Sounds more like Altamont than Woodstock. Altamont got violent when the Hell’s Angels showed up. My bet is there are a few bikers at this thing.

And Sarah, the problem with that excuse, is your followers don’t do nuance. They see targets, they shoot.

Its probably a Young Republican heckling her for supporting McCain. LOL

“… the constitution that gives him the right to protest” said Palin, then she had her thugs show one of JD Hayworth’s supporters the door. Reconcile that for us, Palin, could ya? You betcha!!

A person may have the right to heckle, but it is nevertheless quite uncivil at such a gathering, and deprives the other people of their right to assemble and listen to a featured speaker. Asking a heckler to leave in such situations is quite common. At least they did not tazer the guy.

Looked like they were ‘asking’ rather forcefully. Wonder if he was saying, “Don’t hit me, Bro!!”

I don’t have any sympathy for the heckler. Let the people there hear their speaker or leave. No need to disrupt. It only makes you look like an idiot.

What was most stunning was the fact that every platitude and talking point that she used yesterday was repeated today. It’s painfully obvious that this woman is willfully ignorant and incapable of an individual thought. She’s an uneducated, illinformed and substantively hollow air head who is dangerous. She and her teabaggers are stoking all the anger and hatred and now, the hillbilly grifter and her fellow morons are trying to deflect from this. She is clearly writing her own material and should probably consult professionals. Her screechings and inflections in all the wrong places offends the ear drums. Go away you cash whoring harpy!

Poor Cindy McCain. But at least she can keep in mind that this is the last year.

I’m a democrat these days, for the most part, and I love Palin. She is angling to start a fhird party. The Repubs are afriad of that and are trying to reel her in, without offending her tea party constituents. If she goes off on that third party thing it will be a disaster for the right.

Yeah, that NEVER happens at a BO rally.

Obama – They bring a knife, you bring a GUN!

@valkyrie101

I think you and I agree much more than you or I would agree with the flunky self described “amateur journalist” who likes TO POST in CAPS in a very ANNOYING WAY somewhat haphazardly, WHENEVER HE POSTS. I THINK HE DOES IT CAUSE it really shows oFF His AWESOME journalisTIC SKILlz.

But yeah, on the right to heckle; I think we need to remember the environment that the person is in. Isn’t this a private event? If it is, then there is no right to free speech. Heckler be damned—he has no rights in that scenario.

If any dems condone heckling on here, then get the hell out of my party.

@michelleF

Obama was never mentioned in any comment before you or in any of the words Grant posted… I don’t see what your point is exactly.

My sentiments, exactly. How much must she endure?

This is so rich. “A” heckler being removed is what the take away is for the lib media. LMAO!

I understand that on the rare occassions when Sarah is home, setting around the dinner table with Todd and her children, they heckle her. She has them in her cross-hairs, now.

You know RRK? You’ve said alot of things that I disagree with, some strongly. I think this
is the first time you’ve said something that made me sick to my stomach. You really must
be the lowest level of bottom feeder to insinuate something like that about an person
you don’t like. If you hate her for her views. fine but you stepped over the line.

Too bad for you Fidoohki . In case you didn’t notice, Sarah Palin stepped over the line with her insinuations.

Let me see if I can put in words you understand Marcus. Why is it news when it happens at a Palin event, but NOT at an Obama event? Was that clear enought for you?

Obama – They bring a knife, you bring a GUN!

“Obama was never mentioned in any comment before you or in any of the words Grant posted… I don’t see what your point is exactly.”

Forgive them Marcus, they suffer from Obama derangement and liberal hate syndrome. Fortunately, now that Healthcare reform is law, they can seek out the psychological therapy they so desperately need. ;-)

I can’t beleive you honestly believe that Sarah Palin was targeting democrats for assassination. If you
do, go get help because you are delusional.

