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.

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.

There is another important reason why the MSM is upset with Palin. She reached the people without the MSM being involved. And she did it with video and very effective video at that. This is a major breakthrough. The absolute power of the MSM to control access to the American people has been breached. God bless Sarah Palin for this important achievement!

Worth repeating! (BTW, Kristol did say on a personal level he liked Palin fighting back but then claimed it could hurt her in the long run. I disagree with his second part.)
