In reply to the discussion: Bristol Palin Receives Death Wishes Over Obama Blog Post [View all]nolabear
(43,847 posts)13. Good God, people. Do you really feel okay about what you're saying?
I don't care if the girl wrote the thing or not, or if her parents are horrid or she's a Kardassian wannabe. Death threats are horrible, disgusting assaults on a person and they're frankly as harmful to the perpetrators and those others who read them as to the target. The Palins are pros at publicity. They will use it even as they might feel uneasy. But ragers cause harm all the way around and there are lines whose crossing creates all kinds of unseen damage.
On DU and elsewhere.

Apparently "we" do, going by most of the other responses. Stay classy, DU; ugh. (nt)

Lots of talentless reality show stars like Bristol and Snooki get death threats.
