GOP VP Candidate's Poisonous Rhetoric May Have Incited White Supremacists To Threaten Obama
"The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling "terrorist" and "kill him" until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.
"But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.
"The Secret Service warned the Obama family in mid October that they had seen a dramatic increase in the number of threats against the Democratic candidate, coinciding with Mrs Palin's attacks.
"Michelle Obama, the future First Lady, was so upset that she turned to her friend and campaign adviser Valerie Jarrett and said: "Why would they try to make people hate us?"
"The revelations, contained in a Newsweek history of the campaign, are likely to further damage Mrs Palin's credentials as a future presidential candidate. She is already a frontrunner, with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, to take on Mr Obama in four years time.
"Details of the spike in threats to Mr Obama come as a report last week by security and intelligence analysts Stratfor, warned that he is a high risk target for racist gunmen. It concluded: "Two plots to assassinate Obama were broken up during the campaign season, and several more remain under investigation. We would expect federal authorities to uncover many more plots to attack the president that have been hatched by white supremacist ideologues."
To claim that this scheming "ilying, ignoramus, bumpkin, scam artist and freeloader" is qualified to be a candidate for the presidency is to confirm that the GOP is an insane, deteriorating, destructive party continuing in the direction of its current corrupt, criminal titular head.
