The father of shot American congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has said that her political stance made her many enemies.
Miss Giffords, a Democrat congresswoman, was shot in the head during a public meeting in Tucson, Arizona.
A lone gunman, described by witnesses as being a white man in his late teens or early twenties, fired into a crowd gathered for a "Congress in your Corner" event outside a supermarket.
Her father Spencer Giffords, 75, wept when asked if his 40-year-old daughter had any enemies.
"Yeah," he told The New York Post. "The whole tea party."
Miss Giffords had been named in March as a political campaign target for conservatives in November’s elections by former Alaska governor Sarah Palin for her strong support for the health reforms of President Barack Obama.....

Yeah. That's my assessment of the shooter as well, thus far.
Bush’s fault? No after the crap I’ve read all over the place today I’m pretty sure the “somebody has to be blamed for this” baton has officially passed to Palin.
"favorite books: ...The Communist Manifesto... Mein Kampf..."
His video "Introduction: Jared Loughner" on Youtube states:
"... a terrorist is a person who employs terror on terrorism, especially as a political weapon." but "Calling someone a terrorist is "Ad hominem".Weak case for the sort of patriotic American rightwing Christian profiled by Napolitano & company as a terrorist."The government is implying {sic} mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar."
"No! I won't trust in God!"... and uses the "B.C.E." & "A.D.E" instead of the Christian "B.C." & "A.D.E"
One way to find out. Who did this guy vote for in 2010?
I don't believe the suspect is an illegal alien.
So far, all the violence has come from the left, commies, leftists etc.
THEY are the loonies. We are just trying to stay alive!
If the left only knew how stupid they're going to look when they end up covered with the very poo they're flinging, they'd gladly glom onto the insanity defense and quietly bury this story as fast as they could.
Lee Harvey Oswald - Communist
Sirhan Sirhan - Palestinian terrorist
John Wilkes Booth - Democrat, confederate sympathizer and secret society leader
Leon Frank Czolgosz - Anarchist
Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme and Sara Jane Moore - Manson cult followers and hippies. Etc, etc..
Ever since JFK was assassinated (by Lee Harvey Oswald, an avowed communist) the left has successfully lied to the American people and claimed that ‘right-wingers’ are crazed assassins and will kill you if you disagree with liberal political positions.
Obama’s best bud and the leading leftist for (Re)education William “the bomber” Ayers made a dedication to Sirhan Sirhan (assassin of the leftists idol Bobby Kenedy) among other killers in one of his books, I believe it was “Prairie Fire”.
That’s a GREAT link thanks!
Guiseppe Zangara- Italian anarchist
That would be great to know, but we might never know.
Give me liberty or give me Death!
Words to live by!
I’m a part of the tea party and if 200 people gets shot by some nut,
I’m still not going to give my freedoms away to the left and the RINOS!
The nutcase took it upon himself to be a political enforcer for the Hard Left, so, no conspiracy theories. Yet this incident will be twisted by extreme pretzel logic. “Anyone who disagrees with the Hard Left is deranged and violent.” (Please note the quotes, it’s what I expect from Minneapolis Moonbats). Also any military veteran will be stigmatized by the Hard Left, never mind that this kook is very unlikely a veteran.
The Kos site has some very sick twisted people, if anyone remembers one KodKid who signed on to FreeRepublic, posted links to kiddie porn on FR his home page, and bragged about it on his own Kos page.
This is the deranged Hard Left we are dealing with.
someone who knows how please save this you tube...it’ll be errased to support the tea party insinuation...
Certainly exploiting a father's distraught statement for political capital is mind-boggling.
