Sarah Palin was introduced by a white Sheriff in his on duty uniform, whipping up the crowd.
Sarah came to the mic and began her incendiary speech, rousing the crowd into such a frenetic and fanatic mob mentality of hatred that at one point, in one of her slanderous references to Obama, a member in the crowd yelled out, "Kill him!" I saw it live; I saw it replayed on Rachel Maddow on MSNBC TV. I saw Sarah Palin, candidate for VP of the USA, in a crazed, derranged, manic state, screaming and blatantly stirring up hatred. They were both, McCain and Palin, high on something besides hatred yesterday. Or, perhaps, they were off of something. But, I will not let it stand.
I have written to the House Minority Leader, my 2 Republican US Senators, the 2 US House Reps, the DNC, and the FBI. I do not think it is legal to use contributions to a federal campaign in a national election to incite crowds to such hatred that they are calling "Kill him!" for the opponent.
Will this be the lasting legacy of this right wing, conservative, evangelical, christian Republican Party---the death of a political opponent---resulting from Pre Nazi like rallies???
