No doubt she is raising a glass as we speak here since it keeps her in another news cycle.
 
*sigh* It's not like anyone is going to kill her though.

Translation: "I have issues when 'hateful rhetoric' causes 'dangerous situations', based on the level of evidence I clearly required in the arizona case, only when it helps me attack political opponents"

Then it wouldn't be "hateful rhetoric" causing a "dangerous atmosphere" that "leads to violence" when the "Soup boils over". Then it would be "Chickens coming home to roost".

obviously.

Rhetoric must be toned down on all fronts. There are a great many things to debate, intelligently, without suggesting that our 2nd amendment is a solution.

Naming names will only add to the ire. Who is not the point (it was not Palin), but it was said during 2010 campaign and it was not productive, only inflammatory. ... you can find it on the net, if you wish. Google "2nd amendment remedies", if you must.
 
I um, thought all conservatives were too busy explaining how inflammatory rhetoric was never partly responsible for crazy people doing violence. Too busy, that is, to be involved in threads where they would be claiming that what people say have consequences, some times dire ones. So, I would just be wondering what conservatives might be doing in this thread.

Im sure its the conservatives doing it and pretending to be non-conservatives. Ya'll LOVE making things up. Alas dont worry apdst.... Sarah is just a fembot that Karl Rove made ;)
 
Comments about Sarah Palin can get her shot...

However her rhetoric and comments can't get anybody else shot....

I guess she has a monopoly on getting shot for what somebody says about her....

That's like...

Blood libel right?

absolutely - she IS the queen of drama

but there is NO room in American politics for physical threats. those who violate such be punished to the highest degree
 
I figgered the Libs would swoop in here telling us that this is, "different".

Then you "figgered" wrong (or can't read very well).

What we're saying is that it's ironic that in one breath, Palin says words don't make a difference and had nothing to do with threats of violence. Then in the next, she says "the liberal media's words" are causing her to suffer death threats.

The only way to miss that irony is to not understand it or to wear blinders.

Go ahead, "name names". Show me a specific quote of someone suggesting that 2nd amendment remedies was something they thought of as a "solution".

Hateful rhetoric inspires dangerous situations and atmospheres.

Hateful rhetoric by palin can get a congresswoman shot.

However, baseless comments regarding Palins culpability with regards to the tragedy in Arizona are perfectly okay.

I guess the left has a monopoly on defining "hateful rhetoric" and "dangerous atmosphere" so that it only applies when its not referencing their own speech.

I don't think the lefts rhetoric as a whole is "responsible" for her increased death threats, but I do find it hillariously hypocritical that they're sitting around condemning "hateful rhetoric" based off the tragedy in Arizona with no proof it had anything to do with it while now dismissing that they're doing so with hateful rhetoric could just as easily be linked with creating a "violent atmosphere" themselves.

We must change the tone in this country!......by everyone on the right, we can keep being hateful.

Not paritcularly Bubba. I'm asking for an actual QUOTE, not some random writeres paraphrase.

Please, can you provide me an exact quote? A paraphrase is useless. I could paraphase that Obama suggested that one should "bring a gun" as a solution to political discourse by cherry picking a couple of words out of a quote, however when given the entire quote the meaning and context would change.

So I ask, and challenge again, please...someone show me a quote of a Republican suggesting that second amendment remedies are a "solution".
 
Someone is shock there would be threats against the Palins?

They have entered the level of celebs and for most of their remaining lives that will always have to have body guards. They have the millions so what is the problem?

Ever hear of Brittney Spears or Paris Hilton being attacked? No, because dim-witted as those two are even they know you have to have body guards.

The more fame brought to Palin the more enticing it is to another nut such as the one in Arizona.

Shooting someone such as Fred Gandy also a former politician and tv star would give them only a paragraph on the 3rd page of the newspaper. Shooting a Palin would be front page. Being a celeb with such controversy brings you to the top of the list by nuts.

Being a celeb is a like a two edged sword.

If you wish to actually address hypocrisy, I would suggest you examine the behavior of those who make claims that they are rejecting "partisan hacks", but whose pattern of behavior is to indulge in attacks only against those criticizing Palin.

Would I take advise on how to live a lawful life from a career thief?

Then why do I care what you think is needed to address hypocrisy and "partisan hacks"? Especially when your "suggestion" is something I already know and have been actively doing.

I would suggest you actually fairly examine my posting habits before making uninformed suggestions.
