Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations. George Bernard Shaw

Inciting Violence

This article in the Washington Post reports on a campaign speech given by Sarah Palin in Clearwater, FL today. She was tossing out the red meat about Obama's "pal" William Ayers, and - I kid you not - this exchange was reported:

"Boooo!" the crowd repeated.
"Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience.


Kill him? With no response from the candidate? Is this ticket so desperate now that they're holding Klan rallies? Of course, since Palin doesn't know her Supreme Court history, she probably figures Obama is still only worth three-fifths of John McCain.

I think the McCain-Palin ticket is getting down to the mouth breathers now. Or, to borrow a phrase from the illustrious Dick Cheney, "bitter dead-enders"
