Thoughtful, On-Target Palin Responds To Attacks; Left Loses Last Grip On Reality

Thoughtful, On-Target Palin Responds To Attacks; Left Loses Last Grip On Reality
I know, my use of the term on-target makes me a vitriolic, hateful Rhetoric espouser in the eyes of some. It’s not conducive to the “new tone” we are all supposed to embrace for some unfathomable and delusional reason. Of course, this new tone doesn’t apply if one is speaking about Sarah Palin, who is apparently the cause of All Bad Things Ever, in perpetuity. Even here, we are on day three of no school due to snow. In South Carolina. Does Palin’s evil reach have no...

Left really hates it when people respond to their attack narrative
Image via Wikipedia Lori Ziganto: ... A pitch perfect response, both from the heart and smart. Naturally, that then caused the Left to lose whatever tenuous grip they had left on reality. See, Sarah Palin was bad for being “silent and on the lam” last night. But, today, she is super icky for responding and not remaining silent. After being accused for days of having “blood on her hands” and of being responsible for the acts of a madman. Who, incidentally, apparently did...

Flashback 2010: Jim Clyburn calls opponent terrorists during ObamaCare debate
Clyburn has went off on Sarah Palin, the Tea Party and the kitchen sink as the cause of the Murder spree in Arizona by a deranged "left-wing pothead." He might want to add himself his own list of those using incendiary Rhetoric as he called opponents of ObamaCare Terrorists early last year: Video: Rep Jim Clyburn (D) Calls Tea Party Protesters "Terrorists" Ironically, Clyburn is one of the cadre of kooks in the Democrat party that is willing to risk our safety by treating real Terrorists - the ...

Clear Channel Yanks 'Straight Shooter' Limbaugh Ad In Tucson
Several weeks ago, NewsTalk 790 KNST in Tucson put up a billboard to advertise Rush Limbaugh's Radio Show. The text reads, "Rush Limbaugh/Straight Shooter," and the ad is riddled with images of bullet holes. In the wake of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and 18 others on Saturday, KNST's parent company, Clear Channel, decided to take down the billboard. In a statement to TPM, Clear Channel, which also manages the billboard, said the ad "used the common expression 'straight shoot...

This particular ad - which used the common expression "straight shooter" to describe Mr. Limbaugh's candid and direct style -- was designed and contracted for by the local station's promotion departmen...

Congressman Clyburn engages in inciteful hate speech
Well, I mean he did if you by the left’s definition of “Hate Speech” the last week or so - which is to say someone saying/doing/posting something that the left believes can potentially be used as incitement to commit political violence. Real Clear Politics has the transcript. You can watch video of Clyburn’s remarks at the same link (via Doug Powers ) Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) has been an outspoken critic of the use of so-called violent or vitriolic political rhetor...

Rush Limbaugh Takes Down Straight Shooter Billboard in Tucson
Celebrity Endorsements: Money for Nothing?

More on Violence And Right Wing Rhetoric
Despite all the evidence to the contrary, Conservatives who fail to understand the arguments from liberals about Right Wing Hate Speech act as if Jared Loughner lived in a vacuum and acted with absolutely no external influences. This is despite multiple reports indicating Loughner’s interest in fringe politics. NewsOne reports on yet another connection, alleging that Loughner is a fan of right winger Alex Jones. I find it curious that Conservatives have been attacking liberals this week ...

Sarah Palin haters turn to Twitter to post hate 'tweets'
Plenty of people have plenty to say about Sarah Palin , on both sides of the political aisle, but a video on YouTube is likely to get universal condemnation from both the left and the right. On YouTube, someone posted a four-minute video montage of "hate tweets" directed at Sarah Palin --vile, ugly messages hoping that she gets shot, gets Cancer and dies and so on, and often in graphic NSFW language. This, in the aftermath of the Tucson tragedy, the heated Rhetoric that followed and the presiden...

Sarah Palin vs Barack Obama: Their differing reactions to the Arizona shooting according to Politico
  Earlier today I read this article on Politico about the differing reactions between Barack Obama and Sarah Palin on the shooting in Arizona. I found the article quite interesting, here is the main crux of the article: In the span of a single news cycle, Republicans got a jarring reminder of two forces that could prevent them from retaking the presidency in next year. At sunrise in the East on Wednesday, Sarah Palin demonstrated that she has little interest — or capacity —...

Liberals Preach Civility and Call for Sarah Palins Death
As we pointed out earlier today, liberals/Democrats/whatEVER totally ignored THEIR president’s call for Civil Discourse with vicious Palin posters in San Francisco put up even before he finished his Speech in Tucson. Fox News reports it is getting much worse. There is an organized social network push calling for Sarah Palin’s Assassination. Is the FBI involved yet? Critics of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin have turned to Twitter to post hate “tweets” suggesting that ̶...

