"Kill Him!" -- Did Not Happen
makin’ up shiite?!?
Shocked! ...
...the U.S. Secret Service is formally denying an allegation from a Pennsylvania newspaper that an attendee at a Republican rally shouted out “kill him” in reference to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
“We have yet to find someone to back up the story,” agent Bill Slavoski… “We had people all over and we have yet to find anyone who said they heard it.”
The alleged remark was first reported by David Singleton, a writer for the Scranton Times-Tribune newspaper. Singleton remains the sole person claiming he heard the offensive words…
Singleton stands by his story although he does admit that he has no description of the person he claims uttered the phrase.
...but wasn’t there another incident?
[from Patterico on 10/14]
"And, according to the New York Times, he [referring to Ayers—P] was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, ‘launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol,’” [Palin] continued.“Boooo!” the crowd repeated.
“Kill him!” proposed one man in the audience....
[from AP]
There was “no indication that there was anything directed at Obama,” Secret Service spokesman Eric Zahren told AP. “We looked into it because we always operate in an atmosphere of an abundance of caution.”...an isolated incident of Obama supporters threatening the life of someone on the McCain ticket, too. Obama supporters yelled Let’s stone her, old school!” outside a Palin rally, about Sarah Palin....

The agent in charge of the Secret Service field office in Scranton said allegations that someone yelled “kill him” when presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s name was mentioned during Tuesday’s Sarah Palin rally are unfounded.
Oh, well… I guess I see why O-bamn was so upset. No one likes to hear that about a ‘pal’..
Now - wonder what would have happened if Mac were as up on the campaign gossip as ....some folks?
