Oh, genius, how would you describe the attempts of the MSM, in defiance of all evidence, to pin this on the Tea Party and Palin and Beck.

Very nice theory ... but look at the reality of what the MSM is focused on. The term "blood libel." Nothing else. Why? Because the term sounds unhinged, and is right in line with the image of Sarah Palin that they've been painting.

That's why they've jumped on it. Sarah Palin should have known better. The rest of her statement is actually pretty good -- but she threw them red meat at the start.

Funny, that is exactly what the MSM is saying about the entire Tea Party. And they just want us to shut up, period.

You know what I'd like? I'd like the Tea Party people to stop whining, and stop shouting, and start talking about serious issues in a way that shows what they plan to do, rather than just what they're against.

It seems to me that you are the one who should take a moment and think about what you are saying, given you are parroting the MSM here.

I'm just looking at the evidence.

Yeah, let's just shut up and do things your way. That worked so well in the past.

I am in favor of calm debate. But I also ain't gonna condemn those who are angry. My condemnations are reserved for those attacking the right over this, you might think about re-directing your fire here instead of parroting the MSM talking points.

But if you notice, the media story is no longer a ‘TEA party and Palin caused the shootings’.

It’s all about whether ‘blood libel’ is appropriate for what they’ve done. Of course, the media thinks it’s unhinged, but now they’re writing a different story.

She’s knocked them off-message in just one speech.
