Sarah Palin's defensive and deflective illogical rant

TPM: Sarah Palin Accuses Journalists Of 'Blood Libel,' Calls Loughner 'Apolitical' (VIDEO)

<...>

"There are those who claim political rhetoric is to blame for the despicable act of this deranged, apparently apolitical criminal. And they claim political debate has somehow gotten more heated just recently," Palin wrote on Facebook. "But when was it less heated? Back in those 'calm days' when political figures literally settled their differences with dueling pistols?"

<...>

Her claim that he is "apparently apolitical" is clearly BS: How often does an apolitical person's comment include a reference to a political district?

TPM:

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC): "You know, Sarah Palin just can't seem to get it, on any front. I think she's an attractive person, she is articulate. But I think intellectually, she seems not to be able to understand what's going on here."

Edited for clarity.

1. Not a bad political speech

but that all it is, a political speech, and one designed to make excuses for her actions while attacking others for theirs.

I would have respected her more if she had spent more time talking about the victims and asking for more respectful debate instead of trying to rationalize over the top hate speech. I mean dueling? Is she kidding?

2. Rec for rep. James Clyburn's statement! n/t

3. So one of her points seems to be shooting your political opposition is normal.

She is really digging her own ,,, you know what here.

The point is, pointless sarah, that we evolve and solve our differences with mutual agreements.
