She’s Back: Sarah Palin Speaks Out On The Arizona Tragedy

Video
» 411 comments

To answer the question posed by Mediaite‘s Tommy Christopher who last night wondered whether Sarah Palin‘s silence on the Arizona shooting was her retreating or reloading, let the record reflect that Palin does not ever retreat. Below is her lengthy video response addressing the tragedy.

Every word Palin says in this video will most likely be analyzed for days. Palin treats this address with the seriousness of an actual leader and appears to do her best to unite all Americans together, no matter their political beliefs, in a recognition of “America’s Enduring Strength.” The one group left out of the celebration is Palin’s persistent nemesis, the mainstream media, as she says:

But, 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.

After a first viewing, it’s hard to find much to critique as Palin provides her first direct assessment of the shooting and sincerely shows real sympathy for the victims, while also demonstrating a passionate defense for the greatness of the American spirit and democracy. However, like the movie Inception, repeated viewings are likely to provide viewers with alternate interpretations and much to debate.

Should she have addressed the crosshairs controversy directly? Doing so may have been an implicit admission that it was wrong to have used such imagery on her campaign map in the first place, whereas ignoring it bolsters the defense that such military campaign rhetoric is commonly used by both parties and never meant to suggest actual violence. Also in the above statement, is her use of the term “blood libel” deliberate, despite it somewhat being commonly known as a false accusation that religious minorities, usually Jews, killed Christian children to use their blood for religious rituals like making matzoh for Passover? Or was it just a clumsy attempt at suggesting a more serious form of defamation to her character.

Given that Palin should know by now that if she sneezes the wrong way people might blame her for a hurricane, one would hope her word choice, especially in a prepared speech, could be a bit more polished to avoid such ambiguities. However, Palin’s fearlessness in speaking out and willingness to consistently put herself in the media’s “crosshairs” is hard not to admire, whether you ultimately support her or not.

(Full transcript after the video below.)


Full text of her speech (via Charleston Gazette)

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 nation, so vibrant with ideas and the passionate exchange and debate of ideas, is a light to the rest of the world. Congresswoman Giffords and her constituents were exercising their right to exchange ideas that day, to celebrate our Republic’s core values and peacefully assemble to petition our government. It’s inexcusable and incomprehensible why a single evil man took the lives of peaceful citizens that day.

There is a bittersweet irony that the strength of the American spirit shines brightest in times of tragedy. We saw that in Arizona. We saw the tenacity of those clinging to life, the compassion of those who kept the victims alive, and the heroism of those who overpowered a deranged gunman.

Like many, I’ve spent the past few days reflecting on what happened and praying for guidance. After this shocking tragedy, I listened at first puzzled, then with concern, and now with sadness, to the irresponsible statements from people attempting to apportion blame for this terrible event.

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 districts used by both sides of the aisle, not with law-abiding citizens who respectfully exercise their First Amendment rights at campaign rallies, not with those who proudly voted in the last election.

The last election was all about taking responsibility for our country’s future. President Obama and I may not agree on everything, but I know he would join me in affirming the health of our democratic process. Two years ago his party was victorious. Last November, the other party won. In both elections the will of the American people was heard, and the peaceful transition of power proved yet again the enduring strength of our Republic.

Vigorous and spirited public debates during elections are among our most cherished traditions. And after the election, we shake hands and get back to work, and often both sides find common ground back in D.C. and elsewhere. If you don’t like a person’s vision for the country, you’re free to debate that vision. If you don’t like their ideas, you’re free to propose better ideas. But, 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 claim political debate has somehow gotten more heated just recently. But when was it less heated? Back in those “calm days” when political figures literally settled their differences with dueling pistols? In an ideal world all discourse would be civil and all disagreements cordial. But our Founding Fathers knew they weren’t designing a system for perfect men and women. If men and women were angels, there would be no need for government. Our Founders’ genius was to design a system that helped settle the inevitable conflicts caused by our imperfect passions in civil ways. So, we must condemn violence if our Republic is to endure.

