Excerpt:
Giffords, 40, was raised "mixed" by a Christian Scientist mother and Jewish father, but said that after a visit to Israel in 2001, she had decided she was Jewish only. She attended services at a local Reform synagogue.
She made her Jewish identity part of her campaign:
"If you want something done, your best bet is to ask a Jewish woman to do it," said Giffords, a former state senator, said at the time. "Jewish women — by our tradition and by the way we were raised — have an ability to cut through all the reasons why something should, shouldn't or can't be done and pull people together to be successful."

Gabrielle Giffords critical after being shot in the head
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) was in critical condition after being shot in the head.
Giffords was outside one of her signature "Congress at your corner" events outside a Safeway in Tucson, the district she represented, when a gunman approached and shot her in the head.
The gunman, identified by media as Jared Lee Loughner, shot 17 people, killing six of them, including a 9-year old boy and a federal judge, John Roll. The gunman was tackled and arrested.
Doctors said Giffords was expected to survive, although it was not yet known what her condition would be.
Giffords was elected to Congress in the Democratic sweep in 2006. The first Jewish woman elected to Congress from the state, she made her Jewish identity part of her campaign.
"If you want something done, your best bet is to ask a Jewish woman to do it," said Giffords, a former state senator, said at the time. "Jewish women — by our tradition and by the way we were raised — have an ability to cut through all the reasons why something should, shouldn't or can't be done and pull people together to be successful."
Giffords, 40, was raised "mixed" by a Christian Scientist mother and Jewish father, but said that after a visit to Israel in 2001, she had decided she was Jewish only. She attended services at a local Reform synagogue.
In one of her last photos, she posed with the new U.S. House of Representatives speaker, Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) at her swearing in; her hand is on the "Five Books of Moses."
Giffords fought a hard election this year, against the national anti-incumbent, anti-Democratic mood. She tacked to the right of her party on immigration, saying border security was of primary consideration.
The election was called in her favor weeks after the vote.
Giffords' office had been vandalized in March, after she voted for health care reform. Friends said she had received threats for her positions on health care and for opposing her state's new law allowing police to arrest undocumented immigrants during routine stops.
The National Jewish Democratic Council suggested that the heated rhetoric of the last year contributed to the climate that led to the attack.
"One suspect, now in custody, may be directly responsible for this crime," the group said in a statement. "But it is fair to say -- in today's political climate, and given today's political rhetoric -- that many have contributed to the building levels of vitriol in our political discourse that have surely contributed to the atmosphere in which this event transpired."

Subject: DHS viciously smears Jared Taylor.
Obama's ministry of propaganda, aka the DHS, has viciously smeared Jared Taylor and American Renaissance with absurd allegations.
These allegations have been picked up by the left-wing media and being further embellished, exaggerated, and misrepresented.
The left-wing has aggressively promoted the slurs against Jared Taylor on facebook. The staff at CofCC.org needs your immediate help in combating this.
Please visit our online response: http://cofcc.org/2011/01/dhs-viciously-tars-jared-taylor-and-amreican-renaissance/