In the aftermath of a shooter's attack on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), Palin's use of gun-sight imagery in the 2010 campaign has become a focus in a national debate over heated political Rhetoric. Palin broke her silence Wednesday in an online video denouncing what she called "blood Libel".  Several political commen...

Sarah Palin To Be Interviewed on Fox News Monday
Sarah Palin will appear Monday on Fox News in her first interview since accusing critics of committing "blood Libel" for insinuating her Rhetoric may have been somehow connected to last week's shooting rampage in Arizona.

Palin, the 2008 GOP vice Presidential Candidate, is on the Fox Payroll, often appearing as a commentator and contributor. On Wednesday, Palin ...

Sarah Palin To Sit Down With Sean Hannity For First Interview Since Arizona Shooting
Sarah Palin has been roped into ongoing discussion surrounding last weekend’s Arizona shooting during which Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head pretty much since the first shot was fired. The former Governor’s name first became embroiled in coverage of the event when some in the media pointed out that an ad appearing on Palin’s Facebook page for SarahPAC featured crosshairs over Giffords’ district, among others. Could this sort of “violent”...

Naming Names: Some Of The Liberals Who Were Overjoyed About The Tucson Shooting
Sadly, there have always been mentally disturbed people who’ve acted out violently. Sometimes it’s against their families, at their jobs, schools, places of employment — and sometimes it’s against famous targets. Most people, when they hear about events of this sort, feel sorrow for the senseless loss of innocent life. We wonder why God allows bad things to happen to good people and we mourn for those affected, their families, and friends. This is how most Americans fee...

Open Letter to Sarah Palin
Governor Palin - Your widening sphere of political influence, along with the Tea Party, is changing the course of political history. A powerful shift in political thinking occurred immediately after the devastating tragedy in Tucson. Revealed to all Americans was the underbelly of the political left. Witnessed was the brazen attempt and rabid reaction by the left’s political attack dogs to use the loss of life and Attempted Murder of a congresswoman as political fodder. Victims barel...

Noah Baron: The Libel of "Blood Libel"
Recently I've heard a lot of people talking about how the shooting in Arizona was merely the product of violent Rhetoric on the part of America's right-wing. Such claims, I feel, are disingenuous. What information I can find about the situation points to the killer being more mentally unbalanced than a political actor. Nonetheless, I feel that this situation presents an opportunity of us to seriously examine the way we discuss politics in our country -- and, especially, how we value Speech. Re...

It's A Madhouse! A Maaaaadhouse!!
(I wrote most of this a day or so ago, so, it may be dated, but, I still stand by it. Useless Wizbang points for the first to guess where the title came from!) You'd think I would learn by now that the liberal species knows no shame. Be it lefty politicians or their boot-licking media toadies, everytime I think they couldn't possibly scrape any more sludge to suck from the bottom of the intellectual barrel, they come down with a more advanced case of mental constipation. An extra-strength dos...

Radio show host Hermain Cain says voters 'looking for something new' in 2012
Conservative Talk Radio host and businessman Hermain Cain predicted Thursday that voters are ready to embrace a new type of Presidential Candidate in 2012 — the "problem-solving" outsider, which he hopes to represent this primary season. "The opening for us is in the changing political landscape," Cain, a conservative black Republican, told The Ballot Box. "We saw it in what happened on November 2. This sleeping giant called the American People has awakened and they're looking for something...

"I'm Traumatized"
A reader writes: I hope you're right about Obama's Speech being a pivot point in our politics and culture. I know the Tucson shooting has forever changed the way I think - and will talk - about politics. My oldest and closest friend was one of the people shot on Saturday. Thankfully, none of the three bullets (one in each arm, one in the back) hit bone, major arteries, or any organs. She is truly fortunate that she didn't die while shielding her teen daughter (who was there to thank Congress...

Will The Lies About Loughner Ever Stop?
First the left, within hours of the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords and others, tried to claim Loughner was a conservative Tea Partier. Then they tried to claim that he was inspired to violence by Talk Radio and inflammatory Rhetoric from the right. Continue reading →...

People Falsely Accused of Wishing for Sarah Palins Death
In that video of disgusting death threats against Sarah Palin (Aaron posted Screenshots of them here), there were a couple that I think were included by mistake. To me, this is clearly a repudiation of those who blamed Palin. If there were any doubt, the author of the message explains: Anybody who knows me, has read my books, has read my blog, has read my Tweets, has breathed the same Internet air I breathe knows I’m a Reagan-conservative-moving-swiftly-to-libertarian Mormon with a side of...
