"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.

Given that Obama is up between 3 to 9 points in the polls on what basis do you cite 'desperation'?

In your response to sopal you said:


I don't know these people are democrats, just as the original poster doesn't know if the man at the rally was a republican.


And, yet, that's exactly what you said in the following post:


"I can start posting TONS of stupid democrats that chant MUCH worse than that."

Maybe it hurts "you," but it doesn't hurt me.
