Kill Him Allegation Unfounded
Oct 16, 2008 Political
There have been allegations that John McCain is stoking racism (what is new) and that the rhetoric of him and running mate Sarah Palin have incited hatred in their crowds. Recently it was reported that someone yelled “Kill Him” when Obama’s name was mentioned. I think that issue was in the debate and Obama made a big deal out of the fact that Palin did not say anything to the person who made the comment.
Perhaps that is because the comment was not made. The Secret Service agents who were there as well as an undisclosed number of other law enforcement people, say they never heard it. They have interviewed non law enforcement people who were there and none of them heard it either. Therefore, we have the accusation of ONE person which is refuted by a number of others.
The Secret Service has labeled this accusation unfounded but asks anyone who was there and heard such a thing to contact them. This might not have been a good move. My thought was that if “Kill Him” was shouted it was shouted by a liberal plant in order to help stoke the racism claims made by the left. By asking for people to call them, the Secret Service might just get a ton of calls from moonbats who will claim to have been there and to have heard it.
I will go with the Secret Service on this one. They are trained to listen for this kind of stuff and to take threats seriously. They were there and say that they never heard it so as far as I am concerned, it never happened.
So Senator Obama, there is your answer. Sarah Palin did not say anything because there was no reason to do so.

OK to Kill Bush, Not Obama or Clinton Though
Jun 4, 2008 Political
Some time ago a movie came out that depicted President Bush being assassinated. There was some disgust expressed but the movie was allowed to play as liberals had orgasms at the very thought of it coming to fruition. That was all well and good and the poloice and Secret Service did not get involved. If they had, liberals would have been crying about freedom of speech.
Now, a man has been detained in New York because he put up an art exhibit depicting the assassination of Hillary Clinton and the assassination of Barack Obama. The art exhibit dealt with the artist’s perceived character assassination of these candidates by the media.
The police called the Secret Service and the man, Yazmany Arboleda, was whisked away for interrogation. The police and the SS were worried that his art might incite a nut to do something criminal. This man’s rights were violated.
It is perectly OK to depict Jesus in urine or animal dung on the Virgin Mary and it is even OK to make a fil showing President Bush being assassinated but God forbid someone mention the word assassinate (look how they reacted to Hillary’s comment) when referring to the two Democrats. This man was not allowed to display his art and for what reason?
I think these kinds of displays are quite stupid but I also believe that this artist had every right to put it up and the SS and police should have left him alone.
They certainly left the movie producers alone.
