3. Can you compete with death threats?

Because I guarantee you that that is what Griffin is getting from the pro-Palin crowd.

If he gets a thousand reasonable emails from DU and other good Democrats and twenty semi literate emails from mouth breathers threatening him and his family, which ones do you think he will pay attention to.

Those who support Bashir will never lower themselves to the level of the wing nuts, and fear is a powerful motivator.

All you can hope for is that Griffin somehow grows a spine very quickly. I'm not holding my breath.
