Sarah Palin: Holy ****

[Theben]

Theben, what other way is there to understand this statement?

While I can't speak for Palin herself, the people commonly associated with her are angry and scared. The militia groups of the 1990s are seeing a huge resurgence well beyond anything seen in the last decade. And having talked to some of these people, it's pretty obvious that while most would not pull the trigger themselves they wouldn't mind if someone else did. All you have to do is read about reactions from like-minded folks when abortion doctors or gays are killed to realize how they would respond.

You mean Teahbin?

I knew there was a reason I saved your quote.

One can demonize any group like this. Amateurish, anecdote-based hate vomit. I'm pretty sure that in Canada the above is illegal.

[Theben]

Because thruout history, there has never been any group of people who wished ill on another group.

Yes, I'm well aware of the rise in political sectarianism/militancy among right-wingers and I find it sickening and even worrisome.

But Che SAID that PALIN HERSELF wants to see Democratic leaders shot. That's different from saying there are violent-minded right-wing nutjobs out there, who want to kill Democratic leaders.

Left-wingers have been known to vandalize democratic targets in order to make conservatives look bad:

One of two people suspected of shattering 11 windows Tuesday morning at the state Democratic Party headquarters has an arrest record and a history of helping a Democratic political candidate, public records show.
...
"This sounds like the type of Democratic tactic from the left fringe trying to make Republicans look mean-spirited," Balmer said. "In this case, it blew up in their face. He was caught red-handed."

You should really lay off the crack, HalfLotus.

Come on Mr Fun, a right-winger would never destroy property for a political cause.

You stay classy, Sarah.

What do you expect from her? Seriously. Keep it up, Sarah

More likely it is the lefty vandal/agent provocateur who's on crack. She lived in a bicycle cooperative for christ's sake. Pathetic liberals.

[Kidlicious]

Is there any conspiracy that you don't believe in?

Yes - anyone who has a different lifestyle from yours is OBVIOUSLY on crack. Good to see that you're not closed-minded.

This is the one time HL may be making sense. I guess he put the pipe down for awhile.

[Kidlicious]

It's like playing the slot machines. Eventually you are going to hit.
