'Death Panel' Palin wants 'civility'
Posted by John Grooms on Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 12:48 PM
That statement, based on, well, nothing contained in any bill before Congress, created yet another shitstorm for Palin, even from several prominent conservatives (although, Newt Gingrich defended her).
Wasilla’s wonder woman has now released another message: “We must stick to a discussion of the issues and not get sidetracked by tactics ... leading to intimidation or harassment. Such tactics diminish our nation's civil discourse ... Let's not give the proponents of nationalized health care any reason to criticize us.” Reasons like, umm, say, spreading outrageous, ignorant lies about a critical national issue?
Kind of makes you wonder whether whether the articulate person she hired to write the new message had read the Facebook entry. Or whether she just now realized she doesn’t have a personal security detail anymore. Personally, it makes me wonder whether American politics has entered a new, surreal, Alice in Wonderland phase, in which an ill-educated, inarticulate show-horse like Palin can sound like a crazy person ranting before a city council meeting and still be considered Presidential material by a major political party.
