Barbara Walters: ‘Unfair To Blame Sarah Palin As Some Are Doing’

lol
Way to go Babs

‘
What followed was a relatively sober and reflective discussion about the heated political climate in which we know find ourselves.

oh for christ sakes,,
i am sick of this rhetoric too!
you know,, if you shove legislation down peoples throat,,
IT’S GONNA GET HEATED!!!!

I guess Baba doesn’t want to get caught up like Stephy did and blame Palin for this, when no such blame makes any sense whatsoever.

Tapper got is right, the rest of ABC didn’t. Just like NBCMSNBCCBSCNNNYTIMESETC all laid blame at Palin’s feet, now that the Sherrif has been proven WRONG and is being protected by the media for what he knew and didn’t act upon, the media has embarrassed themselves beyond words.

They disgust me and I would hope that this pack of lies and garbage they have pushed will result in the end of them, they no longer deserve our trust, respect or anything else. Every last one of them needs to be blown out of the water for their falsehoods and their outright lies.

The enemedia indeed. Everyone of them owes an apology to the tea party and to Palin and to the public for their distortions and trash. It is time for the mainstream media to take its place in the dustbin of history, they have destroyed themselves.

Who cares what any of these women think ?

Now today a lot of accounts from people who knew him are coming out that he hated Palin and often talked about her in a negative tone and talked about abortion being something good. I dont think Palin would influence this guy. He sounds more inline with the liberal though process.

Good for Babs, I’d give you a Mediaite thumbs up if I could. Need more like her speaking the truth.

Liberty Sister,
That’s true, but this is what the left does. Before anything was known about him, they tried to pin in on Palin. They know, even though she had nothing to do with it, you can’t unring that bell. They are counting on the uninformed population to just believe whatever they say. That’s just how they roll. The truth means nothing to them. It’s win at ALL costs.

That will most likely earn her a trip to the Physco Zone
or Worst Person or both.
Good Lord what nuts on the left.
Rhetoric last 48 hours here from leftwing nuts have made the shooter
seem look sane by comparison!

Barbara just wants to get the interview.
Where is Palin? Haven’t heard from her in a few days. Oh! I forgot, she emailed Glenn Beck. Nothing like going right to the bottom of the journalistic ladder.

Targeting Political Districts, States and/or
Opponents has been in Campaign Spin
from both sides since George Washington,
you fools!

Ultimately the blame for this falls squarely in one spot,on the killer’s forehead,and no where else.

I feel bad for Rep. Giffords, all the other people that were shot and their families.

Where is Joy Behar? Why isn’ that hateful low life on the show? Isn’t she the one who keeps calling Sarah Palin a bitch and almost every show has something negative to say about her or her kids? Or on her own show brings on a continuous line of guests to crap all over Sarah?
The View is a bunch of women sitting around bitching about things and one thing they bitch about is Sarah Palin. So, Barbara Walters, your hateful rhetoric on your show is to blame for a lot of the vitriol out there. You are the one responsible for people hating Sarah Palin. Your hateful bitching all the time and your Whoopi bitchers and your Joy Behar bitchers are responsible for a lot of the hateful rhetoric.

Look in the mirror. It is you.

Rox, give it a rest. You guys jumped the shark on this and now the actual truth is coming out:

Jared Lee Loughner was a registered independent, didn’t vote in 2010 election
By Chris Cillizza
Suspected Tucson gunman Jared Lee Loughner registered as an independent voter in Arizona in the fall of 2006, according to the Pima County Registrar of Voters.

Loughner registered to vote on Sept. 29, 2006, identifying himself as an independent. Records show he voted in the 2006 and 2008 elections but is current listed as “inactive” on the state’s voter roles — meaning that he did not vote in November.

The political affiliations of Loughner, who is being charged by state and federal authorities with the shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) as well as 19 other victims outside a Tucson grocery store on Saturday, have become the subject of a white-hot partisan debate in recent days.

In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, liberals sought to paint Loughner as an anti-government, tea party conservative. Conservatives retorted that Loughner lacked anything close to a coherent political philosophy — a case strengthened by subsequent glimpses into his personal life that suggests someone struggling with mental illness.

Loughner’s decision to affiliate as an independent rather than a Republican or Democrat would seem to affirm the sense that while he targeted Giffords in the attack, it was not a decision born of a set of deeply held political beliefs that fit neatly into either party.

Babs, you know palin is evil!,

Extremely unfair. This crazy leftist spin from the media has its own agenda.

Loughner was a colaborator of Rep. Giffords back in 2007. He had a letter in wich she thanked him for political participation. The guy was a leftist and a lunatic.

