A Livid Sarah Palin Preaches To The Choir (But No One Else) On Tucson Massacre

video
» 333 comments

Sarah Palin may be known as “Mama Grizzly,” a political lightning rod, a published author, and a reality TV star, but tonight on Hannity she was a woman scorned. Pupils shaking and voice struggling to remain steadfast, the former Alaska governor gave defending herself post-Tucson (and post-controversial video response) to Sean Hannity the old college try, but at some point it was hard to remember whether it was Palin or Rep. Gabrielle Giffords who took bullets two weeks ago.

In contrast to the more serene Palin that addressed the nation in her online video earlier this week, the Palin that met Sean Hannity tonight appeared flustered and personally injured. While she insisted repeatedly that “my defense wasn’t self-defense,” she continually noted the threats against her and her family, defended her words personally, and ended her last segment, defiantly, “I’m not going to sit down; I’m not going to shut up.” Even when discussing deranged killer Jared Loughner, she described him as “left-leaning” (Loughner’s only political views, other than loving Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto, appear to be anti-grammar), and, catering to her fans, repeatedly mentioned Providence and quoted the Bible, and made a cringe-worthy attempt at tying in Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to her own plight. She went through a timeline of the Tucson murder as experienced by the Palin household, and, in defense of her use of the phrase “blood libel,”noted that others in the media had used it, too. Hannity, to his credit, pushed her on this point, but she held on to that defense.

Aside from this slightly unsafe political exchange, Hannity did his best to match the gravity of the open wound Palin was bearing on national television with his description of events– those events being the attacks on Palin, not the attack on Giffords. He notably mentioned his Google findings several times (turns out people on the internet criticized Palin) and gives her ample time to describe the scene from her perspective without interruption.

Palin’s course of action during this interview was a perfect strategy from the perspective of a Fox News contributorshe sold her story, played the victim, and equated her suffering with that of the people she claims to represent (Hannity viewers among them). For the rest of America, however– especially swing voters– wallowing in self-pity when six people are dead and a Congresswoman is in the hospital cannot be expected to go over well. Her task tonight, should she be interested in the presidency, was to prove that in times of crisis she could keep her cool and address the situation while looking beyond herself and not getting in the way of the tragedy. Instead, she stood front and center before it, reminding Americans that she– and, vicariously, they– were the true victims of this massacre, not the people that were shot two Saturdays ago. As brilliant as her argument may be as a sales pitch for herself, it was far from presidential, and her enemies are not likely to resist the temptation of chewing on her political remains tomorrow morning.

    I wonder which kid held up the cue cards or maybe it was Todd.

    Gawd…rehearsed much?

    When she had that MLK quote handy when Hannity asked her if she was radioactive I new I was watching an infomercial.

    Another pathetic display by the comedy duo of Hannity and Palin.

    I thought as a country we agreed that we would not politicize this tragic event any longer and tonight half-term frm. Gov. Sarah “Blood Libel” Palin politicizes this event, again.

    Stay classy governor. I hope you do run for president and end up like Barry Goldwater: disgraced and forgotten.

    Moving on. Good for Sarah, she is truly inspiring in these awful times. Shame on those in the media like Jessica Yellin on CNN, all of MSNBC and even Geraldo Rivera on FOX News for not apologizing to Sarah Palin for their false accusations.

    Frances – The guy is left-leaning. The NY Times just had an article about him where it was mentioned that when Jarod saw Bush, he would foam at the mouth.

    “His anger would well up at the sight of President George W. Bush, or in discussing what he considered to be the nefarious designs of government.”

    Frances wrote;

    “Even when discussing deranged killer Jared Loughner, she described him as “left-leaning” (Loughner’s only political views, other than loving Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto, appear to be anti-grammar)”

    1) Let’s see one of his friends in high school said he was a “RADICAL, LIBERAL LEFTISTS” and that was even reported here on Mediaite and on ABC news.

    2) One of Loughner’s friends in an ABC interview stated that Loughner liked watching Zietgeist movies on Youtube…which all happen to be LEFTIST.

    3) Loughner favorited a video of someone burning an American flag.

    4) NYT reported that Loughner would get angry everytime he saw an image of George W. Bush

    5) One of his friends said Loughner believed that Bush and the U.S. Government was behind 9/11

    Wow Frances don’t you even follow the news?

