Sarah Palin speaks, blamestream media goes wild
Michelle Malkin ^ | 1/12/11 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 01/12/2011 10:15:49 AM PST by Lakeshark

Two days ago, Instapundit/law professor Glenn Reynolds assailed the politics of “blood libel” in the Wall Street Journal.

Today, Sarah Palin issued her own poignant, but fierce rejoinder against the vicious smears of Tucson massacre opportunists and drew on “America’s enduring strength” to pay tribute to the victims.

They criticized her for not saying anything.

Now, they’ll criticizing her for saying something.

The blamestream media is already up in arms — can we still say that? — over the use of the phrase “blood libel.” Ben Smith at Politico has an exchange with Glenn Reynolds about the term here. Jim Geraghty notes that leftists have had no problem applying the phrase to the GOP.

The more moronic of Palin-bashers will simply gnash their teeth because she said “blood.”

Idiocracy: The new normal.

Today the media most closely resemble the kid who, after pinching his brother, hollers “MOM” when his brother punches back.

“Poor dumb MSM *astards, Sarah continues to walk up one side of them and down the other wearing cleats on her shoes, they have no clue.”

The more they respond/act out like in this situation, they will lose more readers and viewers and become even weaker.

Of course, they will hate Sarah even more and revert to this psychotic behavior on a regular basis until they don’t have jobs and their MSM paycheck is gone as their MSM slithers into the liberal cesspool to disappear.

Sarah Palin is hitting them where they are weakest, the truth. Keep it up Sarah until their heads explode.

Under the 0h0m0 Communist regime, this isn't a Representative Republic or a Democracy; it IS an Idiocracy!

That’s our new and improved form of government.

Love that pic, but I have seen it removed from FR a few times before, it will be interesting to see how long it lasts on this thread.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I’m no Palin fan, but there’s more anger and hatred directed at her than at the killer! The world has gone insane.

The only problem I have with it is that he’s not fit to shine her shoes.

Clusterbomb will now be on the 'list'. 'Explode' being considered.
