For the first time since Arizona's assassination has Sarah Palin said in a TV interview. But the conversation at her U.S. home Fox News was degraded to PR application. Once again she was allowed to maintain its image - as a martyr for the rights and arch-enemy of the left. No trace of self-doubt. An interview that was barely.More a polite conversation between two like-minded people. Or a commercial in which one plays the Stooges and the other his rehearsed "talking points" get rid of - for free of course. The cues in this case was Sean Hannity, one of the sharpest conservative polemicist of the U.S. cable channel Fox News.
And the lady with the rehearsed "talking points" was Sarah Palin, icon of the right, arch-enemy of the Left - and one of the highest paid Kommentatn of, well, Fox News. Something called synergy. Palin appeared on Monday evening at their home station to consult on Hannity can be the first time since the shooting of Arizona: "She's here," shouted the order to "respond to the political blame game." Sarah Palin, eternal sacrifice, eternal perpetrator: The exhibition game, the host the former vice presidential candidate and part of the U.S.
media since 2008, will therefore in the next round. It does not matter if Palin because of their flat Wild West rhetoric ("Do not give in - reload") was really responsible for the assassination of Tucson, as their critics call. It's all about one thing: Palin's Image to cement - either a martyr or villain in American political circus.
To say it with George W. Bush: "Mission accomplished." No sooner had Palin had let live switch in Hannitys studio, sat on her estate in Alaska, where they settle in the outfit with Stars and Stripes pin in front of the fireplace, since turned the other hand, the artificial "controversy" even further: "Breaking News", crowed Fox News rival MSNBC happy, repeating excerpts of the performance, before the latest progress of the wounded deputies Gabrielle Giffords on the long road to recovery reported ("She smiles").
To which Fox News and MSNBC the same replacements if eindrosch. The Empörungsmaschine ran again in full swing. "It's not about me," Palin's performance was there a completely predictable, ergo totally unnecessary use of PR in their own right. No matter what she would say: neither their enemies nor their friends would change their mind.
"You are loved by many," Hannity gushed trembling, "and they are a lightning rod in the public arena." Basta. Their political prospects are after Hannity appearance so well and as bad as before. Palin's first reaction to the attack hurt their stature, there's no doubt it has changed nothing.
The chance to transcend it has, but she missed her home match on Fox News. Palin preferred to remain faithful to all. She quoted the Bible (twice) and the black civil rights activist Martin Luther King, which the U.S. thought on Monday (once). And then she lost between commercial breaks for painkillers and beauty products, increasing the thread.
After they had consumed their rehearsed phrases, they stumbled into that sentence ellipses for which they are preferred. Since there was not much that they made it clear first, and they think the attack in Tucson "absolutely horrendous", and asked for compassion. The reflection was short-lived: It Hannity turned the conversation to the criticism of the Left to Palin.
"This is not about me," she lied - and took the prototype to be on alert. The throw-off, it was a "Mordkomplizin" applies not only her but all the 'Tea-Party-Patriots, "yes," the entire state of Arizona. " Hannity helped by willing, recalled the harsh words of celebrities and all the "death threats" that her self-APPLY.
"Yes, we get a lot," confirmed Palin you. "My children. This is the worst." The fitted perfectly into the fictional character, as the multimillionaire Palin is projecting itself has always been: the standard bearer of the man attacked, but unbroken. No trace of self-doubt, on the other side: the "lame stream media" as the Palin their favorite opponents, the mainstream media (NBC, ABC, CNN, seconded Hannity), also dubbed this time.
The fact that Fox News, the strongest rate news channel of all, the most influential mainstream media is not the irony struck her. They also concealed that the campaign rhetoric that America's political climate last poisoned, mainly comes from the right. Of those who insult Barack Obama as a traitor to summon the demise of the nation, calling for armed resistance and reject calls for more "decency".
Some radio talker Rush Limbaugh to bark yet last week: "We do not need to heal." Palin took Limbaugh lovingly protection - he was as much a victim as she. As always, they showed no trace of self-doubt. Their controversial graphics with crosshairs on the constituencies Giffords and other Democrats? "The Democrats are using for years." Its unfortunate, if not careless choice of words with which she raised the criticism of the demagogues to "blood revenge", an anti-Semitic loaded term? "He will use it for eons." It was Giffords themselves who had declared concern for their safety - with express reference to Palin's crosshairs card.
Here, the most Jewish organizations had used vigorously against Palin's formulation. Instead: Keep it up. "It's about the message that I do not hesitate to spread through the country. .? "You mean that she flirts more with a presidential candidacy" You do not keep quiet I'm not willing to explain something about my political future, "flirted Palin - and the door was still open, what else: ".
I speak for many" How is prescribed, but only she is determined and knows where it goes Next, at least according to Reno, divorce Paradise in Arizona's neighboring state of Nevada, where she holds the end of January a speech hosted by... the Safari Club International -. a lively combination of hunting weapons and friends whose annual meeting at which some 20,000 people are expected to be sold out already.
