Sarah Palin posts hit list on Facebook, tells supporters to 'reload,' 'aim,' 'fire'
154 replies, posted
[QUOTE=The Examiner]Sarah Palin is using Facebook and Twitter to call attention to her political hit list for the 2010 elections. Her tweets prompt followers to head to her Facebook page where there is a post titled, "Don’t Get Demoralized! Get Organized! Take Back the 20!" followed by a list of House members who voted in favor of 'Obamacare.'
Who is on Sarah Palin's political hit list?
Palin's list on Facebook includes 17 Democrats in Congress who her political action committee will work to defeat in the November elections:
Ann Kirkpatrick (Ariz.), Harry E. Mitchell (Ariz.), Gabrielle Giffords (Ariz.), John Salazar (Colo.), Betsy Markey (Colo.), Allen Boyd (Fla.), Suzanne M. Kosmas (Fla.), Baron P. Hill (Ind.), Earl Pomeroy (N.D.), Charlie Wilson (Ohio), John Boccieri (Ohio), Kathy Dahlkemper (Pa.), Christopher Carney (Pa.), John M. Spratt, Jr. (S.C.), Tom Perriello (Va.), Alan B. Mollohan (W.Va.), and Nick J. Rahall II (W.Va.).
On her Facebook page, Palin provides a map of the United States with a gun crosshair over each of the states of the Democrats that Palin is targeting on her list.
Palin's use of the words "reload", "aim" and "fire" conjures up violence in what is already being called a "hit list" post on Facebook.
On Twitter: "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: "Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!" Pls see my Facebook page."
On Facebook: "We’re going to fire them and send them back to the private sector, which has been shrinking thanks to their destructive government-growing policies ... We’ll aim for these races and many others. This is just the first salvo in a fight to elect people across the nation who will bring common sense to Washington."
Sarah Palin is making her voice heard and her voice is certainly being heard. However, is it necessary to make a post that sounds like she's going to be toting an AK-47 to all of her rallies?[/QUOTE]

Does she even think about what the consequences of her words could be? Especially now.
Oh wow.
What a poor choice of words.
Who let this Enormous fuck-up into the spot-light?
She's playing the redneck rural hunter card. Big deal. She isn't inciting any violence.
Uh.
What the fuck, I knew she was stupid but damn, I didn't think she'd be dumb enough to do this kind of shit.
should reload, aim between her eyes, THEN fire.
She's a fucking idiot.
This can easily be construed as a criminal death threat and invitation to violence.

How so? She never said to shoot anyone, it is obviously a gimmick to cater to the rednecks(read, republicans).
alright i saved the list now i just need some guns and training with them

You think rednecks know that?
At least she's wrecking what little credibility she had left. No chance for a run for president in 2012? Sounds good to me.

Uh, yea. It is beyond obvious.

Fucking seriously, it doesn't even say anything about guns, it is just fancy words to get people riled up for the next election.
What makes it even creepier is that there has been a large amount of violence towards those people in Congress who voted in favor.

For you and I yes...

She is Sarah Palin

Are you calling tea baggers sane?

Oh yeah. How silly of me.
Now there's already a bunch of people in the country that hates these politicians. If any of them were assassinated I can see this biting her in the ass. I know the chances are slim to none, but still sometimes wonder what this woman is thinking half the time.

Uh, they are sane. Ignorant, stupid, scared, but not insane.

":derp:" is what she things all the time.

Anyone who assassinates one of these politicians has much bigger problems than being a Tea Partier.

Yeah but there are a few wackos out there that are insane. Do you realize how many plots to assassinate Obama have been stopped already? And that was just before this. And now you have nearly every democratic congressman receiving death threats. It's just not a good combination.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;20966068]How so?[/QUOTE]
The same way that gesturing that you're going to cut someone's throat can be construed as a death threat.
Subtext applies in these situations.

Is there a conspiracy within the Tea Party to assassinate these people? Is there a conspiracy within the Republican Party to assassinate these people? If not, then it doesn't matter what the person's party affiliation is.

I was just pointing out that there are wackos out there, and it was a poor choice of wording and imagery, especially with all the death threats and vandalism that has been taking place in the last week.
I won't be surprised if there's going to be some actual violence against politicians as a result of this health bill passing. Angry rednecks are dangerous.
Well, it's time to fight back. Arm up! Time to take back our state seats. We are [b]Shoot[/b]ing for these seats that are currently [b]all[/b] democrats. [b]The[/b] [b]democrats[/b] want to bring America to a socialist nation [b]and[/b] we are going to stand up against them. [b]Kill[/b] these bills before they reach the Senate. Let [b]them[/b] know that us real Americans are not b[b]eat[/b], show that [b]their[/b] responsibilities are still valid. Also [b]entrails[/b].