As I said while campaigning for others last March in Arizona during a very heated primary race, “We know violence isn’t the answer. When we ‘take up our arms’, we’re talking about our vote.” Yes, our debates are full of passion, but we settle our political differences respectfully at the ballot box – as we did just two months ago, and as our Republic enables us to do again in the next election, and the next. That’s who we are as Americans and how we were meant to be. Public discourse and debate isn’t a sign of crisis, but of our enduring strength. It is part of why America is exceptional.

No one should be deterred from speaking up and speaking out in peaceful dissent, and we certainly must not be deterred by those who embrace evil and call it good. And we will not be stopped from celebrating the greatness of our country and our foundational freedoms by those who mock its greatness by being intolerant of differing opinion and seeking to muzzle dissent with shrill cries of imagined insults.

Just days before she was shot, Congresswoman Giffords read the First Amendment on the floor of the House. It was a beautiful moment and more than simply “symbolic,” as some claim, to have the Constitution read by our Congress. I am confident she knew that reading our sacred charter of liberty was more than just “symbolic.” But less than a week after Congresswoman Giffords reaffirmed our protected freedoms, another member of Congress announced that he would propose a law that would criminalize speech he found offensive.

It is in the hour when our values are challenged that we must remain resolved to protect those values. Recall how the events of 9-11 challenged our values and we had to fight the tendency to trade our freedoms for perceived security. And so it is today.

Let us honor those precious lives cut short in Tucson by praying for them and their families and by cherishing their memories. Let us pray for the full recovery of the wounded. And let us pray for our country. In times like this we need God’s guidance and the peace He provides. We need strength to not let the random acts of a criminal turn us against ourselves, or weaken our solid foundation, or provide a pretext to stifle debate.

America must be stronger than the evil we saw displayed last week. We are better than the mindless finger-pointing we endured in the wake of the tragedy. We will come out of this stronger and more united in our desire to peacefully engage in the great debates of our time, to respectfully embrace our differences in a positive manner, and to unite in the knowledge that, though our ideas may be different, we must all strive for a better future for our country. May God bless America.

    My first impression is that it was very polished and she found a decent speech writer. There is a WORLD of difference when Sarah reads someone elses words and when she speaks for herself. She thinks Obama has a teleprompter problem? lol
    I have no major problems with her message. She has a right to defend herself against unfair accusations, although I was disappointed she just couldn’t say it was a good time to bring the temperature down a little.

    Now we have to wait and see what results from it…
    Will her poll numbers go up or down?
    Will she dial it down a bit? (I think she will)
    Will mainstream Republicans come to her defense (they have left her hanging in the wind)
    And most importantly, what will Giffords have to say about it when she is able?

    Anyway, her hopes for the presidency have been greatly diminished. The one thing all Americans have learned is what a divisive figure she is and I don’t think they are in any mood for more of that after Bush, and yes, Obama.

    They will be looking for someone who can bring the country together again and most people know that will never be Palin.

    Also, she looks tired, a little haggard. Not sleeping well, I imagine.

    What an incredibly cowardly way to address this issue. Why didn’t she put her big girl panties on and let her cohorts at Fox ask her a few prepared questions?

    Well, that was certainly uninspiring. This is basically derivative of every “speech” Palin has ever given, laden with same empty catch phrases and clichés. Of course, there was the obligatory homage to Raygun, but in a rather odd sense. And, it does seem tastelessly out of place with the tragic injuries of Raygun’s Mr. Brady at the hands of a bullet intended for Raygun. Palin really doesn’t seem to grasp context at all. I am sure it will work with Palin’s crazed devotees, but probably no one else.

