NJ Tea Party Coaltion Condemns Arizona Shooting

 

 

“This morning, in an unspeakable tragedy, a number of Americans were shot in Tucson, Arizona, at a constituent meeting with Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords… We do not yet have all the answers. What we do know is that such a senseless and terrible act of violence has no place in a free society. I ask all Americans to join me and Michelle in keeping Representative Giffords, the victims of this tragedy, and their families in our prayers.

“I am horrified by the senseless attack on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and members of her staff.  An attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve.  Acts and threats of violence against public officials have no place in our society.  Our prayers are with Congresswoman Giffords, her staff, all who were injured, and their families.  This is a sad day for our country.”

– Speaker of the House, John Boehner

 

The NJ Tea Party Coalition joins with all peace loving Americans who condemn violence. Please pray for all who were hurt in today’s shooting, their families and their loved ones.

 

 

In Liberty,

NJ Tea Party Coalition

    So, a Communist, anarchist schizophrenic
    shoots someone, he who praises Mein Kampf and Marxism, and the Tea Party
    feels the need to apologize, cow-tow, and
    otherwise fuel the leftist fires.
    I am embarrased at the cowardice on display
    as we fall all over ourselves to apologize
    for the actions of a deranged leftist.
    There is no need to defend ourselves to
    the pin headed left–PERIOD

    While I appreciate everyone is heartbroken over the death and injury of innocent human beings, I feel myself wondering why all the Tea Parties are making public statements “denouncing” and “condemning” the actions of some lunatic. Are we giving in to the demands of the left that we take responsibility for any deranged white person that commits a crime? What other group other than Conservatives, does the left insist denounce and comdemn for crimes committed? My heart goes out to ALL that were killed and injured, and their families. Especially, the child who is truly innocent. The dignitaries put themselves in danger as public officials every day. I will not, however, defend or apologize for the actions of any extremist group or individual as a Tea Party American. I am an American citizen who happens to be part of a movement that condemns the taking of our liberties and freedom. How can you let the left dictate that you make statements in regard to this tragedy and cowardly, horrible act? I cannot speak on behalf of the whole Tea Party Group that I represent, but speaking on behalf of myself, I am not going to defend, condemn, denounce or anything else regarding this action. Obviously, as a human being I am horrified by the events, but to feel that I have to publicly defend the Tea Party for this….not happening.

    Ms. Gonzalez, Your not being asked to defend any person or organization. What transpired in Arizona was criminally and morally wrong.

    For someone so “horrified,” all you have to do is call it for what it is: WRONG and REPREHENSIBLE-period!
