Get ready for the spin folks.

1. KOLD reporter...

said she told him she was liberal but "don't tell anybody".

[bluestateguy]

2. I believe she is pro-choice on abortion

Maybe opposed to funding of abortions by the government (which 70% of people share that position), but otherwise for choice.

[Hello_Kitty]

9. Gabby is pro-choice. She has excellent ratings by PP, NARAL, and Emily's List. eom

[SheilaT]

3. I don't care if she was absolutely the worst

member of Congress ever. As unhappy as I am over the 2010 election results, I don't think murdering elected officials we don't agree with is a solution.

[Hosnon]

6. Agreed. We're supposed to be more mature than this. nt

[cynatnite]

4. She is 100% pro-choice...NARAL gave her that rating. n/t

[Xenotime]

5. It's time to take the guns away.

[Statistical]

13. It is never time to take away Constitutional rights. Never.

Thankfully most Americans disagree with you.

18. Except, of course, from government employees who wear uniforms

7. Now they are claiming it was a radical from DailyKos

Breaking: Did a Radical Daily Kos Reader try to Assassinate Rep. Giffords?

In the shot term, with few answers out there, the major question arises: who shot Representative Giffords and why? One startling possibility: an angry Daily Kos reader named "BoyBlue" may be behind the shooting.

In a diary written just two days ago, BoyBlue wrote a diary exclaiming that Rep. Giffords was "DEAD to me!" The headline was followed by a rambling diary that contained a passage in which BoyBlue stated that he "shot in the mouth in a serious suicide attempt" after his same-sex partner left him.

BoyBlue then went on a diatribe against Giffords, writing (with language cleaned up):

"Today, just a little while ago, I saw on Andrea Mitchell Reports (out of the one eye in can still see out of) that Giffords voted AGAINST Nancy Pelosi as our Minority Leader. Rhetorical question: I fought back from my condition and jumped in with both feet to help Gabrielle Giffords for THIS s**t???"

8. You did a search?

The dude is on the front page in the rec list!

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/1/9/934674/-My-Apologies-to-This-Site,-The-Victims,-and-Rep.-Gabrielle-Giffords

A taste:

1 i fully apologize to all the victims in this shooting, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, for my poor choice of words in that diary.
2 i fully and respectfully apologize to this blog and to Markos himself for the bad publicity amongst the right wing this has caused, including the NYT.
3 i apologize to the DailyKos membership and readership for being maligned by the far right blogs.

And...

However, I HAVE to offer a heartfelt "fuck you" to the right wing blogs AND the New York Times' Matt Bai, for even mentioning my username here in ANY connection to that unspeakable and unthinkable horror.

Perhaps he might offer a similar "fuck you" extends to those few at DU who did the same?

Oh, one more...

i was the person who deleted MY diary of three days ago, under NO pressure from anyone at DailyKos. It was certainly NOT "scrubbed" by the site's moderators of Markos. I chose to delete it because i thought it being in existence after the horrific event on Saturday was in poor taste.

Love how the RW-sourced revisionsist memes get woven into discussions at DU.

10. The things I saw insinuated he was the killer. I did the search

and his username didn't return a positive. I figured the story was the usual right wing BS. Anyway the "dead to me" is used in the same fashion as "persona non grata." I don't see it
as a death threat, I see it as a rejection, a shunning.

[Gold Metal Flake]

11. But I had to do the follow up.

Should have done it yourself.

[alfredo]

14. I was in and out of the house.

[Gold Metal Flake]

15. OK. I just wanted to get the rest of the story out.

Sorry about the finger-shaking.

[alfredo]

16. Usually a stiff drink takes care of that.

;)

[NoGOPZone]

12. How conservative a Democrat is didn't matter to them when they called Gary Condit a murderer nt.

[gatorboy]

17. "She's one of us!"

Yeah... That's why they fought so hard against her during last election.. Tough love!

[Rex]

19. Maybe when she was a republican she believed those thing dunno.

From what I've read she was the opposite of what the article says.
