First they're taking all her clothes back...now this.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/sarahpalin/3405336/Sarah-Palin-blamed-by-the-US-Secret-Service-for-death-threats-against-Barack-Obama.html
"The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of "palling around with terrorists", citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers.
The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling "terrorist" and "kill him" until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.
But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.
The Secret Service warned the Obama family in mid October that they had seen a dramatic increase in the number of threats against the Democratic candidate, coinciding with Mrs Palin's attacks."
"Details of the spike in threats to Mr Obama come as a report last week by security and intelligence analysts Stratfor, warned that he is a high risk target for racist gunmen. It concluded: "Two plots to assassinate Obama were broken up during the campaign season, and several more remain under investigation. We would expect federal authorities to uncover many more plots to attack the president that have been hatched by white supremacist ideologues."
Irate John McCain aides, who blame Mrs Palin for losing the election, claim Mrs Palin took it upon herself to question Mr Obama's patriotism, before the line of attack had been cleared by Mr McCain."

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

The last thing this country needs is a murdered president.
Offensive and disgusting.
whether any of this is all 'true' or not, she has done nothing of value for the country at large, and certainly harmed mccain's campaign and run for the presidency. i still think with or without her obama more than likely would've been elected, but it may well have been a much closer fight.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
How far back and out of context did you stretch with that archive search?
misrepresentation if I ever saw it.

Why? It doesn't apply or make the connection that my scrutinizing Obama equates to wanting him dead. I don't see the connection.

Actually the post was more about Palin and the issue of her falling from grace as of late within her campaign. They have a lawyer sent out to collect her clothes from the shopping spree, and now this story surfaces on how she is accused of generating anti-social behavior with her speeches.

Today you made a post about Rahm Emmanuel's Father and the negative influence you feel he will have on Obama. Whilst i don't agree, and i hope you are proven wrong, as an Obama supporter, that's the sort of stuff that if it ever eventuated, would scare the absolute shit out of me.
I didn't just vote Obama because it seemed like the cool thing to do. Kucinich was my first choice but we all what happened there. I voted Obama because i believe for all the reasons i have stated numerous times, that he is the candidate who's policies are closest to my views. It's not that i can't take criticism of him, i'll be the first one to call him out when or if he fails in one of his promises. I just don't understand why people won't even give him a chance. It's like you would be happy if he fails.
..and what they don't realize is that if he fails we all fail so there isn't anything to be happy about.
I agree with you entire post actually, but I've come to the conclusion that arguing with all these bunch of sour grapes doesn't take me anywhere.
I won't be happy if he fails. I don't think he going to be the change people are seeking in the first place. The were signs telling me this a year ago. This guy is fooling himself and everyone else, unless he starts making some more direct changes in policy that actually reflect change.
Until then...fool people three times.
Now is the time to hold Obama to the fire, not later.
I suspect he will do very little to affect the status quo, as the recipe, and the actions reflected in his voting choices, (and policies) aren't even change to begin with.
Besides that, change can mean anything.

Plus, there is this change that Obama and his team are already planning on with regards to climate change and stem cell research...basically giving science a chance again, which are huge to me in respects of forward progress for this country: http://forums.pearljam.com/showthread.php?t=308520
It's all going to boil down to what he does with the Federal reserve, and his positions on Israel and the middle east. The two are very closely tied together by fierce lobbying interests, and the MIC apparatus. Until he can break the cycle of that reality, little if anything will really change much in the big picture overall.
"Give me control of a nations money and I care not who makes it's laws."
Some of his internal policies might change over Bush, but they are more of a window dressing attempt at reflecting actual change as I see it.
Hopefully he can make alternate energy more of a reality. He'll probably go there, but until he starts talking about the real underlying issues, nothing much will really "change".

I find that joining together to send the world a message refreshing. But these people in whom you dedicate your time are not the real issue here. The issue is money and who calls the shots.
As long as you as a community spend time investment in vehicles, you are exhausting your breath in bent-timespace...Could Obama or SugarCain have been actors in a stage. Obama being set to win and SugarCain as the back up plan?
Has any one here ever appreciated those coloring books, oh, what are they called.....Dot to dot...
The federal bank is what rules our world...Hopefully in the next 4 years, we will have a chance to wake up....

It was the tone of the whole campaign, but she was the pit bull yanking at whatever chain it took to bring in the kibble. Really, she was a shameful mouthpiece for what the rest of the campaign wouldn't overtly touch. Does that make her worse? I'm not sure, but it makes her look worse because people aren't going to remember McCain saying nothing to "He's a n.....!," etc., since he actually showed some decency and spoke up, but they'll remember she never showed any such decency. And in not showing decency, she showed little intelligence and judgment. She exemplifies the worst the Old Republicans have to offer...namely lies and do anything, ANYTHING to win. In my opinion, it's why they lost. After 8 years of lies and my way or the highway, people are tired of it and wanted something else.
