Greetings from Florida! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to browse your site on my iphone during lunch break. I really like the information you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m amazed at how quick your blog loaded on my mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, good site!

Dear Stein,

(She had an entire media machine attacking her, she had to come out and defend herself. Obama on the other hand is worshiped by the great majority of the media no matter what he does.)

Sounds like you have never heard of FOX News. Can’t remember the last time I heard something positive about Obama. Or the last time I heard something negative about Palin that she didnt bring upon herself. She and her speech writer should study the art of communication. If you say something or have a point your trying to make and people take it the wrong way. You didnt do a good job of getting your point across. McCain opened Padora’s box. I pray for this world.

I really hate to see us fighting among each other over this – this only serves the Wall Street interests who have taken over our country.

Instead of fighting over Palin – who in my view would have major difficulty getting mainstream Republican support, we could be trying to find common ground in doing something really worthwhile:

1. Ending the war in Afghanistan and Iraq and closing 900+ military bases around the world
2. Abolishing the Federal Reserve (and getting rid of the banking/Wall Street crisis in the process).

How do we do this? By getting behind Ron Paul for the Republican nomination (and making sure no nutter shoots him in the mean time). I believe there are enough Republicans left who remember when the grassroots ran the Republican Party at the precinct level – before corporations took it over. Anyone remember Phyllis Schafly (A Choice Not an Echo)?

I know many of my progressive and liberals friends would want to shoot me for saying this – but fortunately they don’t believe in 2nd amendment remedies.

In case people don’t recall, Ron Paul was the first Republican to correctly label Obama as a “corporatist,” rather than a socialist. See http://stuartbramhall.aegauthorblogs.com/2010/04/13/ron-paul-my-kind-of-gadfly/

@Sally,
The “Together We Thrive” T-shirts and paraphernalia was issued by Organizing for America to the University. If you have a T-shirt, look on the bottom. It says,”Rocking America and Rocking the Vote”. Palins speech was about correcting misinformation being broadcast about the tragedy and to stop pointing fingers. The media and political parties have a responsibility to maintain a proper, civil decorum in the event of a tragedy, not to be abusive and exploit it for political gain. She spoke that we as a nation need to be unified in facing our problems instead of wildly accusing each other without knowledge of the facts.

Bottom line I will approach the elephant in the room. Palin brings this on herself. Not gunsights on the map? It’s surveyor’s symbols? Ummm… right. Wonderful lie. But the problem is this… it’s a lie that everyone knows is a lie. I can say: ” Oh those were surveryor’s symbols” over Sarah Palin’s face. I think we should hire a professional “surveyor” and ” survey” her down in the street. A lie is a lie. She won’t own up to anything. This is a woman who calls anyone with intelligence, practice, and a job track record… “an elitist” so she can make stupidity a viable option for the highest office in the land. Like clone Christine O’Donnell” I’m not a witch… I’m you!” This is someone who calls highly trained journalist’s “lamestream media” because they won’t edit her mangled backwards speak into something sensible. This is someone who attacks historical figures, Kennedy, Reagan, Bush, if their philosphy didn’t agree with her bizarre religious cultish beliefs. This is someone who takes political rhetoric into a sexual gutter by calling people who don’t agree with her as “limp or impotent” or that they need to “man-up’. This is a woman who will attack everyone and call it legitimate, but if anyone attacks her, she is a ‘victim’ and she will spend many precious and endless moments whining about it. This is a woman who can take everything.. everything… and anyone.. and broadstroke a paintbrush of ugly on it and them to try to make herself look good.

I can’t think of anyone.. anyone in all my years of being alive and witnessing the political spectrum of politics ,(40 years plus), who embodies such a “redneck trailer trash” attitude of trying to say that a dumbass belongs in the White House because that reflects the “norm’ of who we are in this country. This is an individual who strips every notion that our President should be a person of intellect and respectability that the world would respond to with a sense of honor… down to a level of a media-grasping, vainglorious fame-prostitute who would dip to nut-sucking a drunk in alley if it would get her what she wanted. That.. is not.. and never will be… Presidential material…

Palin’s speech shows what a flip-flop she is : in one sentence she says words do not matter and can not incite, next sentence is all about how the media incite people against her ?!?

I wonder how so many people have not yet realized that she is all about money, money, money. Keep drawing attention will keep money flowing, best PR ever ! She will never be president, but the longer as she keeps people on edge, the better. Beside criticising everyone else and drawing attention to herself with inflamming comments, she has not brought any ideas or anything constructive to the table.

Famed Jewish Harvard Law Professor and attorney Alan Dershowitz sees nothing wrong with Sarah Palin’s use of the term “blood libel” (link below):

@John, According to Fox News, Obama had nothing to do with the tee shirts. The University designed them and gave them away. Did you see his picture on them? Or “Hope and Change?” No, because they were not his idea. As far as the cheering, it was going on for ALL the speakers. I heard on NPR, who interviewed a Tucson resident who was there, that they had been in a state of shock since Saturday, and needed to show some community solidarity by the time of the memorial. Obama certainly did not encourage this…he had to keep pausing in his speech. Also, it was a university campus, and a lot of the audience was students…they cheer for things. Better that than holding up nasty signs and chanting lies, huh? Besides that, Arizona is a Republican state..why can you not just accept that he gave a good speech?
As far as Palin’s defensive speech, it’s always about her. All she would have had to say was, “I am not responsible for these shootings, but I feel terrible about what happened.
If my use of gun rhetoric is making people uneasy, I will stop. I urge the other side to do the same. Civility is possible among parties.” Period…no blaming others, as usual, no denials…it would be so refreshing to hear this woman admit, just once, that she made a mistake. She can’t.

Unfortunately Palin didn’t have much choice, in fact she didn’t enjoy having to because she had to explain how immature the media reacted to the tragedy. While Obama was passing out T-shirts and paraphernalia to pump up the crowd for votes during a memorial, Palin told it like it was explaining how destructive and irresponsible it is to assume how and why things happen with zero facts at hand.
