Obama and his camp are hiding stuff and it needs to come out now, before the election, not after!

I will say I am genuinely concered about Obama's connections. I'm sorry but this guy has too many close intimate connections with very radical groups and individuals for it to be innocent! I don't buy it.
Um, way to stay on topic. How about you go into another thread with your ignorant fear-mongering.

Palin got $30,000 in the Alaska oil payoffs. Did she return it and say, "I'm too independent, I eat pine cones to survive and don't need this money".


Did she give the money back?

of course they would - it's good news. Just as SOME reporters have covered the "Kill him!' and "terrorist" incidents. But I'm shocked it's not more widely known.

I do think Palin should have stopped for a moment to say something. She could have said something light, like "You know I love hearing all this passion but don't do anything that'll get ya tossed in jail, because for Pete's sake we need you to vote, dontcha know."
Which is not to say that even having one man shouting "kill him" is acceptable. It's definitely not acceptable. I presume the security forces dealt with it.

Yes, it absolutely petrifies me. However, I do not hold Palin responsible (and I am not a fan of hers). She is no more responsible for what someone in the crowd might shout out just as Obama is not responsible for what terrorist countries might support him.

Whether you like her or not, Sarah and Todd Palin can take care of themselves if they have to.

As every Presidential and VP candidate does... now when did an Obama supporter shout out a threat at a rally?

This hate speech against Obama is occuring NOW. At rallies for the Republican ticket!!! I'm terrified for Obama if/when he wins. he better have the best secret service details on earth.
No possibility of riots if their candidate does not win?

There would be a report somewhere. You honestly think the MSM would ignore a death threat shouted out at a rally, simply because it was against Palin? Please.

Ha! What joke. You started this thread as an "ignorant fear-mongering" post, based on unrelated content. I come in and here and state something factual and you accuse me of the same thing you did in the content of an entire thread? More liberal hypocrisy! There may have been some random person shout out something bad at a Republican rally and you are trying to equate it to the entire Republican party! Give me a break already!
