Biden calls Palin's criticism 'mildly dangerous'

[morteduzionism]

Story

In Florida on Monday, Palin's remarks about Obama and Ayers elicited waves of booing from supporters. One person at a rally shouted "Kill him!" according to a Washington Post report. A sheriff who introduced Palin at a rally referred to the Democratic candidate as "Barack Hussein Obama."

I saw another clip of one of her speeches and someone in the crowd called Obama a "terrorist"...

What are they [McCain camp] trying to do, get the man shot?

This is...disturbing.

If Obama was shot, I wonder if a case could be made that McCain/Palin incited people to do it?

Speaking the truth is never illegal, except on TWC.

Politicians having a healthy sense of their own mortality is a good thing.

Obama is a terrorist? What nonsense....
Therefore you would justify his murder? Good game....

No one is calling Obama a terrorist, certainly a couple of his friends are though.

Oh course I don't support poltical violence, I do however like the idea that our politicians should be fearful for their lives when considering policy.

You implied so in your post...and people you work with are not exactly 'friends' or as someone put it 'buddies'.

So you love Stalinism...interesting...

I implyed no such thing. I challenge you to go back and find where I even hint that Obama is himself a terrorist.

It was an offical Obama sokesman (I beleive his campaign director) that called his relationship with the terrorist Bill Ayers "friendly." So it is his word and characterization, not mine.

So you love Stalinism...interesting...

Hardly, Stalin killed anyone he thought was a threat, of course I don't want that.
With an armed population, I like the notion that pols would be very careful and eager to build wide concensus before making radical changes, least someone cap their ass.

fixed. So if people that do bad things are criminals forever, why don't we just kill everyone when they're convicted. Oh, right. Because we believe that people can put their past behind them. Palin's husband was a secessionist. Should he be called a traitor? No, he's not trying to secede right now.

Nah -- you meant FOX News -- and do you think it's the truth that someone should kill Obama?

I guess we should take comfort in that fact that we don't need to kill Palin -- the GOP Elite seem to be doing that already

and McCain, well, he's been killing himself for close to a month now.

Rubbish. A republic does not have to be a democracy, a republic is simply a non-monarchist form of state.

yeah but not when said Republic is constantly spurting out more juice than a cow with three vaginas about how much of a DEMOCRACY said REPUBLIC is and why other countries hate said REPUBLIC is because it is a DEMOCRACY -- that is -- the whole "we're actually a republic" snottiness that conservatives fall back on when they crap all over democratic ideals, doesn't stop them from simultaneously claiming democracy whenever is suits them -- it's hypocrisy, if not just plain tacky.

Ok, dude. I just explained what a republic is, not why America is the greatest democracy on earth. Because its not.

But I don't like the way neo-cons are equated with conservatives, and its the neo-cons, who are going on about the whole Freedom & Democracy (tm) BS.

That's not just a "neo-con" thing -- the U.S. refers to itself as democracy far more than a "republic" -- ye olden republic excuse only comes out in defense of behavior that is un-democratic.

The neo-cons hijack traditional conservatism and the traditional conservatives stayed on the plane and served drinks. There's no way to disentangle the two now. It would be like trying to have nationalist party in Germany without reminding people of the Nazis.

The conservatives in the U.S. need a brand new party.

Bush should die.

big, I gotta ask, you truly believe he is a muslim terrorist in disguise? got any linkable readings we should be reading?

No, but his association with a terrorist is indeed loathesome.

[DisgruntledGoat]

No, but his association with a terrorist is indeed loathesome.

The fact that you think there is an association at all is loathsome. Know the facts not the spin.

Ayers gave Obambam $100 million dollars to reform ruin Chicago edumacation. Obama launch his political career in Ayers' living room.

[Mikelus Trento]

loathsome? hmmmm

What the Republicans are trying to do is tie something Ayers was as a young man, while Obama was but a child......to who Ayers is now and who Obama is now.

They are trying to make the leap that because Ayers WAS a "terrorist" (or wannbe), many years ago, that Obama IS a terrorist now.

Again, Obama made it pretty clear last night what his position was on terrorists and terroristic nations last night. Did you listen?

I'm pretty sure you did, and to continue to endorse this garbage is what I would term as "loathsome".

Get real please. My hunch is you are too smart to really believe that BS.

[Osceola]

Yeah, but most people, especially from the dems, are way too ing stupid to know people are referring to his association with Ayers, a subdivision of those said idiots are way too ing stupid to know he is associated with Ayers, and another slice on the "way too ing stupid" pie chart is way too ing stupid to know who Ayers is.

So taking that into consideration, it's best to leave terrorist out of any Obama criticisms, as it does make you look stupid, to the way-too-ing-stupids.

[HunterKYA]

I say it's the Republicans who are too ing stupid, because if they had any sensible meaning, they wouldn't be going around and blatantly calling the opposing party's candidate a terrorist and thinking of him as such by any known associates he may have had from his past or by his name. His name... for goodness sake, what are we... in pre-school? And you know the gun-toting NRA nuts are taking all this nonsense seriously. In the past, even if you don't like the opposing party's candidate or what he stood for, they had at least some kind of respect for them; but with the McCain/Palin camp, they've thrown respect to the wolves and are making any and all attacks on Obama, without any respect to his character whatsoever.

Plus, it's kind knowing just how blindly Republicans are following their party these days.

Barack Hussein Obama
