An empty-minded two-bit political hack from Alaska that is not ready for prime time.
Worse, Palins routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Courics questions for her less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media. At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, Sit down, boy.
The reception had been better in Clearwater, where Palin, speaking to a sea of Palin Power and Sarahcuda T-shirts, tried to link Obama to the 1960s Weather Underground. One of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers, she said. (Boooo! said the crowd.) And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol, she continued. (Boooo! the crowd repeated.)
Kill him! proposed one man in the audience.