@michelleF

Don’t worry about putting it in words that I can understand. If you cared to read what I posted right beforehand, I stated that “heckler[s] be damned”. This isn’t news, if you spared the 10 seconds it may have took to read my first post, directly above the one replied to you, it would have been clear that I thought this story was absurd. I, a lib, asked a serious question on why you wanted to make this about Obama.

Hey Fidoohki

Hey look at that, the guy that just so happened to be the first on Sarah Palin’s list of target reps just so happened to have been picked out for a recent death threat. Hmm… I wonder if there’s a connection.

Fidoohki,

Regardless of what she intended, it is irresponsible for a national political figure to use such inferences.

P.S.
I still can’t reconcile your outrage with what TRRK said with what Palin has said. If Palin didn’t mean anything by it why did TRRK mean anything by his?

Marcus,
I don’t care if Obama was in the original story. I will continue to point out the hypocrisy of this site and other’s regarding how they treat similar instances involving different people. Shall I ask your permission on what to post next time?

Obama – They bring a knife, you bring a GUN!

Supporters of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid staged a counter-protest today in Searchlight, Nevada, the Senator’s hometown. Reid supporters gathered just down the road from the launching point of the Tea Party Express tour, and when Breitbart happened upon them, he was met with threats of violence. At least one protester threw an egg at Brietbart, missing him. Eggs were also thrown at the Tea Party Express bus.

To add insult to insult, Reid supporters called the police to report that Breitbart had provoked an incident.

And in case you are wondering why I’m posting this here, it’s because Mediaite won’t post stories like this so they have to go in the comments.

Obama – They bring a knife, you bring a GUN!

Say, you know which *other* party rally in America draped itself in American flags and used violence against hecklers… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPGT7EaCiIY

@michelleF

If you are offering for me to be your editor of comments, I’ll gladly accept. I would have required you to cite the original source of your comment that way you aren’t accused of plagiarism.

Obama – They bring a knife, you bring a GUN!

This is a lline from the movie “The Untouchables”. I think Sean Connery said. Here’s the whole scene:

Malone: You said you wanted to get Capone. Do you really wanna get him? You see what I’m saying is, what are you prepared to do?

Malone: You wanna know how you do it? Here’s how, they pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. He filabusters your Healthcare reform bill, you push it through using reconciliation. That’s the Chicago way, and that’s how you get Capone!

Hey same2u, Contessa Brewer of MSNBC said repeatedly today that Palin was “targeting” dems. Should she rebuked for her hate language?

hahaha

@tylerdurdin

What are you quoting with the quotation marks? I don’t watch MSNBC (I sorta don’t watch TV really—somehow I still sucker into paying the bill just to watch the few shows i like {house, big bang theory, etc).

I hate to bring this up, but shouldn’t SHOOTFROMTHEHIP (frequent poster here-see 1st comment) be banned?

His name is inciting. It frightens me when he posts, I’m afraid he means us harm with a gun. His name has “shoot” right in it!!! He needs to be dealt with, will Mediate stand up and do the right thing and denounce this poster?

His “threatening” name is beyond the pale, it’s incendary, and in I think MEDIAITE should apologize to all it’s posters and readers for allowing such a terror inciting poster on their site. In fact, I think there may be some criminal culpability on MEDIAITE’S part for allowing such fomenting such fear.

Have you no decency Mediaite? Do not let this “shootfromthehip’ fear mongering terrorist terrorize us any longer! We are more frightened than democrats in congress going home on recess.

I got news for you James, the line is from Obama also. But I guess that wouldn’t incite violence like saying you are going to target someone on election day.

@timzank: Even though I am a Manhattan-dwelling libtard, I disagree.

The phrase “shoot from the hip” is a colloquialism meaning “to act or speak hastily without consideration of the consequences” [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shoot%20from%20the%20hip].

I am unfamiliar with his posting history, but from the way you describe it, this probably describes his activity perfectly. If anything, his moniker alerts you to what you should expect from his posts… frankly, I would call it truth in advertising.

