the lamestreammedia is just so meeeeaaaaannnn to her!!!

although, of all the ass covering I’ve read this week, this one is my favorite

I’d bet it’s a whole lot more cursing than wailing, directed at the victims for dying as well as everyone else. Meanwhile, in a stunning poll, 60% of Americans either agree with the bulls-eyes or don’t know or care about it.

Must be tough coming up with a way to tell the faithful that she really didn’t mean they should actually follow through on the threats but please send cash anyway.

Palin really doesn’t do defense, which explains why she never made it out of the small-town leagues in her vaunted basketball “career”.

Now, la diva Palin is screaming about “blood libel.”

Blood libel, for f&ck’s sake. When did the Republicans become the Mafia?

Ooh. Bad case of premature blogulation, Tbogg.

And her statement is a doozy. Blood Libel! What an ignorant…

“Journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that only serves only to incite the very hatred and violence that they purport to condemn.”

I’ve seen this logic used by wife-beaters & child-beaters before (‘If you didn’t embarrass me in front of other people I wouldn’t be so abusive toward you’)

Somebody check Trig for bruises & hairline fractures.

Can’t wait till Tbogg sees the video. And Sully’s gonna be at it all day I expect. This is a long week already.

Apparenty it was Tom, George and Benji’s fault. Those damn founding daddies!

“But less than a week after Congresswoman Giffords reaffirmed our protected freedoms, another member of Congress announced that he would propose a law that would criminalize speech he found offensive,” Palin wrote.

“It is in the hour when our values are challenged that we must remain resolved to protect those values. Recall how the events of 9-11 challenged our values and we had to fight the tendency to trade our freedoms for perceived security. And so it is today.”

I must have missed her protest against The Patriot Act, but she should be front-and-center with Westboro Baptist Church at the Arizona victims’ funerals.

What about the reporter dude that moved in next door to her? Has he nothing to report?

Except for something to be even remotely “blood libel”, it would have to be, ya know, “libelous”.

But of course, words don’t have any standard meaning when you’re busy creating your own reality. Hey! maybe she actaully understood Loughner’s disjointed ramblings. She, too, has issues with that whole “seeking to control through grammar” sctick.

Death panels. Also.

From salon.com:

“Blood libel” according to Wikipedia:

Blood libel (also blood accusation) refers to a false accusation or claim that religious minorities, almost always Jews, murder children to use their blood in certain aspects of their religious rituals and holidays. Historically, these claims have–alongside those of well poisoning and host desecration–been a major theme in European persecution of Jews.

Also, Gabrielle Giffords is Jewish. Oh dear.

Blood libel?

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick – she’s gone completely off the frackin’ rails. I mean, Jonah Goldberg is calling her out on the language she’s using.

And people think she’s Presidential material? Only if they thought the President in The Dead Zone was a good role model.

A WaPo commenter noted that the little white square reflected in her glasses is … a teleprompter.

PS. TBogg, your prediction was genius.

I’m just going to put this out there. ‘Murica was free of terroist attacks when Tbogg put captions on the photos. No captions = terroist attack. I think it would be irresponsible not to speculate.

Of course, she could have called a press conference instead of issuing a video from the mountain top, but that probably would have involved actual people rudely reminded of her role in all this. Right to her face.

Can’t have any of that. Just hand out ultimatums and overwrought drama from behind the locked doors of her Fortress of Solitude.

DAGNABBIT! I was just being cutsey Alaska Gal when I made all those Frontiery Statements – YOU PEOPLE don’t understand why The Moose need to be Killt. Their little beady eyes, following your every move… Need to rack up and get some shootin fer Jaysus in, DONCHAKNO. Also, I think the MESSMEDIA need to spend more time reporting, and less time talking about what I’m doing for America. Beck wants to be my special soldier, but I think he’s got those piggy little Moose eyes. ANYWHO, violence in America is always a bad thing, except for all those times the FOUNDING FATHERS had to kill someone to keep us SAFE, and I won’t have any trouble following their example, YUBETCHA. By which I mean VOTING, you silly goosem.

Since “journalists and pundits” are engaging in “blood libel”, she’s saying she’s literally merely the spawn of corporate media.

Which is actually really accurate.

Too. As pointed out by bloggers repeatedly. Also.

Now we’ve got all these Republicans saying THE REAL issue is the lack of Mental Health services.

http://thinkprogress.org/2011/01/11/rogers-mental-tucson/

Somebody wanna tell these assholes that to get Mental Health services you need Healthcare Insurance?

Im comfused. So by targeting his Jewish Democratic Rep, Loughner was symbolically eating Sarah’s brain at the direction of Obama’s voice in his head? When will the madness end?

No, because I really don’t want to clean up the mess after their paradigms shift without a clutch.

Well, Spotts, that is the problem with paradigms: shift happens.

And, please, everyone, stop being so mean to Caribou Barbie. After all, she didn’t kill anybody, did she?

Then again, neither did Charlie Manson.
