates can speak extemporaneously.
