On January 8 2011, a criminal named Jared Loughner opened fire on a crowd outside a Safeway grocery store in Tucson, Arizona. As a result, six people were killed and many others injured: among them, U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ).
What happened that day was a crime and a tragedy. And while it reminded sensible, salt-of-the-earth Americans of the need to arm ourselves to protect our families from criminals like Loughner, it has taught the left nothing. This is demonstrated by the fact that they have spent the months since January calling for more gun control while also doing their best to spare Loughner from prosecution because of his mental state.
Moreover, from the moment the shooting happened till now, they have continued to blame it on Sarah Palin. (I have no doubt they would also be blaming Charlton Heston, were he not already in heaven where their machinations cannot harm him.)
But as it is, wimpy leftists like Piers Morgan are still trying to demonstrate that Palin had some culpability in Giffords’ shooting because she had marked certain congressional races with crosshairs on a map to show tea partiers which races needed to be focused on. (To my knowledge, Morgan has yet to say anything about the fact the left was targeting certain conservative congressional districts with bulls-eyes at the same time that Palin was using crosshairs.)
As a matter of fact, just this week—over 11 months since Giffords was shot—Morgan wasted another entire segment of his unwatched show expressing outrage over the fact that Palin has yet to apologize for the fact that Giffords was shot.
(VIDEO AT LINK)
Talking to Giffords’ husband, Mark Kelly (who is doing his shameful best to sell books in the wake of his wife’s shooting), Morgan said:
"In her haste to take no responsibility, [Palin] didn’t even bother to pick the phone up, to write, to do anything. I find that extraordinary."
Since when is Palin obligated to call members of congress who face some extraordinary hardship? Even the hint that should she have called demonstrates just how divorced from reality Morgan really is.
By the way, is there any chance Morgan will demand that Jimmy Hoffa Jr. call Republicans and apologize to them once his union thugs “take [those] sons of bitches out”? Or more specifically, would he at least condemn the comedian Titus for saying he’s going to camp out on a “grassy knoll … loaded and ready,” to take Palin out for the sake of his country?
Folks, Morgan has less than ¼ of Sean Hannity’s viewers for a reason (less than 1/20 of Rush Limbaugh’s listeners). But that is no excuse for continuing this ridiculous campaign against Palin.
And Mark Kelly, Giffords’ husband, ought to be ashamed of himself for playing along with Morgan.

This dirt bag Morgan is involved in the phone hacking scandal in Briton and he was also fired for publishing fake soldier abuse pics in the Daily Mirror. This guy hasn’t apologized for any of it. He is the scum of the Earth and a no talent hack.
Piers Morgan whoring it up for the paycheck.
It is helpful when posting a message of that type to include the link.
Thanks.
2ndDivisionVet, your post is correct.
Free Republic readers do like to see articles about the same subject from different perspectives.
I am amazed that Piers Morgan has not apologized for sounding stupid while talking. However, that would require a certain degree of self-awareness.
But then, not all that much of America is watching.
Apologizing would be an admission of guilt, and she is guilty of nothing, therefore no apology will be forthcoming. Morgan lives in a fantasy world of his own construction.
I’m enjoying it more and more that Jeremy Clarkson punched Morgan. Can we get him to do it again?
Do not know who this clown is, but very evident he is of no consequence................
I missed that bit of Clarkson. Good for him. Clarkson for PM!
I would be surprised if anyone has called Palin to apologize to her for smearing her name and dragging her into something that has nothing to do with her.
No need to call since she had NOTHING to do with it.
If she did, that slime ball would of taped it then proclaim her responsible since calling is “admission” of guilt in their world.
What progressive leader needs a bidet when you have Piers Morgan.
Did he really!? Was it captured on video?
I can honestly say that I never liked Piers Morgan.
What is he doing here, and when is he going back to England where he belongs?
Wondering if Morgan’s mother ever apologized TO THE WORLD!!!
I am just as amazed with Piers that Sarah Palin stopped beating her husband.
