It's a crying shame that Ms. Giffords has become just another prop in the gungrabber's dog & pony show...

Giffords went there for purely propaganda and political purposes to try to sell gun control. She was not being a noble actor. You called it, the state rep didn't want her people used as political pawns and she had every right to express that opinion, no apologies necessary. You commiecrats have no compunction about exploiting anything or anyone that will help sell your unconstitutional bull shit. So just leave the folks alone, let them heal and don't try your crap on their backs.
You sure have it ass backwards. What are you so afraid of?? If Giffords wanted to discuss gun control with them, so what??? I'm sure that was part of the reason for her visit. I never said it wasn't. I think her visit did have a dual purpose. So what???

Hey dipshit!
Does the phrase 'politicizing a tragedy' have ANY FUCKING MEANING TO YOU??
God, you people are such HYPOCRITES!!
I've thought this for a long time now. But this story really pissed me off.
Conn. politician apologizes after saying Giffords should 'stay out of my towns'
A Connecticut state representative is apologizing for a Facebook post warning Gabby Giffords to stay away, ahead of the former Arizona congresswoman's visit with Sandy Hook Elementary victims' families last week in Newtown.
"Gabby Giffords stay out of my towns," the post on the Facebook page for State Rep. DebraLee Hovey, a Republican who represents Newtown and Monroe, said last week.
In the days after, there were several blogs and opinion pieces criticizing Hovey.
On Monday, she issued an apology for the comments she posted online.
"The remarks I made regarding Congresswoman Giffords' visit were insensitive and if I offended anyone I truly apologize," Rep. Hovey said in a statement.
"My comments were meant to be protective of the privacy of the families and our community as we work to move on, and were in no way intended as an insult to Congresswoman Giffords personally. Our community has struggled greatly through this tragedy, and we are all very sensitive to the potential for this event to be exploited for political purposes. This is what I wish to avoid," she added.

What crap!!! Hovey is just afraid that the visit might influence people on the issue of gun control. Oh, but she thinks nobody gets it. What possible other reason could she have for caring about the visit?? If the families of the victims did not want to meet with Giffords and her husband they are perfectly able to say so. They did not need Hovey's help. I think Hovey only apologized because she was criticized. Idiot.

Giffords was shot not beatified. Her visit to make a grotesque point was inappropriate.
since when is representing a solution to a tragedy not a political event ? - when the NRA says to buy more guns ...
Your solution has a history of pure FAIL, what makes you think it will work THIS time?
I've thought this for a long time now. But this story really pissed me off.

Can you possibly be a bigger scumbag than to chase Gabby Giffords away from your community?
Do Republicans take lessons on how to alienate the public?

Yeah. You can easily be a bigger scumbag. You could try to use the massacre of children to rob your fellow citizens of their rights. I would think you'd know that.
