Palin's 10 Red Herrings (Politico)
Sarah Palin has continued and intensified the rhetorical strategy introduced by her supporters and surrogates in the wake of the Tucson tragedy. She’s offering a series of red herrings — distracting with concepts that are truthful, but irrelevant, to deflect from other issues or vulnerabilities. (The term originates with the practice of using cured fish to put Hunting Dogs off the track. 1) Free Speech: “Congresswoman Giffords and her constituents were exercising their right to...

As Obama urged unity, Palin brought division
President Obama did not miss the moment. From the generally positive overnight reaction, Obama's Speech in Tucson on Wednesday night struck just the right notes. Amid grief over a senseless tragedy and against a raging debate that threatened to further divide the country, the president urged healing and Reconciliation.

Sarah Palin compares criticisms of her to a belief that led to the Holocaust
   In the wake of the shooting by Jared Loughner in Tucson last week, there was criticism directed against the harsh Rhetoric of those on the right-wing. Jared Loughner did not shoot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and Murder a number of other individuals because Talk Radio or Sarah Palin told him to do so.  A few individuals though have committed violence or attempted to do so because of their hatred of the left. Byron Williams, a man who was going to commit violence a...

Palin Cries On Hannitys Show
In the last video we reviewed there was a certain level of her smiling that indicated she was enjoying it all.  Her beef was to complain about Joe Klein a Time Magazine columnist who called her “seditious” and we are sure she had to look it up in a dictionary. The video tape is dated April 2010 where she ran away from the liberal biased media  and seemed to take joy in discrediting Time Magazine. She put down Time Magazine for “allowing the Rhetoric” as if they...

Is Obama leavingthe left behind?
The day President Obama departed for Arizona to address the nation on the Tucson massacre, Washington was abuzz. Would he take the line of the hard Left and call out the Right for having created what columnist Paul Krugman called the "Climate of Hate" in which a mentally deranged Jared Lee Loughner had acted? Would he lay moral responsibility for the slaughter at the feet of Fox News and Sarah Palin, as the wilder voices of the Left have been doing nonstop since Saturday's shocking news? Ob...

Obama Rising
Barack Obama's soothing words after the Tucson shootings contrast sharply with Sarah Palin's harsh Rhetoric. That may be one reason Obama is on the rise in recent polling. The morning after President Barack Obama delivered a well-received eulogy for the Victims of the Tucson, Arizona, Mass Shooting, he got some good news from a Quinnipiac University poll. Obama’s Approval Rating increased to 48 percent, his highest number in more than a year. More importantly, Americans view Obama much mor...

White House: 'No comment' on Palin 'blood libel' debate
The White House wants no part of the debate over former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's use of the term "blood Libel." In a press briefing on Thursday morning, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs acknowledged he watched Palin's statement on the Tucson shootings, but he wouldn't say if President Obama has. Gibbs refused give any White House perspective on Palin's remarks. "I'm happy to speak to what the president said and how he came about saying it, but I'll let others opine on t...

Sarah Palin and the "blood libel"
Posted by Paul at 8:30 PM Sarah Palin is coming in for criticism for using the term "blood Libel" to describe accusations that she and other outspoken Conservatives somehow have blood on their hands in connection with the Tucson shootings. Palin's remarks on the shootings are also being compared unfavorably to President Obama's Speech at the University of Arizona. Obama's Speech was healing and uplifting, while Palin's, some say, was divisive and defensive. I find both criticisms of Palin unfai...

Finding the Forgotten Majority
“There is a need for some reflection here—what is too far now? What was too far when Oklahoma City happened is accepted now. There’s been a desensitizing. These town halls and cable TV and Talk Radio, everybody’s trying to outdo each other.” Those were the words of an unnamed Republican senator after America’s latest shooting rampage, this one a political Assassination attempt in Tucson, Ariz. How sad—and telling—that the lawmaker refused to attach...

Obama uses careful tone to urge 'a more civil' tone in politics

Poster on Palin Facebook page compares 9-year-old Samantha Green to Hitler
A reader alerted me to this. Just as people on the left should be aware of the vile things said about Sarah Palin, the people on the right, like Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh and all holier-than-thou apologists on the right should know that there's plenty of ugly on their side. It's no secret that Sarah Palin employs people to delete comments on her Facebook page that criticize her --even respectful criticism is deleted. Some in the blogosphere actually track the deletions quite meticulously. O...

The madness of cross hairs, shots in the foot and the civility of blame
Does Sarah Palin have blood on her hands? Does she? Answer the question! Or the Tea Party for that matter? Care to blame someone not already mentioned? If, God forbid, Sarah Palin is ever put in the cross hairs of some perverted assassin’s weapon will the Left accept her blood on their own hands? Will you accept the responsibility of your own complicity in that act by virtue of the incontinent words with which you have chosen to condemn her? You were all so quick to assign the blame for th...

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Mecca): Palin Should Have Said Sorry For Overblown Rhetoric
You heard Farrakhan’s Jew-hating buddy, you’re all done, Sarah. (Huff Po) - Sarah Palin took a lot of heat on Wednesday for her seven-minute-long statement on the shootings in Arizona, in which she mourned the tragedy and accused her critics of “blood Libel.” And it appears that the president’s Speech last night — in which he adopted a far more civil, reconciliatory, and emotional tone — has made matters only worse. “I think that the presiden...

Sarah Palin's Jewish Problem
When Sarah Palin shot back at critics who proposed that her severe -- and perhaps violence-suggesting -- Rhetoric and campaigning helped inspire Jared Lee Loughner's massacre in Tuscon, she accused those critics of blood Libel -- and started an entirely new firestorm in the process. Palin's invoking of Blood libel, which in its proper use refers to a centuries old lie that was used to justify mass Anti-Semitism and Jewish persecution, immediately drew angry responses from politicians and Jewis...

A look at President Obama's speech in Tucson, with reaction from cable pundits
Back to the Speech. When the President talked about Gabby opening her eyes and young Christina Green's youthful outlook on public service, it was quite moving. It was a great speech -- his best since he became President -- and I hope it does some healing in Arizona and makes people start behaving differently. They know who they are, but I'm not confident that it will have the desired effect we'd wish. I think the constant cheering by the audience was a way to work out their grief and sadness and...

Why Sarah Palin Used the Term Blood Libel
Many people were shocked and appalled yesterday when Sarah Palin used the term "blood Libel" to defend herself in her Fox "News" tee vee studio in Wasilla. From reading many comment threads all over the Blogosphere, it would appear that the comments could be placed in one of two categories: 1). "America's Professional Victim" didn't really know how deeply offensive the term is. Let's call them the "Sarah is dumb" crowd; 2). The "Sarah is too smart for her own good" group seems to think she knew...

Bill OReilly While Discussing Sarah Palin: There Isnt Anybody More Vilified Than Beck
Fox’s Bill O’Reilly-who delivered what he describes as a “devastating” indictment of those who linked the shootings in Arizona to politicians like Sarah Palin-does not see the former Alaska Governor as the ultimate Victim of hypercharged political Rhetoric. It’s Glenn Beck. In a discussion with Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson and Fox contributor Margaret Hoover , O’Reilly dismissed suggestions that there’s a gender bias in politi...

Cafferty: Palin Can't Be President Due to 'Inflammatory' Reply to Critics
Jack Cafferty's Palin Derangement Syndrome reached a new level on Thursday's Situation Room on CNN, as he attacked the Republican for her reply to those who tried to tie her to the Arizona shootings: "It was just awful, defiant, [and] inflammatory." Cafferty also ripped Palin for using the "blood Libel" phrase and stated that the reply would "effectively end her chance of ever being elected president."
