Scranton Times-Tribune:

The U.S. Secret Service is investigating a threatening remark directed at Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama during a political event in Scranton.

The agency followed up on a report in The Times-Tribune that a member of the crowd shouted, "Kill him!" after one mention of Mr. Obama's name during a rally Tuesday for Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

When I first heard McCain was stepping back a little from his attacks on Obama in stump speeches I immediately thought Secret Service was involved. These guys have to take a bullet for the candidate. I wouldn't be surprised if it was McCain's own detail that told him to tone it down. They were hearing what the crowds were chanting and I bet they were concerned for their Obama counterparts.

If the so-called 'secret service' had acted on the first "kill him" threat, then it is highly unlikely that the Republi-cons at those kkk rallies would want to put their candidate in a bind.

The secret service should make it abundantly clear that
SUCH THREATS ARE CRIMINAL AND WILL NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.

I hope the secret service stopped long enough to have a strong talk with Sarah Palin too! Perhaps she will "think" before...... oh yeah I forgot. She might just have to go to jail since she has nothing else to lose.

A Kansas City lawyer and supporter of Barack Obama for president has filed suit in federal court, alleging that the Republican ticket has incited violence against the Democratic nominee.

This attorney is in it for him self more than anything. He wants some free advertising and is jumping on the opportunity wagen of bashers called the media. I don't hate Obama or McCain more than I hate the media and attorneys. They are for Obama and have only attacked McCain.

It should be easy to find out who said it; just look for the one wearing the white hood--It's sad but true. Watching a mccain or palin rally is like watching an old movie about the deep south and lynchings. Maybe they should first investigate palin--she seems to enjoy bringing out this type of behavior in people and responds to it with giggles and laughs; not behavior for someone who may hold the second highest position of power in the world. John mccain should be ASHAMED for putting her on the ticket.

All Secret Service has to do is go to any red state right now and hang out in any work place and they will hear "kill him" threats every day - all trumped up by the likes of Hannity and Lameballs.

This is a good thing. It is the start to shutting up the idiots and scary people who have potential to be dangerous.

HATE is so ugly, isn't it? Everybody with "good sense" let's use our thoughts to pray for Obama and his family and help protect them from all harm domestic and foreign. If we pool our good thoughts together, we can help them and block the HATERS out.

Let's do it guys for the sake of us all. Obama is the only one who cares about us and we must care enough about him to protect him.

Freedom of Speech stops being relevant when people shout "Kill Him"...sorry. (ir the proverbial "FIRE!" in a theater). It's about time that this was taken seriously.

This country has an abominable history of violence, race hatred and racially motivated murder...to incite this kind of emotion is AMORAL and playing with fire. Sarah Palin is a disgrace and needs to be called out again and agin for her deafening silence.

Is it possible that McCain and Palin BELIEVE their own lies?
