However - personally I'd say she shouldn't have appeared as she visibly remains unwell. It was inevitable there would be RW attacks / adverse comments on her appearance.

I think she looks great and sounded terrific. Yeah, she has speech and motor control issues. So what? So she should be locked away? Screw that. She's an inspiration to everyone. If the teabagger haters go off on her, that just makes her look more righteous.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Giffords are very close friends. So I would assume that WS asked Gabby how, if at all, she wanted to participate in the DNC and this was Giffords idea. I think WS is very protective of her friend but did what she could to accommodate Giffords wishes and desires.

But if the second hand reports are true then the so-called "religious" right are indeed showing their true religion - hatred, lack of compassion, meanness, etc.
