"never once during her eight minute diatribe did she mention the victims,or their families and what they are going through"

hey bill before you call someone a liar you would be well served to re-watch the video,only some far-right loon could fined any empathy expressed by palin for the victims of this senseless tragedy.i repeat she is a classless,self-serving individual who love;s being portrayed as a victim of people who are supposedly out to discredit her,the truth being she discredit;s her self by by her actions.

if nothing else the rambling video by the former half-term governor of alaska revealed more of her dark side and why she should never be considered for high public office.
never once during her eight minute diatribe did she mention the victims,or their families and what they are going through,what it did expose was her acting like the aggrieved party in the matter.what it did showcase was her as a self-centered,unlettered,insensate boor.it show,s there is no softer side of sarah.

Our goal should be rational discourse even when we disagree. Using terms like "cat pack" that are apparently intended to be disparaging (what in the world is a cat pack) simply shuts people out and does nothing to advance the discussion. Sarah Palin's speech was strident and illogical (words don't hurt but yes they do). She had an opportunity to elevate the discourse but didn't. You can debate her politics but she didn't deliver an "Presidential" level speech.

Susan, your comments about Sarah Palin REEK of complete and utter jealousy of her. You remind me of the girls in high school who decided that they didn't like some other girl because of whatever.....and proceeded to dump on her for anything and EVERYTHING. Your pettiness is obvious. Mrs. Palin did not inject herself into this discussion....she was brought into it by liberals falsely accusing her of being the cause of it. She defended herself admirably and honestly! Why don't you and your "cat pack" find something else to dump on. By constantly harping on ANYTHING Mrs. Palin does you expose yourself to be both jealous and petty.

What about war room and campaign. Does those terms make you want to shoot someone ?
Sarah did nothing wrong. Nothing not done by Democrats before. Even liberal sheriff says he has no evidence.
Chill. If Sarah runs she expects few liberal votes. Thankfully liberals are but 20 % of population and dropping

Do provide link to that quote. Are you lying like barry did in his speech ?

No she can't win, nor should she. Inhumanity isn't an American trait that should be fostered. Anyone who thinks superimposing targets over political candidates is funny, clever, or just good politicking has serious moral and/or cognitive issues. To defend, rather than apologizing, is even more reprehensible.
The act was impossible to do without realizing the implications and how it might spur the less-well among us, giving pause to even the most dim witted among us.
