1. The mind boggles at the brass-balled nerve.

I hope they are required to document every one of those "threats."

[Larry Ogg]

58. Look how far "magical thinking" has gotten the Republican Party...

One that eventually embraced someone like Sarah Palin as a leader of idiots. Documents will do little to sway her followers, they will just call it liberal propaganda and blame it on Obama. More "magical thinking" of course, and the damage has been done...

[Rosa Luxemburg]

96. nice try, righties

[katty]

161. extreme magical thinking...it's always all about THEM

THEIR victimhood, THEIR morals, THEIR rights....bla bla bla--

[tom_paine]

97. It's been 10 years, aquart. Pretty much everything I have predicted for 10 years has come to pass

Real-life Liberal Hunting Season has opened, ten years or one-third (I hope - it could be much less) of the way through our transformation to Whatever-The-Hell-We-Are-Becoming.

This is NOT nor has it been since 1998 and possibly 1988 or even 1934, when FDR let Prescott Bush walk for treason, been just political business-as-usual.

We ARE in the grip of some form (we hope less brutal, directly and relentlessly violently evil) of transformation akin to what happened in Weimar. Ours is a new form of totalitarianism so it is evolving in a new way, with new grotesqueries, like Glenn Beck phonily crooning MLK, Jr. quotes in his Evil Mr. Rogers falsetto.

Do you SEE yet, or am I still a disgusting pig for daring to denigrate the Holocaust by suggesting that what is going on this country RIGHT NOW and for the last 10 years, nothing but a slower-moving, kinder, gentler unfolding of Weimar Germany?

DO YOU SEE?

Sorry to be so heavy-handed, but if I recall correctly we had that conversation several times.

But things are further along now, aren't they?

Might one say that the use of the term Blood Libel might accurately be described as as shamelessly vapid and arrogant as Nazi propaganda from the late Weimar period?

Have a look for yourself:

Here's an oldie but a goodie from closer to home.

I think, and have always thought, one might say it's beginning to look at lot like Weimar. You have always thought the opposite. I must ask, do you still believe so?

(I won't argue your reply, but I am curious)

[awoke_in_2003]

139. +1000. nt

[formercia]

158. ...and the TeaBaggers are the new SA.

All out of the same playbook. Drive the economy into a deep Depression, where a 'Strong Leader' will put citizens back to work and destroy the enemies of the Fatherland.

[StarsInHerHair]

104. Palin is an "emotional manipulator" look here

http://www.heartless-bitches.com/rants/manipulator/eighteasyways.shtml whatever it is, it's ALWAYS about Palin, and poor Sarah is SUCH a victim!:nopity:

[No Elephants]

151. Thanks Looks interesting. Saved to read later.

[wordpix]

132. yes and how much vandalism has she endured at her office in Wasilla?

[defendandprotect]

198. In fact, how many ACORN people were caught trying to bug her office phones .... !!!

Amazing how effective they were at destroying the ACORN organization and yet

we can't seem to get it clear in people's minds that the T-BAGGERS are bought

and paid for by Koch Bros/oil industry which family also created the John Birch

Society which began to create right wing havoc during the JFK era.

[bushisanidiot]

2. yeah, right. all of those gun-toting liberal nra members are after her.

HAHAHA! Nice try, failin' palin.

that dog don't hunt.

[RainDog]

3. people need to STOP threatening her

do not be the thing you wish to prevent

[handmade34]

11. a little Gandhi

would go a long way today...

Be the change that you want to see in the world.

but also...

All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take.

[hlthe2b]

17. She drummed up a story about a kid that had tormented her in the past

at least to the point she had gotten a restraining order, but brought it back up to suggest he was on his way to Alaska and she felt threatened--less than a day from the shootings. Could it be true? Maybe, but I sincerely doubt it, especially since her good friends at TMZ were the only ones reporting it. I am convinced (as are others it was not simply convenient timing, but reflects an absolutely pathological need to be in the middle of the story---just as we saw today. None of the commenters on that story believed her either, btw...

You can go read this crap if you like... http://www.tmz.com/2011/01/10/sarah-palin-stalker-shawn-christy-alaska-restraining-order/

[aquart]

26. Which "people" you referring to? Know ANYONE who's done it?

Stop believing every press release you read.

[RainDog]

33. neither of us know if it's true or not

but if it is, I spoke my piece and I stand by it.

