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

Really?

Firstly, we all should thank the 'wise' decision of the McCain campaign juggernaut for the priceless expose' of the level of degeneracy the Republican party had slipped into by the appointment of Palin to such post of immense prominence - deputy presidential candidate.
Secondly, every American should seek that knowledge that releases they from the harrowing grip of the status-quo that latches on to the doctrine that the creed of an individual should preclude them from being messianic in nature. Maybe then there will exist a viable opposition for the electorate to choose from.

Thankfully we have nothing to fear from this woman. She sank McCain's campaign in a few short months. Just think of the ammo she'll stockpile for her adversaries over the next 4 years.

GIve me a break. The reason the death threats increased is because it became clearer that he could win and therefore they felt the need to react.

I can tell you from being out in public in high per centage black gatherings the general discussion increased about the possibility of Obama getting murdered if he was elected increased even when I was at the lab getting blood work drawn which the lobby had about 30 people in it discussing that possiblity. None of them had been to a recent Palin rally but were responding to the ideal that he might win and they didn't want to get their hopes up.

Future presidential candidate. Are you kidding me?

Strike him down and he will become more powerful than you can ever imagine.

Extremism is extremism no matter what religion it comes from. This shows that white supremacists (who often cite the Christian bible as their basis of belief) are not much different from jihadists. Hate=Hate no matter who it is directed towards. What is really scary is how the skinheads, and the klan probably surged in recruitment during this campaign.

she's like the female version of bush, if you are not against it then you are for it. she deff was a gift to obama's campaign. obama is two stops forward, and palin was two steps back.

And...I have lived in Alaska, its very misogynistic, she's full of shit. She made it to power because she hooked up with a crazy church. Most of the people I met in AK who had moved there from other places were running away from something, bars and churches and drugs (they are often one and the same) are extremely popular there.

There is more rape per capita in Anchorage than any other city in the US.

There is no equity there.

The expoiters like Sarah and Todd go there to drill for wealth, kill animals and step on the people who belong there.

The people who are first nations, and other ethnic groups who have long lived there for the love of the land and the north get trampled by people like Palin and her church.

She is full of shit. Wacko Christian extremist expoiter shit.

No, we should not let it go. There are peaceful activists who planned to support protesters during the RNC who are up on charges of conspiracy to incite riot. They face up to 7 years in jail. They were arrested before the RNC even opened.

Journalists were arrested and jailed, cameras were confiscated so that police could get away with crimes with no cameras rolling.

If we want to live in a country where only the poor go to jail, and ciminals with money and power never do, then we should "let it go".

It's not about the pathetic and insulting Palin, its about justice and democracy.

She was found guilty of abuse of power as AK governor while she was running for vice president. On the campaign trail she was INCITING VIOLENCE AGAINST ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. She did it repeatedly and observed the rabid results each time.

No, we should not let it go.

Speaking from a socioeconomic point of view… “I still have hope for this country (USA), I believe that one day; every corner (urban, suburban, boonies, etc.) of this country will be “Diverse” before the eyes of men.

…you can believe that or take it to the bank. May God “continue” to bless this country.

"Here in Alaska that double standard isn't applied because these guys know that Alaskan women are pretty tough, on a par with the men in terms of being outdoors, working hard," she said.

This is an interesting comment from the governor of a state which has one of the highest rape incidence in the country. This just proves what a bubble this pageant princess is living in.

Palin has no place in Washington and has brought even more despair and ignorance to the Republican Party. As a democrat I'm proud to defend my president, but I have respect for John McCain. Why he chose her for Vice still baffles me.

Presidential assassinations come from inside, not outside - just like 9/11.

palin' (in the sun) was an idiot willing to do or say anything to get elected for her selfish desire - just as mcLame was.

"Ignorance and stupidity" is the definition of EVIL. Now we have a face to place next to the definition.

WOW - Let's go ahead and blame the economy because she isn't wearing a good shade of eyeliner- SEXIST on the behalf of the secret service to even use Palin as a scapegoat... Maybe the secret service should of done a better " security " job????

Even if Obama didn't win - most likely we would of still had death threats. For most race groups such as the White Supremacists, any reason they will use to their advantage.

I am not a Republician but c'mon - Sarah Palin isn't the evil witch the media makes her out to be. She is a woman who is dominating a man's world. Of course men don't like the fact but hey - it's a free country and even though she didn't win - She earned my respect for even running for the V.P. spot - not alot of people can say they ran for the vice president of the United States...

