FOXNews.com - New Hampshire Democrat Says He's Sorry for Palin Death Wish

That is the trouble with words.

Once they are said or, read they are there forever.

Who knew there were TWO NH democrats wishing Palin dead?

Quote:
The apology came after leaders in both political parties denounced the posting and on the same day that another New Hampshire Democratic lawmaker reportedly resigned for making a similar anti-Palin remark on his Facebook page.

State Rep. Timothy Horrigan stepped down after writing that "a dead Palin wd [sic] be even more dangerous than a live one...she is all about her myth & if she was dead, she cldn't [sic] commit any more gaffes," the Union Leader reported.
No one knew this, cause the MSM didn't cover it.

Just how did you learn about it, then? You don't think the Union Leader is MSM?

Good.

People shouldn't wish others dead like that.

It's just in bad taste.

I mean, I dislike the woman, but I'd never wish her "dead".

The MSM didn't cover it at the time. ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, NYT, LAT, WaPo.

CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Legislator resigns after ‘dead Palin’ comment « - Blogs from CNN.com

Quote:
A New Hampshire state legislator resigned his office Thursday after becoming the second Democrat in as many days to speculate about Sarah Palin's death on Facebook.

"Well a dead Palin wd be even more dangerous than a live one...she is all about her myth & if she was dead she cldn't commit any more gaffes," Horrigan wrote.
PDS, alive and well in NH.

That guy is an idiot. If he's on the ballot this year, then I wouldn't vote for him if I were in NH.

Of course, they are free to vote for their representation. Dude might be an awesome person.

People get so wrapped up in things......sad really.

For some reason the media has made Palin fair game.

That game is just below me to play...so bad others do know how small they have become.

I read about it on cnn.com early this morning. And now I see that Katiana has beaten me to the punch with a great list of numerous (as Bailin' Palin likes to call them) "Lame Stream Media" outlets that have publicized this story. I'm sure there are plenty more where those came from, too.
