GOP in Giffords’ district holds raffle for Glock

[KBlagburn]

If this is a dupe, I apologize.
This speaks for itself. Repugs make me sick. I betcha they profess to be Christian too.


The Republican Party in Arizona's Pima County, which is represented by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), is in the midst of a fundraising raffle, $10 per entry.

The prize: the same model of gun that delivered a near-fatal blast to the Democratic lawmaker's skull outside a Tucson grocery store in January.



The winner of the gun will also receive a case, three 12-round magazines and grips for the firearm.

1. Talk about tasteless.

And more than tasteless, telegraphing the fact that they don't mind at all that Giffords got shot.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... many Republicans want to excite the fringe to violence.

2. "I have a Glock 9 millimeter and I'm a pretty good shot."--Gabrielle Giffords

Oh, and the line: "the same model of gun" is false. The raffle is for the model 23, a .40 caliber. Loughner used a model 19, a 9mm caliber.

It's the same make, not the same model.

But hey, who needs accurate facts to get in the way of outrage?

3. False equivilency is false.

I don't remember Gabrielle shooting any body. Just the simple fact of the mention of the manufacturer should have been over the top.
However, this is right wingers we're talking about.
I hope this blows up in Arizona GOP faces. Appalling actually.....

11. Same "maker" would have done it.

As in "criminal kills people with toyota corolla, therefore, all toyota cars are bad".

[Kurmudgeon]

12. At least the Glock didn't decide to operate itself, like an accelerating Toyota.

4. This ought to get the idiots lathered up.

5. I'm a proud gun owner, but this is sickening. The message is clear--

if you can't beat them, kill them.

Absolutely vile.

6. gifford's courage is undeniable, but

she should step down. there is a power vacuum there that is being filled by this sort of sick.

[gordianot]

7. One conciliation at least the GOP did not publish a picture with a target.

Picture with targets are Palin's contribution.

8. They're out of their glocking minds.

10. Filth!

13. That is wrong on so many levels.

They could raffle off many other things. They chose that?
