Fox: Palin "Targeted in Violence-Tinged Tweets Following AZ Massacre"


Palin Targeted in Violence-Tinged Tweets Following Arizona Massacre

Published January 13, 2011 | FoxNews.com

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/13/palin-targeted-tweets-following-arizona-shooting-massacre/

Critics of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin have turned to Twitter to post hate "tweets" suggesting that "she should be shot" and "assassinated."

A four-minute video montage of the the "tweets" -- most apparently sent after Saturday's massacre in Arizona that left six people dead and 14 wounded, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords -- was posted to YouTube on Tuesday.

"My hatred for Sarah Palin continues to grow... I think this woman should be assassinated. Sorry about chya," was a message posted by "jenbobbi."

Another user, "misskate83," posted: "Sarah Palin should be shot for her encouragement of fanaticism against Democrats."

2. The equivalence between the political messages of the VP candidate of a major party
and random anonymous tweets is obvious.

4. Yet when this very woman uses such language, they don't see a problem with it.
Unbelievable.

And, for the record, neither Palin or those who tweet against her are the victors in this sad state of affairs.

7. This is particularly important because, as we all know, NO
Democrats or liberals of any kind have ever had any death threats from conservatives, twweeted or otherwise.

9. IMO, it doesn't help to have people take the low road against the thugs.
Not that taking the high road has gotten us very far, either.

I wonder how many of these threatening "tweets" were posted by teabaggers as a trojan horse of sorts?

10. Reading the article, one already has admitted that she is a
Reagan republican.

12. Go to Yahoo, open a news story, scroll to the bottom for 'comments'
There you will find all TYPES of hateful, violent rhetoric heavily weighted on the RW side of things..........

... average humans.. NOT in the limelight of political discourse....

15. Were those sent TO sarah or gathered from around twitter conversations?
I'm not twitter literate (twiterate?) but those look like conversations ABOUT sarah not threats sent TO her. I was surprised at the number of people hoping she'd shoot/kill herself or get a disease. Of course there was a cheney 'get shot in the face' reference in there.

17. Right wingers trying to tar the left
I wouldn't believe Sarah if she told me it was daytime. All those tweets undoubtedly came from her supporters trying to deflect her repulsive behavior.