Thanks for your help!Jared Taylor is smeared by the radical left on a regular basis. He has also been the victim of harassment, death threats, and even physical violence from the left-wing. He has always taken the high ground and urged civility. He is a man of great class and integrity. The HuffingtonPost and other left-wing outfits are demonizing Taylor with false claims to promote their own radical left-wing agendas. They should be ashamed of themselves.
The Obama controlled DHS leaked a "memo" saying the Arizona shooter has "no direct connection," but "possibly linked to this group[American Renaissance]" and calls American Renaissance [Amren] "anti-Zog." The accusation, which is apparently based on materials on the suspect's computer, is beyond absurd. Amren receives thousands of visitors a day, and some percentage of that traffic are leftists who are simply snooping.
Several left-wing websites and left-wing columnists have intentionally misreported on the memo as if the so-called "possible link" was a fact.
What does "no direct connect," but "possibly linked to the group" actual mean? It looks like Obama's hacks running the DHS are simply trying to invent a way to blame right-wingers for the attack. The DHS memo gives left-wing reporters, columnists, and websites an opportunity to embellish, exaggerate, or outright lie about the memo to paint the right-wing as bearing responsibility for the brutal shooting; even though friends of the shooter have already told the media he was a leftist.
This is the same DHS that used the SPLC as their source for a report demonizing the TEA Party movement. The SPLC calls the American Family Association a "hate group," and says Lord of the Rings is a racist movie!
Massive factual errors in the memo show that the author is a buffoon. The same DHS memo tarring Jared Taylor and Amren also has the following statement: "Gabrielle Gifford is the first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government." What? Two of the women are the United States Supreme Court are Jewish females. There are two Jewish women who are United States Senators. The DHS author of this report is a total clown who doesn't know anything about politics or the US government.
Left-wing druggie. The shooter had at least one previous arrest that involved drugs. He was rejected by the US Army because of drug use.
Note: Amren is a publication, not a group. The "anti-Zog" slur appears to be an obscure term used by some neo-Nazi groups. Amren has never used this term in the publication's history, nor has it ever been uttered by any speakers at their conferences. In fact, this webmaster has attended two Amren conferences and met several Jewish people who are regular attendees.
But Taylor, a 1973 graduate in philosophy from Yale University, told Fox News on Sunday that he had never heard of Loughner until Saturday and has checked the group's records going back 20 years and has not found any subscriptions for Loughner to American Renaissance publications.
He added he has no indication that Loughner ever attended any of the group's events, which have been held on the East Coast where the organization is based.
Taylor also denied references to the group as being "anti-ZOG."
"That is complete nonsense," he said. "I have absolutely no idea what DHS is talking about. We have never used the term 'ZOG.' We have never thought in those terms. If this is the level of research we are getting from DHS, then heaven help us," he said.
Media did the same thing after the Columbine killings. Remember the horrific Columbine killings? The media immediately reported, and some outlets still report, that the killers were neo-Nazis. One of the killers was Jewish. Both of the killers wore makeup to school and flaunted their homosexuality by holding hands. One of the killers had a website in which he declared his hatred of "racist people." The killers listen to radical left-wing music. The date of the shooting spree was chosen based on the day that a favorite left-wing rock band was officially breaking up. Yet, to this day, the "mainstream" media is hiding all these facts from the public.
Politically motivated violence in the United States is overwhelming committed by the left.
1. Paul J. Balles: Weapons of mass deception; TIME TO TURN TO ALTERNATIVE MEDIA
For me, as a journalist, the web offers the most interesting and often most reliable sources because they are shorn of the consensual bias, and a censorship by omission, that pervades broadcasting.—John Pilger
Today, increasing numbers of people have become fed up with lies, omissions and cover-ups by both governments and the mainstream media.
One reason for the current interest in WikiLeaks is the fascination of confidential and embarrassing secrets exposed.
What constitutes the mainstream media? Twenty years ago several journalists expressed concern that the number of major news sources in America had diminished to fifty.
Today, conglomerates have bought up most of those news sources; and the number of major news sources has been reduced to six! These six control all the news reported in America and much of what gets reported in the UK and Europe.
Rupert Murdoch, one of the world's biggest media moguls, owns outlets in Australia (The Mirror), England (News of the World, Sun and the Times, BSkyB), Asia (Star TV) and the USA (20th C. Fox and Fox TV).
2. Rand, Israel & Greenspan (a must watch video)
Ayn Rand was born Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1905.
Rand became influential in America in the 1950's. As it happens, Alan Greenspan, the man who managed to dismantle America's economy was one of her followers. Greenspan began his association with the famed novelist and philosopher in the 1950's. It lasted until her death in 1982. Rand stood beside Greenspan at his 1974 swearing-in as Chair of the Council Of Economic Advisers.
