In a forceful and unapologetic statement released early Wednesday, Sarah Palin dismissed critics who had suggested that the former Alaska Governor's Firearms-infused Rhetoric contributed to the shootings in Tucson that killed six and wounded 14, including U.S. Rep.

Palin: Journalists incite hatred after Arizona shooting
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Sarah Palin posted a nearly eight-minute video on her Facebook page early Wednesday, accusing Journalists and pundits of inciting hatred and violence in the wake of a deadly Arizona shooting that gravely wounded U.S. Rep.

Heroes of Tucson
It is an instinct that is inherent in the animal kingdom and was present on January 8, 2011 when Jared Loughner opened fire with a Glocker gun spraying bullets at a crowd of people in Tucson. The heroes are mainly everyday Americans like Patricia Maisch a 61 year old that heeded the call to capture the magazine before Loughner reloaded his gun. She grabbed it and actually tackled him to the ground and Bill Badger jumped in and sat on him to stop him from shooting again. It as at this moment that...

House honors Giffords; touches on guns, rhetoric, responsibility

Members, introducing a resolution honoring Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (R-AZ), largely stuck to honoring the Victims. But there were some notable moments of speeches that strayed from that. California Democrat and Veteran Member, Jane Harman, after praising Giffords and recognizing the victims, was the first to bring up gun control. "Finally, we ...

Sarah Palin's 'blood libel' blunder | Peter Beaumont
The sense of victimhood of the Tea Party and its fellow travellers should now be well known. It was Glenn Beck, after all - the man who accused America's first African American president of being "Racist" - who last year told a rally of his followers in Washington that they had taken on the mantle of the Civil Rights movement. Now Sarah Palin, former vice Presidential Candidate, has repeated this same repellent inversion, accusing those who criticised her for her violent political rh...

Gabrielle Giffords Shooting: Jared Loughner May Have Been Influenced by Occult
© Splash A macabre 'altar' in the backyard of Tucson shooter Jared Loughner In messages left on the Internet before the shooting Loughner, 22, revealed himself to be a social outcast with paranoid, nihilistic beliefs and a fixation with grammar.

Shameless Palin Claims Victimhood, Refuses to Apologize
Wow, Sarah Palin sure has got no shame. You’d think after the horrible shooting in Tucson, and after literally putting Gabrielle Giffords in the cross-hairs, that Palin might have had the dignity either to say nothing or to show at least an ounce of remorse or pledge to lower her own Rhetoric by a decibel or two. But not Palin. No, now she’s made herself the Victim. She said: “Journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood Libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violen
