Palin accuses liberals of inciting " the very hatred and violence" we condemn, while

[mzmolly]

asserting that her gun specific violent rhetoric has no impact?

"But, especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible."

1. Seems she condoned the hate...

Shown on the signs carried at her rallies. Where was her sense of responsibility then? She's weaseling out of the words she's spoken without mention of her actions or inactions.

[mzmolly]

3. She appears to be sociopathic

in her thought process?

[JuniperLea]

13. I think so...

And narcissistic.

2. She reminds me of the battering husbands who say their wives made them do it. nt

If we liberals would just stop disagreeing with her, she wouldn't have to tell people to shoot us and stuff.

4. Kiss my ass you worthless piece of shit

You are the ultimate media manipulator.

[Uncle Joe]

5. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, mzmolly.

[mzmolly]

6. Hi Uncle Joe.

Nice to see you. :hi: I wish it were a different discussion ... but it's nice to see a friendly face, regardless.

[Uncle Joe]

8. I feel the same way.

Have a belated Happy New Year, peace to you.:hi:

[mzmolly]

10. Happy New Year to you as well

kind sir. :pals:

7. It's just more Rethug "opposite world" crap.

You know, the same world view that asserts that:

Lowering taxes will increase tax revenue, even though it seems counter-intuitive (which is just a polite way of saying batshit-crazy).

Increasing access to guns will lower crime rates.

Spending more on high-tech "defense" toys will make us safer at home, even though the 9/11 hijackers had nothing more sophisticated than box-cutters.

Etc., ad nauseum

9. SIT & SPIN, sarah...WHEN YOU GET TO THE ELBOW THE RIDES OVER!

sarah palin, this cheap schtick of yours is over! YOUR TIME IS UP! crawl back to shadows and take limpballs, beck, hannity, savage weiner your cohorts with you!

[AsahinaKimi]

11. Yes.. this is her logic

REPUBLICAN: IF you don't do things our way we will use our 2ND amendment rights!
DEMOCRATS: THAT'S CRAZY TALK
REPUBLICAN: WE WARNED YOU!! (blam blam!) YOU MADE US SHOOT!!!

[Hamlette]

12. Got to pick a side Sarah. Either words have consequences or they don't.

How can she say, with a straight face, that the gunman in AZ alone is responsible and that what she said and did had no impact while at the same time saying the media frenzy blaming her is inciting violence?

Clayburn said it best: She does not have the intellectual capacity to understand this issue.

[mzmolly]

17. Exactly.

:hi:

[Raschel]

14. Great point. Other people can incite violence with their words, but not her.

[progressivebydesign]

15. Rule #1: It's only okay if THEY do it. (that's the only rule.) n/t

[pokerfan]

16. Ironic, ain't it? (nt)

[eppur_se_muova]

18. That was the part that pissed me off. She should be the last one to say 'hypocrisy'.

I figured the "blood libel" slip was just because she's an ignorant, careless ninny. No news there. But accusing others of her own sins represents a genuine and profound moral absence in her character. We need to remember that long after the "blood libel" furore has faded from the headlines.
