Thanks a lot WeHo. Now look what you did.

Copycat effigy hangings. Sounds like a screenplay. I'd better call my agent......

I guess the stupids can be contagious as well. Better get my inoculation.

So someone hung an effigy after someone else (at a Palin rally) said "kill him." Shocking....really....honest....no kidding.

The problem with wingnut is not that they don't think very deeply. It's much simpler than that. They don't think; they react.

...after someone else (at a Palin rally) said "kill him."


BingosDingo: Please stop spreading this falsehood.

The Secret Service has already discredited these baseless "kill him" stories as hearsay.

Enough already.

At second 34. "Treason" at second 42. Treason is one of the few constitutionally mandated crimes with a death sentence.

You are the one spreading flasehoods. Typical Republican spin-mongering.

well, if its on youtube - it must be true.

> well, if its on youtube - it must be true.

Didn't watch it did you?

Ha, I did - I just dont get what your point is.

Im thinking it has something to do with irrational responses?

Just doesn't come off very clear...

I see. So I'm supposed to believe what The Ugly says because he told me so and ignore what my eyes and ears tell me.

Makes perfect sense.

kentucky ...... sounds about right

Since you brought this up O'wise one why don't you post a link where the the secret service determined that the words were NOT "kill him."

I'd be interested to see that since I read five newspapers and about twice as many blogs daily and have not seen one mention that the words I heard were not what was spoken.

If you can't do that I'll just have to assume that you just like most Republicans I know...full of crap.

Link

Now I ask once again...would it be possible for you to stop spreading this unfounded rumor?
