"Kill Him"

Secret Service Says 'Kill Him' Allegation Unfounded
(FROM: The Times Leader) A Scranton, PA newspaper first reported it, then 
it was picked up by ABC, The Associated Press, The Washington Monthly and 
MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Finally, it was repeated by Barack 
Obama in last night's presidential debate. Somebody at a recent 
McCain-Palin rally, Obama said, shouted "kill him!" from the audience. The 
only problem? The Secret Service said it didn't happen. Now, that's not to 
say that some fired-up McCain supporters haven't been shouting some 
unfortunate things, but there are ignorant and classless people on both 
sides, such as the Barack Obama supporters who wear "Sarah Palin is a 
Cunt" t-shirts or write in to Web sites like The Daily Kos saying things 
like, "Sarah Palin's Down's baby should have been aborted." To me, when 
Obama made this cringe-worthy argument--nobody wants to hear shouts of 
"kill him!"--it was a lot like him attacking McCain first by making the 
assumption that, just maybe, McCain may say that he "doesn't look like the 
other presidents" on the bills in our wallets. Evoking emotion--the 
liberal currency--by touting something that hasn't happened just rubs me 
the wrong way.
