13. While I practiced law, I was not a Constitutional lawyer...
but IMHO, this is not protected speech. The old standard is 'yelling fire in a crowded theater,' and while this situation would be open to some interpretation based on context, it's quite simply as evil a story as I've ever read. It only takes one fucking lunatic who's got some inbred, fucked up crush on her to try something. Either she knows that, or she's too stupid to understand it when it's happening. Either way, the campaign should be stopped and investigated, but we know that'll never happen. If Obama or Biden had been at the podium during this dialogue, they'd be in orange jump suits right now.

This is really getting to be the looking glass election, isn't it? Democracy is literally on the line.

I can't NOT believe that this piece of shit Palin won't someday get the karma payback she has coming, and oh, how delicious will the public humiliation be.
