Um, Sarah Palin And Her Facebook Page Now To Blame For Death Threats?
Pretty soon the question is going to be who isn’t to blame for the threats against members of Congress following Sunday’s health care bill vote. There is a lot of finger-pointing going on (needless to say). So perhaps it was inevitable that at some point the fingers turned to the original death paneler, herself, Sarah Palin. This is the Tweet that apparently got people riled up:
“Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: “Don’t Retreat, Instead – RELOAD!” Pls see my Facebook page.”
And this from the ever powerful Palin Facebook page:
We’re going to reclaim the power of the people from those who disregarded the will of the people. We’re going to fire them and send them back to the private sector, which has been shrinking thanks to their destructive government-growing policies. Maybe when they join the millions of unemployed, they’ll understand why Americans wanted them to focus on job creation and an invigorated private sector. Come November, we’re going to print pink slips for members of Congress as fast as they’ve been printing money.
We’re paying particular attention to those House members who voted in favor of Obamacare and represent districts that Senator John McCain and I carried during the 2008 election.
And then she names names. Oooh.
It’s apparently the graphic that “targets” the districts those names represent that caused the fuss? I think you have to look pretty hard to find it (John McCain didn’t see it, either). Kind of like finding death panels in the health care bill.
