"Kill Him"

Ladies and Gentlemen, your modern Republican party (from Palin's campaign stop in Florida yesterday):

"Now it turns out, one of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers," Palin said.

"Boooo!" said the crowd.

"And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, 'launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol,'" she continued.

"Boooo!" the crowd repeated.

"Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience.


Wow. Just wow. Y'ever notice that Republicans who advocate lower taxes and more war never get shot by guys like these? Count with me: Medgar Evers, MLK Jr, Malcolm X, JFK, RFK. It's not clear whether the guy in the audience meant kill Ayers...or Obama....but with the exception of Ronald Reagan (who was shot by a complete nut for reasons having more to do with Jodie Foster than with politics), the evidence suggests that the notion that a black liberal being marked for violence - even just with an epithet - wouldn't be an unusual thing to imagine taking place. Wow.

I have no doubt there are plans in motion to do great harm to this man from hateful people who want to maintain the "status quo"

I've heard of this story, and it absolutely scares and saddens me.

Yawn.


Just like the democrats who've called for Cheney to be shot. Or for McCain to be crippled...

Pull out any - ANY - quote from THIS campaign, where an Obama supporter has said, within earshot of microphones or credible reporters, to the effect that McCain or Palin should be shot or otherwise have violence done to them.

How do you know who this man was referring to?

This is outrageous, and shows just how desperate the GOP is to stay in power. They would rather resort to inciting hate and/or riots if allowed than lose with honor and dignity. Someone high up (RNC) needs to shut down their hate mongering.

The treats against fellow Gopers was a sign that the worse was yet to come. Those thugs can try something to hurt Obama if their evil and crazy minds direct them to, but there will be dire consequences and repercussions through out the world for their choices.

And we are to believe a reporter from the Washington Compost?

I think it's those at the top in the Republican party who are the biggest hate mongerers; don't think we can count on them to stop it:

"Sen. Lindsey Graham, a McCain confidant, told The Post's David Broder that the campaign would "go down in history as stupid if they don't unleash" Palin. Well, the self-identified pit bull has been unleashed -- if not unhinged."

I like that descriptor for SP--unhinged she is!

They're clinging to scraps. The fear of exposing their Obamessiah is palpable.
