>I think you know I am no fan of hers, and don't defend what she said, but am not sure that going to visit Rep. Giffords would accomplish much. Besides, a lot of people would just say she was grandstanding in a tragedy, a.k.a. Jesse Jackson Disease.

An interesting observation on her statement.


The Incoherence Of Palin
from http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2011/01/the-incoherence-of-palin.html:

1. "Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own. They begin and end with the criminals who commit them."

2. "Especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn."

In the first statement, she is saying that you can't incite people to violence, they stand on their own. The second statement, however, makes the opposite claim (that you can incite people to violence).

And...

If crimes "begin and end with the criminals who commit them," I think Sarah Palin just endorsed a mosque near Ground Zero.
