Dem lawmaker takes exception with Palin 'reload' comment
By Jordan Fabian - 03/24/10 03:14 PM ET


Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) doesn't appreciate a remark made by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) that used gun imagery.

Palin tweeted Tuesday about the passage of the healthcare reform bill into law:

Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: "Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!" Pls see my Facebook page.


The New York Democrat responded Wednesday, ripping the comment:

Reload? @SarahPalinUSA Is your choice of words inciteful or ignorant?


Palin's "reload" comment came at a time when several Democratic lawmakers who voted for the healthcare bill have received personal threats to their personal safety. Palin has not condoned the incidents.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) have denounced the threats to members of Congress.

2. more investigative reporting needs to be done
on her and Todd's ties to the secessionist movement. It'll make for some rich advertising when she runs for president. what's the definition of domestic terrorism again, because if Earth First! are terrorists, who only want to save our beautiful land from destruction, secessionists, who want to make war on Americans, surely qualify.

4. I am waiting for the day that her attorney sits
her down and explains in no uncertain terms the phrase she used that warranted charges of sedition. Her attorney would be well served to explain to her that the next conversation she has will be with the DoJ.
-never-ever-has anyone placed themselves so above the law as Sarah Palin-except of course Dick Cheney.
