Saying, "I think Sarah Palin should be shot" is not a death threat. Just a statement of their personal opinion.
I don't like Palin as much as everyone else, but they are just statements. Wording is everything.

Wow. Just wow. Since when does one bad deed deserve another? Seriously, if this off the wall political rhetoric (spouted by politicians and citizens) continues to escalate the way it has been, well, a wise man once said "I've got a bad feeling about this." Red states VS. Blue States will have a whole new meaning.

This is why we need governments, because if we didn't we would be left with decisions being made in the equivalent fashion of twitter campaigns and facebook groups. The people are too bloody stupid to rule themselves.

While I hate Sarah Palin with a passion, I think this is unfair to her.
She was not responsible for the shooting anymore than donald duck was, to blame her is a betrayal of the events of that day.
The fact that people would even latch onto this idea just show how deep the media has its claws in the brains of these people.
I never thought I would defend that woman
*shudder*

Ya, Sarah and her ilk are MORONS
WHY?
A platitude is a trite, meaningless, biased, or prosaic statement, often presented as if it were significant and original. The word derives from plat, the French word for "flat." Whether any given statement is considered to have meaning is highly subjective, so platitude is often—but not always—used as a pejorative term to describe seemingly profound statements that a certain person views as unoriginal or shallow. An example of a platitude could be "go with the flow" or "a rule is a rule."
