It all started on Facebook. NH State Rep. D.J. Bettencourt (R) posted an update about the plane crash that killed former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens. According to Seacoast Online (Portsmouth), State Rep. Keith Halloran of Rindge (D) commented with the following:
Just wish Sarah and Levy were on board
Not finished, yet another Democrat (State Rep. Timothy Horrigan (D) of Durham, came back with this little gem a little further down thread:
Well a dead Palin wd be even more dangerous than a live one she is all about her myth & if she was dead she cldnt commit any more gaffes.
In the case of Halloran, according to the SeacoastOnline article, [l]eaders from both political parties called on [the] Democratic candidate for New Hampshires House to apologize Wednesday for posting a death wish for Sarah Palin on Facebook. It appears Halloran has issued the standard Democrat apology shallow, meaningless, and insincere but Horrigans fate is more grim. The Manchester Union Leader tells us he has resigned along with his shallow, meaningless, and insincere apology.
I wont even bother pointing out the level of howls and screams wed be subjected to in the news cycle were these insensitive fools to be Politicians with an R after their name. I would like to remind folks, however, that we live in truly wonderful and delicious times when the party that runs our country is made up of such outstanding members of society, with all the care and empathy and worry for their fellow man of a serial killer, that it would even occur to them to wish for someone elses death (or revel in the notion of it). And on Facebook no less not the sharpest tools in the shed those two
So much for civil political discourse.
At long last Snark, I’m afraid you have the best of me.
Unfortunately, we only have the worst of you.
Green AND Red fonts, Christmas in August.
How original.
Tell it to Rudy, Snarky ol’ boy, I can only imagine how lonely you must be.
Trolls never ping the FReepers they’re sneering about.
You has met the enemy and he be you, Kent.
Typical RAT-think.
Oh, it’s a major pissing contest.
Sorry I screwed it up by posting off-topic.
And all you do with that free time is post vile, degrading and idiotic nonsense on FR 24/7?
Wow, remind me not to retire.............
Who in their right mind would spend all there time doing that?
:-)
I liked the pic of you from Kent.
It showed you what those insides become over time..........you might want to think about that sometime.........
Now have a nice(r) day mrmesseduphispants.........
We know that's not posssible for one so bitter, but hey....we're trying.......

Late to the party, but I can't resist "poking" old sharky (and by "poking" I mean with a 10 foot, spiked pole, as shown in Copley's pic above)
Here goes:
Look, 'shark, this thread is about hateful commentary addressed to Mrs Palin. Your comments nearly sink to that level.
'shark, You repeatedly go after MKJ and others. I clearly recall that you wished him to have a heart attack (I didn't need any link to refresh my recollection) That is really, really unFReeper like.
Well, ok, maybe in this brave new world, maybe it isn't. But FR never used to be this way, rife with personal attacks.
I think it is incredibly ironic that a thread attempting to discuss name calling would disinegrate into a name calling bash fest.
Have a great day! I know I will.
... and you're leaping, gazelle-like, to the assumption that you were being specifically referenced, are you...?
Interesting.

Good call.
