Sarah Palin released a video on her Facebook page that just about knocks it out of the park in reference to the vicious, scurrilous attack on free speech in the wake of the Tucson tragedy.
Sarah Palin: “America’s Enduring Strength” from Sarah Palin on Vimeo.
It runs about 7:40 but well worth a listen.
Other than that we’ll declare an OPEN THREAD to air out all y’alls feelings on this.

Why is it that every time something like this occurs it is always followed up by an assault on personal liberty? It doesn’t matter what party they politicians belong to or whether they are “conservative” or “liberal.” There is always an attempt by those in power to take away our rights in the name of security.
As a nation we need to stop blaming society at large for the regrettable actions of the individual. Every individual in this nation should be held accountable for his or her own actions and those who are in power should stop trying to use these tragedies for political gain and to increase the scope of the federal government………………………………………………………………………………………………..and as long… Read more »
IMO, she is close to being the most powerful woman in America. She is the only one who makes the liberals’ blood run cold, sends them running for cover, and crying for their mommas. She literally scares the wits out of them. Of course, since their wits are few and far between, I guess that wouldn’t be TOO tough…
And that’s why I voted for her. Not him, her.
Im no Palin fan, but what the FUCK does she have to do with this??? Nada, zip, zilch, nothing. the kids a loon…………..period
Southern Libertarian says:
Ill send her over when Im done with her.
Gladiator says:
She was viciously and personally attacked for just that, nothing to do with the murder-spree. She’s defending herself and us by pointing out how this tragedy has taken demagoguery to new lows.
since i post too much politics on facebook apparently, should I start my own blog then?
After listening to that speech, I could picture liberal moonbat heads exploding like pumpkins dropped off a highway overpass.
Every time I see Loughner’s mugshot I think he looks like Uncle Fester on crack.
Uncle Fester
Uncle Fester on crack
If nothing else, the resemblance is uncanny….
Response to Elephant Man @:
Like they will listen to it.
In their mind she is a “vicious retard” (quoting a coworker) and will never bother to see it.
A couple of journaliars over at ABC are now attacking her for her video and posting on FB. They are saying that, once again, she found a way to insert herself into the situation.
Response to Shaitana @: For me FB is for keeping in contact with friends and family. If I need to expound on a topic I use my blog or email. FB is like Thanksgiving dinner with the relatives, don’t get Uncle Ned pissed off debating the national debt or whether Obama was an A+ student or juuust passed at Occidental… Read more »
Watching Sarah Palin’s video, I had to think that “this is what a president should say”. Tonight, Buraq Hussein Obama will be at the University of Arizona campus for a memorial service. Memorial services tend to follow a pattern. They are somber. The speeches are in praise of those memorialized. The speakers do not insert themselves or their personal agendas… Read more »
LC Subotai Bahadur, Lord Pao An says:
Except, of course, when democrats are involved. Remember the Paul Wellstone memorial? It will be interesting to see how long before Ear Leader makes this all about himself.
Grammar Czar says: LC Subotai Bahadur, Lord Pao An says: … It will be interesting to see how long before Ear Leader makes this all about himself. Captain Narcissism? I give it 30 seconds before his speech is peppered with “I” and “me”. Even the passing of people’s loved-ones is merely a conversational spring-board to talking about himself. He utterly… Read more »
Sorry Grammer Czar, I somewhat botched the attribution when doing that quotation. Preview is my friend. Preview is my friend… *sighs*
‘Dumbass just caused a Glock grabbygrab.
Charles Johnson of course went off on her use of the term “blood libel”, and now several networks have echoed his fit. One of my friends posted a link to his screed and I replied: Charles must not get out much. The blood libel claim has been prominently attached to this situation for days now, most famously in the Wall… Read more »
I was just watching Fox News. Apparently somebody has been trying to link her use of the words “blood libel” to anti-Semitism because some victims were Jewish. I was not aware of any such connection. No less than Alan Dershowitz and Charles Krauthammer refuted it.
Response to Sir George @:
I guess I should have read that post first.
Am watching the memorial live. So far, it’s more like a native American politically-correct pep-rally than any other memorial that I’ve ever seen. Waaay to much cheering, self-promotion, and “wooting” than I am comfortable with. “Together We Thrive”?!? WTF is this? A slogan for a memorial/funeral — OMFG! Creepy. But it is early yet — plenty of time for it… Read more »
This was a handy link regarding the blood libel spew, from National Review, listing instances of pundits using the phrase “blood libel”, including Andrew Sullivan who today started denouncing the practice.
Q: How many left-wing media pundits could fit into Andrew Sullivan’s little anti-Palin clown car of crazy?
A: All of them.
LC cmblake6, Imperial Black Ops Technician says:
Exactly.
Sir George says:
I don’t expect that from them at all.
Momma Bear anyone
Well, the press keeps trying to convince us, with a straight face, that it lives up to such ideals.
Elephant Man says:
My dad thought Loughner looked like “Quito” from the Canadian series “Strange Paradise…”

Oops…

Yeah, I’m Jewish and I don’t care if she used the term “blood libel.” The Jews don’t OWN that term, and it is not one which they should want to own. I had the TV on when I got a call, and I came back and thought from all the cheering it was an awards ceremony, until Janet Napolitano in… Read more »
Ted Nugent talked some straight horse-sense in a Washington Times editorial. NUGENT: Be prepared for evil Rather than trying to fathom it, just be ready to stop it There is evil among us. Always has been, always will be. As I write this, in the past four days, a high school assistant principal in Omaha was shot and killed and… Read more »
Response to LC PrimEviL : Uncle Ted normally does.
Response to Library Czar @ #25: The link doesn’t work anymore, Azy. They must have removed it.
At this point I hope that every fucking liberal contracts pancreatic cancer…
…and doesn’t die.
Now I feel much better after reading the latest golden nugget from The Hammer.
And Obama’s speech is over. It was actually a pretty good speech, somber and yet hopeful, but delivered at a drunken fraternity party with free T-shirts and bumper stickers. Someone in the White House planning office was probably stuck in campaign mode (as is his entire administration, which is part of the reason he’s been such a failure), and wanted… Read more »
In an electrifying moment, the president revealed that Giffords, who on Saturday was shot point-blank in the head, had opened her eyes for the first time shortly after his hospital visit. First lady Michelle Obama held hands with Giffords’ husband, Mark Kelly, as the news brought soaring cheers from thousands gathered for a memorial service. Then he took a loaf… Read more »
Response to Jaybear, Colonel of Imperial Ancient Artillery @: [Wannabe] Emperor B. Hussein Obama doesn’t even think of doing a damned thing unless it gives him political points or gain, I’m certain he’s only doing this apperarance for his own political gain. As for Gov. Palin, she scares the shit and piss out of the left, therefore, they smear, tar,… Read more »

Or so he would have us believe.
LC Subotai Bahadur, Lord Pao An says: We have a specialist in Slavic languages amongst our ranks. I will leave it to him if he wants to explain the entymology of the Sheriff’s name. As a non-expert, the closest I can get is a form of Dupa, which means “arse.” So a “dupnik” would be a person who’s an arse.… Read more »
Folks, Folks! We can point this out: Judge Roll, also killed by Loony Loughner, was a REPUBLICAN. Note this, from Judgepedia: John McCarthy Roll was a federal judge for the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. He joined the court in 1991 after being nominated by President George H.W. Bush. Roll was shot and killed on January… Read more »

Tallulah, FOR SHAME! Implying that our Leftists are that slow on the uptake…
He’d been in for nearly 20 years and they just NOW got around to blaming Bush Senior?
The state of our schools these days…
