Hey Sarah, At Least Stand By Your Free Speech

[n2doc]

Syndicate columnist Tina Dupuy, who had this interesting observation on the Arizona shooting and Sarah Palin:

Last Saturday morning 20 people were shot in a Tucson Safeway parking lot by a 22-year-old who stated on YouTube he “won’t pay debt with a currency that’s not backed by gold and silver.” Fifteen minutes after the news broke, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin tweeted, “The price of gold today is at $1,368.90 an ounce.”
Coincidence? Yes.

In March, shortly after TakeDownthe20.com was launched, the window of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ Tucson office was shot out with a pellet gun. Giffords said in an interview, “The rhetoric and firing people up….we’re on Sarah Palin’s targeted list. But the thing is that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gunsight over our district. And when people do that, they’ve got to realize there’s consequences to that action.”
There were reports of Tea Party protesters outside her office with signs like, “It’s time to reload” and “One way or another, you’re gone.”
Why? Because people listened to Sarah Palin. They listened to her debunked baloney that reforming health care would kill your grandmother. According to Palin, Giffords was trying to kill everyone’s favorite elderly relative. Therefore, there was a target on her.

There is no evidence any of those people who listened to Palin shot the member of congress in the head with a semi-auto Glock. Besides being steeped in revolution, a cockeyed view of The Constitution and anti-government rhetoric, the shooter has no connection to Palin.
However, minutes after the former governor tweeted about gold, her website was scrubbed of the now infamous crosshairs graphic. It was gone. Then there was a note on her Facebook page: “On behalf of Todd and my family, we all pray for the victims and their families, and for peace and justice.”
So in a moment of national peril – when a political “enemy” who was on a hit list had been “taken down” - the FIRST thing Palin does is act in her own interests?
In a word: yes.
This is the most cowardly thing I’ve ever witnessed. If you are going to say outrageous things, then you are going to have to stand by outrageous things.

1. She can't stand by anything

That is why she quit half way through here term as Governor.

These people are deep down cowards and with out a big gun to back them up, will run every time the wind blows their direction.

2. She cares about her own self-interests

It has been obvious since the day she came on the scene.

I cannot imagine that she actually is considering running for the POTUS - she cannot be so ignorant as to think that this won't be the focal point of discussion about her ability to lead a country in a safe and logical manner.

Although I would pay money and pop extra popcorn to watch her debate President Obama.

Palin at debate: "Sure and also therefore, can I call you Barack?" :: wink wink fingerpoint ::
President Obama: "You can call me Mr. President" :: stare ::

<post deleted> markers.
Just love it.
Ms. Moose sucks at freedom of speech when it belongs to other people.
