Sarah Palin blamed by the US Secret Service over death threats against Barack Obama

quote:
The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of "palling around with terrorists", citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers.

The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling "terrorist" and "kill him" until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.

But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.

The Secret Service warned the Obama family in mid October that they had seen a dramatic increase in the number of threats against the Democratic candidate, coinciding with Mrs Palin's attacks.


Unintentionally encouraged white supremacists? UNINTENTIONALLY?

She knew damn well what she was doing. I don't give a good goddamn what the Repub assholes say, Obama should have the Secret Service arrest her for incitement of threats against the US President and have her thrown in jail.

These kinds of people do not know any language except that of force, and Barack Obama has to show he knows when to speak it. Shutting up the white supremacist assholes as well as the broader segment of the US who avail themselves of such gems as "No black man in a white house" would be well worth the howling about trampling on civil rights.

Update.

Sarah Palin's words were in fact legally actionable even though Barack Obama was not yet President.