[aquart]

45. And if she's lying her ass off, what should "people" do then?

[RainDog]

51. lol. the point is that "people" agree that we do not want this hateful climate to continue

that was really the point of my remark.

for you to assume this means that I take any and everything written or said about such situations verbatim is a way that you make all sorts of assumptions about me that are not true.

if you knew me, you would also know this. but you don't know me and, for some reason, you assume it is worthwhile to make an assumption that's not warranted.

it is possible, however, to know if she has gotten threats. what's not possible, of course, is to know who made them - people wanting to gain sympathy for her or not, etc.

however, there are people who speak in anger and say things on both sides of the debate. if you doubt that, you can go read comments at raw story. so, at this time, speaking in anger as retaliation might include some on the left and, if it does, I spoke up to say that this should not happen. That's what we're asking the right wingers to do - to speak out against the nasty political climate today. That's what I'm doing, too.

if that bothers you - well, it does.

take care.

[aquart]

113. I can only go by what you write.

And take note that you don't know a damn thing about me, either.

[RainDog]

117. and I never claimed I did.

but you certainly have indicated a level of hostility that seems outside of the bounds of rationality, in my opinion.

so, let's just agree we'll ignore one another.

[Demeter]

205. Ignore Sarah Palin

That's a fate worse than death for her.

[kestrel91316]

30. Funny, all I hear is CRITICISM of her. That does not equal threats.

Unless you are a malignant narcissist like Sarah.

155. It makes her feel important

The last thing she wants is to be ignored.

[katty]

162. exactly, Sarah "Bernhardt" Palin acting all the way

[freshwest]

200. Yup. It's all about her. Or else, you're just mean. And evil. Don't forget that.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

213. in her warped, twisted, bent universe, criticism = threat

[formercia]

70. It's a fabrication

I doubt very much if 'Liberals' are threatening anyone. That's they're problem. The threats are coming from the 'Right.' Palin has no way to counter it besides making threats up.

[verges]

78. assuming she is being threatened. nt

[HuckleB]

83. Who is threatening her?

If someone is, then the authorities should be investigating the matter.

[awoke_in_2003]

140. yep, she should file a police report...

post haste- wanna bet she won't? Of course she won't, falsifying police reports is a crime. If she is telling the truth, then it should be documented.

[formercia]

156. ...and on the public record.

This is nor Poker. You can't bluff this one Sarah. Truth or Dare.

[MidwestTransplant]

107. Assuming they are.

[closeupready]

150. Agreed.

n/t

[No Elephants]

153. Well, if anyone DID indeed threaten Sara, he, she or they need to stop.

So far, we have only her aide's say so. Her aide also said Sara's cross hairs (and urging folk to reload) had nothing to do with guns.

Think I'll wait for more evidence before concluding her aides are correct about the alleged threat.

[defendandprotect]

204. Certainly, KO, Maddow, Schultz didn't go "Limbaugh/Beckish" calling for harm to Palin?

No -- of course not --

And certainly even Assange who has been victimized by calls for his death, including

from Palin, has only called for investigation of her threats -- and justice to be done.

[leftynyc]

166. You don't actually believe

this bullshit story, do you?

[lolly]

171. Yeah!

And stop carving those backwards "B"s on her face!!!

[lark]

212. Are they really threatening her?

Or is this just something she thought up to try to reinforce her poor me outlook. Is she just trying to keep it all about her by faking this? I could easily see her doing that, the phony evil bitch.

[Drale]

4. I don't condone violence

but you'd be hard pressed to find a worst person, the only person I can think of this is worst. Dick Cheney. Others are equal

[mwb970]

102. +1. cheney is the lowest scum I know of.

Palin is just above him, way down in the muck.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

5. NOBODY should use physical/violent threats against another...

.. but why does the Sow/Reap jump into my head.

STOP IT! ALL JUST STOP IT!

She can be minimized WITHOUT needing to threaten her, she's her OWN worst enemy.

[Doctor_J]

201. No one has threatened her

If someone had, that person ould be on every cable "news" channel for the next week. This is a lie

[LisaM]

6. Awww, poor Sarah!

Did it stop being all about her for a minute?

[awoke_in_2003]

141. Exactly...

very well put.

[MadBadger]

7. I dont believe her

Everything she does is political and this is more of her playing the victim card.