    I do notice the dismissive nature of her dealing with the map which she says both sides have used. True. But, how immature. “Everybody else is doing it.”, never worked as an excuse with my mother. Then, she mentions the Republican victory in 2010, never referencing the failure to defeat Majority Leader and capture the Senate, a defeat in some large measure lain at her own threshold by the losses of her “zany” hand-picked candidates. Palin never seems able to take any accountability for anything. How much better things might be for her if she did.

    Of course, we had the self-exculpatory “arms = votes” equation which struck me as a terrible diminution of our democratic process. I’ve never thought of our democracy being reduced to hardware, and I am terribly offended at that implication.

    And, we had to have the expected pettiness by her slam of those who deemed the reading of the abridged version of the Constitution in the House, at a cost of US $1.1M, symbolic. What was it but symbolic? And, is symbolism inherently wrong? That would make the flag wrong, wouldn’t it? This needed to be better vetted. To her credit, Palin did reference, albeit not by name, the lunacy of Allen West and his call for additional limits on free speech.

    What I found most offensive was her dredging up of the Beckeresque American exceptionalism which takes us nowhere but is simply an attempt, I failed one I should hope, at quashing dialogue. “Sure bad things happen, but at least we are better than other people ….” What’s with that?

    As I said, this was nothing except, perhaps, a bit of Zweibeck for her crazed devotees. If this is Palin’s ticket back to legitimacy, she arrived at the gate after the plane had departed.

    What a bunch of self-serving drivel. She kept this story alive for days by first sending a blogger out to turn crosshairs into surveyor marks, then sending Glenn Beck an incoherent and defensive email..all the while letting Fox become the Protect The Victim, Sarah Palin network. Now we get some crap about how crosshairs and “don’t retreat, reload” aren’t REALLY the violent gun metaphors she’s been trafficking in for two years. She could have stopped all this last weekend with a simple apology about how the crosshairs map had become unintentionally tragic, and moved on. That was too much to ask of the thin-skinned narcissist.

    A 7:40 speech and a whole 1:30 actually spent talking about the victims. That’s 15% of dedication to those who died and 85% in defensive rhetoric. And whose the OPPORTUNISTS taking advantage of a tragedy to steer the attention toward them instead of the crime committed?

    Additionally Palin was magnanimous enough to spend precisely :15 seconds talking about Gabrielle Giffords but only in the context of her fulfilling her duty in the GOP ploy to read the Constitution and not any other achievement or personal tidbit that might reveal respect for her humanity as something other than a pawn an event staged for GOP populace brownie points. And NO MENTION of any of the other victims names.

    I’m not calling Palin heartless, I’m calling her shallow. This plea may work for those who already fetishize Palin but it’s lack of depth and impersonal tone is paper thin and doesn’t hold water.

    AGAIN, every media outlet and show LEFT AND RIGHT that spends any time reporting on the issue that spends an overabundance of time NOT discussing the victims is taking advantage of the tragedy if they have spent too much time speaking about everything BUT the tragedy. If you spend time defending yourself or those likes you, you’re taking attention away from the tragedy.

    The lack of true compassion and real depth just proves that her folksy charm wears off when real life issues are at stake. Sorry Palin, you didn’t hit a BULLSEYE with this. Have your ghostwriters go back to the drawing board.

    The temperature has always been hot – we all just feel it now with the internet and 24/7 cable news. But with that amplification, our “leaders” on both sides need to set an example. Whether it’s the right talking about 2nd amendment remedies or the President referring to the opposition as terrorists, they should know better…

  • DonnaK

    I really don’t waste a moment these days thinking anything about Palin, but as I heard her speech today, it is typical Palin. As someone says, you can always tell when something is written for her, and it seemed to be more about her than the victims. Also noted, she waited for her Fox buddies to pave the way, before she had the courage to speak. Even though she is not responsible for the Tucson tradjedy herself, she has been a major contributor to the hate in this country, she will never back down from her hateful words, and her chances of even becoming a candidate have diminished greatly!!

