It amazes me how scared people are of Sarah Palin.
I think you're mistaking ridicule for fear.
She would had been last years news if the Democrats had left her alone. But they put her in the spot light, go figure.
Uh huh....quit her job MIDTERM so she could make tons of $$ giving speeches (way to take care of your constituents there babe), then stars in her own reality show (which is almost physically painful to watch). But it's the Dems that have kept her in the media spotlight. Ok.
I hope that they do continue to try to blame the Tea Party for the shooting because it really makes them look foolish and desperate.
I don't know if there's anyone to blame, save for the psycho that actually shot. I've heard that people that went to college with him about 3 years ago before he was kicked out said he was a stoner and an atheist but I've heard other comments about how his views had morphed into some white separatist movement. No confirmation either way so, who knows. However, it doesn't excuse the extreme rhetoric coming out of the Tea Party
candidates.....there's a difference between some random left-wing blogger saying stupid stuff and people who actually speak for a party. We have a former candidate for Vice President putting up crosshairs on specific district representatives, then when asked about it says "don't retreat, reload" & the fact that they didn't take it down until this last Saturday AND now they're trying to say they were "survey marks", not crosshairs - says something. And don't forget, Gifford had her office vandalized shortly after Palin's crosshairs pic went up and has received a stream of death threats, as did many other of Palin's crosshairs targets.
Then there's Sharron Angle (R-NV) talking about "taking Harry Reid out" with "second amendment remedies"....
“You know, our Founding Fathers, they put that Second Amendment in there for a good reason and that was for the people to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. And in fact, Thomas Jefferson said it’s good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years.”
“I hope that’s not where we’re going, but, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying, ‘my goodness what can we do to turn this country around?’ I’ll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out.”

http://www.examiner.com/democrat-in-las ... z1Af2zPlDcThose people actually speak for the Republican party (Tea Party) and, IMHO, need to be a tad more careful with the words they choose to use. Note.....this does NOT mean I'm advocating for censorship of ANY kind. Just that dolts like Palin & Angle need to think before they speak. A difficult task for Saint Sarah, I know, but still.
Someone who can get us back on track and kick start the economy with jobs
I'm disappointed in a lot of things he's done (or rather, hasn't done), but ya gotta give credit where credit is due.
get us out of Afghanistan.
:nods:
On another note.....way to go Grandma!!!

TUCSON, Ariz. (CBS/KPHO/AP) Four people are being hailed as heroes after Saturday's mass shooting in Tucson that left six dead and 14 others wounded, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
PICTURES: Arizona Shooting Victims
Daniel Hernandez used his hands to stop the bleeding from congresswoman's head. Roger Salzgeber and Joseph Zamudio tackled the suspect, Jared Loughner. But it was a 61-year-old woman who grabbed the magazine and handgun from the gunman that witnesses said helped prevent further tragedy.
"It was one shot, and then a moment with nothing, and then a series of shots," Patricia Maisch, of Tucson, told CBS affiliate KPHO. "I saw him coming down the line of chairs there, in front of the Safeway, just shooting people."
Two men tackled the gunman, but he could have done more damage. He still had the gun in his hand as he laid face-to-face with Maisch, she said.
"I was waiting to be shot, I was wondering how it was gonna feel to be shot," she told the station.
Maisch said she didn't stop to think of her own safety, she didn't hesitate for a second.
"I immediately knelt up over him, because he was right there almost on top of me, and the gun was in his right hand," she said.
She said she grabbed the 9mm handgun and the fully loaded magazine he took out of his pocket, disarming him before he could inflict more damage.
Even after all she's done, Maisch remained humble. She credits the two men who took the shooter down, rather than patting herself on the back. Witnesses said Maisch was screaming, "give me the gun" as she knelt over the gunman.
She said she doesn't remember what she said, but that she'll never forget that tragic day.
A federal judge, a congressional aide and a young girl were among the six people killed, while Giffords and 13 others were injured in the bursts of gunfire outside a Tucson supermarket.
Suspect Jared Loughner, 22, will face a federal court hearing Monday afternoon. Loughner is charged with one count of attempted assassination of a member of Congress, two counts of killing an employee of the federal government and two counts of attempting to kill a federal employee. More charges are expected.
