Hahahaha, so you are saying that everybody should read all opinion pieces on every site. Where was the outrage two whole days ago on 1 story out of 500 million on the attacks. Hilarious! I think Palin's video response probably got more hits than that guys WSJ article.

To be honest, there is a large difference between raising taxes 3% or giving people health care and holding US Citizens in Gitmo/Starting Iraq on bad intel. Also turns out, they were right. Both Bush and Paulson said the economy would have collapsed if not for the bailout. "If AIG collapsed, it would have buckled our financial system and wrought economic havoc on the lives of millions of our citizens," - Paulson
Oh, and nobody got shot.
You don't agree that partisanship on one side foments partisanship on the other? Is reality kryptonite to you too? Again, this shooting doesn't seem to be the result of a partisan issue. Rather it's looking like at this point the shooter had a personal issue dating back a few years in which he did not like her response to one of his nonsensical rants about what words mean.

Instapundit isn't running for President (or considering it publicly), and Instapundit isn't nearly under the microscope for their rhetoric that she is. Like it or not, Palin's near the center of this thing. It may or may not be fair, but how she reacts to this is important, much more so than whatever Instapundit says on a given day.

Fact is that the CjC and the tiny junk folks didn't get their collective panties wadded up... Are 13 years old? Why do you lower yourself to childish insults of people who disagree with you? Circle Jerk Club? Tiny Junk folks? Really?

Don't worry Mike; he's the king of the ad-hominem. It's just less than I expected from an attorney. But not less than I expect from him. He makes my elementary and high school age nieces and nephews seem like adults.

I believe it, yes. I guess the first time I was exposed to pure partisanship was Clinton's impeachment. I guess it kind of snow balled from that.

Here's an insight. Go back to the start of this thread and see which posters resorted to pubescent humor and name calling. And which posters refused to be baited into that negative spiral relying instead on reasonable discussion. Apparently the farther right you are identified on this forum, the more likely you are to be in the previous. As for Palin, I think Wevus has nailed it. Its her response that counts. Most folks know that people like Palin, Guido and BB expose themselves if given enough time. Just be patient and keep it all in context. THis should keep "mr. context" busy for a few hours dragging out old posts and using them in novel new ways. I've done my job, thank me later.

I have seen analysis that indicates that sort of behavior is usually about attempting to establish perceived dominance over others. For some people (and I'm not speaking specifically of guido) the facts aren't as relevant as who plays the dominant role in the discourse. O'Reilly being a great example of that, if you've ever seen his show. It's amazing what academics will spend their time studying.

Bad mental image there. Actually, the image of Palin exposing herself is not all that bad to me. Oh, such sweet confusion in my mind.
