The Martyrdom of Sarah Palin continues
Yes I did listen to some of Rush this morning...and in case you miss it, the martyrdom of St. Sarah continues. It is not toning it down.

Oh and the memorial...was a political rally.

The fact is that the right is now going through the martyrdom of Sarah, and in the eschatology of the New Israel Sarah is now ... The new Jesus. Sarah has become a christ like figure. Do understand this, the eschatology has entered the talk of El Rushbo, and just as blood libel is not a coincidence, neither is this.

Ah lovely eschatology.

2. And I personally don't doubt it
The death threats part... But for different reasons than she will or think.

3. It's like a film script based on the life of Christ or something.
Ridiculous. :mad:

4. Unless you understand the eschatology behind this
They believe for real they are the most persecuted minority in this country. This is a signal of the end of times...when those in his church will be psectued. You can't argue with eschatology that is this nuts...but she is either Sarah or Deborah... And we are the Phillistines.

To be honest I got an ear for this crap...and it is the most dangerous thing they've done. It is the level of escalation that will be missed by the media...partly on purpose, partly they are not equipped for this crazy talk...which is not crazy...it is the end of times. They believe it.

25. Yep, I grew up on all this stuff...
My family takes this stuff literally. They believe truly believe that the rapture is going to happen any time now and that we're in the end times. They buy into all the Left Behind stuff every step of the way.

They know how I feel about all this so they keep it to themselves now, but I got it through most of my life. My uncle nicknamed him "the one" because they think, like the antichrist, he's got the masses in love with him.

You are right on the mark.

28. Funny I lessened of all this at three in the morning
From a Jesuit Seminarian... In between calls...

As a Jew he warmed me...get familiar with this. In a way this crap scared the Order since they are also in the list. The rise of evangelicals in Mexico is parallel to this as well.

5. Sarah will be Jesus perfected
All that nauseating talk about love and seeking out the rejected of society will be purged. No more of that namby-pamby "lend, expecting nothing in return" anti-capitalist nonsense. "Turn the other cheek"? Only when you KISS MY ASS, motherfuckers! And we not only know the things that make for peace, we'll be dealing them out pretty liberally: Solitary confinement without charge or counsel, waterboardings, electric shocks, sleep deprivation, and so forth. You'll be real peaceful then. Saranatha!

7. My take on Self Centered Sarah
Palin’s video sounds like it ends with a threat.It seems like
the Teabaggers have violence Tourette's And they haven't
learned after what happened last Saturday. The hate rhetoric
continues....In a display that further illustrates the right
wing's inability to understand irony or shame, Sarah Palin
demagogues with hateful, racist, incendiary language to defend
her hateful, racist, incendiary demagoguery.You may not be
Jewish but Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is which makes Sarah's use
of that term even more reprehensible. It's the
"conservatives" that are screaming about the call
for a more civil discourse in this country, because they KNOW
they are the ones that use violent, hateful language in the
political discourse in this country adding to the
unnecessarily violent atmosphere. The Teabaggers use all of
the analogies, RELOAD, CROSSHAIRS, BLOOD LIBEL, LOCK AND LOAD,
CALL TO ARMS. AIM THE FIRST SALVO etc. Are her choice of words
inciteful or ignorant?
There is a difference between blaming her for the shooting
which no one is! Blaming her for the atmosphere and pervasive
hateful rhetoric that is currently surrounding American
politics? She has the right to free speech but C’mon man, when
you are in the public’s eye, use common sense and decency.
THANKS SARAH FOR DIVIDING THE NATION EVEN FURTHER. YOU ARE NOT
THE VICTIM. The victims are the six killed and 13 wounded.
IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU SARAH…great timing. Go see DR.PHIL! Glenn
Beck.During the October 13 2009 edition of his radio ...show,
Glenn Beck likened the Obama administration's treatment of Fox
News to Nazi persecution of Jews, telling other media outlets:
"When they're done with Fox, and you decide to speak out
on something," it would be like "[t]he old, 'first
they came for the Jews, and I wasn't Jewish.' " Beck has
a long history of invoking the Holocaust, the Nazi Party, and
Adolf Hitler to smear the Obama administration, other
progressive individuals and organizations, and the media;
indeed, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) previously criticized
Beck for comparing Al Gore's efforts to raise awareness of
global warming to the Holocaust. It's being talked about
because it's such a horrible coincidence. Not only was
Gabrielle Giffords on Sarah Palin's crosshairs map, but she
spoke out against it before she was shot. If a conservative
had been on the democrats map and spoke out against it, then
got shot, the same things would be said.Why are politics even
part of this debate? The facts as we know them right now are
that this guy was mentally ill. That signs were there and
missed. Why isn't the focus on how we deal with mental illness
in this country? Please, anyone?
Congresswoman Giffords was the TARGET which brings in
politics. Rep. Giffords sent an email last week to change the
'hate' rhetoric by working with a Republican in Arizona. No
fact has been proven by a Doctor that this guy was mental -
YET. The Media say this 'cause sensible people would never
likely buy into the 'hate' rhetoric from Republicans to win
elections. But less reasonable people would like, this guy.
Btw, Rep. Giffords and her family got numerous threats from
Tea Party Voters in Arizona during last year's House Election
in Arizona. Hope this helps...
It’s not about Palin,you just have to keep hitting refresh.
Her minions take off the negative comments as soon as they
appear. Could you imagine having that job. Guess it would be
good for laughs as you would get to see what people think of
that fine Simple Syrup. 
I don't blame anyone except the lunatic who pulled the
trigger, but to expect people not to talk about this is very
unrealistic