[JudyM]

16. Ditto. n/t

[TroglodyteScholar]

40. Ditto x2 n/t

[pa28]

65. Me neither. She's deflecting. n/t

[Exultant Democracy]

100. I'm sure she has gotten a few death threats in the last 2 years, I do doubt they have risen

she's probably calling every note that says she is to blame a death threat.

[defendandprotect]

203. Maybe the Palin group also found a liberal website with "crosshairs" targeting her ... ?????

This reminds me of Nixon arranging to have thousands of telphone calls and

tens of thousands of telegrams sent to himself at the White House ....

support -- guesss what? -- the Vietnam War!!! :eyes:

[Exultant Democracy]

211. that was good for a chuckle :)

[treestar]

111. Agreed.

Don't believe her for a moment.

[harun]

149. +1, me either. Wants to be the victim.

[muriel_volestrangler]

8. It's the looming head of Vladimir Putin

He's threatening her with Palinium-210 poisoning.

[awoke_in_2003]

143. ...

[tammywammy]

163. I gotta say, that graphic always makes me laugh. n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

196. Easy to laugh...

when Putin's head isn't looming over you :)

[DenverDad]

9. Hmm.

How conveeenient!

[Ilsa]

10. I don't believe it, unless it's the GOP that's threatening her for her idiocy.

Maybe some gun-toting liberals are giving her a taste of her own medicine, but I doubt it. I think it's more likely she's feeling guilty and justifiably persecuted.

[monmouth]

12. I don't believe it for a minute....n/t

[Kurska]

13. The foul taste of your own poisoned brew.

Eventually if all you do politically is distill foulness, don't bitch when you yourself have a taste of it.

Here is a idea, stop being a hatemonger.

[kelly1mm]

37. So it is Ok for her to get death threats (assuming the report is true)? nt

[DBoon]

41. does she want to stifle our freedom of speech?

the same freedom she cherishes?

[kelly1mm]

44. Is that a yes or a no? nt

[DBoon]

125. that's a snark

I don't think death threats are speech

[kelly1mm]

136. Thanks. No it is then. Have a good night! nt

[TroglodyteScholar]

42. That's such a wild assumption that any discussion is kind of silly. n/t

[kelly1mm]

47. Is it really so outside the realm of posibility? Lots of anger here directed

at Palin and for just reason. With the sad state of community mental health we have recently been reminded of you believe Plain has never had death threats? Really?

[TroglodyteScholar]

57. It's sad, but if she said the sky is blue...

...I'd look out the window to see what color it actually is.

[kelly1mm]

64. Ha ha! that's funny as it is sooo true! Thanks for the laugh. nt

[Kurska]

133. I'm not saying it is right. I'm just saying my sympathy is limited.

I don't support political violence and I certainly don't want her to get hurt. I do wish she would understand the reason she is getting these threats are the toxic political environment she helped to create.

[Xipe Totec]

14. I imagine it must feel uncomfortable being in the crosshairs nt

[Mrs. Overall]

15. I don't believe it.

[SemperEadem]

18. LIAR

Someone close to spalin also wrote that speech she delivered, too.

they also defended using crosshairs.

They write the vitriol on her facebook page and twitter.

They give dismissive, snarky answers to legitimate questions from the press.

I dont' put anything past "aides close to spalin".

I guess the terrorist threat is going to go to orange tomorrow.

95. Liar indeed!

They lie and spin so much, a gyroscope would flop over trying to keep up.
MooseKiller....you are a phony fake and a fucking liar

[SaveAmerica]

19. You spin me right round baby, right round, like a record baby

[Ruby the Liberal]

20. Just another ploy to stay in the news cycle.

*yawn*

[Arctic Dave]

21. The only death threats are probably from the English language.

[SaveAmerica]

127. And Canada 'What? Can't you see US from your house?' Throws fish and chips and vinegar

[cling2reality]

22. Wow, just wow

[renate]

23. this is exactly what Rove used to do

If you have a weak point, accuse the other side of it to put them on the defensive, not the offensive--just like when he lied about Kerry's war record to deflect attention from Bush's.

Pathetic and transparent.

[golddigger]

25. Pathetic.

[Grassy Knoll]

27. An aide with no name.....

Figures, just like the Repugs stepping down in AZ. because of death threats
from the Republitea party. LOL

[Uzybone]

28. Palin: Its all about ME

[EFerrari]

29. Couples counseling can be helpful.

[No Elephants]

148. LOLOL!

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

31. Golly - even without a map with gun-sight cross-hairs??? Gotcha, you bet.

I'm glad that words have nothing to do with actions in poor Palin's mind. She should have nothing to worry about since threats aren't actions.

