Dobbs on Palin Event: CNN 10/16/08

Lou Dobbs on Sarah Palin Event
"Lou Dobbs Tonight" 7:40pm
Commentary

TRANSCRIPT:
LOU DOBBS: The Secret Service tonight says allegations that you heard Senator Obama refer to last night, saying that Senator Obama was threatened during a Sarah Palin rally are, simply unfounded. The Secret Service investigated the claim that someone, at Tuesdays Scranton, PA rally yelled kill him! when Obamas name was mentioned by a local Congressional candidate. The agent in charge of the Scranton office said agents could find no one, not a single witness to substantiate the claim, and none of the agents certainly could. The allegation first appeared in the Scranton Times Tribune, then the National mainstream media jumped on the story and reported the claim. The Times Tribune says it stands by its story. There are, as I repeat, no witnesses to corroborate it.

I don't know about that particular rally but I have heard things like "off with his head" at one of mccain's rallies. Nothing about the alligations are far fetched witnesses or no.

No witnesses at a Palin rally? No one will step forward....Hmmm? Yeah,so guess it never happened.

I don't doubt that this threat was made. Think about it. When McCain mentioned Obama at his rally, people started yelling stuff like "Terrorist!", "Traitor!", etc..