The thing about Palin is that she can dish it out but she can't take it. For all those people out there that fear Palin's possible election to President in 2012 let me tell you that she is not popular with all of her state either. She will do well to work on her support base if she even wants to be re-elected Governor in 2010. She also needs to more sure of what she says before she says it. With her it seemed to be "open mouth, change feet". Good luck Alaska. You will need it.

This is what it is like when the attack machine has turned on you. Now she is swallowing those personal attacks she launched at an decent man.

Since "palin" represents >64% of the republican world view she is definitely not the past she IS THE FUTURE....Like Hitler was Germany's future in 1938 and Stalin was Russia's future in 1928 and Mao (later his wacko wife) was China's future in 1946....

On Jim Jone's Temple wall at his Kool Aid party: "Those who cannot learn from the past are bound to repeat it". And of course David Koresh's marshmallow roast also turned out poorly.

Any country that empowers a manipulative, power hungry compensated sociopath has rather gloomy future.

Never under estimate a Beauty pageant contestant, a Kamakaze pilot, or a real Merican. All three are true believers.

I think she should be held liable. After all, if video games can be attributed to violence in children, can't the same logic apply to her?

She's just another wolf in sheep's clothing - very, very expensive clothing disguising another unscrupulous politician.

In a strange sort of way, I have a lot of sympathy for Governor Palin. I disagree with her on just about everything, but she is being blamed for so many things that she was totally clueless about.

I mean look at her, she thinks Alaskans aren't sexist because they spend time outdoors. She isn't racist, she's just totally oblivious to the outside world.

shes complaining about poeple taking words out of context and being jerks to her but wat about her words towards out president elect? she is a whack job

To associate Sarah Palin and her beliefs and George Bush and his policies with all Republicans is a terrible connection. Everyone understands why McCain picked her (trying to steal female democratic voters) But to say "ALL" Republicans agree with McCain, Palin or Bush for that matter is like saying all Germans hate Jews!!! That is outrageous and blasphemous. Get a grip folks. I voted for McCain because Obama's policies are terrible in my opinion, don't get me wrong I am glad an African American was elected but I am upset it was a man with his policies. "Spreading the wealth" is anti American and giving people tax cuts and bailing out companies to the tune of 700 billion dollars and paying for healthcare for everyone defys basic mathematics. You may think Healthcare is a basic right, maybe so, I don't deny that, but who pays for that. I don't want to pay for other peoples healthcare, I have trouble affording it for myself and my family. Not to mention where the decisions on your care would be made. A doctor and myself should decide what is best for me not a bureaucrat in Washington. The cost is the problem but a government program is not the answer.

This forum is absolutely hilarious. When you read about the investigation the secret service actually conducted (as opposed to the UK rag's sensationalized version) they found no basis in fact for just about all of this. No one said "kill him" etc. That's the secret service's report. This "article" is fantasy land, which for media these days is about right.

Now, I didn't vote for Barak, but I'm keeping an open mind about him. I already support him fully as our president-elect, 100%, and proudly. He has not done a whole lot, but I do believe he is intelligent and capable. I wish him all the best. With that, the level of hate and intolerance on this forum from people whose politics is all about tolerance is sadly, but not surprisingly, revealing.

Go home and don't show your face in the lower 48 anymore.

I'd like to know how labeling Obama as a terrorist would have allowed them to govern effectively?

Bravo Obama for always taking the high-road.

Through out the whole campaign was anybody else expecting her to announce at some point, "All your base are belong to us!"....?

In my town inciting a riot or mob is a crime. Palin is no better than the things she despises.

I would add our darling military/industrial/media complex as a willing & active co-conspirator ;)

…remember, information is power and maybe, just maybe, it could be easier to manipulate a nation of village idiots than one of well-informed & educated citizens ?

"A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press will produce in time a people as base as itself" - Joseph Pulitzer

Maybe you shouldn't make stupid remarks and comments. Maybe you should you take up some American History Sarah Palin. Amazing a future possible Preisdent and she is a dumb blonde, just what we need for America.

Unfortunately it seems to me that Palin does not know how to conduct herslef peoperly in public as there seem to be so many instances of her getting it wrong.

