If only I were Sarah Palin's speechwriter . . . .
Sarah Palin's silence, since Saturday, has been, as Keith Olbermann noted, "deafening." This is a woman who Tweets or posts on Facebook when she eats a bagel. So when news of the Facebook video hit this morning, my heart actually sank. With her silence, she spared us her words. But then I watched the video of Sarah Palin as Victim, and the "blood Libel" term aside, I can't think of a time when a Speech hit a worse tone and was more ill-timed. Palin made herself a victim before the memorial for t...

Backlash Grows Over Palin's 'Blood Libel' Claim
Sarah Palin's use of the loaded phrase "blood Libel" is attracting more attention and condemnation as the day goes on. The former Alaska Governor used the words to describe the claims of critics who said Palin deserved some of the blame for the Arizona shootings because of her fiery Rhetoric and her target-marked election map that put the sights on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), among others. But the phrase most often refers to an anti-Semitic myth that's been used to justi...

Sam Stein: Obama Re-Introduces The Human Element To The Giffords Tragedy
WASHINGTON -- It is when there is a human element to his presidency that Barack Obama tends to stand the tallest. And on Wednesday evening, as he spoke to 20,000-plus at a memorial service at the University of Arizona, there was, if nothing else, an emotional honesty to what he had to say. To a nation looking for clarity, Obama didn't pretend to have all the answers. There is, he noted, a tendency to demand "order" from "chaos," to try and "make sense out of that which seems senseless." Life d...

Mark Green: Her Candidacy is Over -- Palin's "Brainwashing" and "Joe Welch" Moment
After the President's remarks in Tucson, ideally the public conversation will be elevated to focus more on serious issues after the tragedy last Saturday -- how can we help the mentally ill before they hurt themselves or us? How can we craft Gun Control laws to keep semi-automatics away from troubled or politically motivated people? How can the public and officials "debate without hate"? But as of today, there has been one political ramification of note -- Sarah Palin is done as a presidential...

David Frum On MSNBC Calls Sarah Palin A Big Melting Iceberg
Lawrence O’Donnell ’s Last Word dedicated a segment to understanding Sarah Palin and her “blood Libel” claims in light of President Obama’s comments, and needless to say that O’Donnell and his panel- David Frum and Mother Jones’ David Corn - took a bit of an issue with it.

Palin's words reach back to sordid history
When Sarah Palin accused Journalists and pundits of "blood Libel" in the wake of the deadly Arizona shootings, she reached deep into one of medieval history's most sordid chapters to make her point.

Jews were tortured and executed for crimes they did not commit, emblematic of anti-Semitis...

In Arizona, Obama Appeals To Our Better Angels (The Nation)

Reactions to the governor's speech
"The Governor's Speech tonight was filled with a number of priorities — funding for transportation, Higher Education and Job Creation. Those are goals that Virginia Democrats share. Where we have serious differences is how to pay for them. … "The governor has a long wish list of expensive items but no sound plan on how to pay for them.

Obama Finds His Voice, MSM Still Lost
If you missed the Tucson Memorial tonight , you can read President Obama’s Speech here. It was a very good speech, very well delivered. I was watching it and monitoring twitter at the same time, and saw many judging the Speech to be his best since the election. I think I agree with that. I recall being disappointing with Obama’s Inaugural Speech, and even some of Obama’s biggest supporters have complained that he sometimes seems too detached from his words or surroundings, but ...

Late Night: Try to Be Nice, And Look What It Gets You
It’s long been obvious that Conservatives conceive of “civility” solely in terms of point-scoring, because they are essentially sociopathic fuckwads. Oh, perhaps this is unfair.

The branding commenced, the free t-shirts were handed out,  and concessions were no doubt enjoyed. Funny, I don’t think I’m the only one who remembers Obama BSing and manipulating ...
