Sarah Palin blamed by the US Secret Service over death threats against Barack Obama
Telegraph UK ^

Posted on 11/09/2008 2:37:48 PM PST by WaveMan

Good grief - I suppose now that Bush is leaving, they'll have to focus their hatred towards Palin:

The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of “palling around with terrorists”, citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers.

The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling “terrorist” and “kill him” until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.

But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.

The Secret Service warned the Obama family in mid October that they had seen a dramatic increase in the number of threats against the Democratic candidate, coinciding with Mrs Palin’s attacks.

Michelle Obama, the future First Lady, was so upset that she turned to her friend and campaign adviser Valerie Jarrett and said: “Why would they try to make people hate us?”

Give me a break.

Perhaps it was Obama’s ties to terrorists that prompted the threats.

Oh, Boo-Freakin’-Hoo!! Maybe Obama should choose his pals more carefully. Blaming Sarah Palin for death threats on Obama is a joke. I suppose the two skinheads in Tennessee were Palin staffers, right?

I thought the Secret Service determined the "kill him" stuff was the figment of a reporter's imagination.

Don’t be surprised that keeping company with the corrupt Chicago political machine and unrepentant terrorists would attract fleas.

Based on this, if I were a Presidential/Vice Presidential candidate I WOULD NOT use the Secret Service for anything. They obviously blab too much.

Sarah Palin needs to start filing lawsuits and get the sources named. Something tells me it will lead right back to the DNC people.

How long before running for office as a conservative is categorized as a “hate crime”?

Amen gitmo! This “kill him” crap was already de-bunked by the secret service.
Besides, when did white supremacists ever need to be encouraged?! They are a hateful fringe, like the MSM.

She defended your loser butt.
Where are you?


The post election gang rape of Sarah Palin wasn't going to be just a few 24 hour news cycles. A new week, a new wave.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t hear anything from either Palin or McCain that would not have been said if Obama was %100 caucasian.