[ismnotwasm]

32. Oh bullshit

Deeper than ever, Sarah

[Turborama]

34. The victim card, took a while. They're so predictable I'm surprised they still get away with it

BTW CNN International are broadcasting a slam about the Blood Libel thing now. It's gone global.

[dipsydoodle]

35. Unprecedented level of attention seeking.

.

[onehandle]

36. IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU, 'AMERICA'S QUITTER.'

Maybe if you had just kept your ignorant mouth shut this week.

Maybe?

[Nexus7]

38. Talking?

Just talking to "security professionals"? For the price of one of those convention suits, they could hire a few. Immediately. 'Cause they're *death* threats!

Oh, I guess they just made it up. So they don't need to hire anyone after all.

[DainBramaged]

39. BULLSHIT, fabrications, this piece of shit is turning it to her

fucking scumbag.

[CakeGrrl]

43. Bullshit. So beyond sick of her shit. Get out of the kitchen, witch. n/t

[CakeGrrl]

87. ?

These are the words that come to mind when this ignorant, race-baiting hatemonger comes up. Simple. And I'm quite calm while typing them.

[safeinOhio]

46. Momma Griz needs to pull

up her big girl panties and get out there and defend her cubs.

[fantomas]

49. "Unprecedented" in relation to what?

The highest level for any public figure in world history? If so, why are they only just "talking" to security professionals?

[Jefferson23]

50. I want to see the proof. n/t

[valerief]

53. Oh, my, look at all the lies flying in out the Palin camp! nt

[uppityperson]

54. I could imagine this is true. She probably never got any before and a few kooks

have now threatened her. Maybe 1. Which would still be "unprecedented"

[james0tucson]

55. Be not deceived;

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Paul of Tarsus, warning Galatians against hypocrisy.

[vduhr]

56. 'unprecedented level ...'?

Just what does that mean? Unprecedented for whom? Sarah? So if she received 2 threats, does that mean she's received 3 threats this week? It's hard to believe because the words 'unprecedented level' is so vague. Has Beck and Limbaugh received any more threats than normal? This would be the first anyone has heard of elevated death threats on anyone except Sarah, and conveniently in time for her most recent public fiasco. She failed twice at defending herself, so she turns it into all about Sarah. Sounds suspiciously like a desperate attempt.

[glinda]

118. Exact wording from recent report on the President.

[NYC Liberal]

59. Folks...one anonymous "close aide" said it, so it MUST be true.

Right?

[Ohio Joe]

60. Sarah should be supporting this

I mean... it's just people exercising free speach... right Sarah?

[Marie Marie]

128. That's right - Lock and Load Baby

Just don't you be pointing that thing at me. God, just what is it going to take to make this woman go away?

[MrMickeysMom]

61. BUT, I THOUGHT EVERYBODY HAD A HARD ON!

What a desperate pile of dog crap that is!

:rofl:

[Anakin Skywalker]

62. She has a histrionic disorder!

[MissDeeds]

63. I wouldn't doubt it

But on the other hand, she's such a manipulative twit this may all be a publicity stunt to garner sympathy for her - and to detract attention from gun-scope-gate and her hideous comments of late.

[EFerrari]

68. When was the last time anyone on the left was busted for threatening a pol?

I don't believe this for a moment.

[MissDeeds]

72. I agree

Someone here had a great post last week saying that liberals carry signs to show outrage, not guns.

[Imajika]

66. Oh it may be true...

She could be getting 2 death threats instead of 1. That is a 100% increase and puts the threat index at an unprecedented level.

Truthfully though, she probably does get a lot of death threats. Many/most high profile celebrities and people in public office do. Always have, always will.

I would not put it past her or her organization to be making a big deal about it now in an effort to convey the message that "see, the left does it too".

[elehhhhna]

67. karma, baby, karma

it's only a bitch if you are.

[wisteria]

69. Sorry, I don't believe this. The left dislikes her, but the majority of us aren't stupid enough to

do any harm to this woman. Doesn't she know we are the ones against free wheeling gun ownership.

[rayofreason]

108. You don't need a majority.

Just a couple of kooks.

[jmowreader]

114. I think it's the Right who are doing it

There is WAY too much shit tying Palin and the teabaggers to this attack, and they're plenty pissed about it.

