"Kill him!" "TREASON!!!11" - - Palin hatefests are becoming a pattern

[Bluebear]

In the latest instance of inflammatory outbursts at McCain-Palin rallies, a crowd member screamed "treason!" during an event on Tuesday after Sarah Palin accused Barack Obama of criticizing U.S. troops.

" said, too, that our troops in Afghanistan are 'air raiding villages and killing civilians,'" Palin said, mischaracterizing a 2007 remark by Obama. "I hope Americans know that is not what our brave men and women in uniform are doing in Afghanistan. The U.S. military is fighting terrorism and protecting us and protecting our freedom."

Shortly afterward, a male member of the crowd in Jacksonville, Florida, yelled "treason!" loudly enough to be picked up by television microphones.

At a Palin rally on Monday, television stations picked up audio of a crowd member calling Obama a "terrorist," while Dana Milbank reported that "ne Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, 'Sit down, boy.'" Also on Monday, at a McCain rally, one member of the audience yelled, "Kill him!"

1. Wheres the Secret Service?

Shouldnt they be dragging these people out of the rallys and turning them over to law enforcement for making threats or committing hate crimes?

[guitar man]

4. that only applies

if the threat is against a repug, if it's against a Democrat, I guess it isn't a problem. :shrug:

[bdamomma]

25. exactly where is the Secret Service to pick up these people?

this is dangerous.

[Subdivisions]

2. US forces air-raided an Afgani village and killed tens of school

children. So, where is Obama wrong on that point?

Our Guys Don't Do That

They were sent over there to kill terrorists. So anyone they kill are terrorists.

(and if any aren't, well, fuck: in case you hadn't noticed, WE'RE AT WAR WITH THESE PEOPLE. War is messy and mistakes happen. Besides, if there really were kids there, Hanoi Jane, the terrorists are to blame for hiding behind them)

Why do you so reflexively, mindlessly hate America (The Greatest Country in the USA), you commie, socialist, anti-business, surrender monkey, latte-drinking, radical leftist liiiiiberal?

:sarcasm:

This view has been sponsored by An American Carol, in theaters now, and available really, really, really soon as a "free gift" from conservative mass-mailing organizations.

3. the weaker the mind the stronger the spleen.

[Bobbieo]

7. Does this woman EVER discuss issues at these rallies?

[peekaloo]

10. no need. she's doing the dirty work for the old man.

[demo dutch]

5. She is such a racist!

[B Calm]

6. What else can we say, Republicans are idiots. Their brave with friends,

but scared little chidren when standing alone.

Actual footage of Palin addressing the Alaskan Independence Party Convention!!!

I'm sorry for the hijack but this is my first post and they wouldn't let me start a thread. This could finish off the McSame campaign!

[CJCRANE]

20. Good point.

Maybe they'll use this once the Bill Ayers/Keating 5 spat has cooled off.

Don't forget there's also Palin's former church and witch-hunter pal that can be used.

[beam me up scottie]

21. Thanks for posting that link.

And a belated welcome to DU! :hi:

[CJCRANE]

9. McCain-Palin could wear

swastika armbands and the MSM still wouldn't notice they're using fascist techniques.

[beam me up scottie]

35. She graduated from the Ann Coulter School of Debate.

Imagine having to listen to her for four years...

[EFerrari]

11. Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come & join the Grand Old Party.

They're staging hatred. By November, their followers will be in uniform.

[IndependentDem]

12. i think these are planted "supporters"

it just seems a bit fishy to me.

[stillcool]

13. planted by who?

the McCain Campaign? So they can get their hate message out there, without having to say anything? Makes sense to me.

[IndependentDem]

18. yep. They get to keep their hands clean this way. nt

[stillcool]

23. I just thought of that story....

about the press not being allowed inside the park, and not allowed to ask questions of the people there. I didn't understand that, but now it makes sense.

[Shakespeare]

15. I don't. This is the end result of 16 years of hatred directed at the left.

Look directly to people like Coulter and Hannity and Limbaugh--this is what they've been fomenting.

[IndependentDem]

19. I just find it odd that this is starting now...

The hatred has been there for a while... but why didn't we hear these comments weeks ago? It seems odd that there have been so many in the last couple of days within range of a mic.

[CJCRANE]

22. Maybe Palin's passable debate performance gave her a new confidence

to be her old snarky self again.

On edit: BTW I still think she was wearing an ear-piece at the debate (I guess we might find out after a few months as we did with Shrub's device).

[Bluebear]

24. Because Palin is feeling her oats & "taking the gloves off". She said so herself.

These are not plants, these are people being whipped into a frenzy by their lipstick pig.

[IndependentDem]

30. you are probably right.

my tin foil hat gets a bit tight at times.

[beam me up scottie]

36. They're simply welcoming their Pig Overlord...

edited to apologize to real pigs everywhere, they're far more noble than republicans.

[bdamomma]

31. they are transferring their hatred and denial for the last 8 years on us.

on us Liberals and progressives.

[MorningGlow]

28. I do too

Posted this in another thread--three vile utterances within a short period of time, all of which could be picked up by a microphone? And what microphone? These are rallies--all the microphones that are amplifying what's being said should be on the stage, pointing toward Palin, not in the audience. (This isn't a town meeting Q&A, I mean.) Something stinks, here.

[wundermaus]

14. I've seem this pattern before...

Successful, Progressive leaders are murdered. Nothing new about this... nothing unusual... just a predictable pattern I have seen throughout my lifetime... don't be surprised.

[melody]

17. They don't assassinate anymore ... they character assassinate

Besides, why is everyone fanning these flames today? Anyone touches a hair on Obama's head, it WILL cause an uprising and there won't be much left of anyone who ever voted for the GOP.

[beam me up scottie]

16. Bloody cow. She's preaching to the choir.

I can only hope stunts like this will knock the fence-sitters over onto our side of the pasture.

[bdamomma]

32. those independent voters will not stand for this spewing of hate.

[beam me up scottie]

34. That's why I'm hoping this will backfire on them.

I live in the good ole boy south and they're even getting sick of the bullshit, she may seem hot to some, but she's not THAT hot.
The kind of men who applaud women like Ann Coulter, Michele Malkin and Sarah don't want to have to listen to them every day.

[raccoon]

26. Stop the world, I want to get off. nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

40. Me too.

[Best_man23]

27. Just wondering

How long before we start audibly hearing the N-bomb dropped at these rallies?

[bdamomma]

29. I wonder if they hear more people shouting out these things

the media will report on it, and how this woman is supporting this kind of hatred.

[newtothegame]

33. :(

[OakCliffDem]

37. Republican Modus Operandi

[LWolf]

39. I heard this in my classroom yesterday.

From a student.

The same student whose parent I wrote about in this post:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=219x11098

She said, "Obama should die."

I'm beginning to wonder if this is the final Republican strategy. If it's not close enough to get away with creative diebold vote counts, they'll lead rallies that rally people to eliminate the competition before votes are cast.