Aditionally it seems that she just doesn't have a grasp on many national let alone worldly matters.Lets hope if she makes it to this point again on four years time she'll be much wiser and much more reasonable.

People keep saying "Lets move forward", "This is not news".

Politician don't have the privacy right that a normal citizen has, like many people have said they should be held at a higher standard. They vie for power and money, promise things they rarely give the people who have worked for them and voted for them.

Like a few have said already, forgiven she is, forgotten it is not yet. She was already being investigated for Troopergate, that alone should have exempted her from VP pick. However the McCain camp wanted to show the people that John was the one that was caring and that Obama was not because he did not have Hilary on the ticket.

It was just proven that he has failed.

The truth is that there are many evils at work all at the same time....Keep in check first, the evil ones right here at home in America. Some of them say that they are the "true" Americans, yet since their arrival have done more to enslave the people who are indigenous to this land. And stopped at nothing going after the indigenous people of Africa and Asia to enslave them to work here in America. We are at a crossroads, a global crossroads. The smart ones have stopped at pointing fingers. We all know the stories through and through. Every culture has a story of how one group tried to dominate another with disastous effects. If everyone stopped for a moment and look into their own history, everyone can easily find a story that tells of the good vs evil. We never really end hate unless we forget to love and grant FORGIVENESS.
The hatred was always there, simmering in some cases. In other cases, boiling over. We have to take responsibility for all of our actions. You must take a stand in your everyday life. Examine your own conscience. Be honest about what is truly there and why. You have to do the work yourself and clean out your own closets. Some folks have more work to do than others, because they have spent a lifetime in limbo. Maybe you are married to someone who makes racist jokes all the time. No, he may never go out an burn down a church or synagogue, or send white powder through the mail. But you tolerate his "humor" all the same. You never stop him. Just like you never stop others who are dear to you. You never let them know outright that you find their behavior ridiculous. Many of people are there in limbo with themselves. The fact that she and John McCain agreed to take the low road for election is a sad day in American History. If these two individuals so love this country, then why would they resort to trickery and lies? Quite probably, because they were hoping that Americans really would prefer a "White" president who had no original ideas, no inspiration for the future. And by adding on the hatemongering to help put them over the top in the elections. Not to mention the ballot tampering, lost registrations,,etc.....The republican party thought wrong!!! Great for America!!!,,,however much work has to be done to correct alllllllllll the mistakes of the fools that were running this country & its businesses to straight to hell......

The bottom line is, that people, especially those who should have a high level of integrity, have to know that they must and will always be held accountable for what they say and what they do in the public domain. Therefore, we must never forget that the individuals who chose to disregard this precept will be made to answer for their actions and the infractions, thus, will not easily be forgotten. Otherwise, we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over, by allowing the abuse of and the betrayal of the public trust to continue unabated.

Palin's and McCain's attempted disparagement of their opponents, is a good example of the kind of backstabbing that many in politics turn a blind eye to. This sort of behavior only causes our country to slide backward in progress and makes us look bad in the eyes of the rest of the world...

For those on this and other such sites, I say run them through the ringer until we're sure that they and the public in general will never forget the abusiveness and negativity they project. That's just part of being in public office...and in the public eye...

Thank you, Vierotchka, for continuing to do your patriotic duty...

Still there is a poll that 64% of Republicans want her to run for President in 2012? That is a lot of people that agree with her hate speech.

The Republican Party, McCain, the local police and FBI are as guilty as Palin herself. They should of stopped her the first time she roused the crowd to scream Kill Him. There are laws to prevent inciting to riot that were ignored, their were governors and mayors and senators that ignored it. The list goes on. And should anything happen, she should be sitting along the person who did anything or attempts to do anything in court.

If the repugs want to clean up their image they should make sure Palin is not in the picture. the few repugs that spoke out against it should be praised.

Oh whoops. I didn't see that it was a linked piece to the Telegraph. So I level my criticism at them.

The title of this piece is misleading. The original NEWSWEEK article states that the U.S. Secret Service noticed an increase in death threats right around the time Palin started using the (also misleading) phrase "palling around with terrorists" to describe Obama. The NEWSWEEK author carefully chose words that do not directly imply blame or causation, but merely call attention to a serious and disturbing correlation of occurrences.

