and right before or after that you brought up palin...
yes. It's newsworthy when a congresswoman is shot in the head, and she is on a target list by a presidential potential from teh other party. If Hilary had such a list, and some repub senator got capped, you bet it'd be news. If you don't think it's newsworthy, please call up everyone from FOX to MSN and everyone in between and let them know. it was all over the news, and a popular topic worldwide on message boards.
do you deny that others have blamed palin?
Of COURSE others have blamed Palin - and wrongfully so. She wasn't connected.
I like political analysis, and in this case, Palin's biggest strength in 2010- shooting up machine guns, using shitloads of target/reload imagery, and claiming victory as a result - ended up being her biggest deficit in 2012. People will look at this 50 years from now in history class, and see this month as the one Palin went from the one to beat obama, to out of the running. The 2012 presidential result probably just changed. Obama's probably SICk abuot the fact he won't be running against palin now.
So tony, of COURSE a shitload of people blamed Palin. I was not one of them. People can say "but you hinted...." and "I see what you're doing here..." and I'm sorry you feel that way. It was the top news story - congressman on palin's target list gets shot in head. Sorry if I engaged in discussion about the top news story of the year. But I never blamed palin - I went overboard blaming nutjobs for the suicide scrawled census worker, and I admit it. I have worked hard NOT to jump to conclusions since then, and I think most getbiggers see that. I used to jump to conclusions all the damn time
Not anymore.
