From now until the election, I think we should not post items about...
these inflammatory comments that are being made on the RW campaign trail about "Kill him" and "Get him" etc.

I, for one, am nervous about this election and we're getting into the final phase. The less said, the less idiots that can be stirred up to do something.

I cringe everytime the MSM mentions Palin's inciting at rallies. Mentioning is one thing, but they keep repeating that awful "Kill him" over and over again. They should put those people down for their actions and move on.

A few arrests would quiet things down real quicklike.

Am I alone in my thinking?

1. I tend to agree. And I think the media attention these
idiots are getting only encourages other idiots...

2. There are more than enough...
you either spread the disease of fear, or spread the solution of hope.

3. I don't agree. I think we should call out and denounce hatred & fearmongering
Yes, it could boil over. But history shows that you should never cringe before a bully. Not McCarthy, not the Klan, and certainly not their pale shadows that have hijacked the McCain campaign.

4. I'm not cringing, I'm seething... However, there is that one nut case out there...
who needs that extra push. Now, we have those who are hungry, broken and beaten down who will do whatever they can to get attention.

I'm sorry. I am just so apprehensive...the sight of those words frighten me, I guess.
