A year ago this month, in a shopping mall in Tucson, Arizona, a shocking and tragic massacre occurred that took the lives of six people and wounded 13 others, including U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Giffords was shot in the head and has been fighting courageously to restore her health. She has been making what doctors and friends say is remarkable progress.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, today she announced that she will be resigning her seat in congress in order to concentrate on her recovery. It is an understandable and unselfish decision that balances the needs of her constituents and her medical care.<\/p>\n

Sadly, some people, upon hearing this news, have a distinctly different reaction:<\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/center>
\n<\/p>\n

That grotesque comment hardly needs any embellishment. I want to note that there were many comments that criticized this commenter and wished Giffords a speedy recovery. However, this is not the only comment of its kind and it isn’t the first time this has occurred. There were incidents where the Fox Nationalists advocated killing George Soros<\/a>. Then there were the times that they called for Obama’s assassination<\/a>. Last year Bill O’Reilly interviewed President Obama on the day of the Super Bowl. A commenter on that article<\/a> said this:<\/p>\n

\"coinguy\"<\/center>
\n<\/p>\n

As I said at the time, Bill O’Reilly is one of the biggest critics of hostile comments on blogs. He went so far as to say that Marcos Moulitsas (of DailyKos) and Arianna Huffington (of the Huffington Post) are as bad as Nazis because he found some objectionable comments on their sites. Somehow I don’t expect him to be similarly outraged by these cretins’ comments. But the frequency and predictability of these sentiments is appalling and disgraceful and should not go unnoticed.<\/p>\n

Best wishes for a fast and full recovery, Gabby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
