The Fate of the Republic Dangles by a Single Silken Thread
Sunday night, former Alaska half-governor Sarah Palin took the political gamble of her career. She appeared on the hostile turf of the Hannity show on Fox News and declared, for the world to hear (at least, the world that watches Fox)...
If she is ever forced to shut her gobbling word hole, then this republic we have loved and defended and maintained and nurtured for nearly 235 years...
Sean Hannity, you can be sure, asked probing questions like, "What makes you so great, Sarah?" and "Why do the idiot liberals hate you, Sarah?"
But Sarah brushed those high and inside fastballs aside with her usual aplomb and skill. She put it on the line for all of America (especially those who watch the morning news shows where they are showing the clips non-stop).
She was Palin the Educator! "Those people" who KNOW the meanings, origin and intent of the words "blood libel" — the JEWS -- don't really understand what the phrase means.
Asked to respond to critics who questioned if Palin really knew what she was saying, the former governor responded: “I don’t know how the heck they would or wouldn’t know” if she understood the definition. “It goes back to the Jewish people being falsely accused,” she said. “A group of people being falsely accused of having blood on their hands.”She was Palin the Honest! That spokesmoron who came out on a talk show and said the symbols were not crosshairs, but were actually surveyor symbols? That was just a lighthearted moment among staff members (that was repeated by the spokeschimp in a morbidly serious tone on a right wing radio show). They really WERE crosshairs. And what of it, ya bunch of sissies?
Palin acknowledged that the map — which showed a target on the district represented by Giffords, who remains hospitalized — was taken down following the shooting. She did however defend the use of the crosshairs icons, pointing to other examples from across the political spectrum. “It’s not an original use of an icon or website,” she said.
Right again! I did a search on the Google thing and found TWO (count 'em... TWO!) instances of Democrats doing the EXACT SAME THING!
Kinda.
There's this one from the DNC...
This one is from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
Now the REASONABLE among you will notice that there's a bit of a difference. The Democrats use the image of "targets." Like you would see in a bar for darts or at a carnival for water balloons. Sarah used Crosshairs! There is only one image that comes to mind when using crosshairs to "target" a district. And that image is spelled "KER-BLAMMO!" But dammit, Sarah Palin isn't TALKING to reasonable people! She's talking to the "FEELERS", not the "THINKERS!"