The choice of words is important. Let's try to keep Current.tv reality-centric. Reality is our strongest, and only, defense against those who choose to distort it. The moment we give up on reality is the moment we give in to shouting matches.

Palin can't be "blamed" for the death threats, but her turns of phrase did add fuel to the fires of angry people everywhere. It is difficult to argue against that claim, and thus it will be harder for her to shake.

I talk about Politics with US people I get to know in Europe and I have heard many of them quoting " He is a Muslim, he acts like a Terrorist, he is not even black, he is Arabic... I love Sarah Palin"

Clearly Palin could be part of any White Supremacist Group, or even her Husband... they look awfully like modern KKK members.

LOL, anyway, Palin will never emerge as anything... Or I will just tell you, she better not emerge as one.

...there is a large number of people in this country still filled with hatred...racism and other thoughts that have no basis in reality...the numbers shown in this election reflect that....and the amount of destruction they are capable of...always self-justified.....is enormous...this is a great start but much has to be done...and each and every one of you has a responsibility to open minds or at least try every day of your life...kindness is contagious...there are just so many that have never been exposed to it.....Golden Ruler...Will...

...Dear God....if you are not too busy would you please try to look into this situation and if it is like I suspect...do not allow Sarah Palin to become a Senator from Alaska...leave her there where the Russians can keep an eye on her....Washington needs a good cleaning...and having even more self-serving Senators is not a great place to start....keep in touch...Golden Ruler...Will......

Look, it is important to LEARN from the past- Palin is GONE from presidential politics and the lessons are many- Let's look forward so we can get past the lunacy of DIVISIVE political campaigning.

Palin's words CAUSING death threats is really not all that different than when US foreign policy has the "unintended consequence" of CREATING more terrorists.

These situations stem from a profound lack of EMPATHY and very low level thinking on both sides. May this ERA of ignorance be coming to an end. We must do better!

For things to get better we OURSELVES need to try and elevate the standard even though Palin and so many others are unable to do so...

To all you who seem to despise us Bible-Thumping, Repuplicans...let me remind you of a little writing...it goes something like this...

Here is just one of its truths:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator......

(Declaration of Independence; July 4, 1776)

The founding members of of our country believed in God; and relied on Him for guidance -- not the mdeia which is just another flawed person's opinion filled with bias for one candidate or another.

For every argument the Dem's make that the race was dirty and reporting was unfair, the republican's can come up with equally as many errors. The problem of course if that Dem's watch (and read) media which leans toward their agenda and vice versa.

Maybe instead of complaining about all that is wrong; you should get up and out and try to make a change yourself. If not on the National level, how about the local one.

Four years is a long time away and you will have long forgotten about all this stuff -- that is if you are still alive to talk about it. Obama said it best: He can't do it without our help!

Someone told me recently that when the Dems lose they pull together, and when the Repubs lose, they eat each other alive.

Palin is a hot mess, but we have a new horizon that includes all of us to make America better. So screw her!

Sorry doithen, you appear to Still NOT really getting "IT"....if you want EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, it is NOT enough to be black or the fem gender....IT IS ABOUT BEING QUALIFIED and Palin was NOT QUALIFIED and ergo, A MAJOR INSULT to women who KNOW that there ARE QUALIFIED WOMEN and just a "smile/legs/boobs or vagina" is NOT good enough !!! Think that is a point that is getting "spun", the ridiculous snarks that she was rebuked via" sexismaticals "is nonsense but will also say, she did greater harm to women who ARE qualified and did cause some setbacks for there will be those that will claim her as living proof of just WHY women in general should be used only for decoration and NOT be truly consider "capable" and that some male guidance would be absolutely necessary ,blah, blah, blah !!! She has true chutzpah, too bad she has NOT the real qualifications...and even if her Alaskan record was delved into more thoroughly, it would be even more apparent. IF somehow the Mac & P team had slithered into a win and the offices they campaigned for..WHO do you REALLY think wold have been making her decisions and directives ? (and likely, as she did indeed expose that mavericky diva /opportunista personality, there are those in the GOP ranks that duly noted and KNEW she would be trouble , more trouble than any really wanted as they have an agenda they DO want and her drama could be a hinderence in the larger scheme of all things for she is not inclined to "keep" to her "place" preferring to set her own pace with aspirations of her OWN for her OWN benefit, not theirs !!!
BTW, it is far better to REVIEW, sure..it is in the "past", but there are lessons to learn and if ignorred, well alot of same mistakes can be repeated...The GOP insiders know this too. Learn history's lessons, it can serve you well as you move to the future, in the search for real progress aimed at the real greater common good of ALL.

