The New York Times reports:
WASHINGTON – Sarah Palin said in a television interview on Monday evening that she agreed with bipartisan calls for civility in the wake of theArizona shooting rampage, but she vowed to not be deterred from political debates while deciding whether to run for president.
“Peaceful dissent and discussion about ideas, that is what makes America exceptional,” Ms. Palin said in a prime-time appearance on the Fox News Channel. “We won’t allow that to be stifled by a tragic event in Arizona.”
Ms. Palin, a former Alaska governor, said that she had not yet decided what course her political future would take, but declared: “I’m not going to sit down. I’m not going to shut up.”