Dear Tim Zank,

First question: Is Tim Zank your real name or should I respond to you as John Doe?

Second question: Have you watched any western movies?

Assuming you have watched westerns, you will realize that shooting from the hip is a reference to the historical dual. Duels in that day and age were actually agreed upon individual contracts. While duals, of this definition, are absurd in this context, were actual common law principles of that day and age, that makes no reference to Mr. Shootfromthehip’s desire. I would much rather worry about people who are costing our government billions.

memzilla, the phrase contains the word “shoot”, therefore ipso/facto it is “threatening” by todays standards. It’s no more benign than “target that district” which in dem-speak obviously means “to kill everyone located in said district”.

See how fuc#ing ridiculous this is??

Welcome to America 2010, where if you disagree with Democrats, you are ipso/facto a racist/ terrorist and they are collectively “victims” of everything.

Marcus, Just like democrats, I’m scared of the name cuz it says “shoot” in it. I don’t need to dig deep into the history of the saying, To hell with common sense, I wanna be just like a democrat, I wanna make a big fuc*ing fuss out of it!!

I’m offended, I’m scared, I demand protection!!!

Well I’m sorry you are making an absurd judgement, I am a democrat. So, with all due respect, stop being prejudice.

Where’s the videotape of the incident? According to you and Breitbart, if there’s no videotape, it didn’t happen.

Depends on if President Obama meant it literally. Why don’t you try pulling a knife on him to see his response. ;-)

What i was doing was pointing out how (using sarcasm) absurd democrats, liberals, progressives (whatever the hell you are this week) are by claiming, fudging, and exaggerating in order to be appear victims and in turn label everyone conservative a racist with a frickin’ gun.

@timzank

And I ask you to stop being prejudice. You are alienating people who are middle of the road, but don’t agree with the route the right wing is choosing. I claim to be a progressive, liberal, democrat–btw. But I am also very centrist on many issues.

I’m just at least trying to make both sides realize the hypocrisy. Liberals are doing the same thing republicans did while in control. Now we have both sides at opposite sides of the spectrum reversing their political rhetoric (and yes your sarcasm is very weak, please show me where you used sarcasm) to make the best of their ideological philosophies.

By your ignorance (as in you must not have read my comments), you are claiming that I am labeling everone conservative as a racist. That is untrue and ignorant. Stop making up false accusations.

You’re exactly right. These RWers keeps spouting off about if there’s no video, then it didn’t happen. Yet if they say it happened to a RWer, that’s suppose to be the gospel truth. Even if they can’t prove it.

Cobra,
I’m not going down this road with you again today. I’ve realized what I need to know about you from our past conversations. Again, I state that I hope in the future, you can find peace and happiness and let go of the hatred you are obviously holding on to.

You are actually saying something like that? When damn near every comment you make shows your hatred for liberals.

John,
Unlike you, I don’t have hatred for those who I disagree with, I just think you are wrong. But if you want to talk about hate-filled comments, I’d be happy to go over some of yours or S2U, or alot of others on this site. I do not call others the dispicable things that I have been called on this site.

@MichelleF

That would be fine. Show me my hate filled comments I’ve posted here.

I can’t believe that someone heckled Palin. The left is the sensitive, caring side.

The heckler was a supporter of J.D. Hayworth.

I hope in the future, you can find peace and happiness and let go of the hatred you are obviously holding on to.

Funny I been thinking the same thing about you.

James, you’re correct. Palin was being heckled from the right because McCain is seen as being too moderate. Of course, that does put a dent in the mantra that all tea partiers are of like mind.

True, the same can be said of all conservatives or all liberals.

Thanks Jim

I didn’t say you could call me Jim!

With Sarah Palin, I believe it’s basically a quid pro quo deal to get her to stump for McCain. I’m an independent conservtive/libertarian and I found myself (as is too often the case) voting not “for” Mr. McCain but “against” Mr -0bama.

After this campaign, Ms. Palin should consider her debt paid in full.
