Laura says the "terrorist" "kill him" comments never happened - then compares it to left wing websit
Anyways she was filling in with O'reilly with Hitchens as her guest and I must say I was very impressed. He was stating reasons why he doesn't support McCain, he said Obama has an excellent learning curve and the choice of Joe Biden (she jumped into to say he's been wrong about everything except for Bosnia) shows that he is surrounding himself and stated McCain was wrong to attack Obama for his stance on Pakistan. Then said the pick of Palin shows bad judgment. She said (the one that draws 20,000 to events) then Hitchens said supporters that yell out "terrorist" and "kill him" and she said there are reports out that said those events never happened and that postings on Left wing websites(like this one I spend ALOT of time at) are worse or equally bad to the occasional nut. I have NEVER seen one comment advocating death of McCain or Palin!! Most of the bad comments are made by trolls who get their accounts deleted and their posts removed.

1. She is hard to take as she talks over every one.
True statements do not seem to be in her bag either. Trouble is one usually knows a lot of people like her. They are sure they are right so you may as well shut up.

2. I heard the same thing...
... about the kill him comment. Is there a source or video to disprove this? My searches have turned up just people talking about it but not the actual event.

4. There is a video of Palin and McCain rally
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kill+him&search_type=&aq=-1&oq=

I can't verify if you can actually hear it from the clips because my PC has no sound but I've heard the comments from Network TV News.

5. It is unclear if there is any video with "kill him" clearly being yelled. This is
why the right has called it a myth. But my understanding is the Scranton media heard it and reported as such. The media has also reported the racial epithets being yelled at a cameraman setting up his equipment and also nasty comments to the media people in general. Again, this is being reported by the media. It is not only left blogs reporting this stuff.

6. The case she was making
was the left wing blogs are posted hateful comments similar to the ones heard at McCain rallies. I no we say some pretty bad things about McCain and Palin but I never read one advocating the death of one of the two.
