I'm a little surprised Fox is taking this tone, but I actually agree with them. Gretchen Carlson and Dana Perino basically said the same thing on O'Reilly the other night. I think Palin has enough allies on Fox, talk radio, blogs, etc. to defend her and she could have stayed out of the muck, like Michele Bachmann did.

I know the Left was beating her up for staying silent, but nothing she said (or says) will ever satisfy them, so why do it? hat's the upside. Plus the timing was bad as whatever she said was #1 over shadowed by Obama's speech and #2 the MSM was then able to compare/contrast the two and that's a contest she would never win.

How the hell can she stay out of it? She is receiving an increase in death threats that started just hours after the shooting.

She did absolutely nothing wrong before or after the shooting. The Dems and the MSM hate her for one very big reason, i.e., she is a major political force who can raise lots of money for GOP candidates. The GOP establishment dislikes her because they don't control her, but they know that they can't attack her directly. So now we have weasels like Kristol, Christie, and the like indirectly attacking her for the timing or advisability of her response.

When I hear so-called Reps and conservatives calling for the toning down of our political rhetoric including Palin in the mix, then I know what their real agenda is.

Do you really think she thought any of the media outside of perhaps FOX was going to approve or did she do it for her army? My guess is the target audience approved and are more outraged at the media more than ever.

That silence is the quiet before the 2012 storm.

Pray for America

As far as the DBM goes Palin will never be a darling as yo correctly state.

We are the ones who support her and when she makes comments it's because it the right thing to do,not necessarily for any one group or the other,IMHO.

Did they criticize Juan Williams for standing up for himself? I don’t think so.

To answer ME. To satisfy ME. To answer to all the Americans who are interested -- and they are.

You go ahead and let the MSM (aka, liberals) set the terms for exposure and then react to them. We'll stand back and watch you be manipulated, while Palin helps lead moral, limited government Americans to the Republican party and into a place where they set the terms for the MSM and liberals.
