Awful… Astronaut Mark Kelly & Piers Morgan Slander Sarah Palin – Blame Her for Tucson Shootings by Crazed Bush-Hating Leftist (Updated)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, November 24, 2011, 5:49 PM
Thanks to the corrupt left-wing media, one in three Americans (35%) believed that Sarah Palin was responsible for the shootings in Tucson by an anti-Christian, anti-Constitution, left-wing, pro-Marx, anti-flag, “quite liberal,” lunatic who hated Bush.
After the mass slaughter in Tucson in January the Democrat-media complex immediately plotted to blame the shootings on the tea party and Sarah Palin.
Months later these shameless, irresponsible individuals are still trying to blame Sarah Palin.
Last night former astronaut Mark Kelly and Piers Morgan slandered Sarah Palin and blamed her for the Tucson shootings by the crazed Bush-hating leftist.
The two men owe Sarah Palin an apology.
The Daily Mail reported:
Mark Kelly has spoken candidly about the moment he learned his wife, Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords, was shot at a voting event in Tuscon – and his disappointment at not having been contacted by Sarah Palin following the tragedy.
In a guest appearance on last night’s CNN Piers Morgan Tonight show, the husband and father berated Ms Palin’s irresponsibility, while Mr Morgan said he found her lack of contact ‘extraordinary.’
Recalling the horrific moments he learned of the fatal shooting in January – and the ensuing misinformation that led him to believe his wife had been killed – the co-author of Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope revealed that he believed his wife’s strength saved her.
But it was the lack of any contact from former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin that was ‘surprising’ said Mr Kelly.
Citing the book, Mr Morgan said that it revealed some ‘interesting insights’ into ‘political colleagues and people that [Gabby Giffords] had worked for and against.’
Speaking about a map for which Palin was responsible, with crosshairs over certain states including Arizona, Mr Morgan said that the Alaskan ‘doesn’t come out of this very well, I don’t think, because there was a woman who at the time had been putting these crosshair things on her website and stuff, including Gabby,’ he said.
After learning that Ms Giffords, 41, and Mr Kelly, ‘were never contacted’ by Ms Palin following the fatal shooting, Mr Morgan is incredulous.
‘In her haste to take no responsibility, [she] didn’t even bother to pick the phone up, to write, to do anything.
‘I find that extraordinary,’ he said.
Mr Kelly, 47, agrees: ‘Yeah, I was surprised too. You know, certainly the targets that she put over Gabby’s and other people’s districts, in our opinion, was not the right thing to do. She is not the first person to do that. And it hasn’t always been Republicans that have done that.’
For the record… A year before Sarah Palin was a household name, in 2007, and three years before the infamous ‘targets’ image was posted on Facebook, Loughner had met Giffords at a rally and was obsessed with her.
UPDATE: Guess who was calling Gabby Giffords a whore?

What a lying arrogant selfish piece of cr@p cashing in on his wife’s tragedy.
The way he is profitting off his wife’s injuries, makes me wonder why he finds no fault with the Dipstick Sherrif and his role in the shooting. Maybe he needs Dipstick ‘s help, when he runs for his wife’s seat .
Kelly will make a good Democrat.
Burn in hell Kelly while you are still alive.
( Anyone else find the coincidences betwen Gabby’s shooting and Benazir’s assasination …coincidental ?)

That’s unbelievable! Sarah Palin had absolutely nothing to do with this. If she had called, they’d be ripping on her for getting involved. Sarah should call out CNN and demand an apology.