10. Welcome to DU
Realize though they did place a hit on the media...and there is a complex eschatology at play here.

8. Being the victim gets you a lot - but it doesn't get you the Presidency.
She plays the victim well and will continue to make Millions of $$$ but she is completely unelectable at this point. Everyone knows it. Dems, Repubes, everyone.

27. For Sarah???
I posted last night about something similar someone said, that I think she should be on suicide watch, or that she may have one of her own followers try to kill her to truly make her a martyr.

Is that what you're referring to?? I truly think she's almost to that point, expecially after losing so much this past week.

29. No for the identity christians
She was chosen, anointed by god... Then end of times are here and Obama is THE ONE. When I get home, after lunch, I'd better put a cliff's notes of this. Most people are really not familiar with this crap. This is the worst kind of escalation possible.

9. the only way to combat this
is with humor. I also listened for five minutes or so. what an agitated wee man he is. we hear his schtick and our ears bleed, his listeners bow down and adore him.

I did some pondering about us/them. we could never tolerate such an obnoxious personality, but I do believe they very much love being told what to think and what to do. Not totally robotic, but never argue with him or challenge anything he says.

14. Not as intensely as oh Monday
Just in the car while getting groceries.

My ear though is attuned to this crap... Partly course work, partly family history, partly having many a conversation with a police officer who did gang intel work...

13. Disgusting
These people just don't get it. Sarah Palin releases a Blood Libel video in the wake of the Memorial services. Rush calling the memorial services a Political rally. These people are going to elevate the level of violence in their rhetoric, not the other way around.

34. We are nailing her to the cross aren't we?
Guess I had better tone down the violent rhetoric but hey, what goes around comes around. I'd love to see a cartoon of the right's savior Sarah nailed to the cross. She plays the role so well.

It has to be somebody among her most ardent suporters...

Now that you asked... yes such an image exists.... Sarah ON the cross.



And again, this is not funny.

39. No, she's nailing herself to the cross because no one will do it for her.
and then, of course, she and her followers are SAYING that we're the ones nailing.

Sorry, Sarah, but you aren't important enough to go through the bother.

We want you to shut up and go away, but it's not worth any effort beyond telling you to shut up and go away, much as one does to an annoying fly that you're too apathetic to actually get off your chair and shoo out the door.

36. Jesus doesn't want to push The Button and bring about nuclear armageddon.
Well, maybe he does, I can't speak for Jesus. Something about his words and recommendations -might- make one consider that he doesn't. Can't say the same for Sarah.

And oh, how she is suffering, compared to the dead and injured in the shooting...oh the pain, the pain.

Wait, didn't they turn the Schiavos into a political opportunity? Yes, yes they did.
