The Secret Service is investigating another one of those “kill him” threats directed against Barack Obama at a Sarah Palin rally, threats that some of her supporters claim are figments of the media’s imagination.
The latest incident occurred yesterday at the Riverfront Sports Complex in Scranton, Pennsylvania, as a local politician warmed up the crowd for John McCain’s running mate, whose inflammatory remarks about Obama and audience baiting have become the hallmark of the most dismal half of the sorriest presidential campaign in memory.
Palin, as befits a person of her smallness, has said or done nothing to try to discourage this behavior.