Time to look forward, people. Look, I don't like Palin, but I don't want to destroy Palin. I want to move beyond her. Let her stew in her own stupidity in obscurity. Let us move on. Our country need us more than her or the hate-mongers.

maybe she thought he was Russian

I don't think Palin is even intelligent enough to see the ramifications of her actions. This is true of their whole campaign also. Once they began constantly criticizing the media for wanting to know something about Palin (because she was unknown) they began a war of words with the one device that gets you elected, the media. Then their campaign based on hate crumbled around them.

While agree that movin' on is the order of the day, I don't think it's ok to just simply "forget" how divisively and nastily the Republican campaign was conducted. Don't think that simply because the campaign is over and Obama (and we) were victorious, that those who were so inflamed and incited are just "OK" now. The hatred spewed by McCain/Palin wasn't of their creation - it exists! They simply tried to capitalize on it. It hasn't gone away - it's still out there, alive and well, and now more riled up than ever. They, and especially She, took full advantage of the bigotry and fear out there - this must not be forgotten or forgiven. It was an insult to us all. Remembering, with a determination to keep moving forward, with a determination to be part of the change, keeps us focused and united.

Palin is an idiot, but it is a stretch to put the entire blame for any increase in hate or assassination attempts on her. The same stuff was happening at McCain rallies.

I blame Palin, McCain, and Fox news. Mostly Fox news. If you recall, the murder of the Arkansas state dem chairman, and the murder of the 4 liberal valued church goers, were both comitted by out of work right wingers. Both incidents occurred prior to Palin's selection.

McCain did not pick her. By his own admission, he did not even talk to her until two days before her candidacy was announced. The Republican Party picked her. He had very, very little to do with his own election.

The Republican Party knew they were going to lose the election. They needed someone to hold together the core Republican vote. All of her speeches, all of her accusations, all of her debate answers and behavior was aimed directly at the Republican core, period. She even said aloud, on national TV during a debate, I will not answer the questions you ask, I will talk directly to Joe Sixpack. She winked, she glibbed, she courted the most ignorant of people in her folksy, down home way, just as she was hired to do.

Her ONLY purpose was, and still is, to hold the core together so they have something to build upon in 2012. It was a brilliant move in the face of a landslide, actually, mostly because it worked.

64% of Republicans think she was a scapegoat and is Presidential material. 75% of them want her to run in 2012. She did her job. She inflamed the core radical racist, gun-toting, bible thumping, ant-gay, anti-abortion, ignorant Republican core. And they vote!

Listen to what they are saying at www.redstate.com... this was a brilliant move and the only move they had considering they lost this election long before it even started.

The real problem is Palin herself, agreed. She believes her press. She believes she has a mandate, and she is golden. They picked a woman of pure, unadulterated ego for a good reason... she will stand there and believe the very filth that comes out of her mouth... a perfect Republican.

If you think she will go away, you are crazy. She was a calculated move. She is not as much human as much as she is a machine. She has lived her life a beautiful woman, in front of a camera her entire life, in a state full of redneck, horny, lonely, macho mindless men, and few women. Her ego is a product of her upbringing. Her chosen profession is geared towards stroking that enflamed ego. She has no conscious. She will run, and she will lose, but if you think she has done damage now, wait for 2012.

The Republican Party started two unjust wars, raped the constitution, stole a serious amount of our liberites, made a few hundred men billionares at the expense of the world economy... do you think they honestly care about Obamas life? Seriously?

This topic is under "scapegoating" which is where it belongs.It is not NEWS or ELECTION 2008. That is so OVER.

yeah yeah, blah blah, she is unqualified, ignorant, uneducated, and a bitch... We all know this, can we let it go now...

palin is turning into the zeitgeist of republican willed ignorance and groundless pomposity.

Why is it that so many people allow themselves to be so easily influenced by the media. You put your faith in this reporting without any hesitation. If more people took time out to study all the issues, instead of playing follow the leader out of ignorance, we would have easily seen a different outcome in this election. And yet, here you are, taking trash as gospel...once again.

People it is called KARMA!

If you throw SHIT into the wind, why are you then surprised that it blows back in your face?

