I'm not so sure about that. I completely agree with you that it is not just a one side thing.

And yes, THEIR tactics are less than honorable. A website with crosshairs, come shoot an M-16 with me to defeat her.

I know it's not just the Republicans, Democrats, or Tea Partiers. It's everybody. Sarah was just unfortunate enough to be in the middle of this one when it blew up.

You don't have a clue about my emotions.

I don't want company or assurance. I want people like you and me to hold the people that we elect to serve us accountable for their actions.

I'm not so sure he was left of center. From what I read, he was reading/studying many things including Mein Kampf as well as Communist Manifesto and was having extreme bouts of paranoia and mistrust. Perhaps its fairer to say he was searching for something in a philosophy of life and this was part of the path that he took, as terrible as most of us think it is. This sounds hauntingly familiar to what happened here in Pittsburgh almost 2 years ago by a guy named Richard Poplawski who killed 3 Pittsburgh cops with an AK47 as his mother opened the front door to speak with them. No discourse, nothing. He just offed 2 of them as they stood on the porch when she opened the door and another who was out on the street who made an attempt to rescue them. He too was also 22 years old and was supposedly having, what sounds like to me, a difficult time in the same way as this kid. Even some of the materials mentioned that he was reading are the same. Check it out. Here's just one article of many.

Anyway, what Palin's PAC did with the gunsight ad is reckless, arguably, beyond measure.

Weird. Definitely some bad language in this one. Beware.

Goofus made us aware of this a week ago, but in case you didnt see this clip, to me , the connection is there.

But ya know, Len, what Sarah Palin has to say about about this is just reload.

Today was my birthday, ( we were joking around a few years ago about my dad's 54 Corvette and - due to a stormy January day much like today - having some difficluty getting to the hospital in time for my delivery, and that was fun sharing that with you all)
anyway , I spend much of today contemplating the issue of public service, the payoff vs the fulfillment.

I used to want to bring awareness to stop the war and now I just want to stop the hate.

yeah, stop the hate and the well tailored launching of the hate.

and pretending there is no hate when there is is not really an effective remedy.

somewhere between stopping the hate (i appreciated those words MG) and mental illness (i think this merits mention here too), i will put this here.

Wow Agnes! I'm not even sure I got to the end. I watched at least six.

Thank you!

on this MLK day and thinking about Arizona i am wondering why some think that because someone has different beliefs that they do not like, understand or makes them afraid it is something to be eradicated?
