Notes from video maker....

"When Jared Lee Loughner allegedly shot over a dozen people this month and allegedly killed six in Tucson, Arizona, Loughner's possible insanity raised difficult questions of blame for politicians, some of whom, like President Barack Obama, rose to the occasion, while others, like resigned Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, only dug themselves deeper, as I show in this video.

The publc domain clip I use of in President Barack Obama's great speech at the January 12, 2011, Arizona memorial comes from the video on YouTube at

The fair use clips I use of Dr. E. Fuller Torrey come from a segment of the January 16, 2011, broadcast of CNN's "State of the Union with candy Crowley" available online at http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/vid...

Several fair use clips I use of Sarah Palin come from her January 12, 2011 video titled "Sarah Palin: 'America's Enduring Strength'" uploaded to YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPq8bF...

The final clip of Sarah Plain I use comes from my own previously monetized video titled "Sarah Palin Says Only Americans Worthy of Rights?" available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3fm_I...

The image I use of the text of the federal insanity defense, 18 U.S.C. §17, comes from the Findlaw page at http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18...

The image I use of Jared Lee Loughner comes from his mugshot available online at http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/j...

I also use an image of Sarah Palin's infamous "crosshairs map" that comes from her Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin

I use another image of Sarah Palin's "Don't Retreat, ...Reload" tweet that comes from her Twitter page at http://twitter.com/sarahpalinusa

Finally, I use an image of my July 2009 YouTube video titled "Is Sarah Palin a Narcissist?" that comes from the YouTube video player page at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWoKyy"

1. Those in the Christian Identity movement see themselves as victims, and Sarah plays to that

identity directly and consciously. They see themselves as the chosen people, the real "jews" mentioned in the bible. It is no surprise then that she would mention "blood libel", reclaiming victimhood even from the Jews. Reclaiming and rewriting history as thier own as "God promised".

She can also be seen to be engaging in stochastic terrorism, particularly as she points toward Obama as a terrorist's "pal", and says that the government wants to kill your grandmother and people like her son, who has Down syndrome.

2. Yes, I see all of those as the devious tactics she and others like Beck use

to reinforce their own deep Christian identities, thoughtlessness of consequences, (as in proclaiming someone "guilty" or "pals with terrorists", "RELOAD", etc)

Palin and her followers are too numerous, and such devious ba**a*ds in how they do it.

4. I'm not so sure that it is "thoughtless"

Her two responses to tuscon shooting were carefully scripted and rehearsed. The baseless demonising of Obama is a full-time job, thought must go into creating that, and I think when they use violent rhetoric, they know what's up.

remember, it's is the violent "end times" that are upon us , "good and evil" that they are "fighting".

5. I think Jesus Christ would disown these jerks.

The people that claim to be so christian are nothing more than stupid ignorant bullies and mean spirited people.

6. The answer to both questions...

at the end of the video is an unequivocal YES.

7. Very good video....more about the self serving....

...opportunist fake "values" crap Sarah Palin spews forth and her admirers feed off.


Also about the American value, that Palin obviously lacks, that one is innocent until proven guilty in this county she loves so much. (Even her!)

A very sober and inquisitive video.

And don't forget, the Dr. interviewed has seen hundreds of cases similar to Loughner's. Great! Wouldn't want Palin, Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Reilly and their ilk to lose an audience. Who knows how may more cases like Loughner are listening to them?

8. I agree 100% nt
