Since you are so fond of bashing Palin, why not take it over to the VfC? I'm sure your views will be well received over there My comments about Palin are never personal. I have never attacked anyone here for supporting her. I extend and expect the same courtesy. I am banned at VfC. Too right wing for that bunch.

Nobody really cares about Palin's use of blood libel. It was perfectly appropriate language. Its just that people who really don't like her, mostly liberals, are pretending to think somethings wrong with "blood libel". If she hadn't said those words, the same people would be pretending to be outraged over something else. And in fact, the same folks are pretending to be upset that she injected herself into the situation. Everyone knows the media really injected her into the situation, all she did was respond to attacks on her. Again, people who don't like her are pretending on this. -------------------------------------------- Palin viewed as more sincere and believable after watching speech Media Curves, a company who utilizes focus groups for national surveys, did a focus group among 1,437 self-reported Democrats, Republicans and Independents revealed that Sarah Palin was more sincere and believable after viewing her speech in response to the shootings. Respondents were asked to rate Sarah Palin on a scale from 1-7 regarding likeability, believability and sincerity, with 1 representing “not at all strong in this attribute” and 7 representing “extremely strong in this attribute.” With the exception of likeability among Democrats, Palin’s attribute ratings increased among all parties after viewing her speech. The most notable increase was her sincerity ratings, which increased from 2.62 to 2.69 among Democrats, from 5.25 to 5.45 among Republicans and from 3.68 to 3.85 among Independents. Again, no sensible thinking American would hold Palin responsible for a mad man’s shootings. The guy was clearly a psycho who was obsessed with leaving his mark on society by killing. The media and left who fabricated this narrative on the right inspiring the shootings. Americans don’t fall for their crap. Another thing, I remember how those republicans of the establishment criticized Sarah Palin for doing this video and responding to the criticisms. Charles Krauthammer and Dana Perino among the few. Her critics who blamed her for the shootings, did wane in their falsehoods. Palin has every right to defend herself. As I see it, during the Bush administration, those kept quiet while Bush’s popularity and reputation plummeted. Brava to Palin. cubachi.com