[rayofreason]

168. Project much? n/t

[bettyellen]

208. they are here doing it too, LOL

[Lost-in-FL]

71. "Aides say?" I call this bullshit...

I agree with Congressman Clayburn, she lacks the intelectual capacity to understand the magnitude of what happened in AZ. Furthermore, I think she lacks the mental capacity to realize why in the hell is she getting death threats. These threats are maybe those on her party that would want to see her simply vanish.

[PA Democrat]

74. I can think of few places where Palin is disliked as much as she is here

and I've NEVER seen any posts even with the slightest suggestion of violence against her. She LOVES to play the victim. Why would anyone here give her just cause to play the role she loves best?

[gkhouston]

172. Yeah, but over in this thread...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x195127

the most common penalty DUers are suggesting is obscurity. For her, that is a death threat.

[Brother Buzz]

75. So, there should be a solid verifiable record of her reporting said threats....

to the proper public authorities, no?

[verges]

76. I would be inclined to give

more creeedence to this if it had come from an official law enforcement agency. If she has been threatened, it should have been reported to the authorities.

[JJW]

77. She has proven to be quite the liar

She has proven to be quite the liar. So unless she can document these supposed threats, I think she lies.

[Judi Lynn]

164. Right-wing reactionaries are the violent critters.Infantile, socially perverted.Lying. for sure. n/t

[wickerwoman]

80. "We're expecting one any day..."

:puke:

[earcandle]

81. Just drop out already.

[Ian David]

82. Threatening the woman is not cool. I'd understand, though, if you hit her with a pie. n/t

[Ian David]

84. I bet these "death threats" are just photos of her with a surveyor's mark on her head. n/t

[RowdyRacer]

85. How many is "unprecedented"??

If she had 2 in the past, the 4 would be unprecedented, right?

Is wishing she would have a debilitating stroke bad???

[AnnieBW]

86. Why doesn't she shoot back?

I mean, she's such a great shot and all that. I mean, it only took her seven tries to hit that caribou!

:grr:

[Doctor_J]

88. Bullshit

The All Bush Channel is working for Palin. Again.

[Kennah]

89. It is NOT a death threat ...

... to observe that Sarah Palin is brain dead.

Ain't the same ballpark, ain't the same league, ain't even the same sport.

[Dappleganger]

90. If I tell someone to go to hell...

is that a death threat? ;)

[cbdo2007]

91. Those aren't threats, they're giraffes.

[zazen]

92. if they were credible, she'd have them arrested ASAP, for the publicity

That alone tells me they haven't had any credible threats.

[2Design]

93. I call bs

[old mark]

94. Oh, those evil godless liberals threatening Our Next President!!!

If you didn't think she was full of shit before, you certainly know it now.


mark

[nradisic]

99. Karma is a bitch...

yup...

[mwb970]

101. Sorry, I don't buy it.

I'd have to hear this from a reputable source, not "an aide close to Sarah Palin", who can be assumed to be lying for her (remember the surveyor's marks?). The truly dangerous people are all in the congregation that worships her.

[Slit Skirt]

103. I believe they are lies

we must be as angry as her crazy rw followers right? we must be just as violent as the right correct?

[blackspade]

105. Bullshit.

Let's see them.
The fact that they are talking to 'security professionals' instead of law enforcment tells me that this story is a bunch of crap.

[frylock]

106. sure they are..

who would believe these lying-ass mutherlickers? i'll wait till the FBI weighs in on this.

[Blacksheep214]

109. Hey Palin, Those aren't death threats

they are invites to the memorial service in Tuscon.

A little paranoid are we?

[unkachuck]

110. "...death threats and security threats have increased to an unprecedented level..."

....oh dear, my oh my....

[jmowreader]

112. What did she get, two?

My guess is Ms. Palin is being threatened by teabaggers who are upset Sarah Palin's actions have highlighted the extremism inherent in their so-called grassroots movement.

[bullwinkle428]

115. More people on her case than ever before, and she suddenly screams "DEATH THREATS!!!1!1!"?

I can smell the bullshit from Iowa.

[Politicub]

116. She is becoming unhinged

What a narcissist. "Look at me!"

We're witnessing Palin's descent into total madness.

[glinda]

119. You might be right. Does appear that way doesn't it?

[wordpix]

130. look what we have to look forward to when she runs for prez

:rofl: My bet is she'll go "Black Swan" under the pressure.

