Nobody with a normal IQ and without paranoid delusions gives a dam about some marks on a map. Most American voters are neither morons nor lunatics and the number of people in the country who will entertain for a moment the idea that Sarah Palin deserves some blame for the Arizona shootings is negligible. The overwhelming majority will dismiss the suggestion as insane and anyone who makes it as a loon.

The more the left pushes the ridiculous idea that Sarah is guilty of overheated, irresponsible rhetoric the more it will discredit itself and immunize her against its critique. Yes the left controls the media. So what? It isn't all powerful. When something clearly isn't shinola, the left can't convince people to shine shoes with it. And the idea that the tragedy in Arizona reflects badly on Sarah in any way is very clearly not shinola.

Relax, stop worrying about what the left is going to do and start thinking about how to use their own foolishness against them.

The only station in my area I can pick up Mark on starts the broadcast at 8:00 PM. A little behind time, but always worth it.
In the mean time Fox is hitting the Rat/MSM machine pretty decently. Probably trying to make up for some of the lost ground that the liberal idiot Geraldo Rivera caused.

For the real history of political hate, go to the link below for Malkin’s decade of documentation of violence from the left and threats:

In a subsequent interview with GOP radio host Tammy Bruce, Mansour defended the map. They weren't gun sights but "surveyor's symbols," Bruce suggested, according to Alaska Dispatch, and Mansour agreed. But that contradicted Palin's own prior characterization of the map's symbol as a "'bullseye' icon."

An amateurish response. And why make it on a pro-choice lesbian's show?

Very serious, I agree.

This is what happens when we let the left and their collaborators here get away with destroying a good Republican Governor, and VP candidate like SP.

She was slammed for being “corrupt” during the malicious court battles...she resigns to save her reputation and political future, and they pretend she is just a “quitter”.

No one spoke up, everyone piled on. So the left knows they can get away with even more slander.

And now, they have upped the ante and are calling her a murderer of children and political enemies.

ANYONE here should be soundly ZOTED for helping spread their propaganda.

I guess that means NO port Target stores..their freakin symbol is a TARGET sign..maybe they will have to put a BIG T instead

Target stores may just have to change their symbol to a more "non-threatening" one.

This time she is not and that is weird.

She doesn't wish to interrupt the enemy yet, as they are still shooting themselves in the feet.

You are right. How this all plays out is really up to Sarah. Every single time she is bashed, she is out right then and there to put the BS sign up. This time she is not and that is weird.

Some thoughts:

First, or course, the maxim: "only fools rush in"

Why must Palin respond to baseless and absurd accusations right this very moment IF EVER?

Second, I learned long ago that in a public fight BOTH participants get bloody. Impartial witnesses to a fight see blood on both participants and attribute both with negative thought. There is a reason the phrase "rising above the fray" is used -it means something and I would suggest it is just what Sarah is doing. The facts keep coming in and the idiots keep up their lunacy regardless the fact... LET THEM FALL ON THEIR FACES ALL ON THEIR OWN -no push necessary...

Palin clearly offered condolences and decried the tragedy. I do not consider it a negative, those that suggest, because she has not dived into the mud pit to wrestle the pigs she is somehow responsible...

This is a turning point BUT not for Palin -for America... Americans will see now more clearly what lunacy and vitriol the left is all about.

Sarah stand back, turns the other cheek and lets them make *sses of themselves. THIS take strength -not to react when reaction is in no way beneficial but only possibly emotional is strength.

Sarah shows the measured restraint one would expect from a great leader. She is the exact opposite of 0zero the community organizing rabble rouser...

Yahoo libs are scared.

Yahoo libs are being savaged on the Yahoo message boards. The leftist propaganda that the shooter was a tea party member has been ripped apart and shredded by posters. The Palin meme has fallen flat. All of the left’s previous viscious statements are getting posted, from obuma to various lefty congresscritters. Most are accepting the fact that the shooter was mentally unbalanced.

We are seeing Yahoo message boards being taken over by conservatives and tea party members. I’m guessing about 60% conservative content vs 40% lib content. This is fun to watch.

I frankly can’t ever remember being more angry than I am today over this orchestrated smear directed at all of us.

If this does not provide the impetus to charge on, full bore, to regain all branches of government, statehouses, state legislatures and facilitate the continued demise of the main stream media, then nothing will.

What I find really embarrassing for Palin is that 1) the map was taken down right after the shooting, making it look like she felt guilty and 2) her spokesperson on the Tammy Bruce show said they were surveyors marks when Palin herself had called them targets/bulls-eyes. Why bother trying to change the story? That amounts to admitting she was wrong or has a problem.

Exactly. It looks stupid to call them surveyor marks after Sarah herself called them targets/bulls-eyes.