Is that woman Gabby so important that everyone in the world has to call her whenever anything happens to her ? Get over it Kelly. As your fellow legend Maxipads says : that is life.
Pimping his wife to take her seat methinks

SurlyMonk commented:
Although Ms Palin may not have contacted them personally, she make a public statement on Facebook and it was printed elsewhere if I’m not mistaken. As for the targeting of people, I think that was a practice begun by the Democrats demonstrated, or proven, on other web sites.
Terry in GA commented:
Well I wonder if they immediately thought of the fact Gabby had JUST VOTED AGAINST Madame Botox for Minority Leader, too, and the possible ramifications thereof!!!!!
Now that is not to say that all people with differing opinions from Gabby are crazed lunatics, but Sarah was not alone in her disapproval of Gabby’s vote in favor of Obamacare. As it turns out, the apparent cause of the shooter’s discontent was totally unrelated to the many who oppose Obamacare and Gabby’s vote for the monstrosity.
Thank God for HIS protections and healing graces with regard to Gabby. Truly, this has been an inspiring recovery and will continue to inspire. But deflecting blame from the guilty party onto another who is innocent is irresponsible, spiteful, distasteful and childish. Grow up, Mr. Kelly and Mr. Morgan.

Hey Mark Kelly, why don’t you get on a ship and fly off to space? Bald headed jerk.
This is what liberals do….they have absolutely no shame. They use a tragedy to take shots at people who have different opinions.
Why would Palin contact Giffords? Why? Palin was only connected to Giffords because the media connected her and blamed her….exactly what Giffords’ idiot husband is doing now.
Go away Kelly…Go tend to your wife…She needs you with her more than the public needs to see you.

SM-AZ commented:
Just a Dem hack trying to profit off ANYTHING including his own wife’s tragedy to make a buck. Besides being really ugly—he’s immoral and stupid. And, both he and his wife raking it in from the rest of us. God bless Sarah Palin! May the Lord be with her to keep up her courage, strength and leadership—-in the face of such evil and lies perpetrated against her.
BridgetGB commented:
It goes w/o saying that this crap about a phone call is just a Dem narrative tactic. Such whores. Yet, their faux disappointment leads to a separate issue … the glorification of an elected official. This incident is tragic on many levels but Giffords did survive and fellow citizens including a child did not. Is Giffords somehow more important? I think not. Be thankful for your wife’s recovery and stop whoring yourself in public in a low life attempt to personally attack Sarah Palin.
Bob Z commented:
someone needs to tell these two that Palin isn’t running for president. It should be “Newt didn’t call” or “Mitt didn’t call”
a former dem commented:
what an idiot. His true colors are coming out.
Stunning, he never mentions the other innocent victims who lost their lives or were hurt. Is he on his book tour? I see him all over TV now. Sad to see him use this whole tragedy to promote his book.
Must not be a smart astronaut. Sounds like a pretty dumb man.
Mark Adams commented:
Who noticed Kelly was right in the middle of saying “it just wasn’t republicans either who did that” and then Morgan cut him off. Pretty blatant.
a former dem commented:
I really liked the man, its just so sad to see this promotion of his book and go after people who had nothing to do with this tragedy, the person solely responsible is in jail.
the other victims, there was absolutely no mention of them, the little girl who is gone, no mention of her either. They never mention these poor victims or the ones who were hurt at anytime, I wish they did, I’d like to see a story on how they are recovering and doing
As for Mr. Kelly, I’ve lost all respect for this man, his attack on Palin was sad and disgusting to listen to. I doubt he will sell many books, I was planning on buying one, but not after this interview, I’ll just donate some money to one of the funds that was created in the memory of the innocents lost on that tragic day.

this bit was posted 11/15 and i wondered at the time if he was just being sensitive or if there was some political value to be milked. when i was watching some of her interview i wondered if giffords would ever be cleared to return. boehner’s office had a response. i heard kelly praise George Bush…

