Seems many want to point to Sarah Palin after the senseless shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords this past Saturday. Come on people! I dislike Palin as much as the next guy, but it's obvious the shooter had issues. It has nothing to do with Palin, it has nothing to do with the Republican party, it has nothing to do with politics. I was reading an article by Mara Gay on Aol News, in which Gay stated that "Sarah Palin is fighting back against speculation in some quarters that her often-fiery partisan rhetoric may have contributed to a climate that encourages political violence."
Yeah, so sometimes Palin doesn't use the her best judgement when making statements, but society cannot place blame on her. Many of my friend can tell you, I'm very anti-Palin. I've always said, she's not a real politician, she's a cheerleader for politics. It's just sad to see this woman take the heat from so many sides.
In fact, in the article it states that Glenn Beck, of FOX News, reached out to Palin telling her that she has his support and to seek protection for her and her family. I don't think it's quite gotten to the point of lynch mobs showing up at her estate, but you never know these days.
Every news channel has been covering the Arizona shooting all weekend. It's been reported over and over again that 22-year-old triggerman, Jared Loughner, had problems. I just hope others can see that his mental instability has nothing to do with Palin, and that we should stop putting blame on political parties, and see this for what it really is: just another senseless tragedy in the annals of American politics.