    Um, probably because there is NO evidence it had to do with anything. In fact just the opposite. You can keep repeating the same lies, but that does NOT make them true.

    But, wouldn’t it have been lovely if in a moment of charity, reflection and introspection she had said, “In retrospect, I would not have done that.”? In would have been redemptive for her and healing for the nation.

She has a right to defend herself against unfair accusations, although I was disappointed she just couldn’t say it was a good time to bring the temperature down a little. Now we have to wait and see what results from it…Will her poll numbers go up or down?Will she dial it down a bit? (I think she will)Will mainstream Republicans come to her defense (they have left her hanging in the wind)And most importantly, what will Giffords have to say about it when she is able? Anyway, her hopes for the presidency have been greatly diminished. The one thing all Americans have learned is what a divisive figure she is and I don’t think they are in any mood for more of that after Bush, and yes, Obama. They will be looking for someone who can bring the country together again and most people know that will never be Palin. Also, she looks tired, a little haggard. Not sleeping well, I imagine.

    mike lupica was on imus this morning telling the origin of “blood libel”. it was an accusation, mainly against jews, that they use the blood of kids in religious ceremonies.

    So let me get this straight…. the left wing media, first without any evidence, attempts to tie Palin and the Tea Party to the actions of a deranged man. Then, after the facts come out proving that this person had a perverted obsession with Rep. Giffords long before the TeaParty or Sarah Palin were ever heard of, they shift to blame to generic “right wing rhetoric” while completely ignoring Kill Bush signs and T Shirts, ACTUAL acts of violence committed by the left, and proof of some of the most vile liberal hate spewing that the right produced in defense of it’self….. THEN the argument changed to – they are guilty of pointing fingers in defense of themselves…. THEN we here…. Oh look at Palin hiding and not making any comments other than e mails to Glenn Beck….. THEN she responds with a very well written speech, very well articulated, reaffirming the exceptionalism of our country and its liberties and look how she gets attacked by the very people who demanded she respond. What is the sick obsession with Sara Palin from the left? Why does she offend you so much? Is it her love of our country? Is it that she is a woman? Her popularity? Her Beauty? Don’t give me the intelligence argument because for people that vote for Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer that argument doesn’t pass the smell test. Seriously, someone from the left please answer the question honestly. I wasn’t supportive of Palin running for President and wouldn’t have voted for her in the GOP primary but now I think I’m going to just for the satisfaction of potentially pushing you people over the edge…

  • felixw

    Thanks to Mediaite for publishing the full text of Palin’s statement. What a refreshing change, to actually report on what Palin says, rather than on a leftwing pundit’s attacks on her! This is almost unprecedented. MSNBC should take note. As well as the rest of the media, which strangely manages to devote huge amounts of coverage to Palin while trying to hide and distort her message. Or even accuse her of causing a murder (“blood on her hands”).

    No U.S. president, I expect, will ever appoint a Secretary of the Imagination. But if such a cabinet post ever were created, and Richard Foreman weren’t immediately appointed to it, you’d know that the Republicans were in power. Republicans don’t believe in the imagination, partly because so few of them have one, but mostly because it gets in the way of their chosen work, which is to destroy the human race and the planet. Human beings, who have imaginations, can see a recipe for disaster in the making; Republicans, whose goal in life is to profit from disaster and who don’t give a hoot about human beings, either can’t or won’t. Which is why I personally think they should be exterminated before they cause any more harm.

    Remember the uproar over that one? Me neither. How about this, from Rep Paul Kanjorski (D-PA)?

    “That Scott down there that’s running for governor of Florida,” Mr. Kanjorski said. “Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him.

  • TrollJuice

    Rep. Gabrielle Gifford’s cousin has a message for Sarah Palin.
    Dear Sarah Palin:

    I am writing today about how you are responding to and how you will respond to the assassination attempt on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the murders of six other people.

