    This was a wonderful thing.

    It certainly was. Very few people knew it was going to happen.

    This is one Democrat that I actually liked. She was 1 out of I think 10 Democrats that DID NOT vote for Nancy Pelosi as speaker. Even Giffords knew how much of a loser Pelosi was/is.

    Matter of fact, right after Giffords voted against Pelosi is when that article came out by the Daily Kos titled: “My CongressWOMAN voted against Nancy Pelosi! And is now DEAD to me!”

    Which they tried to scrub just days later when she got shot.

    However, it wasn’t the first time that she had been literaly ‘targeted’ by Daily Kos. Back in 2008 she had a bulls eye put on her for her Blue Dog stance.

    But the only thing that played in MSM and this site was Sarah Palin, Republicans, the ‘right-wing’ and such. Nope, no mention of the left doing the same thing, even worse specifically to Giffords for being a Blue Dog, just the right.

    It’s funny how that works…. they all HATE her so much that they ‘target’ her, write articles about how she is ‘dead to me’ but it’s Sarah Palin that gets blamed somehow.

      The Daily Kos is NOT mainstream media. It is an internet national inquirer.
      This is not rocket science. Before Gabby Giffords was shot, she was a congresswoman from AZ with little national exposure. Sarah Palin was out wiggling her hindquarters at the United States since 2008. No one ‘hates’ or ‘hated’ Gabby Giffords. She had no national profile so once again you are just making up crap. If there was an article about her in Kos, shrug.

      As for Pelosi, whether you like or or don’t like her she has been very effective at marshalling some heavy duty legislation through. You don’t like her. We get it. Who cares.

    @Moon-howler
    How is he “making up crap.”?

    Its true that Kos did have a target on Giffords. Its true that some people used violent rhetoric against her. All Dan is saying is that the press has a double standard, using any reason to criticize the right while ignoring the same things on the left. That’s all.

    None of these people using the rhetoric are at fault. That lies with the shooter and the shooter alone. That’s all he was saying.

    And Daily KOS is a mainstream media now. Just like many other major blog sites. Just like AOL/Huffington Post. Kos was getting MILLIONS of hits. Mainstream cannot be limited to just TV/Radio/Print.

    Kos was parroting everything that the new media was putting out and was involved in the talking points development. Kos was a big player for a while.

      The Daily Kos is a rag. Believe what you want to believe. Stop up excuses for everything that ‘your side’ does. In the eyes of America many of them are thugs.

    @Moon-howler
    The Daily Kos IS a rag. That doesn’t stop certain leftwing politicians and media to claim it as an authority.

    What excuses are you talking about? What are we supposed to have done? And who puts that picture in the eyes of America…oh, that’s right….the allies of the left….the mainstream media. Are you saying that Gabby Gifford’s shooting is the responsibility of someone other than a schizophrenic nut job that should have been arrested prior to his assault?

    The same ones that we are talking about that have that double standard and ignores the violence on the left but trumpets every little thing that it can invent about the right or Tea Party.

      I guess I don’t see those liberal boogie men out there using the Kos to attack people. I would prefer to listen to Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow. At least they are smart.

      The tea party called attention to themselves in very negative ways. Now they have it. They eyes of the nation are upon them. I am waiting for their magic wand to work and heal the country. Still waiting for the fix.

    Anyway, back to Congresswoman Giffords, instead of Daily Kos,…..

    That was cool. She’s very tough and courageous.

    @Moon-howler
    Yeah, me too. Now if only a Tea Party agenda could be enacted, then you might see it. But, so far, the agenda of the TP has been stymied completely in Congress.

    The Tea Party called attention to themselves and the media PORTRAYED them in negative ways, using lies and falsehoods and by repeating lies, falsehoods, and propaganda.

    example…Tea Party violence. Show it to me. It keeps getting reported that the TP is violent but its only the left that is attacking people.