[glinda]

144. funny

[lonestarnot]

120. Is she gona dream up some shit so we have to pay for security for her?

I hope there is no provision for that payment anywhere.

[hyphenate]

121. Who's going to pay the bill for security?

If it's coming out of her own pockets, great. If it's coming, somehow, out of the taxpayers' taxes, I cry foul.

More threats, eh? I don't think we should kill her--that would be despicable. I think the best possible treatment for Sarah is to dress her up to look like an elk, or moose, or other such animal, gag her, tie her hands up, and drop her off in the woods during hunting season. That, to me, is the perfect scenario to deal with her. If she survives, we can throw her a bone, and tell her we'll nominate her for the Ambassadorship to Antarctica.

122. Oh fucking spare me....

the perpetual victim.

[Iggo]

123. She should alert the authorities instead of the media. (n/t)

[No Elephants]

154. First thing authorities say? Do not speak publicly about having received threats. Ever hear Obama

mention all the threats against him?

124. Bullshit detector spiked on this one n/t

126. Classic behavior of a naughty 8 year old who's been caught misbehaving

First she came out with a long-winded, defensive, 'Oh woe to me' video. Now she's parading the fake line of 'it's happening to me too!!' Waaaaaaaaaah!

Foot stomping is next.

129. She should be talking to mental health professionals.

Would fall down on their knees and worship the ground Palin walks on and she knows it!

This BS meme was cooked up by the rethug party or some fascist lackey of Palins like Limpballs or Glennie Beck.

Hows that cross-hairs, RELOAD thingie workin out for ya Mrs Grifter???

Another bullshit detector destroyed.

137. What a wimp. Why doesn't she take those giant guns she totes on TV

and take care of it herself? I mean, she kept those Russians she was watching all those years in control!




As if I would believe anything she or her minions say.

[cartach]

138. At least she's getting warnings

which is more than those in Arizona got.

[southerncrone]

142. Prove it. Show us the threats.

Anyone can SAY anything. No doubt Sarah would press charges if that were REALLY the case.
Call her hand.

[Javaman]

145. failin quitter now has her face and name in the media 24/7.

mission accomplished.

146. Gee! Why would Republicans theaten Palin?

Republican "moderates" wouldn't do it. It must be the totally insane right wingnuts, because Palin hasn't gone far enough?!

152. Me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,

I call bullshit on this...didn't stop the Media Horse from trying to paint a sympathetic portrait this morning on GMA, they even went as far as to drag out Alan Douchewits saying 'blood libel' wasn't offensive to him...

I believe the media has just stopped trying to hide their bias anymore...

[defendandprotect]

159. Just more .... "Look everyone, I'm the actual victim!!" .....

165. Get back to us when a politician draws a gunsite on her district

[Roland99]

167. And I'm from a distant planet and I'm made of solid 24k gold.

puh-leeze.


The only threat to The Twit is that she's losing some income from not getting her "reality" show renewed.

[Hansel]

169. So she puts out a video to acerbate the situation?

She just can't stand not being the center of attention. A true narcissist.

I'm sure she has gotten some nasty emails. Whether they rise to the level of a credible threat is another matter indeed. After all to those on the extreme right, someone on the left calling someone out for their violent rhetoric equals someone on the right threatening second amendment remedies or putting gun sight graphics on public officials and telling people to lock and load.

[Veronica.Franco]

170. Not believable ...

They're trying to whip up sympathy and divert away from the ASS she's made of herself recently ... won't work ... no sell ....

[sofa king]

173. We don't want her to die. We want her to RUN FOR PRESIDENT!

The Republicans found someone so frighteningly ignorant and self-absorbed that she is unelectable under any circumstances.

So it dismays me to see her doing what she does so well, so early. Fortunately, our opponents have a habit of forgiving themselves for virtually any flaw, so she has time to claw her way back to worst-possible-candidate status, over heir apparent Newt Gingrich.

174. Aide: Uptick in Death Threats Against Palin

Source: CBS News

An aide to Sarah Palin tells CBS News that there has been an increase in death threats against the former Alaska governor in the wake of the shootings in Tucson.


The aide did not provide details concerning the volume of threats, how much have they increased or whether they are being referred to the authorities.


A different Palin aide, Rebecca Mansour, told USA Today that the increase in threats since Saturday has been "incredible."


