Palin Rally: "Kill Him" Yelled Again

Via Politico, The Scranton Times reports another threat against Barack Obama at a Sarah Palin rally Tuesday:

Chris Hackett addressed the increasingly feisty crowd as they await the arrival of Gov. Palin.

Each time the Republican candidate for the seat in the 10th Congressional District mentioned Barack Obama the crowd booed loudly.

One man screamed "kill him!"

At previous rallies, McCain-Palin supporters have shouted "Kill Him!" as well as "Treason!" "Terrorist!" and "Off With His Head!"

The latest violent call came on the same day that Brave New Films has come out with a compilation of these moments, urging supporters to "tell John McCain to end the politics of hate."

Oh man, the Secret Service had better be doing their jobs. These crazies are making me increasingly nervous.

Great article about Republicans and hate.

Palin revels in the hate speech. She enjoys it to her core. And IMO she enjoys it all the more because Obama is Black. These latest revelations about her unwillingness to have African-Americans and Native Alaskans in her cabinet speaks volumes! And as comment on an unrelated topic, I give you this: http://i35.tinypic.com/zvesnt.png ~~~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD1UjWlxsNI

How sad that this level of i'diocy has become the norm for McCain backers.

[AnalyzeIT]

Hmmms, it would seem as if Palin was 'vetted' after all. Vetted, in the sense that she would be the one to spread hate speech.

Did Palin Really Say She Wouldn't Hire Blacks?

In Alaska - she's on record with a terse utterance on hate crimes legislation and on cultural diversity.

http://truth4realblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/did-palin-really-say-she-wouldnt-hire.html

Editor's note: In a meeting with a group of prominent African-American leaders on April 29, 2008, Alaska governor Sarah Palin allegedly said that she wouldn't hire blacks in her cabinet or on her staff. This explosive charge—if true—would cast serious doubts on Palin's fitness for the vice-presidency.

NAM contributing editor Earl Ofari Hutchinson examines the accuracy of the claim.

Sarah Palin admittedly hasn't had much of a track record when it comes to acknowledging—let alone promoting—diversity during her short tenure as Alaska governor.

But Palin's skimpy track record and paucity of words on diversity is relatively tame compared to the far more damaging accusation that's making the rounds.

Your link is a spam. My computer almost crushed.

"The First Amendment to the United States Constitution states that "Congress shall make no law... abridging.­.. the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances­." The existence of free speech zones is based on U.S. court decisions stipulating that the government may regulate the time, place, and manner—but not content—of expression­."

These hate events could be shut down. I'd rather see just culprits questioned, especially for accomplices.

[robeson]

While the First Amendment grants a right to free speech, there are exceptions, notes media analyst Cynthia Brumfield at the IP & Democracy blog.

"The First Amendment does not protect speech that threatens others or that could incite panic or rioting," she wrote. "In fact, calling for the murder of people is grounds for arrest and indictment­."

[lisakaz2]

And yet where are the arrests here?

Now the second time the Secret Service was asleep at the switch? I can understand them not being prepared for the first "Kill him", but since that happened, wouldn't you think they would be on the lookout for further threats? I suppose this one got away too. When Obama becomes president, I hope he fires the lot of them and puts in people he can trust.

You mean, do exactly what Democrat undercovers have been doing at McCain/Palin rallies?

Great name. Your assertion STINKS !

[Grannysue]

These people yell "Kill him" and then say their worried about "Terriorist"? LOL, if you ask me the people attending these McPalin rallies are the terriorists.

[Yve72]

They are projecting.

TRUTH SQUADS!! GET THE FACTS AND GET OUT THERE AND EDUCATE THE PEOPLE.
Oh--DON'T waste too much time on these nutjobs-they will need a WHOLE LOT MORE education than a face-to-face encounter with an Obama supporter can accomplish. BUT--there are STILL PLENTY of undecided voters out there (at least people who SAY they are undecided). Contact your local Obama campaign office. THEY know where these people ARE. Sarah Silverman is doing a 'Great Schlep' in Florida? Okay--do a 'GREAT SCHLEP' in your CITY. You don't HAVE TO TRAVEL--get out there and let people KNOW what OBAMA stands for.
Oh-and DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!!

Part of the TRUTH that needs to be told is that sadly McCain and Palin decided to follow Sean Hannity's directives, when they told him that they would begin attacking Obama on the "UNREPENTANT TERRORIST" issue, Rev. Wright etc.

They apparently did so to satisfy the right wing Republican BASE, probably lost any hope of winning the election, and opened up a HUGE CAN of VERY UGLY worms that live in the bowels of Hannity and Limbaugh land.

Until such time that the Republican party stops being the party of hate, intolerance, fear and EXCLUSION, they will no longer EVER have a chance at winning back the White House.

Compare the diverse audience that attended Obama's DNC acceptance speech ceremony, with the 99% white audience the next day at McCain's introduction of Palin as his VP pick. 15,000 people and I observed on multiple TV network coverage, only 1 black man and his son.

Please urge everyone to visit Hannity's website and view his Forums (Washington Politics). Here you will find that right wing Republican BASE, that Hannity, ASSOCIATES with and encourages. The majority of posts there are filled with hate and venom and everyone should see the vestages of what this country needs to now treat like the PARIAH they are.

Vote Barack Obama for President of the United States...

[jeanrenoir]

It's great to have the lunatic white, Republican, working-class mob exposed now on YouTube and the Net in general, not to mention cable tv. The best way to suppress these people is to make fools of them by exposing them, and shaming them as the imbecilic brutes they are. So keep up the great work, Huff Post, and nail these fools every time they dare to raise their evil pin heads.

[Bluestarglow]

Great expose' on both candidates on Frontline.­... Please take a look at it...

[grizhead63]

Just watched KO's special comments.

If McCain/Palin wont stop these browns hirts and thu gs, the Secret Service should film all of their rallies, go after these ha temo ngers, prosecute and put them away for a long, long time.

[noamjunior]

she cant hear people yelling "kill him" but she sure heard the guy who yelled "I think your hot!"

[jacqmac]

Maybe she does selective lip reading! Anyway-since she thought that her own supporters were protesters yesterday, I'm almost sure she DOESN'T hear that OR she thinks it's 'I think you're hot." Regardless, I think I know what to do with all the duct tape that W. advised us to buy a few years back---I'll be shipping it to the McCain campaign headquarters with instructions as to its proper use!
