Sarah Palin Sticks to Her Guns, and Gun Imagery, in Message to Supporters
Edited on Mon Mar-29-10 04:12 PM by spanone
she's extremely dangerous.....

In a message posted on her Facebook page Sunday afternoon, Sarah Palin reiterated her call for supporters to "reload" in the battle against health care reform, a term that provoked controversy last week after critics accused her of inciting violence against members of Congress. Presenting her message as an exhortation to college basketball teams competing in March Madness, Palin stood her ground in using firearm imagery against the administration.

"The crossfire is intense, so penetrate through enemy territory by bombing through the press, and use your strong weapons -- your Big Guns -- to drive to the hole. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember it takes blood, sweat and tears to win," Palin wrote. In the headline of her update, she mockingly predicted that the message would be "subject to new politically correct language police censorship."

Palin's message did not overtly mention President Obama or health care reform, but its wink-wink tone, italicized passages about weapons, and quotes referencing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made it clear Palin was attempting to satirize accusations that she has been inciting Tea Party protesters to violence.

5. Agreed. She is dangerous.
She needs to be removed from public airways.
She is clearly advocating violence.

Maybe we need a public action? Unify and start a campaign
of letters, emails and phone calls to the networks who
are complicit in allowing her hate speech on the air?

I can't believe her latest has not been removed from the internet.
It should be illegal to spread that sort of language.

15. try reading case law before you opine
mere advocacy of violence IS LEGAL, assuming arguendo that she is advocating

the SCOTUS ruled thusly in brandenburg which is the controlling case

i say, and only half jokingly, why do you hate the 1st amendment?

21. and you predictably lie
please cite where i approve of what she is doing here ---->

i have made two things clear

1) she is within her legal rights to do so despite what some 1st amendment ignoramuses think
2) she is (to go along with the current theme) "firing for effect" and people like you are falling RIGHT INTO HER TRAP

to quote from verbal judo "when arrow of insult is aimed at head, move head"

you, otoh let her control your emotions

call to violence.

8. Dog whistle anyone?
Make no mistake it's a call to arms. She's playing the CYA game by putting out there that the media will distort her message somehow. If something happens she'll be able to say, I explained what I meant.

This is a game for this people, they whip folks into a foaming frenzy and when something happens they act surprised. Free speech can have dire consequences. No matter how hard she or anyone else tries to explain a horrible deed away, they'll be left with blood on their hands.

Tiller the baby killer ring a bell.

12. I sent an alert to Facebook. Do the same.
I read their terms of use- she is in violation.
Of course she is trying to explain that she is using
a "metaphor."
If you or I posted something akin, the FBI would be at our doors.
She is advocating domestic terrorism, make no mistake and the posting should be removed, IMHO.

10. More from that article-
"Despite their leaders denouncing the bellicose tactics, some Republican lawmakers have made spirited defenses of them. Rep. Randy Neugebauer of Texas yelled "baby killer" at Bart Stupak on the House floor. Rep. Devin Nunes of California said Tea Partiers had "every right" to use racist and homophobic slurs against Democrats, chalking it all up to Democrats' "totalitarian tactics." Rep. Michele Bachmann said she wants her constituents "armed and dangerous" against the Obama administration.

On Sunday, Palin made it clear she wanted the self-described right-wing extremists to keep it up. "Get in their face and argue with them," she wrote. "No matter how tough it gets, never retreat, instead RELOAD!""

I just sent an alert to Facebook that the Palin post was a violation of there Terms of Use
under "hate speech" et al...
I encourage others to do the same.

11. Using this language regarding March Madness
is her lame attempt to defuse the deplorable use of the same language regarding Democrats.

Another FAIL for Sarah. Nice try though.
