When does Sarah Palin go to prison for inciting violence against Dem politicians?

[spanone]

1. i would hope, any moment.

[Greenpeach]

2. Pleeeeeze! n/t

[Bitwit1234]

3. They are saying she just means to concentrate and take those

representatives seats back. Yeah and hell has frozen over.

[DailyGrind51]

4. When the Justice Department has the courage to arrest her.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

12. They are smart enough to wait for her to actually commit a crime.

[DailyGrind51]

27. "Yelling 'Fire!' in a crowded theater!" is not a 1st Amendment right.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

28. and if she had done that she would be culpable.

[Bitwit1234]

5. PS someone already took her up on Perriello...didnt' they

[indepat]

6. Sarah will be going to prison on the 7th of never

:-)

[Hekate]

7. Doesn't she get all sparkly eyed and wiggly when she incites violence? Whatta woman!

She's such a fashionista I'm SURE she could make "prison orange" look real good!

8. Maybe? Never?

I'm watching the delay between ANY message of prosecution for those who - well. Let's put it this way. Until someone high up puts a bullet in a Dem, Progressive, or Liberal brain? Nothing. And even then? I'm not certain.


It seems like only people on the left get punished and chastised.

[Raschel]

9. And she said on twitter, "don't retreat, reload".

[Tanuki]

10. Since she is involving herself in the internal politics of several coal-producing states,

I wonder when she is going to propose that the coal companies give all the residents of WV, PA, TN, VA, CO, etc., the type of annual payments that she and her fellow Alaskans receive from the oil companies! How about it, Sarah?

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

11. If that's your evidence of incitement, never.

[BlueStater]

14. What do you think it is? And what's up with crosshairs? n/t

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

16. Don't know but it doesn't meet the standard for incitement.

At least not by itself.

[Kingofalldems]

18. I think you know damn well what she means

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

20. Regardless of what she means it doesn't rise to the level necessary for prosecution.

[BlueStater]

21. Obviously, I don't really think she'll be arrested.

But do I believe she should? Hell yeah.

Palin, Beck, etc. are going into dangerous territory beyond that of simply free speech. Using gun innuendo on a bunch of deranged, hate-filled lunatics when discussing Democratic politicans is just asking for trouble.

When do we put a stop to this? Does somebody actually have to die first?

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

23. Arresting her would be a violation of her civil rights her actions are covered by the 1st Amendment.

[jen52683]

26. Speech which directly instigates violence or causes harm is not protected.

She continues to toe the line on that. In addition, she and her tea party are knocking on the door of domestic terrorism. The Department of Defense Dictionary of Military Terms defines terrorism as: the calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

29. So you would agree that this doesn't cross the line set in Brandenburg v. Ohio?

[jen52683]

33. I think the bigger issue is domestic terrorism, as her actions fit the definition...

...in both the Patriot Act: (i) to intimidate or coerce a
civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a
government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the
conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or
kidnapping, AND the Department of Defense Dictionary of
Military Terms: the calculated use of unlawful violence or
threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to
coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the
pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or
ideological.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

34. Clearly if it doesn't rise to the standard in Brandenburg for incitement, it wouldn't for terrorism.

[robinblue]

25. I agree.

[JBoy]

13. It's still up on her facebook page. Apparently she has no problem with it.

[BlueStater]

15. Of course she has no problem with it. She's an insane idiot. n/t

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

17. Maybe when she actually incites some violence. n/t

[BlueStater]

19. Given the unstable lunatics she's talking to...

...I fear that's all too possible. :(

[EFerrari]

22. That's freeper porn and imho, she's too stupid not to cross the line

sooner or later.

[gravity]

24. We still have to follow the laws

Unless there is direct evidence that can be used in a court of law, then there is nothing they can do about it.

Palin uses lots of code words that allow plausible deniability, so unless she says something really dumb, even for herself, she won't get arrested.

[onenote]

31. politicians talk about "targeting" opponents all the time. As distasteful as her poster is

it remains well within the realm of protected speech

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

30. Instead of prison, how about a high-paying TV gig?

Sarah is doomed to make millions for being Sarah.

Life is strange.

:hi:

[saltpoint]

32. Ideally, it would be a prison run by wolves.

[hack89]

35. When she actually breaks the law? nt

[Blue Owl]

36. She can only understand things in simple hunting and gathering terms

n/t