Let’s not forget that Gabby Goo voted for the Obummers health care and she is one of them, glad she did not die but God still needs to deal with her lies and deceit of what she did while in Washington. Just one of the hacks that should be kicked outl.
MrGoodWench commented:
So Kelly, did you ever call Agent Brian Terry’s family ?
Why ??
donh commented:
John McCain, John Glenn, Rick Perry, Mark Kelly. Something must dissolve the brain when you fly up into that O Zone. This is a dispicable man. Didn’t cancel his space mission to be with his ailing wife. Keeps pushing for his mentally incapacitated wife to stay in office despite severe brain damage because her autopen must sign earmarks funding his pet projects.
Plays a partisian blame game that shows more contempt for Palin than the actual criminal who shot his wife. A REAL man would be at the prison every day begging inmates to snuff out Loughner in return for helping family on the outside.
kato commented:
Does this classless spaceboy believe that Obama’s phone call was sincere, and not just a bit of obligatory political theater? Unless Palin knew these people personally, I can’t imagine why this dope would have expected a phone call from her. Perhaps all that time in near-zero gravity messed up his brains.
Zilla commented:
What douche bag jackasses. WHY should Sarah Palin apologize for something a LEFT WING lunatic did?
Also, has Obama ever apologized to Brian Terry’s family? Because that horrible tragedy IS his fault! I know Holder sent a note to THE MEDIA before Terry’s family, and even then it was only after he was shamed into doing it after refusing to apologize before and acknowledging that it never occurred to him to do so.
Liberal hypocrites, they can all go to hell.

Viv commented:
In 2004 Piers Morgan was sacked from his job as editor of the Daily Mirror (leftist tabliod rag) for publishing fake photos of supposed British soldiers abusing an Iraqi claiming they were genuine. It would have been obvious to anyone but an idiot that the photos were fake but Morgan’s hatred of the war and the army blinded the judgement he should have shown in publishing the images. The photographs did great damage to the troops serving in Iraq at that time. To this day the vile dirtbag Morgan has refused to apologise.
Leatherhelmet commented:
I have zero respect for Kelly now. Morgan is a leftist hack from way back.
decentAmerican commented:
I saw Kelly at a function not too long ago where he gave a fairly inspirational lecture, non-political, i thought he was above all the politics, he is an astronaut, after all. I actually considered him a hero, and stood up for the standing ovation at the end.
AND NOW THIS.
His true colors show. Hey, Kelly, so what if Sarah didn’t call you! she had nothing to do with this crime, why would she need to call you? Did Henry Kissinger call you? Did Barry Manilow call you? Did Gloria Steinem call you? those people have more to do with the shooting than Sarah Palin! You rotten piece of slime ball liberal, how dare you! And to think that for a wasted few minutes of my life, I considered you a hero! And you go around making false accusations against good Americans like Sarah. And Piers Morgan is a similar piece of dirt.
Go to hell Mark Kelly, go back up in space and stay there, I hate you hypocrite and liar liberals!
MrGoodWench commented:
Hey Kelly , did Loughner’s parents call you ?
Why ?
newmike commented:
what did Palin need to contact her? What did a Bush hating liberal shooting a woman he had an obsession on have to do with Sarah Palin?
Instead of placing blame on someone that had nothing to do with it, try blaming the guy promising to take a gun to a knife fight and to get in people’s faces.
mcc commented:
I blame Piers more than Kelly. He made some feeble attempts to be fair. But not enough, obviously.
The point, clearly though, was to blame Palin not only for the injury to his wife, but for not calling to express – what? – her sorrow that she’d caused it all? Outrageous.
But since they feel the need to point fingers beyond the nutcase…
Why didn’t Piers question Kelly about some strangely coincidental events right before the shooting – and particularly about the judge who was killed and whose security detail had been discontinued just prior to this? He’d recently preliminarily ruled against an Obama Executive Order:

No. Piers should be curious about the truly vile people friendly with a certain White House occupant – all for whom some lives aren’t valued – and leave the innocent alone.
MrGoodWench commented:
Ofcourse the vile jerk took his wife campaigning today :

And, as I recall, Giffords and her ‘husband’ were estranged – pending a divorce – at the time of the shooting.
Isn’t it funny how a book deal, the possibility of a congressional run, TV appearences and pots of money seem to have “rekindled” his ‘love’ for her?
Jus’ sayin’.

Frankly I am sick and tired of hearing about Gabby Giffords!! A good a decent man was killed in that same shooting but NOBODY gives a crap about him cuz he’s a conservative.