    By way of introduction and background, I am a cousin of Congresswoman Giffords. I am also an ally of Dr. George Tiller, the Kansas doctor who provided abortion services and who was assassinated on May 31, 2009.

    When the Congresswoman’s offices were vandalized after her vote on healthcare reform, I wrote to her. As I recall, I congratulated her on her strong spirit in the face of that attack and other threats. I told her that I was proud of her courage on behalf of health care reform and sorry that she had to show the same courage as those who provide health care to pregnant women who need abortions and other reproductive health care services. Both have been the subjects of hateful, vitriolic language. Both have been put in rifle crosshairs.

    In the aftermath of the murder of Dr. Tiller and the attempted murder of Congresswoman Giffords, many have spoken out about the role that hateful language played or might have played in encouraging these acts of violence. Immediately after Congresswoman Giffords was shot, many people voiced concern about such things as your “Take Back the 20″ map targeting congressional districts of those representatives, including Congresswoman Giffords, who voted for health care reform by placing their districts in the crosshairs of a gun sight. Commentators have also noted your advice to people disappointed in the outcome of the 2008 elections to “lock and load” and “don’t retreat, reload.”

    As I am sure you are now aware, Congresswoman Giffords herself had expressed concern about your map in particular. She said: “We need to realize that the rhetoric, and the firing people up and … for example, we’re on Sarah Palin’s targeted list, but the thing is, the way she has it depicted, we’re in the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they’ve got to realize that there are consequences to that action…”

    Your response so far, has been to defend the images and language you use. In an e-mail to Mr. Glenn Beck you said, “Our children will not have peace if politicos just capitalize on this to succeed in portraying anyone as inciting terror and violence.”

    Ms. Palin, the moment calls for more than this. I am a strong supporter of the First Amendment and of your right to defend your words and to challenge those who seek to connect them to the assassination attempt and murders in Tucson, Arizona. I also know that there is often a very long distance between words and actions.

    But even if your map and your language had nothing to do with these murders or any others that might occur in the future, a compassionate response would acknowledge that possibility and indicate a willingness, in her honor, in honor of the people who died, to consider this concern.

    Whether or not you are willing to take this concern seriously, it is, nevertheless a critical moment to clarify your beliefs and principles. Now is the time to answer these questions and lead.
    Do you believe it is appropriate to bring about political change in America through the use of or threat of violence?

    When you suggest targeting candidates, use gun-sight crosshairs to do so, and speak repeatedly about guns, locking and reloading do you mean that violence is or could be properly used to encourage or ensure certain outcomes of elections or legislative votes?

    If you do not mean literally that elected officials should be targeted with rifles and threatened by political activists armed with loaded weapons, what do you mean? What should politically frustrated Americans do when their views are not prevailing?

    Throughout the course of history people have demonstrated that the most effective change comes through non-violent action. Many of us believe that the most courageous leaders and activists are those who are willing to be attacked for their beliefs not those who threaten to attack.

    Ms. Palin, if you are among those who believe that political change can come about non-violently, without hate, violence, or the threat of violence, now would be an excellent time to say so.

    A Kim Bo said:

    Kimmie, Malkin has complied a well sourced mountain of evidence. Are you going to dismiss it because it should be dismissed or because you don’t want to face it? If it’s because it should be dismissed you’re going to have to explain why that is and “Malkin sux!” is not that explanation.

    “Palin’s bizarre use of language is sure to provoke further controversy. A blood libel refers to a notorious passage in St Matthew where Jews said of the crucifixion: “Let his blood be on our heads.” Later it referred to a medieval myth that Jews killed their children as part of a religious ritual. Giffords is Arizona’s first Jewish congresswoman.”

    It’s interesting to see all the effort put out by the hacks here at AbramsRevenge.com to steer this into the laps of conservatives yet not one ounce of reporting muscle has been expended to ferret out why the Pima Co. sherrif lied when telling reporters Loghgren had mulitiple run-ins with the police……only to back pedal from that statement later.

