“Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own. "

[Kablooie]

“Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own,” Palin said. “They begin and end with the criminals who commit them.”

So ... Charles Manson should not be in jail for the murders his followers committed.

He didn't order anyone to murder those people. He just made suggestions and they took them to extremes.

Poor Charlie. After all these years finally he has a champion in Sarah Palin.

1. She made an admission of guilt.

2. Then why have we been fighting in Afghanistan for 8 years?

The terrorist who flew the planes into the towers were all killed, so IF those monstrous acts of criminality stand on their own, why did we attack two other countries?

5. Major Hasan--they couldn't wait to turn that into TERRA instead of a lone

act of "monstrous criminality"--because they thought it would hurt Obama politically.

6. Not trying to argue the war - that is another matter

My point is they want to use the monstrous act to start a war, but can't take the heat when that monstrous act was incited by their own rhetoric.

You either apply it to none or all.

7. Yes, I agree with you--just offering another example. They pick and choose, depending

on what's politically advantageous for them. They couldn't blame Obama for this latest thing, and it's a pretty funky coincidence that Palin used an image of a gunsight on this woman...so now this is all an isolated incident of crazy and we need not look further than the shooter. Just so predictable.

3. Only a nincompoop would declare that we should never look at the root causes

of violent acts. Oh, wait...PALIN said this...

4. And the DC sniper mastermind too! Sarah Palin must ache for his freedom.

He didn't pull any triggers either, correct?

8. OK, Sarah: 9-11. America, STOP BEING MEAN TO OSAMA BIN LADIN!!!!
