SF Senator Receives Threats Over Palin Probe
Source: cbs5

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5 / AP) ―

Sarah Palin's scheduled appearance at a California university is sparking more than just controversy. A state senator who has brought attention to the deal said he has been getting hate messages.

San Francisco Senator Leland Yee's office said they have received several faxes and emails with racial slurs, homophobic messages and even threats on the senator's life.

His office said the messages have been sent following Yee's call for greater transparency regarding former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's scheduled visit to California State University Stanislaus.

The Senate sergeant-at-arms is investigating the threats.

1. How can you safely take on the Queen of the Christian Militias?
Before she went "mainstream" she and her husband openly attended meetings of anti Federal Government groups. She was the keynote speaker for a wacky secessionist group. Most of these people are racist, anti-Semitic and gun toting dangerous.

I worry all the time about the people who have to stand up to this violent trash and their code talking leaders.

2. Palinistas sure are a class bunch
aren't they. :sarcasm:

One would think that a push for transparency would be something they could support.

3. Her supporters who are supposedly angry at Wall Street, are freaking out over this?
No inquiry for Palin, she gets a pass I guess.

Why aren't they directing their anger at the lack of reform? What does Palin
tell these assholes about the issues I wonder.

9. Why would you expect them to think or behave rationally?
They're stupid enough to think this dumbass, ignorant, race-baiting, fearmongering grifter should be a national leader. That tells you plenty about their capacity for reason and logic and intelligent thought.

10. Yea, but they claim to also want accountability in government. I can't
help but wonder what would happen if any of them asked her a legitimate question.

I have only seen Palin speak at the podium, pep rally style on youtube clips, I guess she avoids all questions,
even from her adoring fans.

6. This being April 20th -- the appropriate response to your posting is . . .
. . . just what Hitler said: "Tell the big lie often enough and people will believe it." Sarah loves me this I know, cause Rush Limbaugh tells me so . . . etc. Get the point?

7. So screech and deliver doesn't promote hate and violence.
Why doesn't someone follow her around with a screechmobile and ask people if they have finally had enough.

8. Dr. Yee is a wonderful, progressive community person.
We met him at some of his SF fundraisers and unfortunately, lost him as our supervisor when he went on to win his race.

Of course he is being targeted.
