CONCORD, N.H. — A Democratic candidate for the New Hampshire House has apologized for posting a death wish for Sarah Palin on Facebook.

Keith Halloran of Rindge made the comment in response to a Republican lawmaker’s post Tuesday about the plane crash that killed former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens. When the lawmaker expressed disappointment that some news accounts of Stevens’ death focused on negative aspects of his career, Halloran responded: "Just wish Sarah and Levy were on board," an apparent reference to Palin and her daughter’s ex-boyfriend, Levi Johnston.

After the leaders of both political parties denounced his comment, Halloran posted an apology on his Facebook page, saying he wishes the best for Palin, Johnston and their families.

These Liberals are TOTALITARIANS and are very dangerous

You're much too kind with your words. These people are Narcissistic, Marxist commie LOCUSTS that left Russia because all the money they took is gone and came to the USA to steal the money and power...

>>Halloran issued the following response Wednesday to News 9, stating, “I have no interest in stirring up this tempest in a tea party tea pot who will do anything to cause more harm to our country. This is nothing out of nothing.”

But Thursday morning, Halloran posted an apology to his Facebook page.

“For those of my neighbors who know me and know my true nature, I wish to offer an apology for my post on my Republican friend’s DJ Bettencourt’s Facebook page, and want to reassure everyone that I wish the best for Sarah, Levi and their family,” he wrote.

I’ll look for it. Zep did some really good covers of old blues songs and that was one of them.

[who knows what evil?]

He’s sorry he got caught...he was pressured into apologizing.

[Ancient Drive]

man.. the internet is like a double edge sword. lol

[End Times Sentinel]

The funny thing (not really) is that he’ll probably win his election. Dignity, is not a democrat value.

[ConservativeStatement]

More evidence that Dems are open-minded, tolerant and DIEverse. /sarc.

[who knows what evil?]

It appears that this jack*ss is from Massachusetts...Rindge is just north of the Mass-NH line...another democrat that doesn’t like paying taxes...

[hattend]

He’s still an asshat.

[DustyMoment]

Words once said, can never be recalled.

Words posted on an Internet site will come back to haunt you again, and again, and again . . . . . . . .

[azishot]

So he apologized....how do we know he really meant it?

[Clyde5445]

Yes he is.

It was nice to the NH GOP had Sarah’s back on this.

Candidate apologizes for Sarah Palin death wish post on Facebook

Perhaps if he claims he has a sex addiction and goes to "rehab" for 15 - 20 minutes or so. We forgive THOSE people!!

[albie]

And so the “apology” is accepted and there’s nothing more to see or hear I suppose. “Off with his head” would be the cry if the tables were turned! Career would be over, his home picketed and vandalized, tires of car slashed, his wife and kids taunted at school and the grocery store. We really have to vote these people out and KEEP them out of public office!

[raccoonradio]

And I guess he does hold some kind of office, Planning Board

As far as some New Hampshire Democrats are concerned, there was only one thing wrong with the plane crash that killed former Senator Ted Stevens in Alaska:

Sarah Palin wasn’t on board:

---

In a Facebook post, [Keith]Halloran, who describes himself as “an active local citizen and supporter of NH Governor John Lynch,” said of the plane crash, “Just wish Sarah and Levy were on board.”

Halloran serves on the Rindge, NH Planning Board and is a Democratic candidate for State Representative in Cheshire County. He is a prominent supporter of Democratic frontrunner Ann McLane Kuster, who is running for Congress in NH-02. His comment appeared in response to a post by another Facebook user on the tragedy.

New Hampshire Republicans were not pleased with Halloran’s remarks.

“Mr. Halloran’s outrageous comments are a new low, even by the standards of the New Hampshire Democrat Party,” said New Hampshire GOP spokesman Ryan Williams. “His publicly stated death wish for Governor Palin and her family is abhorrent, and has no place in public discourse. Governor Lynch and Ann McLane Kuster need to immediately denounce Mr. Halloran’s hateful remarks and demand that he personally apologize to the Palin family.”

Halloran isn’t alone among New Hampshire Democratic leaders in wishing ill toward the controversial former Republican Vice Presidential nominee.

Natch Greyes, a staffer for Democratic Rep. and Senate hopeful Paul Hodes tweeted the following on July 21st: “I have to wonder if & or when @sarahpalinusa will learn the meaning of our state motto: “live free or die.”

You stay classy, Dems.

[who knows what evil?]

Keith Halloran

Metrosexual Extraordinaire. Check out his platform below. Typical Democrat hogwash. High on touchy-feely and far, far short on specifics. He may as well just say that he likes rainbows, evenings alone with a good book and cats.

1) Tax Relief, Restraint & Fairness

New Hampshire has long been a tax-relief haven for thousands of familes who sought refuge in New Hampshire. But in 2008, Property Taxes in NH are reaching historic limits, with heartbreaking record mortgage and tax foreclosures, and New Hampshire families need relief. We need to carefully examine our current tax policies and explore responsible options for the future, and resist and move beyond paralyzing pledges.

Current taxes challenge working families, the retired, and our youngest citizens. New Hampshire is a prosperous and prudent state - let's use New Hampshire's REAL advantages and carefully prioritize our investments and obligations, and share fairly, in how we provide for our citizens and families, and pay for our state and local services.

2) Healthy & Secure Kids & Families

New Hampshire Kids are New Hampshire's future. And Healthy Kids & Families mean a healthy future for New Hampshire. Kids need families who stay together, who can KEEP their homes and HEAT their homes, and get the quality of health care, education, mentoring and guidance they need as the foundation for a healthy and productive future. New Hampshire has a lot to work with when it comes to NH Kids & Families. Lets invest in the future of our New Hampshire Kids and Families, and our own.

3) NH Jobs & Smart Growth

New Hampshire has a vibrant, renewable, sustainable economy, but one that also faces real evolving challenges. New Hampshire is one of the original 13 colonies, dedicated to independence and free determination. We can be proactive to create conditions and incentives that attract and protect local industries, that leverage our competitive advantages, our local talent and innate resourcefulness. I am a pro-business, pro-jobs MBA who will work hard to encourage and reward any New Hampshire initiative that invests and builds New Hampshire jobs and industries.

4) Affordable Renewable Energy

New Hampshire faces unprecedented pressures this winter, and the winters ahead, as home heating oil and natural gas prices shatter all previous levels, forcing families to choose between heating and eating, fuel and food. But New Hampshire has local resources and industries that offer a local solution - affordable, renewable energy. I am a fierce advocate of the local companies and technologies that offer real opportunities for local businesses and jobs, and real relief for working families in New Hampshire.
