“You know, Sarah Palin just can’t seem to get it, on any front. I think she’s an attractive person, she is articulate,” Clyburn said on the Bill Press radio show, according to The Hill. “But I think intellectually, she seems not to be able to understand what’s going on here.”
I’d say it was a case of the pot calling the kettle black, but I’m sure that would be racist and political “hate speech.” Clyburn is good at inventing racist acts as well. Unfortunately, he is not intelligent enough to understand that lies are easily proven as lies when there are large groups of people around, all with some form of video capturing devices. Next came Adam Serwer, at the Washington Post who wrote the following drivel:
Now, mere days after the incident, with six people dead and Giffords still recovering, Palin is making herself the center of attention. It might please the audience for conservative talk radio or Fox News, but most people will be disgusted. As well they should be.
How do Serwer and others like him sleep at night? And what color is the sky in their deranged world? Palin is making herself the center of attention? How dare she respond to continuous and constant claims that she be held responsible for mass murder! Who does she think she is? And how dare she defend innocent people who are also being accused of fomenting a “climate of hate” – by merely voicing their thoughts and opinions – so pervasive that madmen bear no responsibility for their own actions. The depth and stench of the manure the Left is shoveling is astounding. They made Sarah Palin the center of attention by attempting to blame her, on the backs of the dead, solely in a demented attempt to score political points.
More followed. She was also demonized for not being apologetic by the LA Times in an article with the headline “Sarah Palin unapologetic after criticism related to Arizona shootings“. “Criticism” must be the Newspeak way to say disgusting demonization. Further, why should she apologize? There is one person responsible for the murderous rampage in Tucson and that is Jared Loughner. She was accused of “sullying” the nation with her very existence. Others claimed she has decided that she is one of the victims of the Tucson shooting.
The list goes on and on. The epically disgusting behavior of the Left during a time of tragedy cannot even fully be explained nor chronicled. It’s too much. One thing is clear; Sarah Palin scares them. And it’s not because she is violence foment-y or fosters a “climate of hate.” It’s because she is not afraid of them. It is because she is strong. It is because she will not let them silence American citizens. She won’t be cowed by their attempts to sneeringly dismiss a “little woman’s” intelligence. She didn’t run when they then moved onto attempts to outright dehumanize and demonize her. Is it also because her statement today showed real leadership? While the Left continues to odiously politicize tragic deaths, Sarah Palin is striving to help strengthen the country with comforting and emotion-filled words in a time of tragedy. She is choosing to stand up for, comfort and inspire her fellow citizens. She is not trying to pin the murderous acts of a lunatic on good, innocent people to further her own end.
My “new tone”? I’ll choose Sarah Palin.
