7 Weird Ways To Bug-Proof Your Picnic
"I hate violence." Those are the latest words from Sarah Palin on the tragic shooting in Tucson, Az., of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 19 others that has once again placed the former Alaska governor in the middle of the national political discussion.
The words were part of an e-mail exchange read by conservative commentator Glenn Beck on his syndicated radio show and first reported by Jonathan Martin on Politico.
Here is the full e-mail as read by Beck:
"I hate violence. I hate war. Our children will not have peace if politicos just capitalize on this to succeed in portraying anyone as inciting terror and violence. Thanks for all you do to send the message of truth and love. And God has the answer. -- Sarah"
Palin's comments come amid the swirl of rhetoric concerning the most discussed "crosshairs" in political memory. On her Facebook page last year, Palin posted a map of 20 Congressional districts being targeted by her political action committee, SarahPac, in the 2010 midterm election. Gifford's Arizona district was one of them.
At the time Giffords herself responded.
"When people do that, they've gotta realize there are consequences to that action," she told MSNBC.

Both Glen Beck and Sarah Palin are irresponsible and divisive people.

PLEASE!!! HOW COULD PALIN "PASS THE BUCK" AFTER
ALL HER VIOLENT RHETORIC, IMPLICATIONS, &
DEMONIZING?
THIS WAS CLASSIC PEE PARTY POLITICS UNFOLDING
ALRIGHT. THE PEE PARTY REALLY WANTED SOME OF
THEIR FOOLS TO PERFORM IN THIS MANNER AT ONE OF
THE TOWN HALL MEETINGS, WHILE THE PRESIDENT WAS
SELLING HEALTHCARE REFORMS. THAT WAS ONE OF THE
REAL UNDERLYING PLANS. WHY ELSE WOULD THEY TRY TO
PAINT THE PRESIDENT AS A GANGSTER, HITLER, STALIN,
OR MAO TSE TUNG REINCARNATED??? THEN SHOW UP WITH
GUNS!!! THEY WANTED THE WEAK MINDED, THE SICK
MINDED, AND MENTALLY RETARDED TO RESPOND WITH
VIOLENCE.....THEN PEE PARTY LEADERS COULD STAND
BACK, LIKE THEY ARE DOING NOW,
AND SAY "OUR VIOLENT RHETORIC, IMPLICATIONS, &
CONCEPTS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT"!!! PALIN,
MCCAIN, & THE PEE PARTY SHOULD BE SUED.

Boy..BV is ALL over this story. You'd think they'd have shown the same enthusiasm when it was pointed out the other day that 60% of all black babies conceived in New York city end up aborted by their mothers.
Considering the founding and history of Planned Parenthood..one wonders why that story (at least on a black site) didn't receive the same treatment as this one? Why didn't the writers submit as many (breathless) articles on that topic?
Are the innocent lives of black babies (even in our eyes) just not worth that much? Or, to be more accurate, are they not worth much to black liberals?

This is to teabaggeredgar: You are one ignorant racist bigot! First of all, comprehension is not one of your strong points is it? Your verbal verbiage is just that...CRAZY, and your rhetoric in your post reveals what a fool you truly are! By the way, the there really is no distinction between the democratx or the Republicans, and you have just proven that. GO keep worshiping your royal highness Sarah Palin as she laughs all the way to the bank! She is just making fools out of all her worshipers!

Sarah, I bet the classmates of the little girl that was shot dead are asking, why did a bad man kill her? What do you plan to tell them. Remember if your little girl was at this rally what if you was shot Sarah? Do you have an answer for my questions Sarah? You don't have any answer's Sarah.
Both Palin and Beck are cowards and they know it, but the people that listen to them don't know; and they don't care.
The Sarahpac map is dangerous, I thought so the first time I saw it.Both Palin and Beck are trailor's to America.