    Frances obviously watched the interview with an opinion already formed. Most of what Frances wrote is just typical far-left talking points. The left, on a daily basis, regurgitates hate & vitriol towards Palin then they get offended when she responds. I’d like to see Frances being linked to a murder by just about every MSM outlet, have people on TV attacking her teenage children, and constantly being the recipient of death threats. Lets see how Frances would handle it. But, as has been demonstrated previously, Frances is nothing but a far-left kook. Therefore, his/her response is pretty typical and unsurprising.

    This site is a joke and these writers are not real reporters, but Democratic operatives.

    Notice there is NO story about how the night before Olbermann was tweeting how great the guy who went off and made a death threat.

    NONE…NADA…NIL

    That was big and yet there is no mention of Keith Olbermann saying he stands by the crazy guy who made the death threat.

    A FOX PAC interview of Palin doesn’t even qualify as “slow pitch” softball — it’s more akin to a game of T-ball. 

    So what insights into Sarah’s psyche were elucidated from this compelling, newsworthy interview? Palin can do no wrong … according to Palin.
     
    Of course, the majority of Americans in both parties now wish that the Whining Wannabe from Wasilla would quietly go away, but hey, the sycophants on FOX News still love her, so it’s all good.

Her task tonight, should she be interested in the presidency, was to prove that in times of crisis she could keep her cool and address the situation while looking beyond herself and not getting in the way of the tragedy.”

    For the tten thousand google results that Hannity got for “Sarah Palin, Tucson tragedy”, I suggest for Sarah Palin that we substitute the name “Francis Martel”.

    From here on out, we should be discussing the linkage of Francis Martel with mass murder, rather than Sarah Palin.

    Oh, it’s true that the president a president has invoked Rush Limbaugh, several times, and complained about Limbaugh’s criticism his administration. We a federal agency that fired Shirley Sherrod, due to … someone’s… concerns about what Glenn Beck might say about a video.

    But rest assured, Francis Martel could take all that and more.

    So when we’re talking about the IMMENSE focus on Sarah Palin, after the murders of 9 people, by a guy who can’t be connected to anything but madness, let’s substitute the name Francis Martel for Sarah Palin’s.

    She won’t mind. Francis is certainly not going to play the victim in this story.

    And goodness knows, she doesn’t really have to.

    On a similar note, I just vomited watching Keith’s Special Comment praising himself as one of only two people who actually apologized for past rhetoric.

    Keith, when you start bragging about apologizing it kinda negates the apology to begin with. How much fucking credit do you want to give yourself for not doing the wrong thing?

    Out of them all, Keith is the one with the biggest and blindest ego.

    What do we expect from a left leaning hater of Palin, the first few sentences were already so wrong, she was strong, totally in control and to listen to her its so different from how the press describes her, Frances you watched this interview with your mind already made up, you did not see the interview with a clear head, you hate her as most here at mediate and you actually lied, she did not look at all like you said. go back and look at it with a clear, fresh mind if you can, doubt it. And by the way she spoke the truth about the media, she was targeted, oh excuse me for using that word, but she was from the beginning from all the loony, left liberal blogs, what that loon from daily kos said was a travesty, just showed how crazy they are, and the media ignores it. Don’t blame Palin one bit for finally defending herself.

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 immature, unformed person. Hopefully, she’ll soon have her fill of booty and be gone. I’m sure what I’m saying will upset my rightwing blogcomrades. I really don’t hate Sarah Palin, but I do resent that the corrupted political system and the gullibility of my fellow American allows the Sarah Palins and George Bushes to gain so much prominence.

  • jamesphilip

    Frances Martel proves again that a liberal can get swim ever deeper into the sewer. Frances Martel starts the bile and hate in the headline with the word “livid” which is a total misrepresentation of what Palin was saying.
    I won’t waste my time going through this collection of cow dung, but will say that Frances now joins Tommy Christopher as a twin in the Palin hating coming from this web site.
    I now will delete this site from my bookmarks and wish the scum and sleaze balls on this site a happy life practicing hate and bile and hope that they all develop puss filed scabs that ooze all day. This imagery fits with my image of Frances and Tommy…. two individuals with puss filled sores and scabs all over, spewing bile and hate and reveling in it. Typical warped liberals with no shame.

