Poll: 35% blame Palin for Tucson shooting
Salon ^ | January 17, 2011 | Justin Elliott

Posted on 01/17/2011 6:09:08 PM PST by Suvroc10

This new CNN poll on the Tucson mass shooting seems like bad news for Sarah Palin:

QUESTION: Overall, how much do you blame each of the following for the shooting in Arizona -- a great deal, a moderate amount, not much, or not at all?

The laws under which guns are bought and sold in this country

Great deal 30% ... Moderate amount 22% ... Not much 14% ... Not at all 33%

The use of harsh rhetoric and violent metaphors by politicians and commentators

Great deal 25% ... Moderate amount 23% ... Not much 17% ... Not at all 32%

A map on Sarah Palin's website that marked 20 congressional districts, including the district represented by the congresswoman who was shot, with an image that looked like the crosshairs of a gun

Great deal 19% ... Moderate amount 16% ... Not much 15% ... Not at all 44%

The resources available to deal with people who may be mentally ill

Great deal 41% ... Moderate amount 29% ... Not much 13% ... Not at all 15%

So a substantial minority -- 35 percent -- blame the Palin map either a great deal or a moderate amount for what happened in Tucson.

With mental giants like those polled running free in the populace, it’s easy to see how The Messiah got elected in the first place......

This is the same 35% who also said that the aliens who abducted them blamed them for “global warming”.

I remember when I got a job in college running the school switchboard at night. The regular operator was real gem. She was smart as could be and an old fashioned Southern girl.

One of the first things she taught me about running the board and dealing with the public, was that a lot of people are just plain stupid.

I always remembered that and she was right. A good percentage of Americans are just plain stupid. These polls prove it.

The question doesn’t matter. It boils down to “Do You Like Sarah Palin”?

Liberals will not give her the benefit of the doubt under any circumstances. This only serves to give an indication of how many participants in this poll are so consumed with blind hatred that they cannot think straight. Scary that it is 35%.

The guy was a flaming liberal...and he was insane (I guess that’s redundant). So if ideology is responsible, then it’s leftist ideology that is responsible for the murders. Now if you ask me...the guy is insane, and he’s responsible for his own actions. But if the left insists that he’s innocent and it’s rhetoric that’s responsible, then it’s their own rhetoric that they need to blame.
