I'm starting to feel legitimately frightened by the mob mentality that McCain and Palin are coaxing out of their base. This Washington Post article focuses on some truly disturbing recent events, some of which have already been discussed here, and others that were completely new to me, like this:

Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."

And the shouts of "terrorist", "treason", "kill him", and whatever else has been shouted out at McCain and Palin events have actually started to be investigated by the Secret Service.

Isn't inciting violence illegal?

I need coffee.

Is that a polite way of telling me to shut up?

Drinking a Vanilla Nut Roast myself and I do mean just a type of coffee.

You think the Republicans will care about a little thing like the law to prevent terrorists from killing us all?

I'm still kind of expecting the verdict on "Troopergate" to be pushed, but as of now, they're still saying it'll be done tomorrow. The NY Times has an interesting article with new details about it all here:

...an examination of the case, based on interviews with Mr. Monegan and several top aides, indicates that, to a far greater degree than was previously known, the governor, her husband and her administration pressed the commissioner and his staff to get Mr. Wooten off the force, though without directly ordering it.

In all, the commissioner and his aides were contacted about Mr. Wooten three dozen times over 19 months by the governor, her husband and seven administration officials, interviews and documents show.

and

Immediately after Mr. Monegan’s firing, Ms. Palin said her intent was to change the department’s direction. (She declined to be interviewed for this article.) She has since offered a variety of explanations for his ouster, most recently accusing him of insubordination and opposing her fiscal reforms.

and

Mr. Palin declined to be interviewed. But in a sworn affidavit this week for the legislative investigation, he wrote that he had hundreds of communications about the trooper “with my family, with friends, with colleagues and with just about everyone I could, including government officials.” He added, “In fact, I talked about Wooten so much over the years that my wife told me to stop talking about it with her.”

God I hope they find her guilty of abusing her authority.....

The troopergate investigative report is being delivered as I write this:

The bipartisan Legislative Council went into executive session to discuss the report from former Anchorage Prosecutor Stephen Branchflower. A portion of the report is scheduled to be made public after the executive session, said Sen. Kim Elton, the Legislative Council's chairman.



Although, according to the McCain campaign, everything's fine!

Palin pre-empts state report, clears self in probe

By MATT APUZZO – 16 hours ago

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Trying to head off a potentially embarrassing state ethics report on GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, campaign officials released their own report Thursday that clears her of any wrongdoing.


Are these people for real?

Haha, I just love the way the depth of your antipathy came across there.

I'm the same, mind. I want to see her led away in handcuffs, with McCain sobbing in the background.

Malicious aren't we?!

Super new(ish) songs about Palin





Brilliant.