    It shouldnt have come to this. Poor lady shouldnt have to defend herself against those vicious attacks from so called journalists. This is really a bad precedent for any politician to engage in controversial political debate, I.e. Health care and current foreign policy. Then again, woudnt it have served her better if she hadn’t been so hellbent in proving that only she cares for America and the rest of the democratic party wants to destroy the union?

  • da-wdc

    Every critique of Palin isn’t bile and hate, you know. She’s a public figure. She’s a politician. Her response to the Tucson shooting wasn’t very adept, politically. When six people are killed and many more shot, including a member of Congress, Palin is not the victim and she shouldn’t try to make the story about her.

    Sure, lots of people on the internet immediately referenced that graphic from her website, as if she had intended for this to happen. But her rhetoric has been incredibly over-the-top and it’s fair to critique that. She could have responded to the Tucson shootings in a way that showed more respect instead of focusing mostly on herself and how she’s been wronged, yet again.

    It’s strange how callous most people would never care about the security of Sarah Palin and her family while accusing them of playing a part in the shooting of Rep; Giffords. Imagine if someone have to accuse President B. Obama of contributing to the 9/11 massacre ’cause he opposed the war in Iraq? There are journalist on the left who would go to any length to assassinate the character of anyone who dare oppose President Obama or would be a force in derailing his re-election.
    Obama camp have always used people in the media to put strong opponents on the defensive while making in-roads in wining public approval. No one cares that the lives of Beck, Palin and co are being endangered while accusing them of things they have no part in. Remember during the presidential primaries when these same tactics was used on the Clintons? Different segments of people in high position where used as surrogates to disparage the Clintons… they were called racists, pimps, radioactive, divisive, thieves, murderers etc. MSNBC was largely used as medium to spread and assassinate their characters. 2012 presidential election is coming up and now the usual suspects are up to their old tricks.
    The right must and should find ways to link poverty in urban areas, murders in urban areas to President Obama’s failure to have a tangible plan to combat them. Republicans must find ways to always, always, repeat always link President Obama to any bad thing. The idea is accuse him of all kind of things and hopefully something sticks. The Obama camp will also spend time trying to defend themselves while the right can have easier time to win the hearts of electorates.
    It’s hard to fathom that the likes of Sen; Manchin (Democrat of West Virginia) would make political commercials in which he used a gun to shoot at a policy he promised to oppose President Obama on… and the professional left would not use it as an example of fuming violent political rhetoric while accusing Palin of such.
    Long live the President of the United States! Long live President Obama!!!

  • kflynn

    I tend to find Martel more righty than lefty, but as a guy who has pretty much constant disdain for Palin I’ll say this: I thought she comported herself quite well. I see some of Martel’s points, but I think she makes too much of them at times; on balance, Palin did one of the best jobs she’s done in front of the camera.

    It’s astounding. You have Pres Obama in speeches mentioning the criticism of Rush Limbaugh, at least twice. You have Shirley Sherrod getting fired over what Glenn Beck might say.

    Hmm…accusing someone of vitriol while doing it in the same post. Hypocrite much?

    NONE…NADA…NIL

    That was big and yet there is no mention of Keith Olbermann saying he stands by the crazy guy who made the death threat.

    However, you have a week long mediapalooza linking Palin to a schizophrenic who shot sixteen people and after there’s no link found, she’s supposed to be non-solipsistic and say— I acknowledge your drift, media….

  • DoremusJessup20

    If you take into account all of the coincidences – Gabriel Giffords statements prior to the shooting, her desire to tone down the rhetoric and work together constructively; Loughner’s seizing onto political rhetoric, his apparent obsession with grammar necessary for communicating with one another; Palin’s cross hair map, certain pols tendency to use language to tap fear and anger for motivation; If I were a religious person I’d consider this a sign.

    I hope Sarah Palin recovers from this tragedy.

    Also, Debbie Wasserman Schulz attended (as a friend of Giffords, of course) and she is one of the most partisan Democrats that constantly attacks (in a rude way) Republicans so I don’t think that the D’s have a lot of legs to stand on concerning this matter.

