Fox News contributor Mara Liasson said Sunday that while defending use of gun imagery, Fox News employee Sarah Palin actually admitted that political discourse can cause violence.
Palin defended herself by saying, "Especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible."
...
"Here she is saying, when you talk about blood libel, that is the definition political discourse, a manufactured lie causing violence," noted Liasson. "In this case she paints herself as the potential victim."
"Here she is agreeing with the left that political discourse can cause violence."
Fox News pundit Brit Hume attempted to disagree but Liasson stood her ground.
Amazing.
Palin herself is not mentally equipped (I could stop there...) to see the terrible irony that political discourse causing violence is only a bad thing when the left does it to her. I hope nothing happens to her, of course, but if it does I can only hope that's it from some mad lone gunman that thinks she isn't right wing enough.
