New's From Palin's Land

"Palin's country : a sort of closed environment dramatically, where the rooms are full of patriots, anti-abortions and occasionally by representatives of the press, invited to observe but not for interacting ... Where directed photos take the place of press conferences ..."

"We want Sarah! We want Sarah!"

Palin,speaking to a sea of "Palin Power" and "Sarahcuda" T-shirts, tried to link Obama to the 1960s Weather Underground.One of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers, she said. ("Boooo!" said the crowd.) And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, "launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol",she continued.("Boooo"!the crowd repeated.)"Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience.This does not appear an isolated incident. Yesterday at a McCain rally, after McCain asked "Who is the real Barack ObamaBarack Obama?" a member of the audience yelled "Terrorist!" And so on.
