2. I have to see the footage and do some research and thinking before I can be sure.

3. It was really stupid, but the republicans have done worse.
Willie Horton
Swiftboating
and way back when, the Nixon campaigns.

4. At the risk of kicking this thread so it can get more replies, no it's not...
She used an unfortunate choice of words to make an incredibly stupid point and is about to get bombarded with negative press for it. This is only going to hurt her chances of getting on the ticket if that is indeed her goal.

"Unfortunate" wtf?
You just don't say shit like that off the cuff.

Honestly, I think she should get brought in by the Secret Service for questioning or something.

5. It's bad but not even close to the worst. When GH Bush met with
the Iranians that took the hostages to keep them LONGER so Ronnie would win the election was THE WORST!

7. Ignorance vs. hate: intent behind an action is most important
so I voted no. Her statement screams of ignorance and is of bad taste, but it doesn't appear that she was actively advocating for the assassination of Barack Obama. The Republicans prey upon the ignorance of voters by intentionally using hateful messages.

10. No, but I think I'm right to hold Democrats to a higher standard of decency.

11. No, the swiftboaters were worse
Lying about a war record will always be the lowest. Hanging around in case your opponent gets shot is pretty close though.

12. Of course that poll is sort of i the category of:
What was worse, The sinking of the Lusitania or the sinking of the Titanic?
