I cannot believe the ignorance of hyperbole.

Anyone in the battleground states come November better run fer the hills!!

Before making such ridiculous assumptions, read context to understand Palin’s statement.

Second that. Obama will win 44 states and sweep in huge Dem majorities.

Sarah Palin has really cemented herself as being on the fringe of society. I hope she gets the Republican nomination in ‘12 so she can be soundly trounced by the moderate American public.

Avarosis reports that 10 members have received sufficient threats to get security. CBS has the audio of threatening voicemails to Stupak. Even as despicable as their complete acceptance of the violence of their followers is, you'd think these GOPers would ask these fools to stop on just plain cost grounds. All of this new security costs money and THEY are paying for it.

The republican party is in its death throws. They know it, and so they want to take the country down with them. I hope all incidents of violence and real threats of violence are prosecuted as terrorism, because that is exactly what it is.

There is a remedy for the wingnut’s pain. Win at the ballot box. (I crack myself up.)

*sigh* Everybody now needs perimeter video cameras around their home. They aren’t that expensive anymore.

The Tea Party people published Periello’s brother’s address and then his gas line got cut. I’m sure it’s just a lone wolf and has nothing to do with the teabaggers.

It's very scary, V. Now it's also very real.

Law enforcement authorities are investigating the discovery of a cut propane gas line at the Virginia home of Rep. Tom Perriello’s (D-Va.) brother, whose address was targeted by tea party activists angry at the congressman’s vote for the health care bill. An aide to the congressman confirmed to POLITICO that a line to a propane tank behind his brother's home near Charlottesville had been sliced. The FBI would not disclose the details of the incident, but said that they have been to the home.

re: Rep. Thomas Perriello. How scary is that? That these people are too sloppy to even be effective intimidating goons.

Rhetoric or not, I call it advocating terrorism.

Palin’s is rhetoric, nothing more. However, I think that a prosecutor would have a strong case against Vanderboegh, though, particularly if he took “credit” afterward.

I am not sure that it is a specific threat… I mean, how could one consider a gun sight to be a threat. I mean, don’t we all use gun symbols for people that we disagree with?

I’m thinking of making my gravitar a picture of Rush Limbaugh with a target between his eyes. It would be funny, right? I’ll start writing that we have to shut Rush up by any means possible. Then I’ll suggest that Rush’s house in West Palm, while gated, is still within the accuracy range of most easily acquired firearms when fired from the street.

That wouldn’t be threatening in the least.

Gee, I don’t know, A1. Maybe it’s not a threat… maybe it’s more of a call to arms.
