People like Palin speak to serve themseves and although I am going to pass judgment until the facts are out, she really has set a bad example in the way she conducts herself politically. She is a very dirty fighter and there is no honor in that!
Then why don't you practice PC speech?

I'm just sayin'.

She knows that there are those who take metaphors literally. She knows that we have a huge problem in this country with shootings. Yet she chose as a metaphor one that at the very least is in questionable taste.

And she pals around with those who do advocate violence...what else would you call her endorsement of Sharon Angle?

Guess we have to get rid of Freedom of Speech since there is a "chance" some loon might take it the wrong way.


You have ZERO clue what Palin or her supports are thinking. You have ZERO clue why this man did it, yet you place blame with everyone but the actual shooter. And we wonder why people take no personal responsibility anymore, hell let's just shot someone and we can blame Obama or Bush or Palin. Ridiculous.

I'm sorry, but the little punks in black, who frequent every anti-war protest, every World Bank protest, every G20, G8 protest, that go around torching and overturning cars, breaking windows and generally trashing the place, are far, far, far leftists.

Well the reverse must also be true then as well. If a candidate is endorsed by those who have either used or advocated violence then that candidate must also share those beliefs.
Who do we know that enjoyed the support of black panthers, a former weather under ground, and a preacher who spews racists rhetoric?
Now as for myself I don't believe the above to be true.
I believe that we are all responsible and accountable for the things we do both good and bad.
So you condemn Palin for who she supports and pals around with. Do you also condemn our president? Some of his pals have actually used bombs.
The Irony is that I don't even like Palin and here I am defending her because people want to use this horrible tragedy as a political statement.

Wrong. KGUN 9 is the ABC affilliate in Tucson, not Phoenix.

I can't even read this thread any more. Today I am embarrassed to be a member of the same democracy as some of you disgusting animals.

If anything inspired him it was the song on that "favorite video" which is demented in the same way his others are - "Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor... this is the end...nothing wrong with me, nothing wrong with me....."

Rep. Giffords read the freedom of speech part of the Constitution aloud this week in Congress.

She must believe in it.

Stay on topic, folks. The topic is NOT Palin or anything other than the Congresswoman and the lunatic that shot her and others today. Further attempts to speculate on the motives of the shooter, hate filled rhetoric or trolling may result in this thread being closed.
