The nerve of this GOP'er calling Gabby Giffords ‘Childish’

Seriously?!

While Ms. Giffords certainly has my sympathy for the violence she suffered, it should be noted that being shot in the head by a lunatic does not give one any special grace to pronounce upon public-policy questions. Nor does it give one moral license to call people ‘cowards’ for holding public-policy views at variance with one’s own. Her childish display in the New York Times is an embarrassment.

spew shit like this all the time.
They've managed to turn the victims of gun violence who are trying to change things, into "those who shall be mocked".

The worst are the comments on the YouTube of the Sandy Hook parents.

Her JOB was to "pronounce on public policy questions."

This guy is beyond stupid...he's the embarrassment...
