Princess Palin.... the one who scrubbed the gunsights from her website immediately after the shootings.

Yeah she did.. of course the election has been over for what 4 months now?

IS there anyway Obama can retract his "They bring a knife... we bring a gun" pep talk?

Oh, I see. It was just taken down in due course following the election rather than in reaction to the shooting in Tucson? The take down having occured the very day of the shooting was mere coincidence, then? Interesting.

Palin is one of those mean spirited politicians and that kind of attitude is nothing but poison.

If I had a photo=shopped image of the Rep who was shot as my signature here at VJ, I too would have taken it down upon learning of the events.

Dosen't mean I am guilty of anything... it simply reflects my sensitivity concerning the nature of the events.

Are you holding others to the same Standard.... as you seem to be Palin?

Lets Look at Obamas former No.1 man Rahm Emanuel... who seems more like a Mob boss than public servant.

The New York Times:

The best Rahm Emanuel story is not the one about the decomposing two-and-a-half-foot fish he sent to a pollster who displeased him. It is not about the time - the many times - that he hung up on political contributors in a Chicago mayor's race, saying he was embarrassed to accept their $5,000 checks because they were $25,000 kind of guys. No, the definitive Rahm Emanuel story takes place in Little Rock, Ark., in the heady days after Bill Clinton was first elected President.

It was there that Emanuel, then Clinton's chief fund-raiser, repaired with George Stephanopoulos, Mandy Grunwald and other aides to Doe's, the campaign hangout. Revenge was heavy in the air as the group discussed the enemies - Democrats, Republicans, members of the press - who wronged them during the 1992 campaign. Clifford Jackson, the ex-friend of the President and peddler of the Clinton draft-dodging stories, was high on the list. So was William Donald Schaefer, then the Governor of Maryland and a Democrat who endorsed George Bush. Nathan Landow, the fund-raiser who backed the candidacy of Paul Tsongas, made it, too.

Suddenly Emanuel grabbed his steak knife and, as those who were there remeber it, shouted out the name of another enemy, lifted the knife, then brought it down with full force into the table.

''Dead!'' he screamed.

The group immediately joined in the cathartic release: ''Nat Landow! Dead! Cliff Jackson! Dead! Bill Schaefer! Dead!''

The headline should be:

Sarah Palin whores it up for the media

Thank you for that insight... mind if I use it in a future post?

[ready4ONE 5,400]

I dislike Sarah as much or more than anyone but on this issue she's not to blame and the sniping is silly. Forgive me the gun related term.

I obviously don't blame her, and its fine that she speaks up, but Blood Libel? Seriously? Does she share speech writers with Ahmadinejad? Sounds like something he would say.

Both are crazy!

Tasteless, yes. But very much different than holding campaign rallies and posting on your website suggestive imagery and rhetoric that, while conveniently ambiguous in a technical sense, works as 'dog-whistle' politicking to the base and is seen by more than a few on the fringe as a call to actual violence. And the proof of this is the lack of condemnation coming from rally organizers and Palin herself when there are an abundance of signs at her rallies with very explicit talk of potential violence! And no. she is not alone in this. What sets her apart is the degree to which this was/is a feature of her appearances and her campaigning.

Do you have reasoning facilities ? Rahm calls for death, it means nothing, Palin uses the optics of a scope to pin point targets.... and you see Palin as the one calling for violence.

Since palin sent out this "dog whistle" for violence, as you say..... is it fair to say it was in effective, or maybe you have a list of victims?
