Sarah Palin Pays Tribute to Sandy Hook at NRA

Twenty-six people -- 20 students and six adults -- were shot and killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14. Sarah Palin's message is: If you feel devastated about the slaughters of Sandy Hook, or Aurora, or Tucson, instead of trying to prevent crazy people from acquiring weapons, you should do something constructive.

Like pray.

"Where we see tragedy," said NRA chief lobbyist Chris Cox, "Barack Obama and Michael Bloomberg, they see opportunity. While we pray for God to comfort those suffering unimaginable pain, they rush to microphones and cameras, gather in war rooms on Capitol Hill and scheme about how to use that suffering to push their political agenda."

Yeah, that makes sense.

I can definitely see where praying is much more effective than trying to pass universal background checks for gun purchases, limit the size of magazines or ban assault weapons.

Edited to add...

And here's a link to ELEVEN of the 2013 NRA convention speeches that have been given, so far, (for those that can stomach any of them): http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyaSPxNidLLt8JFzHhnmUUodYEnIcsjH3

p.s. Beck is supposed to give the keynote speech but that one isn't uploaded yet.
I think that perhaps he will be speaking tomorrow, Sunday.

Nothing true, nothing that makes any sense, nothing that even hints at simple human compassion.

Praying is as effective as doing nothing.

I'm really inclined to vote in 2014 and give every republican I meet a hard, humiliating debate.

I sincerely hope you personally never face the kind of tragedy you exploit. I hope when you are publicly confronted by hysterically grieving parents, you can keep your composure. I hope you do regain consciousness soon and realize your side as also pushing their political agenda. I hope you learn to recognize gifts from G*D, like the blessing of compromise. You might consider, while women hunting is a good thing, that t-shirt makes your breasts look like a fibromyalgia medication commercial. May you gain insight, compassion, honesty, and tact. I hope at such time as your head exits your eliminatory canal, your chin and ears don't catch (remember to check for both earrings after exiting). Please enjoy an extended vacation, soon.

corporate owned piece of sh** Sarah Palin is.

Lets face it folk. You can't be that stupid and be able to feed you're self. You can't be that despicable and walk upright.
You can be that despicable and stupid if you're paid well.

people thinking. This much hate towards a president that we can't get anything done in congress is shameful. To think we are practically being runned by the right wing nut bags with the ilk of Palin,Bachman,Rand,Cruz and even Cantor and many more right wing haters. I pray to god we can bounce back from this hate.

It's all about the $$$ for Sarah, as it is for Rush, Coulter, et al, and the biggest fraud of them all, Faux News.

She knows how to fleece the rubes: Be more outrageous each and every day. And she is.

And all I can think is, "I want them back! I want them all back!" But nothing will bring them back.

Sarah Palin has no shame. She is famous for . . . what? She makes the Kardashians look like Rhodes Scholars.

I don't know what to say, except that we can't quit. For the sake of these innocents at Sandy Hook, and for all the innocents who each day meet a premature death or horrible and needless injury, we cannot quit. We must press on until this country comes to its senses.

Ohhh and you don't see an opportunity NRA? to sell thousands of guns and thousands of "membership" cards which lines your own pockets full of money by scaring the public into thinking that some new world order in black helocopters are coming to take guns away