    I agree she took some unfair heat but I don’t think it was as bad as it’s being painted. Discussing her map and the fact that Giffords was just speaking about it, is not blaming her.

Does anyone with any sort of connection to reality really think that the crosshair graphic was incitement to violence? Of those who do (who I’d consider not in their right minds) how many of them think Sarah Palin put that graphic together and posted it? I’d bet that 100% of them would also tell you that every word she speaks, tweets or Facebooks is written for her.

    I agree with you totally. this whole thing is more about mental illness than gun control or language/visuals.

    But the point is after the media fucked up by laying blame. In my opinion as well as others all she had to do was address it. Look she took the map down and all she had to say that basically as he did ….in retrospect I have taken the map down as it may have not been the wisest of choices to use. You know these are my words but some thing to that affect. She would have came out looking a much better person. But number one she waited (aside from some facebook posting that more people than not did not see it) and then made it all about her after yes, she was crucified for 4 days. and then had to do it again tonight and in my opinion she failed again.

    So, saying those hits are blaming her is pure bullshit.

    And who did that, Dan? Her point is that there is that much discussion in which she is linked with these shootings, despite the fact that she had exactly nothing to do with them until the left wing hyenas started howling. And now she’s forever linked to them, not because of any fault on her part, but because people who carry insane hatred for her couldn’t wait to find some blood to smear her with. So, facts be damned, some bodies hit the ground and they pulled the knives out on Palin. And Beck, and Limbaugh, and Angle, et al. But mostly and especially Palin.

    Yeah, but why? She has nothing to apologize for, obviously. So why should she decry some dopey graphic on her PAC site, just because a gaggle of lunatics lost their minds over it? Does anyone with any sort of connection to reality really think that the crosshair graphic was incitement to violence? Of those who do (who I’d consider not in their right minds) how many of them think Sarah Palin put that graphic together and posted it? I’d bet that 100% of them would also tell you that every word she speaks, tweets or Facebooks is written for her.

    It’s called class. Now, Pablo, did you not give me her posting on Facebook that she supposedly made about her hearfelt sadness of the tragedy? And I was suppose to believe she did that, right?

    Palin was attacked. The attack, cruel, unfounded and fraudulent. The Blood Libel comparison she used was accurate, well stated and just as well delivered as any teleprompter message ever delivered by Obama. Rabbi’s have confirmed the use of Blood Libel was appropriate. http://tinyurl.com/6dpdxv8 A teleprompter was a wise choice given the importance of the statement, and the use of writers was also wise. Reasonable people who actually watched the message know she was not focused on herself, and that it was completely appropriate. All the noise (objecting to it) simply illustrates to reasonable people that there is something deeply wrong with our brothers on the left. May God have mercy on their demented souls.

    She obviously didn’t know what it means. She said she saw it in a Washington Post column and borrowed it without really knowing what it meant or where it was most heinously utilized. It just sounded good, just like “don’t retreat, reload” and “lame stream media” sounds GOOD to her sycophantic fans whether they make any sense or at all sensible or not.

    She can’t keep spewing willfully ignorant talking points or using irresponsible images and then blame it on someone else, especially someone else in her own camp. If she can’t control her own rhetoric, then she’s not fit to lead.

    What I gt from the interview is that Palin was clearly upset and you could actually see it (I would be too if someone accused me of murder and I had nothing to do with it). I really don’t think the critique of her playing the victim here is totally fair. Listen, you had an entire group of people inject Palin into the story, and you’re mad when she decides to defend herself? What was she supposed to do, shut up and take it?

    Palin was not the one who moved the focus, her critics did. Do I think it was worth it for Palin to respond? In the short run no and in long run we don’t know yet, but this argument to try and blame Palin for the shooting is dead and done.

    As far as your car tax talk, I totally get where you’re coming from. But the legal side of me is telling me that if you make personal accounts for cars, you’re gonna have A LOT of lawsuits with an already overburdened legal system.

This is why each week they find something ridiculous with which to impugn her character and to throw red meat to the far-left trolls so they can frenzy feed on hatred.

