RWers would do well to keep in mind that stating facts is not an "attack."
Fact: Sarah Palin put up a campaign image that featured cross-hairs that targeted, by name, members of the Democratic Party, one of them being the shooting victim, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
it was an image that was no different than has been used by both parties in the past
Fact: Sarah Palin followed up with violent rhetoric telling her supporters and fans to not "Retreat, but to RELOAD!"
Do not retreat, reload is a common phrase used to show strength; not miliatrily but metaphorically.
Fact: Giffords had an interview on MSNBC shortly after the cross-hair sign and urged Sarah Palin to reconsider her actions and rhetoric.
She did not implore Palin. She did what politicians do. She cirticized the other party for something that was not worthy of criticism...but can be made to look wortthy of cirticism
Fact: Sarah Palin's response to that was to mock and scoff at not only her, but the rest of the Left who were making similar appeals at the time (approximately a year ago now)
actually, she mocked and scoffed at the faux outrage...and the others were not making similar appeals...they were outright criticizing her...and she let it be klnown that she sees it as faux outrage.
That being said...I WONDER IF THE LEFT DID NOT CRITICIZE EVERY THING SHE SAYS AND DOES, MAYBE SHE WOULD BE MORE OPEN TO THEIR CRITICSM IF AND WHEN THEY GIVE IT.....But I digress.....
Fact: G. Giffords, a target on Sarah Palin's list, was shoot in the head, point blank assassination style and by some miracle survived.
Yes, she was shot in the head. So were 17 others shot who were NOT politicians on the list
Fact: Sarah Palin immediately pulled down the Cross Hair Sign after the reports came down.
She rightfully reacted to those thast claimed as fact that the chart was the casue of the attack. She did not know it to be false...she just knew it was reported as contrinuting. Of course she took it down.
Fact: Most of the media then presented the above facts...as facts. As they are, well...facts.
That would be like presenting facts about cats to back up statements about dogs. It is reporting facts but that have nothing to do with the issue at hand.
Fact: Sarah and the left have called all the above or people who are stating all the above facts, attackers and crying that she's a victim.
They are attacks. Why was her name and her "facts" brought into the discussion of the shooting? It would be like discussing the actions of a cat when rationalizing the actions of a dog
Stating FACTS, or discussing FACTS, are NOT attacks.
Stating facts and discussing facts about something that is not related to the topic at hand is an attack.
Your spin is pathetic.
Dude...you have REALLY proven yourself to be NOT in touch with reality...in the least.
I stated plain, documented, proven, facts.
And YOU want to talk about spinning and being dizzy?
WoW!!!
Stating fact out of context is manipulating the facts...and I showed how you maipulated the facts.
And you lie. You did not state plain proven facts....She never implored Palin to "stop it". Palin never scoffed at her as I pointed out.....
You want to debate the issues...I am all game.
You want to act like a child and spin the truth and manipulate the facts? No interest.
Lets see where you stand.