McCain and Palin lost the election because they focused on useless and silly arguments instead of the real issues that day-to-day people face.

Their whole campaign was a mis-information campaign and they did not tell anyone what their issues were about and what they stood for. They were too busy cutting down the other candidate.

Apart from that, they underestimated the average voter. What is that popular saying, "Its the ECONOMY, Stupid!"

It is the ECONOMY that cost John McCain/Sarah Palin the election.

MizPiz :That is because you are easily brainwashed. You are letting others think for you. I am not saying I was a fan of hers but come on. People are reaching here and V. simply cannot let go of the negativity stories. You would think he lived in the USA but does not. Must have some kind of "agenda" since submissions are so high and so negative. I am sure there are problems where he lives he could focus on?
doithengiaorg ....good comments and threads

thanks for reminding us of just a few of the issues that need attention that really do matter. I think we can all feel safe that the MONSTER Palin is back home tending to her special needs child and her responsibilites as Governor . Shows how people in America and esp. UK just focus on "mean".

Palin did stop (barely) just short of calling Obama an outright terrorist. Remember when being a terrorist meant you had actually killed people? Ah well, what's that sort of detail to an ambitious moron?

Palin is the absolute worst example of the worst America has to offer. So glad she got spanked in the election (and in Nailin' Paylin' I daresay!)

As for Palin's tone UNINTENTIONALLY activating violent racist dopes? I don't think there was any UN-intention about it. It was calculated to throw off his momentum. Your 15 minutes of fame are up, Sarah, and 15 were spent showing the world what an asshole you are.

I would actually take eight more years of Bush than four of Palin

bubidu: If I didn't know any better, I would think picking Palin by the McCain campaign was a deliberate move to then bring her down so she would never be viable to run for office again. It seems any woman even remotely comtemplating or seen to be thinking of contemplating a run for president in the United States (unless she has the right "connections") will have a harder time now than a black man. Looks like that glass ceiling will simply remain cracked and not broken. And for anyone reading this who thinks I like her policies, you are wrong. I am simply basing my opinion on the abject hate spewed by some towards her constantly here and on other venues in typical hypocritical fashion. To say it is not sexist in some form on the part of some is in my view a lie. Let's see how many women Obama puts in his cabinet. And yes, we have a new president, the one everyone here wanted, and this is what constitutes frontpage number one news? Where's the change?

I am totally behind the comments of barbara3d and bubidu, that's the point.

Time to move on people and tackle issues that are more worthwhile then trying to connect a vice president candidate to assassination plots (how ridiculous to even say that out loud).

What I find utterly fascinating is that topics of Women and Children Rights Abuse is not a main story on current.

for those who are interested in real issues please read the following stories and let's make a real difference in the world without politicial sniping:

Let's see if we are about real change or just giving it lip service!

You cannot disregard McCain in all of this, he DID choose Palin as a running mate...though his aides would have us believe she is a rogue, and she IS, shouldn't they have found out this info BEFORE naming her as his choice for running mate? Let's face it, he had the ability to discover everything about this woman before hand and did...do his aides think ALL Americans are stupid and would not figure it all out? Good riddance to bad trash and hopefully we will unite again in the future and NOT elect this woman to any offices!

For the Love of God...MOVE ON PEOPLE!!! Why is it V. wants to keep bring up @$%#!

Cant we stop all the inbred, infighting and focus on the future?

Some people are not happy unless they are spreading hate, fear, and paranoia....even when it is long past.

Stop living in yesterday and look forward to tomorrow...there is a lot of work to be done and this person must have no life because he/she just keeps bringing up childish, uniformed information that has no life anymore. ITS OVER>>>> worry about CURRENT news now, not PAST news.

I'm not a fan of Sarah Palin. But you can't blame her if some white supremacist took her words to the extreme and issued death threats.
Also, I think it's unfair and sexist that the McCain campaign is blaming her for the failure of their campaign. They picked her in the first place and tried to make her something she's not. She might be a very ambitious person but they're the ones who tried to groom her and use her as a campaign tactic.

Just put her up in front of a firing squad and get it over with already. I don't like her politics, but this does seem like a concerted effort to place blame on the one person more easy to discredit. Obama claims he will work with McCain however, and no one seems to find anything out of place about that. Why isn't he getting any flack for this?