    Ok…Palin in a somewhat nutshell:

    The gays love her…conservative gays that is.
    She wouldn’t have voted for the START Treaty.
    She doesn’t like the health care bill….AT ALL.
    She would’ve extended the Bush tax rates for eternity.
    She’s Pro-Life.
    She would be drilling or efficiently putting the paperwork and people in place to make that happen years from now.
    And she’d probably tackle social security along with jobs.
    Oh and she’s strict on immigration…to a point. I think she wants a guest worker program or at least would be reasonable about the fact that there are people here.

    And I tend to blame aides for my major f-ups just like Sarah Palin does. BTW, the aides that helped her prepare for her debate with Biden in 2008 now say that she was hopelessly unprepared and uneducated about basic facts. You’re right, in this instance we should believe words of AIDES. Especially those no longer on her payroll and who have nothing to lose.

    Sarah Palin’s media strategy of “I’m rubber, you’re glue” does not appear to be working. Time for sarah palin to unleash “I know you are, but what am I?”

This thread has a lot of disgusting male hormone reaction to what was simply an interview of a political figure who is female. A very effective, sincere, presentable, and articulate political figure. She represents many of our beliefs and political ideology yet stayed very focused on Sean’s questions. There was NO self pity and she repeatedly said this is not about me to make it clear she understands that political motives from the left want to destroy the messages of her and other conservatives.

Sarah spent the first five minutes in memory of the victims, yet the nasty half-wits and slanderers on the left ignore reality—always a strange concept for these unhinged demented ideologues—and say that Sarah is making it all about herself.

    So many homely, untalented, second-rate failed feminists on the left who are barren and botoxed to the hilt—they all HATE Sarah because she’s good-looking, young, and has a wonderful future ahead of her.

    NPR started saying that the murders were Palin’s fault within two hours of the breaking news—no Juan Williams there as a firebreak to stop the flames of this raging firestorm of ignorance and hatred on the left. The new Congress will defund these agitpreppies ASAP and Soros and other treasonous Bolshies will pick up the slack in no time flat. Hyenas like Brokaw and Maher and the thankfully dead Peter Jennings, who gets an honorary grave-pissing for just being such a sodhole on these issues, are all guilty of zero journalism and 100% stupidity. As is Frances Martel, a truly third-rate excuse of a journalist.

    BS We watched it and didn’t get that impression at all. She was focused and didn’t get all bubbly and smiley because as she said we should be thinking of those suffering victims in Tucson. She was firm on the topic of where the concern and focus SHOULD BE. She is honest and would have simply stated it makes her angry to have threats on her family. She did not and instead refered to Timothy scripture that is the OPPOSITE of anger.
    Her firmness in stating that she will not be shut up with threats or lies could be assumed to be anger, but it came across as firm resolve. She was in perfect control. Bill Mahyer’s recent comments are an example of TV anger against conservatives and TeaParty representatives. You are another example of assumptions about her and ascribing ficticious characteristics that are a product of your mind, not what was demonstrated by voice or words in the interview.

    Don’t Lie Mr.Puke. The first five minutes was exclusively on victims and she referred back to them many times during the interview. She did not talk about herself. She answered the questions she was asked and made a point to say her responses were on behalf of ALL who had been blood libeled. She knows the meaning and she used it precisely and exactly the way the term is routinely used. You are a tool here and a pretty lousy one at that. You write like Martel. hmmmm what a coincidence.

Even when she was answering the question about it’s meaning, she stumbled around like an unprepared high school student BSing their way through an answer on an essay exam.

    She answered it and made it clear that it was an analogy. Also, that she isn’t the first to use the analogy:

    “Jim Geraghty has pointed out, American commentators on both the left and the right have long used the term “blood libel” as an analogy–often with far less justification. In addition, Jews and Israelis commonly use the term in discussing unfair accusations in the context of debates about the Middle East and other issues”.

    But then, you all are too ignorant to know an analogy when it hits you.

    She went on a liberal network to discuss political dissent. I am sorry that her office was vandalized but since she’s a moderate, she probably was in one of the more “passionate” districts politically.

    I think the rhetoric is going to get worse. You can’t have a President and an entire media institution claim millions of people as accessories to murder and expect them all to react nicely.

    Obama gave a decent speech. However, he didn’t give any one-liners that you’re going to be talking about years from now. Obama had the ability to lead with his own rhetoric by calling out his base, but he failed. It’s really as simple as that. I’d expect the same on the Republican side if the President was a Republican.

