Poor Sarah Palin. She always makes herself out to be the victim of the “lamestream media.” But here, she is the victim of her own stupidly chosen words. She says that she has been “blood libeled.” A very poor choice of words in view of the blood spilled and that the phrase refers to intolerance towards Jews. (Ms. Giffords is Jewish.) Palin simply cannot pull herself off the stage of her own self aggrandizement long enough to quietly reflect on what has happened in Tucson. The political hate speech that she and others of her ilk constantly spew out creates a certain acceptance for over-the-top loaded gun rhetoric that has unduly inflamed the right wing fringe, the gun nuts, the Second Amendment radicals who want to make revolution by attacking our government and our leaders. Is there a link to her in this massacre? Think of it this way. Pornography does not cause rape, but is does show people who the victims are supposed to be. Sarah Palin is a participant in the right winged violent rhetorical scapegoating that openly encourages the identification of government as bad, and the people who work for the government as easy targets. That she has not apologized and offered her condolences to the victims for her bad judgment on this shows that the woman who is apparently without ethics is also without any moral decency.

Apparently, when you don’t spend much time in school studying, when admit you don’t read newspapers or books very much, when you go to 4 different colleges to finish one degree, one can not have a basic base of information to rely upon when making decisions. This is only explaination for not knowing what blood libel is about and using it in any context when talking about a jewish person who has recently been shot.
How completley stupid can an 1/2 governor be? Does she not know that the Nazi’s used this term to justify rounding up the jews. OMG what a moron!
Also, with all the resources she has, you would think one person on her staff would of been bright enough to know that when you denounce finger pointing, you usually dont finger point (and blame the media) in the following paragraph.
She quit on the people of Alaska to go make money! I think most Ameican’s don’t quit. We fulfill our oaths. We dont give up. She is a phoney and now we all see how dumb she is.
I thought it was one of her best speaches ever. Straight from the heart. Standing up for what she believes. Aggressive, strong, and knowledgeable of the Constitution: as in, When we talk about arming ourselves, we’re talking about voting. Or some such. And so presidential. Definitely one of her best. Really showed what kind of American she is and who she thinks her followers to be. But why aren’t they here now?
Politically speaking.
Until I looked again and saw the word “snark”, my blood pressure was about 780. Holy cross-hairs, Batman.
