Yes, I remembered Congresswoman Gifford's being on that list and immediately
went to find it on the Palin site. It was, as you mention, taken down.
Absolutely shameful move on Palin's part, but just another indicator of the
utter irresponsibility on the part so many of those with a microphone on the
far right. People like Palin, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck spend way too much
of their time knowingly playing on their listeners fears and insecurities,
urging them on to "take the country back" by whatever means. Michelle Bachman
saying she wants her constituents "armed and dangerous" in fighting the Obama
tax plan.
I make it a point to listen to Limbaugh for 10 minutes every week day. I do it
to get an idea of what the right wing talking points of the day will be. It's
shocking to hear him blatantly use the race card, the religious card ("he's
different from you and me folks") in a way that absolutely suggests that the
ends justify any action.
A very sad and shameful state of affairs.
