This is, as you say, a mother of a family. She is a mature 44 year old adult women with a very checkered past of radicalism herself. She like me, is plenty old enough to remember our, not so long ago, past. Civil rights for haven't came cheap.
She is not new to the political scene. She didn't come from a different planet. She fully knows what she says and the reactions she will get. She is not naive she is a very calculated player. All references here on DU from folks that live up in Alaska can attest to that fact. As well as some of Alaska's most popular newspapers. Look, she made the comments, they worked, the got people up and violent. Soooo She just kept on repeating them, town after town, state after state.
I live here in this hate filled south. You can't possibly have it so near, in your general vicinity, and not fully be aware of the possible consequences. We only have to look to our past to see our future. Hate is not hard to find it littered all over.
Example: Tonight at my church class a member said when speaking about the news. "It's those Muslims that are killing our soldiers over there" then he referred to an example. I said it isn't Muslims thats killing it is radical extremists. Of course that didn't go over well at all.
