McCain Über Alles!

Palin's historical ignorance leads her to rabble rouse.  This type of rabble rousing with calls for killing your political opponent have a long history of turning into violent bloodshed.  This is true in America as it is in the world.  But American political discourse should be above this.  I disagree with John McCain, but that doesn't make me want to kill him.  He's still my fellow citizen exercising his rights to democratic political action.  I'm just not going to vote for him.  Calling for the death of your political opponent is as uncivilized as it is dangerous.  Educated people know better.  Palin's advisors would do well to give her some history lessons.
