"Kill Him"

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

Oh...this whole way of stoking right-wing hate is going to get even worse.

"Imagine McCain/Palin egging some of them on."
Oh, c'mon, do you really truly think that an elected official is going to "egg" people on to shoot others of different races? Gosh darnit, isn't your son in the military? Hmm McCain could be his boss soon enough, I certainly hope you don't really believe that McCain would egg gun toting military personnel on....or you said it because you believe that could happen. Interesting.