You mean this kind of spin? Can you spot the common denominator in the list below? Yeah, Liberals are dangerous!

Friday, March 19: Mike Vanderboegh of Pinson, Alabama, the former leader of the Alabama Constitutional Militia, puts out a call for modern “Sons of Liberty” to break the windows of Democratic Party offices nationwide in opposition to health care bill.
Friday morning: Brick thrown through the Niagra Falls office of Rep. Louise Slaughter, who was also receiving threatening voice mail messages referring to a sniper.
Friday night or Saturday morning: Brick thrown through the Democratic Party headquarters window in Wichita, Kansas with anti-Obama rhetoric written on it.
Saturday, March 20: Brick thrown through the window of the Rochester, NY Democratic headquarters. Attached is a note with a Barry Goldwater quote: “Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.”
Sunday, March 21: A fist sized rock thrown through the window of the Hamilton County Democratic Party headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio after the health care bill passes.
Sunday, March 21: Front door of Gabby Giffords office smashed out, presumably by a brick or a pellet gun.
Monday, March 22: Propane gas line severed at the house of Tom Periello’s brother by a self-identified Tea Party activist who believed Periello lived there.
Following the health care vote: Bart Stupak receives a fax with with a drawing of a noose and an anonymous voice mail saying: “You’re dead. We know where you live. We’ll get you.” Betsy Markey receives telephone threats of violence. A man threatens to burn down John Boccieri’s house.

OMG! It’s the radical Independent fringe element!

Seriously, this fact will get buried by the left.

Rox, I’ve posted a ton of similar things done by those on the left. Why are you keen on this being a right wing tragedy when it clearly isn’t? Give it up, you guys got it wrong. You need to admit that now. The longer you keep pushing this meme, the more ridiculous you look.

Good job, Barbara and everyone else.

Keep mentioning Palin in conjunction with this story so Americans will realize she should not be blamed for this shooting but that she was one of the worst practitioners of the vile, angry and hateful rhetoric that is hurting this country.

That’s all I ask.

=====================

It is not a right wing tragedy, it is a Tea Party tragedy. Aren’t y’all always saying you have republican, democrat and independents that make up the Tea Party?

It is nice to know more people are sticking to the facts of the situation instead of making their own conclusions. Palin is a lot of things but until we get evidence saying otherwise, she is in no way responsible for this.

I tend to agree with Ms. walters. This was not Palin’s fault. But, she has shamelessly and irresponsibly pandered to groups of gun nuts, over and over again. The amount of slack I will cut her is limited. In any event, she is now toxic, and I suspect the RNC is going to end up being the haz-mat boys. No responsible Republican is going to want her near. She needs to look for reality shows for her children to appear in now, lest you fade from our memory. Any chance she can revivie “Alaska’s Sara Palin”?

A sound strategy.

The loud, shrill, irrational angst of her nutty followers so evident today on Mediaite attests to that.

I hope this puts a nail in the coffin of Palin’s presidential aspirations.

“Palin is a lot of things but until we get evidence saying otherwise, she is in no way responsible for this.” Palin is a shameless opportunist who will say or do anything for power and greed. It is only for this reason that she has repeatedly employed violent rhetoric in the past. Of course, she is not guilty of this crime, but she helps to create the toxic political environment that allows for these crimes to take place.

I fouund an article on Politics Daily about how Palin deleted all of her posters messages on Facebook after the shooting. One was left and was found.

This is the comment.

“It’s ok. Christina Taylor Green was probably going to end up a left wing bleeding heart liberal anyway,” King wrote. “Hey, as ‘they’ say, what would you do if you had the chance to kill Hitler as a kid? Exactly.”

I agree but she is far from the only one. I am hoping that some of it will stop. But then I always try to be positive.

You are right Michele both sides are wrong. Both sides do this. Have you decided to take a look at yourself and your part in all of this? I have!

Just so no one forgets what has been done to Sarah Palin by the liberals… for two (2) years…
you know, those loving, open and welcoming, accepting, “rainbow coalition” and “it takes a village” liberals…

Everyone knows that Palin had absolutely nothing to do with the shooting in Arizona. This is simply a poor attempt by progressives to exercise Rahm Emanuel’s battle cry, “Never let a tragedy go unexploited”. Nice try, but you’ve been outed. So, it’s now time for you LW’s and progressives to stop the hate. Think of your children and stop your hate filled rants. It will be interesting to see who will be the first to attack me with accusations and name calling. I hope when you spew your vile and hate that before you click submit you let your children read what you have written.
