Sarah Palin: Hunt down Assange like a terrorist

[LAGC]

Potential GOP presidential contender Sarah Palin wins the prize for most feverish reaction to the WikiLeaks release with this new Facebook post:

The latest round of publications of leaked classified U.S. documents through the shady organization called Wikileaks raises serious questions about the Obama administration’s incompetent handling of this whole fiasco.

First and foremost, what steps were taken to stop Wikileaks director Julian Assange from distributing this highly sensitive classified material especially after he had already published material not once but twice in the previous months? Assange is not a "journalist," any more than the "editor" of al Qaeda’s new English-language magazine Inspire is a "journalist." He is an anti-American operative with blood on his hands. His past posting of classified documents revealed the identity of more than 100 Afghan sources to the Taliban. Why was he not pursued with the same urgency we pursue al Qaeda and Taliban leaders?
..
..
It's first worth noting that there is no evidence that Assange has "blood on his hands." In a review of a previous round of leaks on Afghanistan, the Pentagon found no evidence that anyone had been endangered.

But more important: Palin is advocating that Assange be pursued like an al-Qaida operative. In the current context, it's not unreasonable to interpret that to mean he should be assassinated.

Wow, this woman is off her rocker. If (when) something happens to Assange, is she going to be gloating about it?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. She likes hunting so much; she should do it herself.

Ninny.

[BadgerKid]

19. Maybe we could take up a collection for a helicopter.

:rofl:

[Motown_Johnny]

28. don't they use those on her reality show?

let them supply one

[liberal N proud]

2. Can you imagine what it will be like with her as President?

It will be the end of the country.

[HipChick]

5. No...I would have emigrated already

[panader0]

13. Would be, not will be

she'll never be elected.

[TheBigotBasher]

20. The Shrub wasn't either.

[liberal N proud]

40. Glad you are so confident

I fear the sheer stupidity of the US voter.

bu$h became POTUS, so can this dimwit.

[HipChick]

3. Does Snowdrift Snooki really have to stick her nose into everything?

[flvegan]

9. DAMN IT!

Beer out of my nose!

:rofl:

[malaise]

24. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahaha

She is fugging ubiquitous. :rofl:

[superduperfarleft]

26. That is probably the best name I've ever heard for her.

Lady Blah Blah just got kicked down a notch.

[postulater]

4. He was in Sweden last I heard. Let's invade there!

[HipChick]

7. I thought he was hiding out in the UK? Let's nuke them..

[postulater]

15. I heard he is in your basement.

Send in the bunker busters!

[bergie321]

31. LOL

My first thought too.

[polichick]

6. When is she coming out with her "hunt them down" statement re: Bush & Cheney?? nt

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

8. I guess she forgot

to twatter about CheneyCo. outing Valerie Plame and the blood on his hands for doing that.

Calls for Assange to be prosecuted or worse rise from a fundamental inability to accept the rise of transparency and the failure of the old-school intelligence and diplomatic schools who are still farting around with 20th Ct. tech.

[louis-t]

10. Hmm, I didn't notice her tweeting when Cheney outed

Val Plaime.

[Octafish]

11. Talk about a stupid publicity hoe are.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

12. Well, she just gained a lot of fans at DU.

Not that they (a) will admit it, or (b) weren't already.

[sabrina 1]

25. I was just thinking that ... she should be used as a litmus test.

Iow, you KNOW you're on the wrong side of an issue when she is for it.

She probably just did more to boost Assange's popularity around the globe than he could have dreamed of.

[Loge23]

14. Who told her?

Alright, who told Palin what a Wikileak is?

[Raschel]

16. She did not write that, She can't talk like that and never will be able to. That's why she posts.

[HipChick]

27. She doesn't..she has a ghost Facebook writer..a failed LA scriptwriter..Rebecca A. Mansour.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/26/sarah-palin-white-house-book-tour

she was an LA scriptwriter until she reinvented herself as a blogger when she set up Conservatives4Palin in protest at what she felt was the unfair way the vice-presidential candidate was treated in the 2008 election. She describes herself as an "ordinary barbarian", and since having helped Palin write her first book, Going Rogue, she has become her unofficial mouthpiece, writing draft speeches and putting out Tweets and Facebook entries in her name.

[Raschel]

29. Ordinary barbarian? What a nut.

Plus, I know she never writes her own internets or speeches. I just have to put it in print whenever I can.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. We should send the fleet to East Korea to hunt him down.

[Canuckistanian]

35. Silly, East Korea is our ally

We've always been at war with WEST Korea.

[spanone]

18. stfu lady

[sabrina 1]

21. Well, that should settle it for anyone who was wondering

whether or not shining the light on governments' actions is a good or a bad thing.

What an idiot that woman is.

[Swamp Rat]

22. I bet she'd like to suck the blood directly from his left ventricle after yanking out his heart.

Succubus.

[Swamp Rat]

23. and eat his brain

[Tuesday Afternoon]

30. gawd. the woman is an idiot.

sheesh.

[City Lights]

32. Shut up, Sarah. nt

[jberryhill]

33. ...Before we get all of the cables quoting foreign leaders saying "That woman is an idiot" /nt

[Canuckistanian]

34. He's got protection, you know, Ms. Palin

If he's killed, SOMEONE will release the encryption key to that "insurance file". Then all Hell breaks loose.

I'm sure he's mentioned that already to the authorities.

[MadMaddie]

36. This is the Junior over reaction to everything redux

I don't want her anywhere near the red button....she is to mentally unstable and emotional.

[MisterP]

37. hmm, don't you usually marry your terrorists, Sarah?

the US Establishment is always this frothing crazy: that's how they can believe that we Americans were betrayed out of a victory in Vietnam

Watchmen's The Comedian isn't fictional

[Arkana]

38. Well, I think I like this Assange fellow now.

Anyone who gets Sarah Palin to declare jihad on him must be an all-right dude.

[Turborama]

39. "Anyone who gets Sarah Palin to declare jihad" <----- DUZY!

:rofl:
