Cutting Through the Bull on Sarah Palin

I honestly don't care about the political infighting amongst Republican campaign workers, handlers, and this one particular public "face" of the party. It's amusing, but so petty.
But none of this should take away our continued attention to and condemnation of what Gov. Palin was fomenting, encouraging, leading:
"Sarah Palin's attacks on Barack Obama's patriotism provoked a spike in death threats against the future president, Secret Service agents revealed during the final weeks of the campaign."
"The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of "palling around with terrorists", citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers.
The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling "terrorist" and "kill him" until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.
But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further."

For shame, Sarah Palin -- you invoked God's name enough times, but you behaved like Judas.

All I can say is BINGO- you people picked her and I said that first day that what it would guarantee was an Obama win and it did.
