In reply to the discussion: Bristol Palin Receives Death Wishes Over Obama Blog Post [View all]RZM
(8,556 posts)56. Wow. This shit again?
I was actually talking about Bristol anyway.
But I would still argue that Sarah is not particularly relevant. Her plans to be a kingmaker don't seemed to have worked out for her. She's not totally irrelevant, but she's not the player many predicted she would become. At least I don't think she is. I see little evidence that she has much influence on political discourse. She's one voice out of many.
As you know, there's never been the slightest connection established between Loughner and this map. Nor is using the language of war in politics at all unusual. You see it on DU everyday. But keep on repeating this nonsense if you like.

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.
