"In the span of a single news cycle, Republicans got a jarring reminder of two forces that could prevent them from retaking the presidency in next year."

Never mind the victims- what about the most important question: How does this help Obama?...

Martin is an idiot, and I doubt her wrote this crap. It was probably written for him!

Within thirty minutes of the shootings, the Left was attacking conservatism. They had this prepped.

OMG conservatives are “grievance based” ???

This is a neat trick if we let liberals pull it off. They are tearing society apart, and they will claim common sense conservatives are the disruptive ones!

“OMG conservatives are “grievance based” ???”

I know- what a joke.

Within an hour of the shooting, the libel media starts implying that Palin had inspired the shooter- then she defends herself in a brief segment of her speech, and now “all” Conservatives are “grievance based”?

One inconvenient fact for Pollutico and the rest: we’re 40% of the population, and we’re not buying your spoon fed nonsense.

Ofcourse the Leftist did. They opined for months before this tagedy that Zero needed a OKC moment.

The scenerio was set up with Palin et al as the perps and Zero as the great Miracle worker.

This is a major barfer! They deranged left are using this for political gain nothing more. They could give a sheesh about the victims. Like the commies all is for the party—the individual be damned.

The three issues the dems now have for the 2012 election, gun control, internet control, hate radio control, were all worked into the news prior to the shooting.

One might be a coincidence, two is suspect, but all three indicates this or something similar to it was planned.

Add to that the orchestrated news stories of the “VIOLENT TEA PARTY” and the coordinated attack against Sarah Palin, and coincidence just doesn't explain it.

A two bagger? I crawled inside a large hefty bag for this piece of work. O.M.G. They inhabit an entirely different reality.

Is this guy serious? Obama is a small man before, during and after his campaign speech last night. Obama lacks character, there is nothing real about him.

Sarah Palin’s speech was great because it was heartfelt, genuine and true to her character. Liberals will never understand the difference.

Discourse is good = pro liberty

Unity = code for taking away rights.

Guess which one was Presidential?

Congratulations to Charles Krauthammer for being the newest useful tool for Left Wing websites.

This guy is a rabid Palin hater. Remember the rumor about the Diva Palin blowing off interviews to Hannity and Levin? Guess what hack rolled that out without any proof.

Obamas speech at the dem pep rally will have no lastinf effect at all except in the minds of the beltway punditocracy.

Not 1% of America has any clue as to what Obama siad at Fort Hood and not 1% will have any idea what he said yesterday a year form now.

On the other hand a heftier percentage will recognize the words blood libel, just as they do "death panels', which btw are not owned by and religion, race or creed.

It is critical to understand that the agenda of international communism is fundamental to the progressive movement in the US. The essential principle is deceit. The inability of conservatism to acknowledge the profound evil of the left makes it impossible to respond appropriately. The only conservative who gets it and is able and willing to encounter the malicious left is Sarah Palin.

Krauthammer and Will are just jealous that they are no longer the leading conservative pundits for anyone outside the Beltway, having been replaced by the likes of Limbaugh (both Rush and David), Mark Levin, Mark Stein, Glenn Beck, Jonah Goldberg, and yes, Sarah Palin.

“Is this guy serious? Obama is a small man before, during and after his campaign speech last night. Obama lacks character, there is nothing real about him.”

The sad thing is, yes- I think he 100% believes this. I wouldn’t doubt if suffers from the same psychological “magical thinking” that the rest of his libel media buddies are afflicted with: if he writes the words and declares what the rest of the public “believes”, therefore it is. They’re completely confounded when the reality smacks them in the face.

Anyone with half a brain knows BHO and the rest of the Dems are going to be back to demagoguing Conservatives within a few days, and all of these words will ring hollow, just like the soul-less man himself.
