Attorney: Palin Must Be Investigated For Incitement
Advertisements [?]
(posted in another thread by nashadvocate, who probably can't post a thread, due to post count)
Thank you Nashadvocate, I hope you don't mind my posting this, I feel it is important to get it out there.

.

If Palin's speeches over the past few days have seemed odd to you--have seemed, perhaps, like no other political speeches you've ever seen, not in this presidential election cycle or any other--it's likely because they're not. Calling your opponent a jerk or an imbecile is nothing new; telling a crowd of thousands in a public space that a public figure consorts with and gives comfort to "domestic terrorists", in an effort to enflame the passions of the crowd, is something else altogether.

And isn't, at least not clearly, legal.

At recent Palin events, members of the crowd have begun shouting epithets at the stage (regarding Obama) during Palin's most inflammatory remarks. First, it was a man screaming "Terrorist!" at the mention of Obama's name, following a description of the Senator's alleged "connections" with 60s radical William Ayers. Then, it was another man screaming "Treason!" as Palin rhetorically asked the crowd what we should think about a public figure who consorts with "domestic terrorists."
