Sarah Palin blamed by the US Secret Service over death threats against Barack Obama

It’s times like this that make me wonder why we need so many bureaucrats.

If these people were busy and working on important tasks, they wouldn’t have so much time available to cavort with the press.

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?"

OH GAG! I could hear Michelle's whining victim-y tone as I read that! The media is really out to destroy Sarah Palin and will stop at nothing. Are we really surprised? What about the attacks from the Obama camp against her and her children? Where was the media's outrage then? No where. They helped by spreading the evil gossip and still continue to demonize Palin and portray the Obamas as victims. I feel angry and sick!!!

I saw the same dumb article days ago. This is not breaking news. It is not front page news. It is barely news at all — just self-serving speculation by left-wing ideologues (which commits the well-known fallacy of assuming that merely because event B supposedly followed event A, A necessarily caused B). It isn’t Sarah Palin’s fault that her statement that Obama palled around with terrorists is both true and a legitimate campaign issue.

Can we please remove this piece of garbage from front page news. TIA.

These Secret Service people are crazy for saying there’s a correlation.

Correlation does not signify causation. Just because the Sun came up today, when I knew I was going to have an absolutely great day, does not mean the Sun came up ONLY because I was to have a great day.

British POS press. Every time I read them it is worse.

Totally disgraceful.

Sad but true: They reflect the cowardice and moral decay widespread now in a once proud and brave people.

Irate John McCain aides, who blame Mrs Palin for losing the election, claim Mrs Palin took it upon herself to question Mr Obama's patriotism, before the line of attack had been cleared by Mr McCain.

There are no such aides. Here again is the MSM using Obama sources for all material. If Palin had truly "gone rogue" she would have mentioned "God Damn America" in every speech.

"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. "

yellow journalism at it's finest, this patchwork quilt of woven words, spins a fine web of hyperbolic headline

[victim soul]

How could the Secret Service care about what Palin said when Obama’s past associations are the problem?

Will William Ayers and his wife get SS clearance to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom?

[victim soul]

How come the Secret Service didn’t blame the media and commentators who were just doing their jobs for these threats?
