Sarah Palin Hates Violence

Apparently Sarah Palin emailed this to Glenn Beck in response to the Arizona shooting:

I hate violence. I hate war. Our children will not have peace if politicos just capitalize on this to succeed in portraying anyone as inciting terror and violence.
Well, my guess is that it won't be hard to portray a great deal of people as inciting violence, which I guess is why you scrubbed your website and twitter account as soon as news of the shooting broke. You didn't really make it a hard thing to succeed at.

But ignore that for a second. I am most of all appalled by the suggestion that Sarah Palin "hates" violence. It's hard to even think of Sarah Palin without thinking of weapons and hawkish attitude she has consciously and deliberately shrouded herself in. If you hated war, Sarah, then you would be against fighting them.
