Zero was not being blamed for the murders.

But he should have been. One of his progressive minions brought a gun to the fight just like he was told to by Obama. He got in their face alright, on instructions from Obama.

Druggy like Obama? Check.

Atheist like Obama? Check.

Flag hater like Obama? Check

Marx lover like Obama? Check.

He was just doing what Obama told him. This should have been the story from the start pushed by everyone to the right of Obama, instead of the pathetic whining, like victims.

John, they were accusing the conservative movement in general, and her and others personally, of inciting assassination. If being presidential means letting either of those accusations pass unanswered, I’m not entirely sure being presidential is worth a bucket of warm s**t.

(And if you and the Bush family and their friends think your namesake cousin is going to run for president in 2012, four years after your other cousin retired from the job, and a majority of the Republican electorate is automatically going to rise huzzahing as one...maybe you guys are the myopic ones.)

BTW, this is the guy who had Fox News call Florida for Dubya back in 2000, so he’s no distant relative, he’s right in the middle of the Bush camp.

I'm not sure why you believe this to be an issue since Bush did win Florida, even after all the efforts of the Dems to skew the recounts.

I don’t recall at the time people saying Obama was “pitch perfect”.

That is driving me crazy all by itself...

Ever since the Pubs blew the House out and Barry started his smiley face campaign everybody, both parties and the media, including Fox, has been praising his every move.

There's also the fact that old guard pubbies do not want Palin on the ticket and probably would reject any female currently in the queue.

Unfortunately, the polls on the average are correct and accurate. They were right on in 2006, 2008 and 2010.

The American Public are ignorant and fickle. The polls show that.

“pitch perfect”?
I didn’t know they had such a setting on a teleprompter.

John Podhoretz is a neocon. I don't trust neocons any more than I trust liberal Democrats.

“He focused on those whose lives were cut short, those whose lives were shattered, what we might learn from this searing atrocity and why it’s important that we do so. The President rose to the moment with dignity and grace. “

and then after he spoke, recognizing that he had the white people in tears and the black people in cheers, he gave Moochelle a fist bump. What a compassionate guy. It was a Ron Brown funeral moment.

Does the author know something I don't? As far as I know, she hasn't said that she is running. So how is she the front runner?

“The President rose to the moment with dignity and grace.”

Bullscat,, e sat there for 4 days, silent as HIS people attacked Sarah. Never once said it was inappropriate. He soaked up the applause at his pep rally, never telling the audiance that this was a somber event.

His silence as others are having an orgy of political exploitation is not what i call ‘grace”.

1) obama is a member of the death cult of islam
2) dims are the party of evil and satan... the party of the murder of the innocent.. the party of the lie
3) There can be no unity or compromise with the evil of their communist ideology

Reagan was right... we are going under. 90% of republican pundits and elected officials are helping America into her grave.

You haven't been so far, and it hasn't made a bit of difference.

You must feel so important.

heh heh you just wish...

...Sarah Palin is not going away...she is going to be in all leftist, RINO and Rockeffeller Republican faces as long as she wants to be.

Sarah is letting the above gain some composure so they will not have blown out veins, then she will hit them with her next "tweet"..

..all Palin haters blood vessels double in size and pressure....eyes bulge and foam comes to mouths along with howls of rage.....

Elite Republicans have never much cared what Democrats say about them, as long as they can all still supper together at the Cosmos Club. In this instance, they appear genuinely baffled as to why a person they roundly consider their social inferior (Ms. Palin) would be so uncouth as to complain publicly about her treatment in the news media.

Their consensus view appears to be that a Republican of better breeding and social refinement (not to mention, Presidential hair) would know to simply brush it off as mere political hyperbole, unimportant in the larger scheme of things. What, after all, is the point of being born to the manor, getting a Harvard or Yale education, and then obtaining a position of sublime power and influence in Washington if a simple-minded Tea Party hick with a degree from some Close-Cover-Before-Striking college can threaten to do the same? Really. What is this world coming to?

A little girl doesn’t get to grow up. She’s DEAD. Other people also lost their lives! Palin getting her feelings hurt is not comparable.

Bushies attacking Palin because they think Myth is the Man and Jeb is VP.

Reppubs do this every time. As soon as they have the advantage they roll over and play dead. It’s like they don’t WANT to win. They did it with the mythical Clinton “surpluses as far s the eye could see” too. They are idiots. It’s why we need to kick them out too.
