Question Did someone yell "Kill Obama" at a Palin rally?

Did someone yell "Kill Obama" at a Palin rally?

Obama, at the debate, said this happened. He even says that Palin “didn’t mention, didn’t stop, didn’t say 'hold on a second'.”

Maybe if you stopped harping on Obama's Muslim heritage for 10 seconds and read a real news account you'd know that yes, this actually happened and has been reported many times.

I heard this last week or so - not sure how it could be at a rally Monday.

Regardless, the topic should not be completely unkown to someone as well informed as our Hebrew friend, Ohel Moed.

"A couple people" being the entire security detail plus the 20 or so additional people they interviewed?

Look, giving the reporter the benefit of the doubt, someone around him may have said it, but it seems unlikely that anybody of signficance, let alone Sarah Palin, heard it or had a chance to respond to it.

Yes, it's true that it's been reported many times. No, it's not true that there's any evidence, so far as I've been able to tell, that it actually occurred.

Any evidence that it didn't?

Sure, if you ignore all reporting of the event, there's no evidence. There's no evidence that a debate occurred last night if you ignore all the evidence that one did.
