They eulogized her in terms of her opposition to her own party and to the White House!!

Geez. First these asshole rile up the crazies, then when one of their crazies kills someone, they praise her only in terms of her difference from other Democrats, giving them more and more ammo to themelves in the process. (So they can rile up more crazies, etc.)

5. I find that my peace of mind,
not to mention my overall being well-informed, is immeasurably improved by never watching Fox.

19. Keith and hopefully Rachel will be on tonight.
Rachel had the hit list on her website, but Palin apparently scrubbed it recently. No worries. That hit list will be stapled to that grifter's forehead. She owns this tragedy. :mad:

9. She was very good on environmental issues too.
Some of her positions drove me crazy but you had to put them in the context of her district.

12. Republican leaders bear some responsibility. This is what happens when
Republicans (Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, Glenn Beck, etc) talk freely about violence, over-throwing the government and reloading with any repudiation from GOP leaders.

We all knew something like this would happen sooner or later.

Prayers for Rep. Giffords and the other victims.

14. Fox keeps on doing it. The closest they come to speculation of
Edited on Sat Jan-08-11 03:20 PM by skip fox
intent: was this someone who was derange or was not. We don't know.

Meanwhile, though the crawl still doesn't identify her party, they discuss her positions (pretending to identify her) while only mentioning the ones they like. As though she was a Republican.

This has bothered me more than anything in a long time.

It might sink Palin when her map (see post #7; thanks, AtomicKitten!) becomes better known. That might be the only spark of light in this gathering storm.

But the idea that congresspeople can be shot while they are talking to their constituents . . . in a democracy???????

15. Talking about John Roll, thje federal judge who may have been killed, Fox just now
actually did mention a decision of his that stirred up the radio talk shows and garnered him threatening messages.

Why wd Fox do this???? To take our eyes off of Palin's map (see #7 above). She is their favorite, as is once more made apparent. They'll even denegrate conservative talk shows (though they didn't say conservative) nto save her puddin'.

17. I turned to Fox to see how they were covering it.....and was appalled at the fact that
even during this tragedy, they were trashing the President by attempting to state that she worked often against her own party and the President......and they forgot to mention that she voted FOR the Health Care Bill and was against the AZ Immigration law.

They are assholes through and through, and they will never apologize or change.....as they do not care about anyone.....other than money and hate.
