As for me, I'm just pissed.

Tell me why this isn't crying fire in a crowded theater, Caribou Barbie and your band of teabaggers:



Palin posted similar shit on her own sites, all of which is being scrubbed as we speak.

I hope she can see Gabrielle Giffords' funeral from her house:P

I wonder if she'll feel any guilt about her part in the hate-inciting rhetoric that led to this?

My heart is aching for you all right now... the amount of hatred being spewed down there (on both sides, but primarily Right Wing) is agonizing to watch... I can't imagine living in it.

"I wonder if she'll feel any guilt about her part in the hate-inciting rhetoric that led to this?" No.

Definitely no. She probably sees zero connection at all.

She removed her gunsight map from her website (or her people did) so she sees the connection.

I'm sure she didn't do it herself. I'm sure her staff sees the connection and took action, but I would bet money she personally doesn't think she has any responsibility in this.

She probably thinks she's being victimized herself- just like she was the victim in all those pesky ethics violation charges brought against her in Alaska.

I saw her book in Wegmans on a display table the other night and I considered either burying it in the stacks or making some more overt political statement about it. Eventually, though, I decided that gesture would be lost on the crowd there. Since I need to get fish tank filters at Wally World, I next considered grabbing a bunch of her books there and moving them over to the gun section, but, alas, they're probably already selling briskly over there already- and likely more so now:(

I don't get why guns and hate are so easily strewn around. You can be taught to respect a firearm. Why cannot the same moral value be extended to people?

What happened to debate? Compromise? Humanity?

I can't see that from my house.

I love being American and say so where I live abroad. But when all the hate is spewed out this way, it is hard to see the skeptical looks when I do. Or worse, the pity or scorn if they associate me with Palin. The rest of the world is watching us like a bad reality show.

I am sick over this whole thing.
When someone is as bat-shit insane as this guy, it's hard to tell what would set him off. Until we learn more about him, I am not going to blame anyone or any ideological group as of yet.

But when I left an appeal for elevated dialogue on a local Tea-Party blog, I got answers like this:

"I am quite sure most contributors on this blog are not only horrified but, deeply saddened at the recent events in Arizona. But, to stop dialogue and make people leave out certain phrases and words only contributes to heighten levels of fear.

Saying things like “taking our country back”, “going to battle for our country” are not violent words, and should not be associated with violence, bigotry, racism."

- I said nothing about bigotry or racism
- "taking our country back" and "going to battle for our country" aren't violent words?
- leaving out phrases like "going to battle" etc. would HEIGHTEN levels of fear?????

Complete. Utter. Disconnect.
