What apology?

"And I said, well, you can’t punish your friends when – the folks who’ve been supporting it. Now, I did also say if you’re going to punish somebody, punish your enemies, and I probably should have used the word ‘opponents’ instead of ‘enemies.’

[Mr. Perfect]

I would say that is politician for "I'm not sorry".

amos, or anybody else.

Sarah Palin had NOTHING to do with this. NOTHING. There was never any reason to bring her into any of this. No reason at all. She doesn't have to say anything. She shouldn't say anything, beyond the platitudes of any other politician at a time like this. It's a real shame you would even think to bring her into this. It would be like blaming the murder of John Lennon on Jimmy Carter, who just happened to be a prominent politician at the time.

In the meantime, on the below and other hate speech directed at Sarah Palin from the very hour she was announced on the public stage, you were as silent as a mouse peeing on cotton:

What in the world does David Frum have to do with anything?

[amos]

[Mr. Perfect]

I don't do cut and paste debate. If you have a point, make it, don't hide behind someone of no possible relevance.

[amos]

[Mr. Perfect]

I guess you don't have a point to make then.

[amos]

[Mr. Perfect]

I responded to your points. Sarah Palin has nothing to do with any of this. Nothing is demanded of her. To infer anything else is pure slime. I pointed this out, and you went out and hid behind David Frum.

CBS poll: Democrats are crazy:

Nearly six in 10 Americans say the country's heated political rhetoric is not to blame for the Tucson shooting rampage that left six dead and critically wounded U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, according to a CBS News poll.

recently in australia a boatload of refugees got caught against a cliff in a storm, smashing the boat to splinters and killing many of the people on board, mothers and babies included.

australian politics responded like american politics - revoltingly.

in this case it was the right wing, who jumped in within seconds to accuse the current lefty prime minister of "blood on her hands" - because she didnt approve of the law which automatically put all these people in gaol for years.

i couldnt find a decent word to say about our lefty prime minister, every opinion i have of her belongs in HELL, but this approach to politics is just repulsive to me.

[Mr. Perfect]

Remember the movie Shooter with Marky Mark?

Do you know how it ended?

With the good guy executing a Republican Senator by point blank shot to the face.

[Mr. Perfect]

Here is an oldie but a goodie. The Spengler forum leftists lining up to explain the desire to blow the head off your opponent is perfectly normal.

A choice quote from Tinker. There are others in there too.

"If Mr. Perfect has never wanted to kill his political opponents then he is a rare sort, and lucky. The normal method for political change is through the death of true believers."

I'd forgotten about the Mormon accusation as well! Good times.

How do we avoid being played, given the aftermath scripts are so well-worn? You'd think there'd be some sort of gradual herd immunity to this sort of thing.
