Secret Service Ought to Be Investigating the McCain - Palin Campaign



This past week was a disturbing one in the McCain / Palin campaign for presidency. In the first time in American history a Presidential candidate should be investigated by the Secret Service for inciting mobs into threats of violence against a fellow candidate for the Presidency.

Earlier this week, amid questions by Sarah Palin about just who is this 'Barack Hussein Obama' she continued by accusing him of being in league with terrorists. As the rowdy crowds reacted to this irresponsible rhetoric, prompting shouts of death threats which arose from the crowd, a growing concern was voiced within the Secret Service about how to deal with this crisis.

It is a strange development indeed that in the United States of America we are faced with having to use the secret service to protect one Presidential candidate from the virulent attacks of another.

Just this weekend I read an editorial in my own local newspaper which questioned why Obama's association with certain indviduals wasn't cause for major concern.

Last I had checked at least Obama has bothered to proclaim that he does not condone nor associate himself with the views of these individuals. Meanwhile, last I checked, Sarah Palin has said nothing to reject the opinion of her Witch Doctor preacher and his efforts at exorcism on her campaign.

What an odd, bizarre, strange, and surreal world we live in. My only thought this evening is, can we impeach McCain and Palin before they are elected?

-------------------------------------------------------------

I should add a postscript as this post has drawn an enormous amount of traffic and comments. This post was meant to be satirical in nature. I have no idea if the secret service is investigating the McCain - Palin campaign though I certainly hope they are looking into the effects of their recent rhetoric. This past week it seems to me that it is almost the strategy of the McCain campaign to get Obama assassinated before the election.

I wrote my snotty little piece because I was amazed this weekend when I heard my own relatives parroting the Fox news talking points to me.

As is often the case, art imitates life. Here are some links to news articles which support my general thesis.

Here's a nice link, right from my home state of Missouri.

The timing of any inquiry into the party hopefuls is needed in advance of the outcome. The aplicable branch service will be held repsonsible if the need to investigate was held up after having knowledge. Its routine and never goes anywhere. Plumbers, Watergate Hotel, random arrests. . .Hmmmm www.borrowerhotline,com

All around America, McCain/GOP offices are being vandalized. Obama's ACORN is fraudulently registering every degeneratein sight. McCain/Palin signs are being torched, and Obama-worshiping anarchists are hanging and burning McCain or Palin photos in effigy.

Yet, this loon on Google here John Ratcliff somehow latches on to one lonely incident in which someone at a McCain rally yells out one word.

It's a pity these lefties can't see the very characteristics (embeded in McCain and Palin) which makes America great, and in fact gives loons like Ratcliff freedom.

Obama has never stood for anything but 'hate America' diatribes.

das, talk out of your ass, why doncha...I really fail to see how John Rattcliff is a 'loon' for mentioning Sarah Palin's continuation of the Republican slurs on someone who is not a 100% all American whiteboy - who - GASP - claims to have had religious doubts (though not the partyboy background of Dubya, surely something in his favour if you're looking at it from a Christian angle). These slurs are promoting an inherently Islamophobic/xenophobic viewpoint (no surpise from someone with as parochial an atittude as Palin, I guess). So what if Obama's FIRST NAME was 'Hussein'? Would that make him a terrorist? Even if Obama was a Muslim, would that make him a 'terrorist'? McCain reassures people by telling them that Obama is a 'good Christian' (and gets booed!) - but even if he wasn't, what's the problem? The swing to the religious right is deeply disturbing, and connected in some bizarre way to traditional Republican libertarian politics (manifesting itself as "socialism for the rich, free markets for the poor" through government bailouts). That said, I don't hold out much hope for Obama to do much better - though not as crazy as Sarah Palin (even John McCain appears a little shocked when in her presence), his policies will undoubtedly keep the status quo, despite the appeals to 'change' and 'hope' - he may even attack Iran, if the wrong advice is given. God (or someone) help us all!

OBAMA voters don't even need to vote because ACORN has already done it for them. Wow, what a service they provide to there base. Allah Akbar OBAMA.

Wow! That's amazing! Investigated by the Secret Service! Do you perchance have a link? A source? A reference for this fascinating bit of knowledge?

You surely wouldn't be making up a truthy factoid out of whole cloth, now, would you?

Play the "Race Card," Obama. That is what Bill Clinton said you did to defeat Hillary It worked!! Now you need to continue to do it to defeat McCain. Obama, you've effectively played the "race card" early so now anyone who might question your judgment or anything about your great "unknown past" can be called a "racist." Great strategy, Obama. Go for it. I agree that your methods are just skipping right over the socialist phase for USA and going straight for communism in USA. ANONYMOUS DOWNDRAFT
My post was a piece of satire. I don't suppose anyone else got the joke?

No, no one thought it was satire. More to the point, no one thinks it was satire. It doesn't read like satire.

Your explanation, on the other hand, does read like a weasely attempt to cover up the fact that you were spreading lies about Palin.

Cry "satire" all you want. It won't change your newly established reputation as a hack. Congratulations.

Give it a break all of you rightwingers. The man ( John ) said it was a joke when he posted it. But as always you read only what you want to and ignore all the rest.
Hey John,
I think we need to get an MD who will prescribe some chill pills for everyone. ;)

Who would have thought that politics would rile people up so much?
