Palin's right wing inversion politics
Holy crap! I think my irony meter exploded! I expect Keith to point out the hypocrisy of her position tonight:

Notice that Palin says journalists “purport to condemn” hatred and violence. She’s actually claiming that these “journalists and pundits” don’t really condemn hatred and violence — that their condemnations are a deliberate sham intended to incite violence against her. This is right wing inversion politics honed to a sharp point.

And notice that Palin spends hundreds of words arguing that extreme rhetoric has no effect on real world violence — then accuses “journalists and pundits” of inciting violence with rhetoric. You don’t expect logic from a dim bulb like Palin, but this is extraordinarily un-self-aware, and viciously hypocritical.

The bottom line: Sarah Palin is using a mass murder to advance her political ambitions.

6. Actually, if funnier than that .... it goes like this ....
"My incendiary rhetoric is good, but your criticism of my incendiary rhetoric is bad."

4. i just have to ask
what "violence" against her? has there been an assassination attempt on her life? have prominent politicians suggested that the only way to beat her politically is to kill her? of course, i would never condone such threats, but she is plainly delusional and is making shit up about herself - cause it always has to be about her. to ms. palin, violence is not agreeing with her every word and move. i'm thinking she is just plain psycho!
