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

The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of "palling around with terrorists", citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers.

The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling "terrorist" and "kill him" until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.

But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.

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.

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?"

The revelations, contained in a Newsweek history of the campaign, are likely to further damage Mrs Palin's credentials as a future presidential candidate. She is already a frontrunner, with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, to take on Mr Obama in four years time.

Details of the spike in threats to Mr Obama come as a report last week by security and intelligence analysts Stratfor, warned that he is a high risk target for racist gunmen. It concluded: "Two plots to assassinate Obama were broken up during the campaign season, and several more remain under investigation. We would expect federal authorities to uncover many more plots to attack the president that have been hatched by white supremacist ideologues."

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.

Just another reason to loathe this vile woman.

Can you imagine the kind of introspection there will be if anything happens to him?

Introspection by whom?

McCain/Palin supporters, at least the ones who aren't sick enough to cheer such a thing should it ever actually happen.

I personally wonder if Palin herself is realistic or intelligent enough to recognize that her words very likely did cause this spike in death threats. I tend to think that even if she does, she'll never acknowledge it.

I'm just thankful that so much negative news is coming out about her, and I hope it continues. Anything legitimate that can happen or be said to make a future run for the White House by her impossible is totally welcome in my opinion.

Right, denial. No way, never. I'd never believe it.

Certainly not her. Nothing is ever her fault. Ever. It is all them.
