Sarah Palin Responds - "America's Enduring Strength"

SARAH PALIN: America's Enduring Strength
Like millions of Americans I learned of the tragic events in Arizona on Saturday, and my heart broke for the innocent Victims. No words can fill the hole left by the death of an innocent, but we do mourn for the victims’ families as we express our sympathy. I agree with the sentiments shared yesterday at the beautiful Catholic mass held in honor of the Victims. The mass will hopefully help begin a healing process for the families touched by this tragedy and for our country. Our exceptional...

Capehart: Sarah Palin doesn't get it
Sarah Palin has emerged from the protective cloak of Twitter and e-mails to Glenn Beck to speak directly to the American People about the tragedy in Tucson. In a video, she expresses condolences for the Victims' families and concern for those recovering from Saturday's horrific events. But for nearly eight defensive minutes, the woman who has been at the center of a stormy national debate over our super-heated political discourse does her best to absolve herself of any role in that discourse. ...

The Arizona shootings in hind-site
 The Arizona shootings have put everything in the limelight except the recovery of Congresswomen Gifford's and the investigation of the gunman Jared Lee Loughner. We all know the story, it has been run into the ground this week; the same old back and forth between left and right about the politicizing of a Murder; the nutcase sheriff running back and forth between networks telling us all to stop the vitriol while he himself is doing the same; Sarah Palin being implicated in the story becaus...

To Sarah Palin, the Arizona Shooting Is All About ... Sarah Palin
A nine-year-old girl who just wanted to meet her congresswoman is dead. Democracy itself is under assault with the shooting death of a Federal Judge and a congressional aide, and the Attempted Murder of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The accused shooter has a troubling history that raises questions about how we care for the mentally ill and whom we allow to have a gun. Heroes emerged, including citizens who threw themselves atop the shooter to stop further bloodshed, and the congressional intern who...

It's Better To Keep Your Mouth Shut
As you've undoubtedly heard, Sarah Palin finally broke her silence today on the shootings in Tucson last weekend. Sarah Palin: "America's Enduring Strength" from Sarah Palin on Vimeo. [Transcript below the fold.] Anyone who's watched Ms. Palin over the last eighteen months knows that she didn't write this Speech. (And she didn't memorize it, either; you can see the reflection of the Teleprompter in her glasses.) But whoever wrote it for her either didn't know that the term "blood Libel" is cons...

Andy Ostroy: The Political Implosion of Sarah Palin
The takeaway from President Obama's brilliant, poignant Speech at Wednesday night's memorial at the University of Arizona in Tucson was, "We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us." The tone of his message, his raw emotion, the compassion for the Victims and their families, and the genuine concern he showed for the nation exemplified great leadership, and was in stark contrast to the bizarre, self-serving video that his pot...

Joe Peyronnin: Tragedy in Tucson: Two Speeches
One heinous act in Tucson Saturday by a lone gunman left six people dead and more than a dozen injured. For five days the nation gasped in horror as it tried to search for answers. On Wednesday, President Barack Obama traveled across the country to attend a memorial ceremony, held at the University of Arizona, to speak with emotion and compassion of Saturday's tragic shootings. President Obama announced to the cheering arena that Representative Gabrielle Giffords, who had been shot through th...

I Can Hear The Civility From My House
Sarah Palin takes aim on her Facebook page; President Reagan said, “We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.” Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own. They begin and end with the criminals who commit them, not collectively with all the citizens of a state, not with those who listen to Talk Radio, not with maps of swing dist

White House on Sarah Palin's comments: No comment
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs pointedly avoided attempts Thursday to engage the Obama Administration in a debate on civil political discourse with potential presidential rival Sarah Palin. Speaking at his morning briefing, Gibbs ducked several questions about the president's response to Palin's comments in the wake of the Arizona Shooting Spree that left six dead and 19 wounded. Palin on Wednesday branded attempts by some to use the attack as a way of criticizing Conservatives as "blood li...

Rush Limbaugh Billboard in Arizona
What kind of Mad Men are in Arizona at that Radio Station that would promote bullets for a radio Talk Show personality that lives on Hate Speech and that defies the government?  Especially after the shootings on January 8th, 2011 of a democrat US Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords who lies in a Hospital fighting for her life from a bullet hole to her head from an insane young man who had a certain target and who thought the government was brainwashing him. What message does this radio station...

Sarah Palin Refudiates Sarah Palin
Everyone's all aflush with talk of Sarah Palin's invocation of "blood Libel," so this section of her prepared statement probably isn't getting the attention it deserves: President Reagan said, "We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions." Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own. They begin and end with the criminals who commit them, ...

The President and Mrs. Palin
I agree with the first part, that Barack Obama mostly did in his Speech last night — even despite the odd environment. Sure, he was himself, with his views about us collectively, and he did go on. But he largely focused on the people affected, the people hurt, the people murdered. He appealed to the best in us and our traditions, and he even seemed to slap down his left flank a bit. But I think Sarah Palin rose to the occasion, too. The story in Tucson, contrary to what I’ve been hea...

On Faith: Will Palin regret using 'blood libel'?
In response to the tragic shooting in Arizona, Sarah Palin on Wednesday released a nearly eight-minute video that said that those who imply that she bears some responsibility for Jared Lee Loughner's act of violence are guilty of "blood Libel." "Journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn," Palin said in the statement. The term may come to haunt Palin. According to the Anti-De...

Sarah Speaks
Posted by John at 10:03 AM After being out of the public eye for a few days, Sarah Palin has released a video in which she responds to liberals' attacks on her and other Conservatives. The text is here; the video is posted below. Palin's statement is, I think, very good. It emphasizes, appropriately, the Victims and the nation's political process rather than politicians, demonstrating once again that Palin is less obsessed with Sarah than her enemies are. Overall, the statement comes across as ...

Tucson Reax
Adam Serwer tweets: This Speech reminds me that the criticism I find most incomprehensible is the idea that the president does not love his country. Fallows: The standard comparisons of the past four days have been to Ronald Reagan after the Challenger disaster and Bill Clinton after Oklahoma City. [Yesterday's] Speech matched those as a demonstration of "head of state" presence, and far exceeded them as oratory -- while being completely different in tone and nature. They, in ret...

Palin responds to the left-wing's 'reprehensible' 'blood libel'
Sarah Palin responds to the left-wing's despicable effort to blame her and the right for the evil act of a deranged shooter in Arizona. 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. There are those who claim political Rhetoric is to blame for the despicable act of this deranged, apparently apolitical criminal. And they c...
