She didn't address the issue at all! I think for it to be an 'excellent response' it would have to at least do that.

Where does she stand on this issue of politicians and talking heads using violent words and imagry to express their views?

From her (lack of) repsonse I can only conclude that she is still in favor of the use of violent words and images and will take no steps to express her political views in non-violent language in the future.

That's very irresponsible for a 'leader' who is supposed to care about the wellfare of our citizens and our country. Not a fan.

Everyone should continue to exercise their freedom of speech. Everyone should express their political views. But everyone should be careful of the words and imagry used.

Violent words and images are dangerous no matter which side of the aisle it comes from. It puts us ALL at risk from mentally ill people.

Too bad Sarah Palin couldn't bring herself to be a leader and SAY THAT.

She doesn't address the charges that her rhetoric is full of violent imagery and words that might encourage nut cases to go off and whether or not she will continue to express her political views (as she should) using those particular kinds of words and images (as she should not).

A South Carolina gun and accessories company is selling semi-automatic rifle components inscribed with “You lie” – a tribute to the infamous words of 2nd District Republican Congressman Joe Wilson when he shouted at President Barack Obama during a congressional speech about national health care reform in the fall of 2009.
“Palmetto State Armory would like to honor our esteemed congressman Joe Wilson with the release of our new ‘You Lie’ AR-15 lower receiver,” reads a portion of the company’s website.
The product “is neither endorsed nor affiliated with Joe Wilson or his campaign,” according to a line of text at the bottom of the page. A picture of Wilson holding a rifle and standing in the company's gun shop appears on the same page. The company offers the components, marked “MULTI to accommodate most builds,” for $99.95 apiece.
“Only 999 of these will be produced, get yours before they are gone!” the website reads.

Awesome.

sooner7nc said: I think it would be beneficial to everyone if all the Keith Olbermanns, Glenn Becks, Rachel Maddows, and Michael Savages of this country were loaded on a plane with Michael Moore and taken to a remote deserted island and left there to fight, screw, or whatever came to mind.

Agreeance.

I don't want to stop free discussion.

Personally, what I want is for the media and politicians and political groups to tone down the rhetoric. Say what you want. Just be responsible about how you say it. I'm not in favor of laws about this or anything. I'm in favor of people voluntarily, for the good of the country, stopping with the violent rhetoric.

Using a symbol for targeting to represent the areas we need to target for a change in leadership does not by any stretch of a sane person's imagination translate into killing someone.

Quite right. It's the insane people who take these suggestions and act on them.

There are a lot of insane people out there.

We need to take that into account.

That kind of violent talk is wrong if it comes from the right or from the left.

No matter where it comes from, it is wrong.

The fact is that the overwhelming majority of the 'gun', 'fight', 're-load', 'revolution', 'battle', 'blood', 'target' type of rhetoric is coming from the right right now.

This democratic congress woman has had threats, a gun brought to her town hall, her office shot at, and now she's been shot. It is not a surprise.

Who knows how many more crack pots are out there, with their guns loaded, ready to try to stop the government that they have been told has been taken over by evil. These mentally ill people are just doing what they are being suggested to do 24 hours a day on the tv and radio.

It needs to stop.

Words matter.