    Dupnik may find himself in hot water when questions are asked as to why after his teacher called 911 about his behavior….nothing was done. Or when he was caught peeping into the windows of a house recently bought from a woman who had expressed concern over his behavior at school.

    that couldn’t have ANYTHING to do with where his mom works huh? Couldn’t have anything with the fact that just one of these could have resulted in the psych eval that could have landed on the list precluding him from purchasing a firearm…..and OBVIOUSLY the sherrif of Pima Co. dropped the ball…..NUMEROUS times.

    How about investigating and reporting on the reports that folks complaining about his odd behavior were told by sherrifs that he was being taken care of by mental health professionals (he wasn’t) and that filing a report and having him charged was a bad idea?

    That is your defense. Interesting, so everyone knows that African Americans sometimes refer to themselves with the N word affectionately, does that mean it’s acceptable to non Blacks to do the same? The society doesn’t accept it from non-blacks, so your example is phony. You go to Europe where those words were used and say it too those Jews.

    Of course, Christ wasn’t talking about accepting libel without rebuttal. He was espousing nonviolence in the face of violence. Thank God we’ve got a good Catholic like The Real Rabid Kook to twist scripture to fit his demented purposes.

God damn it, people educate yourself, let’s see how they’d dig themself out of this one.Maybe she’d claim she is now a Poet who is giving new meaning to old phrases, just like she claimed to be like Shakespeare introducing new words.

    Leave it to Palin to make an already bad situation for her, much worse. The comparison of “blood libel” to her invented martyrdom of Conservatives, may just bury her after all. I haven’t even read any reaction to this yet, but she is either ignorant of the disgusting Anti Semitic history attached to the term “blood libel”, or the person who wrote this speech used it knowingly to try and do god knows what.

    I guess now we are going to get to see groups like the ADL and the AIPAC lobby for what they really are, are they going to excuse this because Sarah is “good for Israel” or are they going to hold her to the same standard they hold others who use far less flamed rhetoric.

    I can’t even believe she used “blood libel”, even for an idiot like Sarah Palin that is mindblowing. Is she trying to pick a fight with Jews? Or is she just stupid and doesn’t know what a loaded term that is?

    Welcome to Sarah Palin’s world view:

    “Members of the Ahwatukee Tea Party group did not respond to e-mails seeking comment.

    Miller said when he was a member of McCain’s campaign staff last year has been criticized by the more conservative party members who supported Republican opponent J.D. Hayworth. The first and only African-American to hold the party’s precinct chairmanship, Miller said he has been called “McCain’s boy,” and during the campaign saw a critic form his hand in the shape of a gun and point it at him.

    “I wasn’t going to resign but decided to quit after what happened Saturday,” Miller said. “I love the Republican Party but I don’t want to take a bullet for anyone.”

    What? Sarah’s writers lifted this term from a Beckerhead WSJ article op/ed. Beckerhead didn’t seem to know what it meant either. Blood libel refers to accusation that Jews kill Gentile children and use their blood to make matzos. The Nazis took the concept, expanded it a bit, and used it as the key underpinning for the Shoa. Basically, the murders of the Gentile children, literally and metaphorically, justified the murder of the Jews.

    The LDS concept of blood atonement serves as the justification for the massacre of Gentiles, which to the LDS are mainstream Christians, first at Mountain Meadow, but more generally as well. The massacre of these Gentiles is used a justification of killing them for their own salvation.

    Surely, you consider Nazis to be Anti-Semites. Where did you get your notion?

    This does explain the revulsion of Palin (and Beckerhead) using this heavy term, does it not?

    Thank you for the information re: my identity, I was a little confused there…

    I was making a point that Sarah Palin couldn’t buy milk without fucking up seriously and offending a large portion of America, and you guys would race to the computer to defend her regardless of what she says.