This whole episode has been set up to scotch the 2nd Amendment. Plus Fast and furious. But the whole thing went awry when no American would believe the Lefties scheme that it was the “Right’s” fault. But now they are back to try again.
Sen Feinstein, watch her. She had a lot to say before too.
. Two or three jobs for the regime. Healthcare jail to really shaft the citizens and control us all, Caliphate in Mid-East, and the cancelling of the 2nd amendment. that leads to one World Order.

So Kelly is a flaming liberal AH which means we need have no more sympathy for his wife. He’s using her so we can ignore her and make sure she doesn’t return to congress. Since he’s and idiot we can call her one to.

Yes, the both of these, for a lack of a better word, men, should apologize to Sarah Palin. Both are pathetic losers. Seems he spoke more high of Loughner. “He needs help” right back at ya, Mr. Kelly.
Your wife was shot by an insane person. His home life was horrible. Many sides and many people knew he was disturbed. His actions had nothing to do with Target Map or Sarah Palin.
He was sick and to insinuate anymore is complete and utter nonsense. May give you a thrill up you leg to be sitting with Morgan, seems from what I see you and he are two of the most egotistical individuals on T.V.
Good try trying to blame Sarah, she is one of the most honest and caring people you will ever know but it is for sure you haven’t know many.
Seems this accident didn’t bring you closer to kindness for others. Shameful.
Patty commented:
I cannot wait for our next president to be like Bush. Or better yet, reganess like Sarah.
And I can only pray that it will be a cold day in H%$# before we see another democratic president, especially as liberal and socialized as the one we have.
Patty commented:
By the way, I regret what happen to her and all the others. The little girl who wanted to be in politics. She was a sweet little girl. All the victims and their families.
But this utter nonsense of blaming others for this is one of the most outrageous comments any person can make and it makes them small and insignificant. It truly does.
regularguy commented:
As a constituent of Ms. Giffords, I wish her a complete and speedy recovery. I really do.
However, I have not had a US representative now for 11 months, and, like anyone else, I am entitled to one. I did not vote for her then, and I resent that she voted for Obamacare and Cap and Tax. I will not vote for her EVER.
ladyruth54 commented:
Yeah, and he also slammed John Boehner for not visiting Gabby in the hospital when he went to Houston for something. He is just politicizing the whole tragedy.

“However, I have not had a US representative now for 11 months, and..” and that’s the issue. her recovery prospects were made to look better during the interview with her but
an opinion i heard was that beyond a certain point there isn’t much significant recovery. given from where she started just being alive is a miracle. sometimes our expectations are nothing more than just wishful thinking. kelly could ride the coat tails of the tragedy into the senate…..shades of niki tsongas. giffords is not a blue dog democrat.

easier to blame Palin than the mental health community who allowed him to slip through the cracks.

Darklady commented:
Poor, poor eternal victim, Sarah Palin. How dare a man whose wife nearly died and can barely speak after being shot in the brain mention that his wife had been in the cross hairs of a political campaign ad and that it had rattled her.
Of course, it’s not that horrible, selfish, evil woman and her equally despicable husband are to be sympathized with. No, it’s Sarah Palin, whose Thanksgiving greeting was all about how mean people are to her and the special needs child she neglects.
Kelly is not accusing Palin of causing this unstable man to shoot his wife, but he is pointing out that the cross hairs spooked them — and that his wife was later shot in the head and several people died.
Coincidence? It would appear so. But I challenge any of you to honestly say it wouldn’t have crossed your mind while looking at the carnage that was left and how Palin immediately recorded a self-defense that showed next to no concern for those who were killed or injured.
As usual, Palin’s concern was all about herself. I don’t think a phone call would have been too much for her to have shoehorned into her busy money-making schedule… and it would have done much for her reputation among those of us who have no respect for her.
The GOP confuses me these days. It claims to be the party of responsibility, but its members seem to never accept responsibility for anything. Not even scaring someone and showing some regret when some nut hurts the person they scared. And the attack-dog mentality of the posters here is really something to wonder at. Talk about politicizing the issue! It’s not like Gabby got a hangnail and the Speaker of the House didn’t visit while he was in town! Kelly has a right to be disappointed in these people… and in you guys.
