It doesn't make sense to start taking the words of private citizens who happen to be part of a certain political party, and holding anybody who subscribes to that party as being of the same opinion or point of view. That is generalizing. Further, it is invalidating the opinions of those people saying the things in question, implying that "They shouldn't feel that way, or they don't HAVE THE RIGHT to feel that way," effectively judging them as people for the opinions they express. Well, now you are encroaching on the free universal rights of humans, beyond just being a US citizen.
I am not urging you to take responsibility for the ugly things said by anyone else, newpolitics. I am urging you to condemn outlandish, inflammatory, violent speech....no matter who says it. These people can all express their feelings without such language, and using it raises a level of hysteria and anger that MAY have helped contribute to what happened on Saturday.
It's cheap, sleazy and demeans us all...and we should stop tolerating it as if it's just background noise.
Why should I condemn them? We are all adults. If the words of a few on twitter effect our actions, then we have problems of our own that we need to address. Perhaps Palin should consider her own words first. She has chosen to put herself into the public realm. If she incites violent sentiment towards herself then perhaps she should listen to the words and sentiments of others. If she chooses not to, that is her own fault. She knows how people feel about her, but she continues to parade herself around. It's her own fault. Stop blaming people for reacting a certain way. She doesn't hold an office. She doesn't DO ANYTHING. She has an internet show. Yet, she has turned so much of our country against our standing President. That is pretty infuriating from an objective standpoint, because she offers nothing constructive, only the hope of some possible future vindication if she is elected POTUS. It's a circus.
You are also a fxxking idiot, The only one who has TURNED the country AGAINST him, is the OBAMA HIMSELF. But you all will continue to blame OTHERS, make EXCUSES for the Obama and his Comrades in arms, and go out and DESTROY people because that is all your PARTY has and know what to do.