    Which is very weird, considering she’s done almost nothing of substance. It’s like you and those who share your point of view have taken her as your savior and if she suffers the slightest public harm to her image it hurts you personally. Again, very weird. It’s not like she a national politician who fought valiantly for shared beliefs, she’s a TV personality who is very clearly getting rich off of stoking political fires. So what gives?

    I don’t know but he was a “cast of thousands” over at the old Olbermann Watch before Mr Cox revamped the entire thing due in large part to him.

    Mr Cox stated that he had deleted 10,000 – TEN THOUSAND – comments from him under 200+ different names. He usually took liberal personas (male. female and whatever he actually is) but he also had a few illiterate type right wingers.

    His major characters ALWAYS harassed we three ladies there (Cecelia, Sharon and I) and frequently in the most degrading sexual and personal terms. Just a hint of his style are the terms “fag hags”, Nazi sluts and whores and Hag/Bag/gag.

    Our TRRK is a truly pathological contemptible little worm of a man. We’ve all witnessed how he stalks the women here too.

    Palin gave a great speech. It will be compared to Obama’s and it’ll be interesting to see the tone difference between the two.

    That said, this whole thing where Palin is being yelled at for her use of blood libel, is silly. Must we parse every word? There are tons of words that Obama has mispronounced or misused (there is video of these instances). If Palin is to be attacked for her use of defending herself against people calling her an accessory to murder, then Obama should be scrutizined 10x harder.

  • TrollJuice

    Indeed, Jewish groups are taking offense to Palin’s choice of the term. Noting that accusations of blood libel have been “directly responsible for the murder of so many Jews across centuries,” the National Jewish Democratic Council condemned Palin’s use of the term:

    Instead of dialing down the rhetoric at this difficult moment, Sarah Palin chose to accuse others trying to sort out the meaning of this tragedy of somehow engaging in a “blood libel” against her and others. This is of course a particularly heinous term for American Jews, given that the repeated fiction of blood libels are directly responsible for the murder of so many Jews across centuries — and given that blood libels are so directly intertwined with deeply ingrained anti-Semitism around the globe, even today. [...]

    All we had asked following this weekend’s tragedy was for prayers for the dead and wounded, and for all of us to take a step back and look inward to see how we can improve the tenor of our coarsening public debate. Sarah Palin’s invocation of a “blood libel” charge against her perceived enemies is hardly a step in the right direction.

    This is from a Jewish liberal:

    The term “blood libel” has taken on a broad metaphorical meaning in public discourse. Although its historical origins were in theologically based false accusations against the Jews and the Jewish People,its current usage is far broader. I myself have used it to describe false accusations against the State of Israel by the Goldstone Report. There is nothing improper and certainly nothing anti-Semitic in Sarah Palin using the term to characterize what she reasonably believes are false accusations that her words or images may have caused a mentally disturbed individual to kill and maim. The fact that two of the victims are Jewish is utterly irrelevant to the propriety of using this widely used term.

    Because maybe someone will actually take the time to dig below the yawning, yapping emptiness of another wingnut talking point and point out that there are actually deeply disturbing parallels between the poisonous, paranoid, rage-drunk, Big Lie bullshit on which the GOP now completely depends for its hold over its illiterate masses…

    …and the poisonous, paranoid, rage-drunk, Big Lie bullshit on which the medieval Catholic Church that invented the “blood libel” depended for its hold over its illiterate masses.

    Now that Dershowitz, a big-time Liberal professor and Jewish, has chimed in, all the nonsensical “outrage” over blood libel is being shown for what it is: yet another baseless attempt to castigate and denigrate Sarah Palin.

    Please grow up, people.

    This whole sordid exercise dragging Sarah Palin into the actions of one maniac when it’s being proven over and over that the person got zero influence from her is so pathetic, and so shameful. It’s one of the more embarrassing episodes in political discourse I’ve ever witnessed. How do you people sleep who continue to propagate this total bullshit sleep?

