Palin's Other Arizona 'Targets'

by Shushannah Walshe Info

Like Gabrielle Giffords, Harry Mitchell and Ann Kirkpatrick were under siege during the health-care debate and appeared on Sarah Palin's "crosshairs" map. They tell Shushannah Walshe about death threats—and the need to cancel town-hall events.

• Sarah Palin responded to critics today in an email to Glenn Beck, saying, “I hate violence. I hate war. Our children will not have peace if politicos just capitalize on this to succeed in portraying anyone as inciting terror and violence."

For Arizona Congressman Harry Mitchell, the threats were verbal, conveyed in messages left at his office. "I cannot tell you how much I wish a panty bomber would come in and just fucking blow your place up," one hissed. Another promised to "disembowel him with a rusty pitchfork."

For his colleague in the Arizona delegation, Ann Kirkpatrick, besides emails calling her a "whore," the threats got physical: A sewer cap was thrown through her office window. "Everybody in the back of their minds, everybody feared this, everybody put this into their calculations," says Kirkpatrick's former chief of staff, Michael Frias, "but nobody thought it would happen."

3. Sarah Palin is a LIAR

"Sarah Palin responded to critics today in an email to Glenn Beck, saying, “I hate violence. I hate war. Our children will not have peace if politicos just capitalize on this to succeed in portraying anyone as inciting terror and violence.""

7. Based on what?

>It doesnt really matter now but the Az shooter was not a typical right winger.<

Why don't you explain your assertion?

RW'ers think all "problems" are solved at the point of a gun, don't they?

[EFerrari]

9. Actually, he is typical of the right wingers that commit this kind of crime.

This report was posted in GD. It's his profile down to the ground:

10. He is EXACTLY the type that causes damage when spoonfed a diatribe of BS. n/t

[6000eliot]

12. He was crazy!

The violent rhetoric he heard incited him to violence. It doesn't matter what his politics are. The RW in this country has created a climate i which people think this kind of thing is possible. It's not that difficult to understand.

11. Palin to Beck;"Glen let's post an open emails today and we can sucker em back

[No Elephants]

13. No one believes you, Sarah. We're "armed and dangerous" and will "reload."

And, when we lose with ballots, we will use bullets and our Second Amendment remedies.

Yeah, none of that language from you and your fellow mama grizzlies promotes the violence you claim to hate, now does it? Neither do crosshairs over Congressional districts.

To paraphrase another image from your stupid mouth, woman up and put on your truthful big girl pants, Sarah.
