Hate filled vitriol calling for Death of Sarah-bump
Posted on 12/18/2010 7:45:58 AM PST by kristinn
Liberal online political magazine Salon.com published a letter to the editor yesterday that called for the murder of 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
The letter was written in response to a mocking article at Salon titled, Good Morning America's painfully friendly interview with Sarah Palin by Alex Pareene.
Pareene snarkily sums up the GMA interview, "The interview was basically split into a couple of distinct sections: How awesome is your family, how bad is Barack Obama, how awful are people who criticize you, and how awesome is America?"
The first letter published in response to the article calls for Palin to be electrocuted by a cattle prod by convicted dog abuser Michael Vick, "Vick gets a pet to torture and we get rid of Palin. A win-win for everyone!"
That letter has apparently sat in the pole position under the article in the Letters to the Editor section since it was posted "Friday, December 17, 2010 12:33 PM ET."
The Letters section for the GMA article lists 65 letters published over four pages. Each letter has a "flag" button to call attention to Salon editors about objectionable comments. It seems no one at Salon finds it objectionable for the site to publish an explicit call for murder.
Salon's Editor in Chief, Joan Walsh, is a regular on MSNBC and CNN. Will Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough or Wolf Blitzer attack Walsh for prominently publishing a call for the murder of Sarah Palin? Will Walsh do the right thing and publicly apologize to Palin and pull the letter?

" I Have An Idea"
" Let's let Michael Vick keep Sarah Palin as a pet instead of a dog. It will be safer for dogs and maybe we'll get the satisfaction of having Vick electrocute Palin! You know that after listening to that voice for longer than 30-seconds Vick would be lunging for the cattle prods.
"Vick gets a pet to torture and we get rid of Palin. A win-win for everyone!"

Thanks kristinn.
This is par for the course for the lefties. Back when Reagan got shot and the news came that he would survive and recover, some uber-leftist people I knew at the co servatory threw a “Better Luck Next Time” party.
Some leftie celebrity wished Clarence Thomas’ wife would feed him a high-cholesteral diet so he would drop dead of a heart attack. The same fate was wished by liberals on Dick Cheney.
And a few years back some leftie-wacko “filmmaker” wasted celluloid on a movie about the assassination of President Bush.
-But this all gets a pass from liberals.
All of them
Sounds like the goof freepers, pisant, etc!
But I am also sick of the daily grind of the crap from the insane right that is not 100% behind what Palin stands for!
It's one thing to not want her as President, but not to defend her against the left and media if you are conservative is disgusting! Whether they like it or not she has a better chance than anyone else to be our nominee.
So what is the plan to get proactive and overcome her perceived negatives?
Flame on - the question stands.
They said the same about Reagan
Palin is quicker in getting her words out than any politician in the last 50 years, this is a sign she says what she believes!
Finally, someone who tells the Truth!
Some people seems to think a woman can’t run this country, that’s another reason why she needs to be the first woman President!
She would do a lot to hurt the men having sex with men lifestyle,
Normal would be back in again!
That’s probably the biggest reason that the anti Palin freepers keeping spurring out all the same negatives Reagan lived with, yes, our token liberal democrat Trolls and with their sick lifestyle)!
I do not believe ANY woman will win after 0 is done - not even Hillary. But that is a different discussion.
Nothing has changed, No one has been loved by the base like Reagan and Palin and media and Rinos hate both!
You are delusional if you think nothing has changed.
I still ask what is the plan to move Palin’s negatives more positive?
Or are you just going to tell your self right up to election day the pools are wrong and that is good?

Any other Republican COULD WIN Carter but not Reagan and the dems wanted Reagan because because of the polls!
Reagan finally went ahead in the polls 3 weeks before the election!
The fact is this whoever is Republican Nominee will win!
Carter had better poll numbers than Zero
Nothing quick.
