Palin's parents say they fear for her safety - We sleep with our guns
Edited on Mon Mar-07-11 12:09 PM by RamboLiberal
Sarah Palin's parents said they fear for the safety of their daughter and her family, and that they sleep with guns as a precaution, the BBC reports.

In a recent interview with BBC's "Newsnight," which explored the former Republican vice presidential nominee's prospective presidential bid for 2012, her parents Chuck and Sally Heath spoke about threats against the family.

"As a mother I do have concerns about her safety and that of the kids... she knows how I feel, that it's risky," Sally Heath told the network.

Citing a recent incident in which a man from Pennsylvania reportedly sent the family and others copies of the receipt of a gun he had purchased, as well as that of a one-way ticket to Anchorage, Chuck Heath said the family had legitimate safety concerns.

"We sleep with the guns," Palin's father told BBC's Jackie Long.

As I said in LBN thread.

I'm glad the FBI caught the nutcase. Your daughter ought to be more circumspect with her words with gun metaphors, "pals around with terrorists", "real Americans", not like us, & "targets".

Think of the fear the Obama familiy & many Democrats targetted by Sarah & her ilk live in everyday. Ask Gabby Giffords, Mark Kelly, their family & staff. They already have been wounded by the hatred Palin spews.

1. I think firearms...
...are an entirely disproportionate response to sarcasm and ridicule, don't you? Because those are the only things I've ever seen leveled at the woman.

2. I would bet they were sleeping with their guns prior to her notoriety
more about the guns than security

Promote violence and surprise... you live in fear.
Don't worry, the grifters have millions to comfort them.

And no one will ever mention her name again.

5. The world is full of ill thinking people, both the gunman and Sarah's parents
are some of them. The parents because they have polluted the planet with their spawn's bullshit and the gunman for thinking god was talking to him and that he had a right to use a weapon against anyone not threatening his life.

6. Gun "worshippers" tend to sleep with their guns nearby...
I'm not impressed....

The rest of us have more to fear from Palin, than she does from us (except for the biting effect of the truth being leveled against her).

7. Now they know what it's like to be an American in a post-Bush economy.
I bet a lot of Americans are living in fear. Fear of the banksters and their sheriff's who will kick them out of their homes. Fear that they will lose their jobs. Fear that Fraud Street will abscond with their retirement savings. Fear that some blow-hard governor will try to make a political name for himself by attacking their jobs.

Hey Palins: Bite the weennie (From the movie Grease.)

19. These mopes have
ALWAYS slept with their guns. The Palins are polished turds. The image of the Teabaggers they accurately represent.
Thank McCain you POS for bringing this bitch into my life. Go back to the Hanoi Hilton where you belong, take Palin with you for a bunky.

22. What a stupid culture we have, when parents of adults speak of them as children.
See: Bush Family.

23. Propaganda...
moron failin has been out of the spotlight for a few weeks now due to real news.

And because her total mental capacity fails to attain even the output of a 10 watt bulb, she's at a loss to comment on the current protests and revolts without sounding like a complete moron.

So what to do?

march out the parents to give a sympathy story regarding their half-witted spawn being threatened.

Like the saying goes, "if you can't get them with facts, dazzle them with bullshit".

since failin is bereft of facts, all she has is bullshit.

so insert quasi security issue, couple it with failin and you get a booster injection into the rabid base.

It hits all the high points. failin, guns, hating of liberals (even if the guy wasn't one, it won't matter), fear of everything living and dead and a possible shooting (death porn for the right).

I hate to be callus but the reality is: if you are famous, pseudo famous, famous in your own mind, etc, there will always be some nut job out there pissed off at you for one reason or another.

failin isn't special, all celebrities get death threats.

I trust nothing that comes out her camp grifters.

24. There was a song in the '50's
or early sixties called the "Bristol Stomp". Every time I saw her on DWTS I laughed.

25. Well, maybe they'll roll over in their sleep and
shoot themselves in the ass. (I'm not wishing them anything really bad, just a nasty flesh wound)
