A similar thread seems apparent within the comments left on Palin’s alleged “cross-hairs” article. Most irritating, because little was made of the Media’s deft response to this incident.

As we approach a pure democracy, I suppose we should not be perplexed when everyone with a broadband connection decides to enter the dialogue.

I had a conversation with my wife last night before we went to bed and she indicated that a woman in the crowd was able to grab one of the shooter’s (bullet) magazines and effectively make it possible for others to overwhelm the shooter (based on News Reports and I do not have the references, will try and find them). If this is true, it begs the question where were the men? I’m sure there were men involved in coraling the shooter but, it was a lone woman who took the biggest initial risk.

I may try to do a little research into the number of senators and congressman that have been shot over the years. I’m willing to bet that the number is quite small. Is the probablility of a congressman getting shot higher or lower than the constituents they represent?

However, based on what I understand the father to be saying about his little girl, he’s at least TRYING to do something good. They seemed to have raised her well… with civic awareness and goals for her life that included an understanding of what it means to be a citizen of the republic. He seems to be trying to NOT let the MSM exploit her death by himself taking control of the conversation about her. It’s too bad that he has to do this… but I think his motives are born out of a desire to protect his daughter’s legacy. He should be applauded for being a good father even while under such duress.

Just surrender meekly, oh wards of the American empire. All seems to be lost…
