Same Message From Palin and Obama. Which Will Be Remembered? (That is the question.)

By most PUMA accounts that I have read so far, President Obama delivered a decent speech last evening. Though many feel that using a memorial service to launch a campaign slogan was tacky.

My take:

I think it is fair to assert that Mr. Obama's speech may not be what we remember about this fateful week. Except, perhaps, to bemoan the poor taste of printing t-shirts for a memorial service.

It could well be Sarah's one-liner "Blood Libel" that sticks in our minds. (Given, it will mainly be remembered because the Left is making such a huge deal out of it. And the middle of our beloved country is waking up saying "well, yeah... that's what this smear campaign was.")

I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised to hear the same essential message coming from Obama and Palin. "Together We Thrive" is not all that different from "Cut the blood libel." It's just that one will be remembered. And one, despite being emblazoned on a gazillion t-shirts, may not be.

I hope this is my final statement on this subject.

H/T to Uppity Woman for the photo. And to Tennessee Guerilla Women for the "blood libel" links.

ADDENDUMS:

And, now, as myiq asserts ... I will be condemned for trying to observe both sides without a jaded ear.

And as Anna Belle laments, being objective will get us both labelled "Right Wing" by our former allies.

MSM Boiz Try To Take Down Two Women Pols With One Bullet

Cuz you know Sarah Palin is waaaayyyyy scarier than Jared Loughner. (H/T Murphy at "PUMA PAC.")

I am not going to spend a lot of time belaboring the point. But Loughner is not the only one out there who's mantra is "die bitch."

The politicization of the Giffords assassination attempt, by the boiz in the MSM is beyond the pale. (H/T myiq2xu at "The Confluence.")

No Feminist, be they Left or Right in their leanings, should be fooled by this anti-woman feeding frenzy.

A few other comments I found meaningful and eye-opening were made by:

Dr. Socks at "The Reclusive Leftist."

Rev. Amy at "Rabble Rouser Ruminations."

Uppity Woman at her self titled blog.

Amy Siskind at "The New Agenda."

and

Anna Belle Pfau at "Peacocks and Lilies" who was first out of the gate with her cogent statement.

Honestly, I would not be able to keep read political commentary at all, were it not for my PUMA friends in the blogosphere.

SYD is going back into lurk mode for a while. Just felt I needed to comment on this tragedy.


Peace. And thanks to all of you for keeping me sane.

Addendum:

Equally sensible and cogent post from a non-PUMA. (H/T Prof. Jacobson at Legal Insurrection.) Yes, Mrs. Palin is owed an apology.

And also linked at Prof. Jacobson's blog, this youtube montage of various Tweets calling for the murder of one woman pol, in the wake of the attempted assassination of another:



Oh. My. God.
