Peace-seeking conservatives, pls understand. Palin rhetoric is UNNECESSARY provocation;
it stabs hearts. Pls reject her in the interest of healing.

Peaceful Americans, pls refute Sarah Palin if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Rep. Giffords event is too raw, too real.



Remember, these were Sarah's exact words in reference to the "Ground Zero Mosque";

"Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand. Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in the interest of healing," the former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate tweeted on Sunday.

In another message, she wrote, "Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real."

Muslims who never uttered a word of violent rhetoric were expected to be unheard and unseen years after the 9-11. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf never used words or imagery invoking violence, yet Sarah Palin was outraged that he would not agree to remove the 'offensive' sight of a Muslim cultural center several blocks from Ground Zero.

Sarah Palin used the imagery and rhetoric of guns and targeting political opponents, including Representative Gabriel Giffords. Then when Rep. Giffords and 19 others are shot at a political event, we are expected to shut up and ENDURE the rantings of Palin. Palin is the "victim"?

1. This is DU. She is a familiar phenomenon..
...to anyone who haunts the boards.

Difference is, instead of trolling a board, or blog comments, Mrs. Palin is trolling an entire country.

Breathtaking in scale, but not anything new. Different in degree, but not different in nature.

We know from trolls.
