I was watching MSNBC this morning and Tom Brokaw was praising the Pima County Sheriff for speaking out against inflammatory political rhetoric. This the same man who has made several TV appearances arguing that the Tucson massacre was linked to conservative political rhetoric. He even went so far as to call out Sarah Palin and Sharron Angle. Last night I watched Geraldo Rivera interview the Sheriff, and Geraldo ended the interview by asking him, "Are you sure you don't want to take anything that you just said back?". The Sheriff declined.
So why is Mr. Brokaw praising this guy? How did Mr. Brokaw not notice the fact that the Pima County Sheriff was accusing his political opponents of accessory to mass murder?
As for Palin, I find it infuriating that she is being linked to this. But I guess if you are going to be dumb enough to use "crosshairs" on a map targeting specific Congressman, and something like this happens, then there are going to be consequences.
And she definitely should not have said that thing a couple of months ago about "punishing our enemies".
Correction: It was the President who talked about "punishing our enemies".
