While the President and responsible Republican leaders are calling for a day of prayer and reflection, Sarah Palin goes on a counter-programming tact and steps in it once again. Fortunately, she's not finding much cover. Her logic is, my words don't have consequence, but the words of my political opponents do.
I don't mind that Sarah Palin is getting her 15 minutes. She's pretty amusing. What bothers me is that seemingly intelligent people fall for her.
So don't worry. Words don't have consequences, except when they do.
From the Washington Post:
Some Arizona Republican party officials resign after Tucson shooting
Miller, the first and only African-American to hold the party's precinct chairmanship, said he had been called "McCain's boy," and that, during a speech, a member of the audience made the symbol of a gun with his hand and pointed it at him. "I wasn't going to resign but decided to quit after what happened Saturday," Miller said. "I love the Republican Party but I don't want to take a bullet for anyone."
