NOTEWORTHY POINT UPFRONT
Gabrielle Giffords was born in Tucson, Arizona, to Gloria Kay Fraser and Spencer J. Giffords. Her father is a first cousin of director Bruce Paltrow, whose daughter is actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Giffords was raised in a mixed religious environment by her Jewish father and Christian Science-practicing mother. She has identified herself solely with Judaism since 2001, belonging to Congregation Chaverim, a Reform synagogue, in Tucson. She is Arizona's first Jewish Congresswoman.
PALINS RESPONSE TO THE SHOOTING AND BLOOD LIBEL
Naturally it is on Facebook since thats the place her followers mingle to hear the worthy trash she puts out all about, you guessed it "Sarah Palin". Nothing else exists in her world except her. We have finally tagged her as the "Goebbels of Gossip".
In the eight minutes of drivel in a picturesque setting looking to upstage the President, the wounded, the deceased, and anyone else that takes TV time away from her, she
paid homage to the victims of the massacre, and expressed her "sadness" at the "irresponsible statements from people attempting to apportion blame for this terrible event." And immediately went into her self indulgent talking points which is expected because she has nothing noble to talk about.
She goes on to say: "Journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn."
BLOOD LIBEL
Palin's choice of words indicates ( Please choose one or more)
A) She is blatantly an idiot and her press gal is a super frickin idiot.
B) She has no class at all and about as Presidential as Adolf Hitler
C) She's using the teleprompter and doesn't know what she is reading.
D) She is obviously anti-semented. (Thats anti-semetic and demented at the same time)
E) All of the above
FROM WIKIPEDIA
In Jewish lore, blood libels were the impetus for the creation in the 16th century of the Golem of Prague by Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel. Many popes have either directly or indirectly condemned the blood accusation, and no pope has ever sanctioned it. These libels have persisted among some segments of Christians to the present time.
You have to wonder — given the "terrible meaning and repercussions" of the phrase, not to mention the "terrible irony that Rep. Giffords is Jewish" — if Palin was "familiar with its actual definition."
THE PRESIDENT SPOKE TO THE PEOPLE
He spoke from the heart, his heart spoke to the heart of this country, he spoke for the people, he spoke as a father, a husband, a brother and sister and he was our leader telling us the path to take. The resounding words delivered as only OBAMA could do brought acceptance and applause from both sides of the aisle for at least a few hours till the righteous wing talking heads opened their mouths. He brought a hope for a future of civility and discourse our children would be proud of. He gave us a plan for civility in a time of pain and turmoil.
Sarah Palin's eight minute, "I am Sarah Palin" was just like her TV reality series, all about Palin and less about ALASKA. This was about Palin and accusations. But this time she crossed the line. At a time of mourning, pain and hurt she drew or tried to draw attention to herself.
She defended her infamous crosshairs visual. She used words and phrases she probably did not know what she was talking about. Some called it brash, some like Pat Buchannon who is so right-sided his car can't do left turns, praised her for her courage in defending herself. But the majority with the exception of the Tea Pots, praised the President and were embarrassed by her.
Does she relate her drop in popularity with the suffering and death of hundreds of thousands of Jews across centuries in Europe who were falsely accused of ritually murdering Christian children? Well there goes her Jewish vote. Both Jews I know who liked her changed their minds. The other twenty million think she's a movie star who can't act.
In another point she misquoted Ronald Reagan's quote
that lawbreakers are "accountable" for their actions—rejecting "the idea that society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker." Reagan’s point was that the wider society — its climate and its shortcomings — can't excuse a criminal.
This is Sarah Palin's latest attempt at making noise for herself. Remember New Year's Eve when someone gave you one of those paper noisemakers and you blew it in everyones face. Next morning someone woke you by doing it back to you and you wanted to murder them. In the beginning she was surprised and tolerated and then you realize like a noisemaker, her time had come and gone and now she is annoying except to her fans whom I think need a good
Rorschach test which is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation.It is obvious she didn't know what the phrase "Blood libel meant". It's also obvious she did not know that Gabby Gifford's was Jewish. Thats the problem, like the loaded gun she is, the mouth opens and stupid uninformed hatred of everything rhetoric come out. I
t really stands out as the gaff of the century.
This was not her day, this day belonged to the victims, their families, and the country.
When I see Palin I see a strikingly good looking woman in her Bancroft eyeglasses, wonderfully dressed and coutured. Her appeal is threefold, she tells people what they want to hear and only speaks to those people who want to hear it.
In the mainstream press, they would destroy her. She does not have the cohesiveness of thought a talented confident bearer of good will, a leader, needs. And thats because she has done nothing for the country except split it, opened the cracks and let the idiots out.
When she ventures out to mainstream, she falls flat on her face. Thats why she will not take questions from the press and resorts to Facebook and Twitter where she controls the social dialogue, for her following or curiosity seekers.
She is cold, calculating and lacks a good dose of humility. She is a phenomena created by an accident of McCain's team, she has destroyed good politicians, she supports and creates lies and has added to the fuel of the discourse.
She missed an opportunity to reach out to America and showed a lack of love and compassion. She took the low road and she aimed herself into the swamp.

HE LATEST CNN POLL ON SARAH PALIN
1- 56 percent of Americans view her unfavorably
2- Unfavorable rating amongst women voters has gone up 10 points.
3- 59 percent of independent voters don't like her up 14%
The Tucson shooting is part of it. In a moment of time when the nation needed healing, her mouth was all Palin which in turn, out of ignorance or stupidity (the juries still out on this one) exasperated the Jewish Community. The “Blood Libel” affront to Jews. This was a double whammy…
PERSONALLY
I am growing tired of Palin and listening to her constant
negativism, ignorance and lies. I imagine going by the poles, much of America is too. Also, now we know one of the reasons John McCain lost
the election. They looked at
McCain, his thinking out of touch; some felt the election tired him, his age and health questionable; and somewhat irrational decisions. She
was what the party needed to go against the possible Obama-Clinton ticket. But
if anything happened to McCain, she would step in as President and people saw that and it didn't work, she was not a prime time player.
John McCain went down in flames and never really recovered. The
whole bit with the mavericks and independent thinking got swarmed over by the birth
of the Tea Pot Party movement.
Her followers in lesser numbers are still there, even the worst of mankind has followers to this day. In the political arena they all have followers, but the ones who do count in Washington are careful to avoid her or avoid commenting about her. When trapped they tell you how nice she is, behind the doors when the Bourbon comes out at 4:00 PM in the back office, it's another story. The underlying thing about her is fear. They are afraid of her, some see her as a smoker in a dynamite factory. She is now, after the latest remarks characterized as a loose cannon, someone dangerous and that if they comment on her, she will retaliate in the worst way.
There's nothing new about her. If you had no choir, you have no Palin. She only plays to the choir. She will be good for the National Rifle Association, they ate up those fake scenes in My Alaska where she shoots a herded and literally corralled Caribou at 100 yards with a scoped rifle and three coaches, camera men, sound techs and guides.
I was hoping in the bear scenes one would charge after her. That’s what would make a show I would watch. That would be reality in ALASKA, not this staged infomercial about herself.
She is not Presidential, she is not gubernatorial, she quit
as Governor. She is not the hero of the school board, Wasilla HS has its
problems, she was the mayor of a town smaller than my Condo community, she did
not sell the airplane on eBay, and the list goes on. Her books are all ghosted. Much of her touted resume was created
by staff and blown over.
It may turn out to be the longest running reality show on TV. And then finally it will be gone. I’m just wondering, which will survive longer, her on-going mega drama or the “Jersey shore”.
