A tweet by a nobody making threats should make front page news?

Please, why are you linking us to some bum-ass blog? Fox News most certainly would have jumped all over this if it had any basis in truth.

Notice that the person is not actually saying "I will kill Sarah Palin".

Not when it is against a conservative and not when the media is too intent on the narrative about those nasty, awful threats to democrat lawmakers.

Can you imagine if this were a former democrats VP nominee receiving such threats? It would be all over the news.

Hypocrisy.

And indeed they do. Notice the date;

Bart Stupak's family getting 'abusive' calls - Andy Barr - POLITICO.com

Quote:
Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) said Thursday that his family has been the target of “abusive” behavior in response to his decision to withhold his vote for health care reform over federal funding for abortion.
This was when it looked like Stupak was a no - who do you think was doing the calling and cussing out? Enraged liberals of course.

The point is that it isn't enough to get you arrested, so it's pretty safe for anyone to actually do. Think harder.

Epic fail indeed. Someone tweeted death threats against Obama and it is not all over the news. Do your homework next time.
