Sarah Palin accuses critics of "blood libel"

j-mac said:
Just wondering Doc, and the same question posed for the Good Rev. whom I agree with a great deal of the time, Should speech be limited?

Other than the "fire in a theatre" scenario, no. speech should not be limited.... though as I said before, some folks do indeed need to STFU... I just can't do anything about it.. :mrgreen:
 
It's not Blood Libel if it's true. recently, Wikileaks got a hold of Palin's Matzah recipe and it clearly indicated that she used the blood of young Christian children to add that extra mavericky kick.

Thank you. Both sides should just admit that they have been too hateful and shake hands and be done with it.

Translation: Liberals look horrifyingly bad right now, so can we please have a do-over?

Nope. Good luck with all that.

No, that would be the sheriff, Bill Maher, Keith Olbermann, CNN, ABC, CBS, and your party's elected officials.

People like me are what keep Castro from eventually taking over.

Taking... over... what?
 
I wasn't aware that anything in this world happened in a vacuum. Yes, the shooter is ultimately responsible for his own actions. But unless you explore what set this person off, you'll never be able to prevent such an event in the future. We are all affected by the world around us. I think that the violence in our discourse certainly changes the perception of real violence is slightly more acceptable. Someone was pushed over the line. This is not to suggest that politics have ever been devoid of violence. Assassination, warfare, torture, coups... Violence has always been a primary method of achieving political goals. However, in this country, we have elections instead. I haven't been able to find a whole lot of information about the particular reasons, as stated by the shooter, for why this attack took place. I think that would be the most telling evidence.

Thanks for the answer. What is interesting is the dichotomy of answers to my question. You gave an answer of essentially no, while the good Doctor, said only "it depends"......

It shouldn't depend on anything!

I think myself and the Good doctor, said basically the same thing.

I was responding to one of the "you people" accusations, which liberals are immune to criticism on these days for some reason.

The point was pretty simple, and I'm not taking the distraction bait you're laying out.

Defend your party in this. It's actually quite amusing.

I was responding to a "you people" comment.

You know, the ones that liberals are allowed to throw out but conservatives can't?

And yes, mindless, "government-help-me" types fall for the Lenins, Trotskys, Chavezes, Castros, and Hitlers of the world. They vote for community organizers with one-sentence resumes, too.

Well, not quite....Now don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem per se with Dr. Patrick, although we have scrapped in the past on other issues, he is an educated man, and I may not agree with his opinion, I do value it.

But the facts are, you are seeing that you and he answered the same to my question when clearly the answers are...

It depends on the situation.

Those answers are not the same. Now you can say that your caveat of 'fire in a theater' is what it depends on, but I would argue that the good Doc, left it so vague as to leave a question to that.

Just an observation.

well quote me fully. "fire in a theatre" could very well be what he means by "it depends".....


If I were a betting man, that's where I would place my bet.
 
I swear, what the hell is going on? Liberals started the fight...why are they mad when they get countered? Sarah Palin had every right to correct the left wing bull sh*t that people like Krugman or whatever the f*ck his name is and the nut jobs on here are pertpetuating. If you are mad about her defending herself, then you are the problem.

Possibly, and now that its out there for an easy escape to explain himself further, that is the take he will present no doubt. I did ask immediately after he posted that, but no answer. He might be else where. It's really not a big deal, other that to present the subtle ways that liberals, or excuse me, "other" or "Independant" cajole conservatives out of their principles.

This tragedy is now bringing calls for civility while liberals at the same time have increased their outrageous statements against conservatives, The Sheriff being just one who is doing this, and we as conservatives are in some cases taking the bait.

I think she is right to defend herself. The hyperbole of the Golem chronicles, doesn't help her though.

Nice! metaphor. It would've been a simile if you had used "like" or "as".
