Crooks and Liars: Sarah Palin: Media Must 'Quit Claiming' Black Lives Matter Protesters 'Are People'
"Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) over the weekend demanded that media outlets begin referring to Black Lives Matter activists as "thugs" instead of calling them "protesters" or "people."
"They're not protesters," she said during an interview on Breitbart News Sunday. "You know, these are thugs, they're rioters."
"And yeah, I'm calling out the media, saying quit claiming that these rioters are people," Palin continued. "They're stomping on a flag -- figuratively and literally -- shouting 'death to cops', celebrating violence."
According to the former GOP vice presidential nominee, black activists "are getting away with it because there aren't enough of them gutsy enough to call out what it actually is -- and it's sick."
"And I think the media is perpetuating a message that really evil people are thriving on right now," Palin added, "as they try to warp malleable minds that would believe that one race matters more than another."
"You know, it's the antithesis of Martin Luther King Jr.'s message. It's the antithesis of our Constitution, of the Bill of Rights, our charters of liberty that says all men are created equal."

As long as there are Sarah Palin types in this world, we cannot have a constructive conversation. The voices of those on both the left and right who are asking for a public conversation and understanding of the causes of events like these are drowned out by the Sarah Palins and the Rudy Giuliani's who seem to have a different agenda.. The Black Lives Matter people that I have seen interviewed on TV do not condone the killings in Dallas. They have always advocated for peaceful protest, and are shocked as anyone by the killings in Dallas.
