Live vote: Weigh in on Palin's reaction
MSNBC/politics Vote: Weigh in on Palin's reaction

In a new video, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin said the responsibility for the Arizona shootings rests solely with the alleged shooter and blamed “journalists and pundits” for manufacturing a “blood libel” by blaming it on political rhetoric. Do you agree with her?

1. Interesting the way these views were presented, very
cautiously, but the results are sound.

2. for once it looks like someone put some thought into the survey
statements on which folks voted. At this time nearly 62% of the respondents say no matter what the motive of the shooter in Arizona, the rhetoric needs to be toned down, and that using a term like "blood libel" makes things worse. I agree.

3. Another thing they carefully avoided -- any mention of right wing culpability.
that poll question allows right-wing oriented voters to indulge their delusion that both sides do it, so they feel much more free to vote for "tone down"

4. You said what I was thinking but much more
succinctly.
