NEW YORK In a lenghty account of a Sarah Palin rally in Scranton, Pa. today, the local paper, the Times-Tribune, relates that at 1:25 p.m. just before she arrived, a candidate for Congress stepped on stage: "Chris Hackett addressed the increasingly feisty crowd as they await the arrival of Gov. Palin.

"Each time the Republican candidate for the seat in the 10th Congressional District mentioned Barack Obama the crowd booed loudly.

"One man screamed "kill him!'"

[subterfuge]

I looked at the rest of the story:

The report continued: "Supporters have been noted shouting 'kill him,' 'terrorist,' 'off with his head' and other equally incendiary terms about Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. Others have directly suggested Mr. Obama is a Muslim, which he is not, or a traitor.

Funny, this "news" outlet believes Obamie is not a muslim, but it doesn't give it's opinion on whether he is a traitor or not. Now I don't know what to think! /sarc

I`m beginning to think these people are actually liberals trying to stir things up.

Yeah, you would hope so.... but there are plenty of loons out who would say that, and who would claim to be on our side. My suspicion is that this idiot was one of them.

[Little Ray]

Once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times in enemy action...

[ChocChipCookie]

If these were legit, the Secret Service would be all over the person in question. That’s their job.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

The proof is if the SS pulled the person in for questioning.

They didn't, total BS!

[goodnesswins]

I want the person INTERVIEWED...and their background checked....STAT!!!!!!!

[DemonDeac]

Probably a liberal plant.

[Loyolas Mattman]

Someone needs to make a new version of the old Sam Wyche bit from NFL Films:

“If anyone hears anyone saying that Senator Obama should be killed, point them out... You're not a bunch of liberals, you're Republicans!”

(The “you don't live in Cleveland, you live in Cincinnati” rant...)

[Arizona Carolyn]

exactly

[lmc12]

ACORN stuff all the time with this mob. Community organizer BS,criminal conspiracy.

[gidget7]

From what I have heard on radio from folks who were there, and closeby, the first man who yelled it, was referring to Ayers, NOT the O. That spun by the media, invited liberals to enter rallies and create more instances. And the woman who said “he's an Arab”, in addition to being not very bright, Bless her heart, was also a plant.

Another Cry of 'Kill him!' at Palin Rally

If anyone is at a rally and hears one of these freaks, immediately corner him and call over the cops. That is a threat and shouldn't be tolerated. More importantly, I want some of these freaks names posted. I will bet you a big donation to FR that the freaks calling this out are Obama plants.

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

Maybe a verbal disclaimer is in order: “We are NOT responsible for screams of ‘KILL HIM’, etc...not is it condoned.”

If Palin heard she I'm sure she would stop her speech and say that "this is not the way Americans conduct themselves" and have the Secret Service escort the person away.

[papasmurf]

You’re “just beginning” to suspect it?

I think the folks in the crowd should apprehend this person or persons, and let the authorities have him to investigate.

In fact, I think it behoove Gov. Palin to ask for that. I’d bet my entire retirement account that those remarks would stop immediately.

[mapmaker77]

Did anyone who was there actually hear this or is it more dim msm BS. I would not be surprised if he just made it up because he hates Lee Greenwood.
Or just can’t stand to be a proud American.

[popdonnelly]

If it comes from Editor & Publisher, I don’t believe it.

[svcw]

Ok, if this happened before Palin arrived how is it she is inciting to hate. Besides I think they are dem plants.

[Lancey Howard]

I`m beginning to think these people are actually liberals trying to stir things up.

Yep.

[rintense]

They are.

[gidget7]

Wow, that's pretty scary. Scarily real! That is what ACORN, and the O’s Annonberg Project in Chicago schools is all about!
