Oh, sure. NOW she wants to tone down the rhetoric.
Caribou Barbie via Facebook, August 9, 2009:
Also this week, Alaskans will join Senators Murkowski and Begich in town hall meetings to discuss the current health care legislation. There are many disturbing details in the current bill that Washington is trying to rush through Congress, but we must stick to a discussion of the issues and not get sidetracked by tactics that can be accused of leading to intimidation or harassment. Such tactics diminish our nation’s civil discourse which we need now more than ever because the fine print in this outrageous health care proposal must be understood clearly and not get lost in conscientious voters’ passion to want to make elected officials hear what we are saying. Let’s not give the proponents of nationalized health care any reason to criticize us.
Funny how just last Friday, Bible Spice had absolutely no problem with stoking the resentments that lead to “intimidation and harassment,” thereby “giv[ing] the proponents of [Obama’s rather modest health care reform plan] any reason to criticize” them:
The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.
Right. Because CIGNA’s “death panels” are soooooooooooooooo much better. 
This is freaky. You posted your piece at the same DAMMIT JANET! did.

Holy crap, you’re right! I guess great minds really do think alike, eh?

They must be sensing that something’s about to blow. Palin, and Beck last week (asking teabaggers not to become Timothy McVeighs — before he joked about poisoning Nancy Pelosi, that is).
Problem is, they say “Turn it down” and they think that absolves them of any guilt for anything that might happen, so they they don’t feel bad about turning the volume back up again.
