This Sarah Palin look-alike today called for an investigation by the media in order to flush out the secretly anti-American people we have elected to Congress. A page right out of McCarthyism, and this was in concert with a huge wave of renewed attacks againt Barack Obama. Today the Republicans were robocalling and appearing everywhere suggesting this Bill Ayers fiasco was part of a consistent anti-American sentiment on the part of Barack Obama. They were still calling his brief encounters with Ayers "paling around". The whole thing is very distasteful, but more than that it reveals that these McCain supporters really do believe in a whacko conspiracy heory that "liberals" (shudder-shudder) have some evil plan to bring down America. Nancy Pelosi and Henry Reid are two examples of the anti-Americans they are warning about.

The trouble with this woman's fascist views...
is that it might encourage nutcases including white supremacist groups to feel they have no choice but to go out and commit murders because they feel they are defending this country, much like Adkisson did in the recent church shooting here in Knox county.
The blood of innocent people could very well end up on her hands...
The only redeeming thing I
The only redeeming thing I can see at all, and this is a real stretch to call it redeeming, is that she calls for the media to investigate, and isn't calling for HUAC to be reestablished.
Fascism has no place in the United States, much less
.. in the House of Representatives.
Behavior like this is an impeachable offense.

When we have nothing to add to the dialogue but cheap shots that really tells the rest of the world we certainly are open minded and fair and not a left or right wing nut.

Oh, as if the left isn't allowed to make a small joke that's hardly derogatory, at least compared to the words from those it was said about. Have you bothered to also admonish people of Johnstown, PA?
