‎"So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.”

Woops, that was the liberal Molly Ivins (whom I loved too).

Oh for crying out loud.

The metaphors of politics are, indeed, war and sports related.

But equating "kicking ass" with "second amendment remedies" and "if ballots don't work bullets will"?

Come ON.

It's not that the left doesn't use violence. But pretending that these are the same is BS and it weakens your argument.

"Second amendment remedies" was attributed to Angle, not Palin.

"if ballots don't work bullets will" wasn't Palin either, sfaik.

I'd like to see some of the things that people are objecting to that Palin really said.
