Palin: Blood Is on Media’s ‘Complicit Hands’ for Not Telling Truth About Black Lives Matter

-snip-

Well, Sarah Palin is also weighing in, and after Dallas she’s just as outraged, declaring that “Black Lives Matter is a farce.”

“Shame on our culture’s influencers,” she wrote on Facebook, “who would stir contention and division that could lead to evil such as that in Dallas. Shame on politicians and pundits giving credence to thugs rioting against police officers and the rule of law in the name of ‘peaceful protests.'”

And then she accused the mainstream media of having blood on its hands:

Media: quit claiming the rioters are “peaceful” as they stomp on our flag, shout “death to cops!” and celebrate violence. It is sick. You perpetuate a perverted message evil men thrive on to intimidate and warp malleable minds that would believe one race matters more than another. Blood is on your complicit hands when you naively or purposefully refuse to tell of this movement’s truth.

in Dallas were caused by the police who summarily executed Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, or worse, by the victims themselves.

Palin is not known for getting a handle on the big picture. Whatever gets her 3 minutes in the media means her efforts worked.

and get shot to death. Republicans like to talk about things they would never do, until it happens to them. Just like bill brady, Reagan's press secretary who was against gun control until he was shot.

Well said, dubyadiprecession. Republican hypocrisy needs to be brought up every time they make comments like Governor Palin's.

Small point, it was Jim Brady who was the Press Secretary when he got and President Reagan got shot.

people like her see when they look in the mirror. She apparently thinks she is some sort of positive role model in this country. Dolly Fucking Madison and Oprah Winfrey all rolled up into one.

It's filled with tension and character developments and, even though we know the ending, a great crescendo leading to the climax of Election Night in 2008.

The scenes where Governor Palin tries to make a concession speech illustrate how devious and egocentric she is.

Pushing this into the emotional realm of a spiritual clash between "evil" and police doing "sacred" good work really makes achieving understanding and justice in secular social reality much more difficult.

It took her a while but I knew she had to come up with
something with all those mics and cameras available.

It was the MSM that made her America's darling and now
she thinks they have turned their back on her. I love it.
