A New Hampshire candidate for the state house is taking heat from the state Republican Party after he wrote on a Facebook thread that he wishes former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and the father of her grandson were in the plane crash that killed former Sen. Ted Stevens in Alaska on Monday.
“Just wish Sarah and Levy (sic) were on board,” wrote Keith Halloran, a Democratic candidate for Cheshire County House District 7, referencing Palin and Levi Johnston, the on-again, off-again boyfriend of her daughter.
Stevens and four others died in the crash after the plane headed to a fishing trip slammed into the side of a mountain in Alaska.
The comment from Halloran was in response to a post on Facebook from Republican state Rep. DJ Bettencourt about Steven’s death, who said, “I find it truly sad and sickening that some folks can’t find a way to be positive or at least keep quiet about someone when they pass away.”
The New Hampshire GOP called Holloran’s comment a “new low, even by the standards of the New Hampshire Democrat (sic) Party.”
“His publicly stated death wish for Governor Palin and her family is abhorrent, and has no place in our public discourse,” said NHGOP communications director Ryan Williams.
Neither Halloran, nor the state Democratic party, immediately returned a request for comment.

He’s a disgusting cockroach who should resign. Where is the media on this, oh wait, I made a funny..the media, giving a damn about a death wish against Sarah Palin, yeah that will be the day
What a hateful sentiment! How could someone write that?
Wow... that’s pretty shamefull. Hate to say it but the Lib’s seem to wish us all dead. They’re such tolerant bigots. \sarc
Democrats: The tolerant,caring party.
Death threats and hate speech from the left is nothing new and is becoming more acceptable as the divide widens.
Oh, I doubt that. Are NH DemocRats any less un-American than other DemocRats?
Our excellent media would cover this more if the statement was made by Palin about a Democrat . . . . .
“How could someone write that?”
How? He’s a DEMOCRAT. They have no class.
Quite true. Alinsky refered to all political opponents as "enemies" and stated the goal should be to "destroy" them.
...but the Democratic Party is the party of tolerance, blah, blah, and blah.....yeah, okie dokie.... =.=
Yes, indeed.
That truth needs to be recognized by all. The left wants nothing less than to see their political opposition exterminated, preferably by the all-powerful state.
And they’ll do it if they ever achieve the power to do so.
Even the phrase NH Democrat is fairly recent. NH was a solidly Conservaive state. The MA libs started fleeing their state to avoid the ruinous taxes but brought their nutty politics with them. Now NH is MA lite.
I lived in NH for 14 years and have some great memories of the place. The less I read about it the better, I prefer my memories to remain pleasant.
Mr. Halloran must be a MA native.

I’ve lived here for fifteen, and I agree.
Cute.
Facebook and twitter may be the death of many politicians. I hope he’s one of them.
the party of hateful, snide, rude, ignorant, pigs!
Instead of raging on him here why not tell HIM how you feel?