    Dozens of Twitter users call for Palin’s death
    A video on YouTube showcases dozens of tweets, sent in the aftermath of Saturday’s Arizona massacre, that call for the death of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
    Some of the Tweeters wish Palin would die of cancer, while others advocate for her assassination.
    “My hatred for Sarah Palin continues to grow. I think this woman should be assassinated,” said one person. “Sarah Palin should be shot for her encouragement of fanaticism against Democrats,” says another.

    Running a red light is not normally a criminal offense, and therefore he could not have been detained beyond his signature unless the cop wanted to go with reckless driving or whatever the Arizona equivalent is. Simply running a red rarely goes that way.

    An amazing response from a great leader. She will make a great president in 2013.

    Her political career is over after that statement she made. I said it last night and I’ll say it again, she should have just shut up. Whatever she would say would make her look more ignorant than what she already is. And she proved me right. Poor little Sarah, she’s just the poor little victim. BS!

  • Jackyboy

    I can’t believe it. First people blame Palin for motivating the shooter into killing 6 people and critically injuring Giffords, now she makes a video defending herself and now people think she is making the situation about her? Really? It’s not like she came out of the blue and made it about her, the people with a political axe to grind made it about her, she has every right to defend herself and her actions.

    This was a great statement from her, very impressed (I just wished she didn’t use the word blood libel since it seems to be everyone is talking about).

    That’s right Sarah, we shouldn’t blame all those who share a political or religious affiliation for the crimes of an individual. This includes blaming ALL MUSLIMS for the actions of a few.

    Yes random TWITTER USERS should be held to same level of accountability as someone wanting to run for President. If TWITTER use is your standard for “responsible public discourse” I might as well vote for Ashton Kutcher, he, too, likes to use Twitter.

    AGAIN, I thought REAL CONSERVATIVES were all about personal accountability. That’s why no one will ever accuse you or Palin of being a REAL conservative.

    Even more proof that he, too, is BANKING on tragedy.

    In fact, Glenn Beck spent today mentioning VAN JONES and GEORGE SOROS names more than he mentioned Gabrielle Giffords or, God forbid, any of the other victim’s names. Obviously VAN JONES is entirely responsible for this tragedy. Or, is it just yet another convenient means for Glenn Beck to target his favorite fear-mongering scapegoats in a bout to prove that he is in no way a fear-mongering tool.

    Irony is never a fake conservatives strong point.

    O’Reilly is NOT banking on this tragedy of politicizing this shooting can be laid right on the door steps of the Liberals and the Liberal Media.

    Over 400 comments and I wonder if anyone has mentioned something very obvious. The comparisons between these two women, Sarah Palin and Gabrielle Giffords. One an exceptionally gifted politician who has a brilliant career and life ahead of her if she recovers from her grievous wounds and the other, Sarah Palin. As John McCain’s career winds down, one of the things he’ll forever be remembered for is inserting Sarah Palin into the American psyche. Poor John McCain who out of desperation elevated Ms Palin into a role she is totally unsuited for, and poor us for having to endure this superficial, and as we’re seeing dangerous person. Hopefully, she’ll soon have her fill of booty and be gone.

    Sarah should tell Chrissy Matthews and all the other extreme left wing wackos over on PMSnbc to just shove it.

    “Sarah Palin seems trapped in a world that is all about confrontation and bravado,” said Matthew Dowd former political adviser to President George W. Bush.

    Mr. Dowd said. “When the country seeks comforting and consensus, she offers conflict and confrontation.”

    Ms. Palin even went on to dismiss suggestions that political speech should be toned done.

    Dang Dan Abrams, where (and why) did you get all these right of center writers for your Mediaite site.

    When you hosted a show on MSNBC (which I seldom missed) you were always fair and balanced – even leaning slightly left and a big defender of Hillary Clinton and the sexism she endured.
