    Maybe you missed these stories. No outrage about this from you?

    Where is your outrage about these stories, and all hell hasnt broken loose despite these stories.

    All answer it for you, none of it is ok. All of it is wrong. Outrage of one (Palin) and not the other?

    Gotten away with what? There is nothing illegal here. What do you have against freedom of speech?

    Give me a break. This happens all the time, especially around Halloween.

    i just read the article. this part was funny---

    "FOX 11 reported that the scene may also have been a response to a false rumor that recently circulated in the area that drag queens were to be banned from dressing up as Palin for the annual West Hollywood Halloween carnival costume party on Santa Monica Boulevard. The drag race and pageant were held Sunday evening, and no costume was forbidden. "

    i was going to wear a wig, a black eye and a backwards B on my face, but i may just go as palin.

    The only one I've heard of was the assasination attempt and I found out about that one AFTER I posted this. I don't think any of this is ok. I have extreme outrage about any one creating "art" or actually threatening to kill anyone. This is all bull. I'm so ready for this election to be over.

    I have NOTHING against freedom of speech and consider it one of the greatest things about this country, but there is a point when you just cross the damn line and it's just wrong.

    Honestly, the way the media (except FoxNews) has been the last few months, yeah, I do think there would have been.
