Why doesn't Palin just apologize? Seriously. All she has to say

[jillan]

is that she is aware that there have been alot of questions on her crosshair chart over the last couple of days, and that she apologizes that people found it so offensive. Or whatever. Just acknowledge it.

Rather than become defensive, the proper thing to do is to apologize, especially since it was Gabrielle Giffords that discussed the chart after it was first put out.

Sarah, that's what a true leader would do in a situation like this where everyone is pointing fingers at you.

If she can't even do that - she is exactly what we think she is.... a Nothing. No Class. Zero Leadership Skills.

Edit to add - that it just proves she doesn't know right from wrong.

1. Never happen.

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. Even a concession as to how she could see that lines could be drawn.

But that is not the way of the Right.

[Jamastiene]

3. A Republican? Apologize?

I won't be holding my breath waiting for that to ever happen. They never apologize and they never admit they are wrong.

[GentryDixon]

24. They push it back on the Dems

and the MSM happily goes along with it.

[walldude]

4. I have heard lots of apologies...

from liberals. Olbermann, David Sirota, Paul Begala, Bill Press, all apologizing today if they have said or done anything to increase the hateful rhetoric in this country.

[movonne]

5. They never apologize...they just get the msm to make it a two way

thing...the left is just as bad as the right..

[Sal Minella]

6. Even if Sarah did apologize, it would be one of those "I'm sorry if you

took offense and got all huffy about this innocent little thing I did" sort of apologies.

[phleshdef]

7. If Pres. Obama could be even remotely associated with something like this due to something he said..

...or something his campaign did, a 45 minute speech w/ included apology and message clarification would have been issued by now.

[FLAprogressive]

8. that would require her to admit she is wrong.

[jillan]

12. She really wouldn't have to do that, she could just apologize for the questions that arose since

this tragedy.

Of course, she would never do either.

[wtbymark]

9. Oh, well those are 'surveying' marks

I wonder what bright aid told her to say that

Just call her Wonder Tool, the all in one tool for the Oligarchy

11. it is not in the narcissistic/authoritarian personality the ability to apologize, n/t

[Submariner]

13. Like Bush, she knows she's an idiot, and idiots won't ever admit they're wrong

and potentially burst their bubble of illusion of greatness.

[JBoy]

14. Not in her DNA. And she doesn't believe in DNA.

[WinkyDink]

15. "Why doesn't Palin just apologize?" Because she doesn't "have to."

[lob1]

16. Why would she apologize when their plan is starting to work?

All the hate speech from the right is not accidental, it's a plan.

[robinlynne]

21. exactly.

[Jamastiene]

28. Bingo!

[grahamhgreen]

37. +1

[bettyellen]

17. she'd lose her base. being an angry threatening gun toter is all she really has.

[somone]

18. Like all RWers, she's waiting for the victims to apologize to her

[tularetom]

19. If she did she'd have cross hairs on her within an hour

And the loonier among the loonies would be trashing her non stop on the web and on hate radio.

And the liberal media would blame the whole thing on the Democrats.

[robinlynne]

20. because she is NOT sorry. Why does everyone think she is against the shooting?

[cutlassmama]

22. won't happen. that would make her culpable and therfore open to lawsuits

[handmade34]

23. was just saying...

someone in Sarah Palin's position, if they were a leader and humane, would acknowledge and apologize for any connection whatsoever...

[gatorboy]

25. I think the real reason she doesn't apologize is she's afraid of looking weak in front of her goons.

That's what the adore about her. Her "Take no shit from those lousy liberals" schtick.

[Ruby the Liberal]

26. Ed aired Glenn Beck reading Sarah's statement today.

Apology?

Not even close. It was all about her.

[Cleita]

27. "If she can't even do that..."

You answered your own question.

[RufusTFirefly]

29. Never happen. These are the same people who think Anita Hill should apologize.

The only way these people apologize is in an accusatory fashion. Instead of saying "I'm sorry that I did something wrong," they say, "I'm sorry you mistakenly thought I did something wrong."

[kestrel91316]

30. Republicans NEVER apologize for their actions. EVER.

Oh, some of them may pretend to, but if you read the words close, you see they only say how unfortunate it is that someone (thinskinned) took offense at their words (which are still correct).

[Matariki]

31. Never Explain, Never Apologize == Right Wing motto.

[janet118]

32. Palin means never having to say you're sorry. n/t

[Uzybone]

33. sociopaths rarely own up to their evil

and even when they do, its because they are angling for more evil.

[patrice]

34. Because doing so would expose her legally to admitting that she had something to do with whathappend

[LostInAnomie]

35. But... But... that would be "retreating" not "reloading"!!!

[grahamhgreen]

36. Because every time a gun is fired or a bomb is dropped,

someone makes money.

And when your on the side of these people, the more strife and bloodshed in the world, the more profits you make.

That is why they are always stirring things up, IMHO.

[fascisthunter]

38. because then Publicly it is an admission of Guilt, maybe

and Palin is too speshul to have to be held accountable for her words.
