Breaking news: Secret Service investigating threat from Scranton Palin rallyYes, that news should make Sarah Palin and her running mate, John McCain, very proud. They're really riling up their base to the point where the Secret Service has to again investigate a threat made by a Palin supporter:
The U.S. Secret Service is investigating a threatening remark directed at Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama during a political event in Scranton.They didn't need to hear it. They incited it.
The agency followed up on a report in The Times-Tribune that a member of the crowd shouted, "Kill him!" after one mention of Mr. Obama's name during a rally Tuesday for Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
The remark came while congressional candidate Chris Hackett was addressing the crowd at the Riverfront Sports Complex. There is no indication Mr. Hackett or Mrs. Palin, who took the stage a half-hour later, heard the remark.
