SIERRA VISTA —  Sometime early Monday morning, the glass front door to Democratic U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ Tucson office was shattered in what her press secretary is calling a “an act of political vandalism.”

The timing of the event, only hours after Giffords supported the Democratic-backed health care reform package, leads C.J. Karamargin to connect the vote to the act, in which someone apparently fired a pellet gun at the glass.

Politics can sometimes get ugly. Nothing was solved by that action.

You got to hand it to IM4Truth! It’s people like him that has proven Joe
McCarthy was right!!!! Keep up the good work IM4Truth ;) Without people like
you, the rest of us would have to speculate you’re an anti-American/Pro
Communist. No need for pro-Americans to speculate anymore ;)

Equal justice! Someone shot out Cantors office too! Now that is really funny!
www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20001168-503544.html What was he thinking
voting against the majority? He should have respected the people’s vote and
voted for progress! What a fool just like mcshame. I guess they will have to
learn when they are voted out of office! The CNN poll shows the majority of
people favoring the Dems as a result of the passage of progress.

Title: Hypocrite

As wildfire already pointed out, everyone can see your naked hypocrisy. It is
so wrong when someone vandalizes Giffords Office yet, it is magically ok,
even funny, when someone vandalizes an office of someone who disagrees with
her. Now, I thought that disagreement is covered by the freedom of speech,
but you seem to think that freedom of speech only applies when one agrees
with you or the current administration. Your consideration of crimes like
Rape as a non-crime is simply because it plays into statistics that the pro
gun crowd can use, proves that you hold your political beliefs higher than
other people’s well being. We are to believe you have others best intention
in mind when you go on your tirades about health care. You, like the
government, have no idea how its going to be paid for. You cant answer the
most basic of questions, Like if its so great why did our leaders exempt
themselves from it? Instead you go back on your tirades or use copy/paste on
sources you didn’t read

This is going to be a fun summer for politics. The silent majority of
citizens in this great country of ours have finally realized that elections
matter. I thank Obama and his left-wing zealots for that. Most of us believe
it is not too late to take back our country and support the Constitution of
the United States. And what will make this a really fun, hot summer of
politics is when people like “IM4TRUTH” start to have their bubbles of
subject reality punctured and learn that the “majority” they have been hyping
is only a mirage. It will be painful for them, you will hear the main-stream
media screaming and putting a spin on it all. But it will be fun and exciting
to see the average, hard-working American stand up for what is right.

Title: really sad

What is really sad about you is that you …screamed bloody murder when it
was …Giffords office that got vandalized but yet when it happens to a
Patriot like Cantor then you think it is funny. …

your affiliated or opinion. There is no justice here..stop supporting
violence ..very disgraceful.

Title: A trick?

Was the busting out of Giiffords’ glass a democratic trick to incite
democrats at republicans? The reason I say that is just as Rep. Wilson says
he got called racial slurs on the night of the health bill vote and the Tea
Party folks were demonstrating in DC. Why did no one else hear these slurs?
Or did only Rep. Wilson hear them while experiencing schizophrenic
consequences? How timely these things are. Then again, it could have been
done by a nutcase because of the anger on the health care bill.

Title: Broken glass

I can’t tell you how many times I got in trouble for shooting my pellet gun
and breaking windows when I was young or how many times my boys got whippings
for doing the same. I also don’t remember any political motivation behind my
acts or theirs. Haven’t you heard of coincidence. I think it is time Ms
Giffords office help stop trying to politicize a random act of vandalism. I
would be willing to bet it wasn’t the only window or glass door broke in
Tucson Saturday night.
