Sarah Palin takes no responsibility for the Tucson shootings? Really?

We wait with bated breath.

(Hmmm, I’m busy, gotta go, be back soon. Sounds vaguely familiar…)

Oh no. Not another one of these multiple goodbye types. “I’ve got to run next door to borrow some sugar. I’ll be back!”

This is a discussion thread on internet message board. Nobody cares where you’re going or what you have to do. We’re not all actually sitting around in a room waiting to hear from you.

Is this something with rabid conservatives and the internet? Is it just the SDMB? Or is just Starving and NoGlow?

ETA: Dammit, elucidator beat me to it.

There’s a word for those who like to control people via Internet messages.

The usual word is several letters shorter than “psychopath.” I saw the blog post when MoGlow joined. It does lend some insight into the way he keeps bringing up other peoples’ mothers for no reason. Maybe this is a lesson intended to teach us that the Hannibal Lecter stereotype of crazy people as master manipulators is crap. For example, maybe some of them try to manipulate people, but fail because they’re smug and unfamiliar with basic logic.

I like Kieth Olbermann’s Tweet about Sarah Palin on this subject:

(Can we quote whole Tweets on the SDMB or are they protected by copyright? Kind of difficult to quote a portion of a medium that only allows 140 characters and have it make any sense. Just in case I posted the link.)

(in other words, when his Mom says he can get back on the computer because his math homework is done)

ETA: Crikey this is fun!

Also: Please add “your” to the words the troll cannot spell. As in “Your wrong.”

You do know that’s one of the more common manifestations of schizophreen?

Obnoxiousness? See my more recent post about MoGlow’s mental health.

Molly Ivins is dead and her corpse is still smarter than you appear to be from a casual perusal of this thread. Crikey, was that my outer voice?

ROFL

Maybe it was being used correctly…

  1. Your wrong.

  2. Yes indeed, it was my bad. Thank your for letting me know.

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

As far as I know, the whole root of the matter is, one side can use all sorts of “death and killing imagery” but the other side can not. One side can plaster it on anything they please, and the other side has to carefully choose.

I still call it hypocritical bullshit.

Gotta run, it’s ass scratching time (or something). :rolleyes:

Wow. Even most Democrats says that the rhetoric and the shootings are unrelated. Independents break 56% to 33% for ‘unrelated.’

I was afraid for a bit that this trial balloon might catch on, but now I think it will be discarded.

Me, too. It shows Palin’s idiocy quite succinctly.

Jon Stewart delivered a pretty compelling speech on Monday’s Daily Show urging people not to force a link between the shooter and current political rhetoric, no matter how toxic the latter might be getting.

I’m not saying he’s the influence behind those numbers, but I certainly feel contrite about my ranting in these threads.

I wager 15 quatloos that the newcomer is untrainable.

(A disembodied brain has technical issues when it comes to differentiating between “outer” and “inner” voices.)

HaaahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Her video is entertaining, to say the least. So by “take up arms”, she obviously meant “vote”. Of course, it’s a common synonym. I know that I’ve often said to my wife, ‘Hey, it’s November 2nd; we need to take up arms today’.

I wonder what the response would be if I went on a public forum and said something like: In this presidential election, I’m going to take up arms, put (name) in the crosshairs, and pull the trigger. I would suspect that I would get some very unwelcome attention in a big hurry. Yet a politician (or a nutcase like Palin or Bachmann) says these sorts of things and nobody blinks.

“Blood libel”: gee, what a catchy phrase. A bit antisemitic, but I’m sure she meant “fuzzy kitten” instead.

Pardon my potential tone-deafness, but is this a serious statement or sarcasm?

Serious. I can see how it could be construed otherwise.

Maybe it’s her way of finally admitting that she’s converted to Islam :dubious:
