The Gabby Giffords Gun Raffle Debacle

Somehow, the outrage I expected over the poor taste vis a vis the gun target looming over U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords’ district in light of the life-threatening injuries she received during a shooting never reached the heights I expected.  I mean, people shook their heads in disgust, yeah, but there was no real freak out.

Which is why I’ve been hesitant to get into the most recent insensitive action by Arizona’s Republicans.

From BigJournalism.com:

La Raza, MALDEF, MEChA, and all the rest of the shameless open-borders crowd should be quaking in their collectivist sandals. A fiery, well-spoken, and very wise Latina says that Arizona has the right to “protect our state from foreign invasion.”

In this YouTube video, Gabriela, who became a U.S. citizen in 1991, delivers a riveting defense of American sovereignty and SB 1070 (Paging Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano. She’s read the bill! She brings copies to the meeting!) to Mayor Bob Walkup and the Tucson City Council during the public comment portion of a meeting.

“The lack of support, from you, our elected officials, regarding this law is shameful!” scolds Gabby, as she takes a shot at her boycott-supporting congressman, Raul Grijalva, and her anti-rule-of-law city councilwoman, Regina Romero.

What do you think?  I think this woman is amazing!