"There has been an incredible increase in death threats against Gov. Palin since the tragedy in Arizona, since she's been accused of having the blood of those victims on her hands," she said. "When you start to accuse people of having the blood of innocent people on their hands, it incites violence."

Did I hear them right? "When you start to accuse people of having the blood of innocent people on their hands, it incites violence."

Isn't that the whole point that Palin is trying to ignore? That her words do not incite violence?

With every unbelievable statement she is burying herself deeper and deeper in non-credible statements. If there are death threats, turn them over to the authorities not Fox News...

[proud2BlibKansan]

175. Sarah Me Too Palin

She just has to play the victim, doesn't she?

[somone]

176. Oh well

[Siwsan]

177. Holy Cow! I called this one, this morning

I told people that, within the week, there will be reports of threats against her. The real tip off was Beck's call to her, warning her to consider protection for her and her family. How else can she keep the attention on herself, in what she sees as a 'positive' way????

[emulatorloo]

178. Whenever my life is threatened, my first thought is to call CBS

If they are getting death tweets, they should report them to the FBI.

[eleny]

179. I'll believe this when I see the verification

[bluestateguy]

180. And it's true because her spokesman said so too

nt

[ladywnch]

186. EXACTLY!!!! no official reports filed, just her staff saying it.

How long before you think we see a staged 'attempt' on Sarah's life?....or at least a vocal rowdy attendee who will be 'subdued before he could do any harm'.

[Kali]

181. bullshit

[GoddessOfGuinness]

182. If it's true, I'm very sorry to hear that.

...if it's true.

[Happyhippychick]

183. Sarah would tell you that words don't mean anything so why be concerned?

[HankyDubs]

193. These people aren't actually threatening her life

They're talking about their votes!

:crazy:

[TheEuclideanOne]

194. Funny, on that topic, what about all of that talk on Reverend Wright

According to the right, just attending a sermon of his would affect you for life. But now, all of a sudden, words don't matter. Standard hypocricy, eh?

[rosesaylavee]

184. K and R

even tho its buried in unrecs...

I too would like to see if these were forwarded to the FBI. If she is receiving them, I hope she stays safe. If this is a political ploy, well, I hope she gets what she deserves from the media. Has she shown these threats to anyone? Is there any documentation?

[Atticus]

185. Let me guess: these "death threats" consist entirely of anonymous tweets and emails so

that ANYONE could be responsible for them.

Yup, that's "equivalent" all right!

By the way, can Ms. Mansour account for all her activities during the period in which these "threats" were received?

[Webster Green]

187. Mansour doesn't get irony, I guess.

"When you start to accuse people of having the blood of innocent people on their hands, it incites violence."

Wow! WTF?!

[NOLALady]

188. Probably from her own Party.

I have no doubt that they are ready for her to just go away. They are aware that she is making things harder for them. They could be trying to frighten her so that she will stay out of the spotlight.

[EFerrari]

191. If they exist at all. n/t

[AsahinaKimi]

189. Maybe its just me but ..

It seems hard to believe liberals and progressives would send "Death Theats" to her. Maybe Rightwingers prefer to play that game, so they can point the fingers and say.."See? Both Sides do it!". For all we know these death threats come from Right Wingers themselves just to ramp up the Hate speech.

[ncteechur]

190. BULLSHIT... BULLSHIT... BULLSHIT... BULLSHIT... BULLSHIT....

[HankyDubs]

192. Poor Sarah

:nopity:

[SoapBox]

195. Oh Boo-Hoo...She stirs and stirs and stirs the pot for violence and then...

cries the blues.

What a worthless piece of $hit she is.

...St. Palin the Pious, the Ultimate Poster Child of Hate and Anger.

[Devil_Fish]

197. She has obviously mistaken "Political Rhetoric" for actual threats.

There not bull's eyes, they are map surveyor's markings.

Just shut up Sarah. No one cares any more.

[slackmaster]

199. Despite her general lack of credibility I would not be even slightly surprised if this claim is true

She's allegedly been the target of violent threats in the past.

[slackmaster]

209. Do you think it was OK for Sandra Bernhard to say what she did?

I don't.

[defendandprotect]

202. I'd believe Palin and her group about as quickly as I'd believe Limbaugh and Beck -- !!

[Turborama]

207. CNN' s Jack Cafferty described this as an "extremely dark result of the shootings"

So, CNN have bought it hook line and sinker, then.

[dkofos]

210. She deserves what she gets.

[we can do it]

214. BS
