“Next time, we hope she learns her lesson”

Dry up and blow away...

Palin/Gifford ping

That’s what I’m talkin about. I wouldn’t stand by and allow someone to throw mud at me and not fight back. I don’t think any fair minded person would think you should either. With the left Sarah is d*mned if she does and d*mned if she doesn’t.

“Next time, we hope she learns her lesson”

No Dick, the lesson is that sometimes you have to do and say things that are right but may not make you immediately popular. In the long run, the message is received and voters will know she was right because this is only the first tragedy that will be blamed on her. Once the Alinskyites have created a boogeyman, all they have to do is sit back and wait for the next event to happen.

To problem is, how to reach the people who buy into crap like this and turn them around. They don’t watch FoxNews. She may have to go through their gatekeepers of information who didn’t play her full 8 minute statement. They only played the one sentence about blood libel. None of those gatekeepers is on her side, but some are capable of a degree of fairness. This is about more than Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh. It’s about the demonization of opponents and the politics of personal destruction. Blame is assigned without evidence. It’s not a new thing in America, remember the Salem witch trials. At least they had trials. Now they convict them in their own minds.

What happened after the Tucson shooting needs to be discussed and rejected by society. If we don’t have the courage to talk about it, we will be victimized again.

Gov. Palin will turn this around by making Obama the boogeyman. He will be accused of bankrupting this country, exchanging our personal freedoms for collectivism, for reducing our national security and energy independence. The difference will be that Gov. Palin didn’t do what she was accused of, and Obama did.
