Palin aide Rebecca "Non-Violent Crosshairs" Mansour: Accusations against her boss "incite violence"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

An aide to Sarah Palin tells CBS News that there has been an increase in death threats against the former Alaska governor in the wake of the shootings in Tucson.

The aide did not provide details concerning the volume of threats, how much have they increased or whether they are being referred to the authorities.

A different Palin aide, Rebecca Mansour, told USA Today that the increase in threats since Saturday has been "incredible."

"There has been an incredible increase in death threats against Gov. Palin since the tragedy in Arizona, since she's been accused of having the blood of those victims on her hands," she said. "When you start to accuse people of having the blood of innocent people on their hands, it incites violence."

:eyes:

[Drale]

2. I would not be supprised to hear

that Palin has an "aid" named knuckles.

3. FREE SPEECH, you little twit. You can't have it both ways.

[nykym]

4. Dear Sarah

Since you like Bible quotes so much here's one I found for you.

"Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap"

[William769]

5. Maybe your boss should be more careful in her choice of words & images.

[gatorboy]

6. I believe that quote has been edited.

It doesn't show the 50 "ya know?" she probably used.

[Iggo]

7. But how can that be, Rebecca?

How can my words incite someone to violence, but the words of Saint Sarah do not?

How is that possible, Rebecca?

[malaise]

8. Poor Sarah

Six dead, thirteen injured including Gifford whose life will change forever and they're talking about threats to the person who put cross hairs on the Congresswoman's district and was called for it by Gabby Giffords.

Fuck you both very much!!

9. Palin herself said the same thing in her speech

After denying that her own rhetoric was inciteful to violence, she said that her opponents' criticism of her "serves only to incite...violence." :crazy:

L.A. Times columnist Doyle McManus pointed this out in his op-ed column today on Palin's speech:

Palin comes out swinging, and misses

10. Meh, this woman swims in kool-ade. nt

[tanyev]

11. Sarah "Me Too" Palin

"HEY! I GOT DEATH THREATS, TOOOO!!! WHY ISN'T EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT MEEEEEEEE?"

[Contrary1]

12. Obama's "death panels" ring a bell?

Palin...Palin...Palin?

[AldebTX]

13. Well I Certainly Hope

all these death threats are turned over to the authorities. I would hate to think they are just being ignored and reported to the Liberal media.

[emulatorloo]

19. I've thinking the same thing. Call the FBI, not your media contacts.

[sadbear]

14. It says more about them than it does about us.

That they're prone to violence when accused.

[librechik]

15. That sounds like Palin is going to get her deer rifle and come after us

I wonder if she'll get acquitted due to insanity...

[montanto]

16. Luckily

she couldn't hit a bull in the ass with a bass fiddle.

[Blue Owl]

17. Yes Rebecca, your operation would know quite a lot about inciting violence

n/t

[Ruby the Liberal]

18. Tonight, Rebecca and St Sarah will have a call to figure out how to 'own' the next news cycle.

What shit can we make up out of whole cloth for tomorrow??

ME ME ME ME ME!!!!!

[old mark]

20. Right. And I have a non-violent .357 magnum in my pocket right now..

She has been provoking and inciting this shit since the campaign in 2008-remember the people calling out "Kill him", referring to Obama? For her-and indeed the right in general-to get all upset because people FINALLY call her on it after over 2 years is a poor joke.

Then, SHE is a poor joke.
