New poll shows Americans still not buying media spin on Tucson shootings

There is an element of severe psychosis that affects politicos on the right and left. Examples we see of this is Birtherism, Trutherism, and the smears. This why, I believe, many people that I know avoid politics. It bears a heavy burden on the mind and can cause breakdowns.

The politicians caught between the two poles can do no right and at the same time can can do no wrong. It is very confusing.

The vicious attacks on Palin and her family and Obama and his family should be looked as a parallel events. I think the concern about the politics are at the surface but underneath, and yes I’m going to go there, are issues of race, gender, and class.

Palin is being attacked so viciously from the left because she is a woman. See when the left sees a man talking about abortion, he is a norm to their mantra of the evils of men, who can never birth children, imposing their will on their victims aka women. When you have a female coming out to be pro-life and flaunting that choice in front of them it drives them insane because it goes against the nature of the way their brain is wired. Gun ownership is seen as violence, men are violent, women are victims and weak. So once again, a woman that owns and shoots guns, hunts animals, and seems to be able to hold their own is to tasking to comprehend for the far left brain so they lash out. And to the liberal elite she is seen a dumb redneck white woman because of her background. This is what they tell their minority mental slaves. These minorities equate redneck with racist so now to them she is a white racist redneck dumb woman.

She is attacked from the right because she is a woman that has reached a level men covet. It is jealousy. Pure chauvinistic jealousy.

I will say, she has made a lot of mistakes, she has toed this line of celebrity reality show fodder to political attack dog. And I don’t particularly like her brand of politics or her style of politics but then way she’s been attacked has been borderline insane.

And as a warning to her, she has been placed on the same pedestal on high as Obama has. Her supporters lover her, fawn over her, foam at the mouth when it comes to anyone speaking against her. But if she makes the wrong move or not the move they want they will turn on her like rabid dogs.

Obama is a different story, he is half black, from a screwed up family situation, he father is from Africa, he lived in Indonesia. All things that make people wary of him being leader of this country. He is too foreign, abnormal to what we know, and also invokes deep rooted feelings about black people. When you have someone you deem, maybe subconsciously, inferior that is now leader of the free world the far right brain can’t handle that. It goes nuts. So what do you do, you go beyond his politics. You make him the Antichrist, a foreigner conspiring against the American people, he wants your children, he wants to murder babies, he wants American to burn to the ground, he wants revenge against white people, white colonist, he wants to gather he legions of welfare recipients (other black people) and come and get you and take everything you own. Get your guns, get your bunkers stocked water and canned foods, a civil war is coming. Never in a campaign have you had people make references to watermelons on the White House lawn, go to campaign rally’s where people are handing out money with a picture of him with gold teeth and buckets of fried chicken, or portraits of him as a pimp and Michelle as a prostitute, or hand out t-shirts of him as a monkey (and don’t act cute and claim you don’t get the reference). Michelle is called a mooch not because she wears designer clothes or has nice things. Most First Lady’s have, but because they don’t feel she deserves these things, how dare she even have them. She is derided for having a big behind. Most of us black women do, even the healthy ones. She is called a whore, a skank, a cow, a dog, and other nastiness for which I can’t see what she has done to warrant it.

For the far left he represents something different. He is a chance for them to exercise their progressiveness and gives them relief for their white guilt. But if you haven’t noticed, as soon as he steps off the plantation they are gnashing teeth and ready to tear him to pieces. He is their boy and he will do as they say or else! *Cracks the whip* . Black liberals see him as the Black President of the Black United States of Black America. They can’t get over themselves enough to know he is the leader of the free world and not owned by them. So when they can’t have all his attention or do as they say they swipe away his blackness. When he does as they demand he is the blackest man alive when he doesn’t, not so much.

Someone on here were deriding Obama for not coming out ahead of the game in the attacks against Palin in response to the rampage in Tucson. However that SAME person said he was evil for speaking out against the awful attacks on Bristol Palin and telling people. They said he was at fault for even addressing it, because that required him to bring it up.

Most of us aren’t politically bipolar and further more can’t live in a perpetual state of anger or ready to be angry. We just react on what makes sense. Sometimes what makes sense turns out to be wrong, sometimes it’s right. It makes sense that the Tucson shooter was a wacko that had no particular political affiliation.

This is why you see the polls shifting as they do or polls like this. But even polls can fall victim above derangement. When they go your way you believe them and polls are great wisdom, when they don’t the polls are useless garbage.
