Sarah Palin: Americas Enduring Strength

Sarah Palin receiving unprecedented level of death threats
(ABC News)- An aide close to Sarah Palin says death threats and security threats have increased to an unprecedented level since the shooting in Arizona, and the former Alaska Governor’s team has been talking to security professionals. Palin has taken much heat for her “crosshairs” map that targeted 20 congressional Democrats in the 2010 mid-term election, including that of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was the main target of Saturday’s attack. ...

The Presidents Speech and Killing Sarah Palin
What was billed as a “memorial service” in Arizona last night was more of a pep-rally and celebration of life. It was complete with sloganeering, Bumper Stickers, and t-shirts. It is what was needed. What’s more, Mr. Obama gave a stunning rebuke to his own base who’ve engaged in a horrific blame game all week. But at a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized - at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of...

Email Sent! You have successfully emailed the post. Since the Arizona massacre on Saturday there have been some very pointless debates about the role of Rhetoric in American politics, and whether Sarah Palin used an inappropriate phrase in a video she posted on Vimeo. But the debate that will emerge have some actual impact is whether society ought to get even more aggressive about pro-actively protecting itself against psychos, which is exactly what everyone who came into contact with shooter J...

A Tale Of Two Speeches
There’s no question about it, President Obama was at his best yesterday, moving the audience emotionally and striking all the right chords with a nation having just suffered a horrific tragedy. Most striking was the amazing moment when the President announced that Congresswoman Giffords had opened her eyes for the first time: But President Obama wasn’t the only one who spoke yesterday. Sarah Palin, despite not being in office or really anyone of consequence besides a losing VP nomine...

Let's Go to the Confrontational
The videotaped confessional (or these days, it might be better to call it a "confrontational") is all the rage among those who believe they've been aggrieved. What better way to defend yourself uninterrupted or go after designated critics without fear of having your message diluted? The tactic is big on the political front. Exhibit A is Sarah Palin's nearly eight-minute commentary on Saturday's shooting in Tucson that injured Representative Gabrielle Giffords and killed six people. Palin spends ...

Death Threats Against Sarah Palin at 'Unprecedented Level,' Aides Say
ABC News An aide close to Sarah Palin says death threats and security threats have increased to an unprecedented level since the shooting in Arizona, and the former Alaska Governor's team has been talking to security professionals.

Michael Russnow: Media Pundit Sarah Palin Says She's Not Responsible: Oh, Yeah? I Don't Think So
The subject of the tragedy in Tucson has perhaps been talked to death on the major networks, but having watched the give and take on both sides of the political spectrum, as well as those who preach moderation, it's my view regarding Sarah Palin and her ilk, that they doth Protest too much. I'll let slide Sarah Palin's use of anti-Semitic terms such as "blood Libel" in her desperate attempt to cast aside aspersions to her integrity, because I honestly don't believe she has the intellectual dep...

A Brief Remark On Sarah Palin
Jon Chait is defending her: Okay, it’s a little over the top for Sarah Palin to accuse her critics of “blood Libel.” But she does have a basic point. She had nothing to do with Jared Loughner. He was not an Extremist who embraced some radical version of her ideas. And her use of targets to identify districts Republicans were, um, targeting is not exceptional or prone to incite anybody. What’s happening is that Palin has come to represent unhinged Grassroots Conservatism...

Sarah Palin Video: Americas Enduring Strength
Four hours ago Sarah Palin posted this video response to the tragedy in Tucson. In it she addresses the debate that followed about whether the harsh political Rhetoric played a role.

Sarah Palin: Americas Enduring Strength
Promoted from Diaries - Moe Lane. Great stuff (you can get to the video on her Facebook page). I don’t think I’ve seen this better said. Naturally, the Left has started targeting Palin (and targeting is the right word) for her use of the phrase “blood Libel”, although the phrase is quite appropriate. Politico was the first to mention it, using the phrase in their headline. The Hill was next. In their piece, they quote Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), who naturally, decides to...

Sarah Palin's Tucson Statement Is Steeped In Stubbornness
Nearly four days after her notorious map targeting Congresswoman Giffords with cross-hairs was alleged by some people to have possibly influenced crazed Tucson gunman Jared Loughner, Sarah Palin has finally spoken. In a long Facebook message and corresponding Vimeo video posted online in the middle of the night, mainland America time, Palin focuses much of her attention on such accusations, which, it seems at this point, lack merit. Missing completely though is any acknowledgment at all that, up...

WASHINGTON, DC – In response to the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others last Saturday, Sarah Palin has recorded a nearly eight-minute video condemning the attacks, praising "the heroism of those who overpowered a deranged gunman" and reaffirming "passionate exchange and debate of ideas" in American political discourse.

Sarah Palin is Now the Face of the Arizona Shooting and a Victim of "Blood Libel"
Sarah Palin: "America's Enduring Strength" from Sarah Palin on Vimeo. Six people were killed when Jared Loughner started shooting in Arizona on Saturday, while Rep. Gabrielle Giffords remains hospitalized. Sara Palin was also a Victim and she wants everyone to know.

Sarah Palin and `blood libel'

A few quick things to note. First, the obvious care that went into making this video -- the pre-written script is over seven minutes long; she cl...

Sarah Palin on the Shooting
Sarah Palin: "America's Enduring Strength" from Sarah Palin on Vimeo. I agree that each person is responsible for his or her actions. Loughner is responsible for what he did and Palin is responsible for what she did. Loughner killed and wounded people with a gun. Palin delivered tremendous amounts of inciteful Rhetoric which she knew damn well could push some of these numbskulls over the edge. Both are guilty, What's your opinion? Please leave a comment. ...

Sarah Palin Speaks from Some Undisclosed Facebook Location
Sarah Palin: “America’s Enduring Strength” from Sarah Palin on Vimeo. Sarah Palin chose to forget today that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords brought up Palin’s “targeting” of her when lamenting the vitriolic political Rhetoric in this country before Jared Lee Loughner tried to assassinate her in Arizona. In a weirdly disembodied and out of touch statement from the abyss of her self-imposed political exile, Palin picks today, the day Pres. Obama will address the nation...

Oh No! Sarah Palin Removed Her Jew Blood Video! (UPDATE: Its Back Up)
It’s probably because Vimeo is fancy and elitist and doesn’t like Hate Speech on its website. We didn’t understand why Palin used that site in the first place. She should have stuck with Dailymotion or something like that. It’s more natural for her. Sarah Palin has scrubbed away this moment of Jewish history. Which is worse than saying that thing she said in the first place....

Sarah Palin Delivers Annual State of Hateful Charlatan Provocation Address
And there she is, Sarah Palin, the president of having no real job outside of making present-day-fearing Americans afraid of everything but themselves for money, walking down the aisle. She shakes hands with leaders of both sides, the one that wants to kill all Muslim Americans and the one that just wants to take away all their rights. Now she makes her up and sits on the speakin’ fireplace, flanked by Vice President of Victimhood Trig Palin and Speaker of the What Stephen Baldwin. LetR...
