Sarah Palin Comes Out Firing At Tucson Shooting Critics, Calls Media 'Reprehensible'

Sarah Palin: “America’s Enduring Strength” from Sarah Palin on Vimeo.

After attacks over her map placing shooting victim Gabrielle Giffords in crosshairs, Sarah is slamming her critics and the media in an eight minute video!

For those who thought Sarah Palin might issue some sort of apology for her “Target list” map that placed a number of prominent congressional candidates, among them recent shooting victim Gabrielle Giffords, in crosshairs — think again! The former vice presidential candidate and reality star has just released an eight minute video attacking her critics, saying: “There are those who claim political rhetoric is to blame for the despicable act of this deranged, apparently apolitical criminal. And they claim political debate has somehow gotten more heated just recently. But when was it less heated? Back in those “calm days” when political figures literally settled their differences with dueling pistols?”

As for the media who she, surprise surprise, is blaming for the negative coverage, Sarah says: “Journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible.”

What do you think about Sarah’s response HollywoodLifers? Is she right in her opinion or should she have apologized? Watch above and let us know.

She will never take responsibility for everything. She is ALWAYS the victim of the media. The same media she makes her living from. All she has to do is apologize for putting the cross hairs on the Rep’s district. That’s all people are saying. She set up a certain climate which allows crazy people to thrive in.

SARAH PALIN IS REPREHENSIBLE!!!! SHE IS STUPID AND DANGEROUS! AND ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT SHE HAS THE QUALIFICATIONS TO GOVERN ANYTHING – IS STUPID ALSO!

The Republicans should be asking the question how could they attract such a sick person to be their party? In her defense she used the word Blood libel, anyone familiar with that phrase? This word is used with milions of people being falsely accused, persecuted and put to death, how could SP used these words to describe what has happened to her. In her eight minute video she had the back drop of the American flag as if she is a national leader like the president, note she had days to come out she chose the same day the president is speaking in Arizona. Alfre Hitchcock Psycho is the word!

totally agree with Sarah.