    You’re still siggesting that she should have done EXACTLY WHAT SHE DID. Apparently, you’re not paying attention.

    So I didn’t hear him tell her he googled her and came up with 10,000 hits linking her with the shooting? I believe I did.

    Here is part of the transcript of the interview with Hannity…You wanted to know where the video was posted. Not going to watch it again, maybe this will suffice.

    HANNITY: Governor, I Googled your name and I put in the words, Sarah Palin Tucson shooting. And it came up nearly 10,000 times in 10,000 instances where you connected to this. When did you first realize you were being connected to this tragedy?

    And Pablo,

    Facebook does not count. Not everyone has an account. I watched Sat-Tues CNN and Fox, mostly Fox because they had the better coverage. I never once heard them mention her Facebook posting to the AZ tragedy.

    That’s where she posted that graphic that was supposed to be responsible for this. And it’s also where she posted that video last Wednesday. So how can that not count? You didn’t hear about that video on the news?

    Not everybody has a TV. Not everybody has cable. Not everybody has a computer. Do those not count?

    Yes, We agree on that. But it isn’t the question we were talking about. Let’s review:

    CosmosDan said:
    So, saying those hits are blaming her is pure bullshit.

    See the part about whether they’re blaming her? That’s the question I was addressing. Hannity did not say they were. You can stop posting that he said he got 10,000 hits connecting her to the story. We know that. It is true. What Hannity did not say, and what I said he did not say was that all those hits are blaming her.

    So, CosmosDan said what I quoted above. I asked him who did that. You replied that Hannity did and I’m telling you he didn’t. Now, either find Hannity saying that all of those links blamed her for the shooting or find something else to talk about. I’m all done with the tail chasing on the subject.

  • MiddleRoader

    Actually it was Cecelia that said the 10,000 hits blamed her. Now technically you are correct..Hannity did not use the word blame. But all week long that is what the right has been claiming that the left was blaming. So ….hence that is how I put the connection together.

    As far as facebook. Whatever. I don’t consider that a major source to get news information. I guess I should know better when it comes to Palin since she hides from all other sources except Fox, Facebook and Twitter. See, she just really isn’t that important to me. So…I don’t follow her every word to want to go to facebook or do the twitter thing with her (or anyone for that matter).

    And again, I will repeat. I have never personally linked her with the shootings and don’t believe it was correct for anyone else to have done so.

    I just think she showed little compassion and was more worried about her ass. I’m intitled to my opinion as you are of yours.

    That’s fine. I saw a post from you on another thread that said I hadn’t shown the video to you yet. So I thought I’d look for it.

    Another hateful, untrue article about Sarah Palin.I’ve come to realize how sexist left-wingers are, even female left wingers – women are supposed to shut up and stay in their place!

    Excuse me. YOU stay in your place in the storm sewer to which you surely belong. You do not make sense defending Palin’s responses then tell OTHER women to stay in their place? WTF are you smoking?

    I would absolutely love it if Sarah Palin becomes president, just to watch her fail.

    YOUR opinion is retarded when the fact is Hannity asked her the questions ABOUT HER and she answered them repeatedly stating in her response that it isn’t about HER it is about the victims and the right for all famous and infamous persons to speak out. What was she supposed to say….”I refuse to answer that question Sean because it is about me, not about the messiah obama speech”.. and I know Middle-of the road- killer will expect me to refuse to answer”.? Get a grip and a life….the fence you pretend to straddle is wearing through to your two tiny brain lobes…..Palin-aphobic

    The left has been blaming her. That’s how she suddenly became a central part of a story that she had no connection at all to.

    As far as facebook. Whatever. I don’t consider that a major source to get news information. I guess I should know better when it comes to Palin since she hides from all other sources except Fox, Facebook and Twitter.

    And Oprah, and the NYT and ABC News… But really, if you don’t know that Palin is creating national news from her Facebook page, you ought to catch up. I can hardly imagine how you can come anywhere near following the news on her and still be unaware of her Facebook posts.

    329 comments for this nutty bitch. She can’t even have a news conference because she’s afraid someone might ask her to point out Alaska on the map. Sean Hannity – are you kidding me??

    She’s apparently a huge threat to the liberals and that’s why they keep her in the news.
