[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] President Obama today took a higher moral stand on the issue: [QUOTE]"Scripture tells us that there is evil in the world, and that terrible things happen for reasons that defy human understanding. In the words of Job, "When I looked for light, then came darkness." Bad things happen, and we have to guard against simple explanations in the aftermath." Jared Loughner, 22 is charged with multiple counts of murder and investigators are trying to determine the motivation for the shootings. Obama said we may never know. "For the truth is none of us can know exactly what triggered this vicious attack. None of us can know with any certainty what might have stopped these shots from being fired, or what thoughts lurked in the inner recesses of a violent man's mind. Yes, we have to examine all the facts behind this tragedy. We cannot and will not be passive in the face of such violence. We should be willing to challenge old assumptions in order to lessen the prospects of such violence in the future. But what we cannot do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on each other. That we cannot do," Obama said to a standing ovation. [/QUOTE]Meanwhile, Sarah Palin issued a teleprompted speach which all but decalred [i]herself[/i] the victim- calling it a "Blood Libel" against her. Fuck, could she be more offensive? Look up "Blood Libel" and you'll see that it has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with persecution of jews- making her comments doubly offensive as congresswoman Giffirds is jewish. Whoever wrote that for her needs to get canned- whatever the intent was, it failed badly. Majority Leader Boenner issued a nice speach- I can forgive his weepyness on this one...and as a show of solidarity, both republicans and democrats accompanied the President to visit with GIffords and the other wounded, then with families of the dead. Leonard Pitts had a great op ed piece today, talking about how the nine year old girl that was shot on saturday was born on 9/11- a day where partisan differences were put aside for the good of the nation, and how far rom that spirit we are today.
