  tks mike,

  yes, Palin is dangerous – and so are quite a few others on TV and radio here.
  However, what is more dangerous is that the rantings, lies and propaganda [95% of which is aimed at Obama], has an audience running in to 10, 20 or 30 MILLION per day!
  What the audience fails to see is that the talking heads are basically entertainers and their incitement is the most efficient way of making lots of money at this moment in time, and probably little to do with their personal beliefs.
  It is the vogue now to attack the president – because he is black. This appeals to much of the red neck center and south of the USA [the less educated, rural, rebel areas] who are intrinsically racist at heart. 
  They would dance with glee if he was assassinated. 
  However, if the talking heads thought another topic would be more profitable, they would happily forget Obama and move on to bigger profits - squawking about immigrants for example.

  Over the years the right wing has bought up more and more radio and TV stations with the view to pushing their agenda on the masses, so now there is little or no balance to the air waves – it’s mainly right wing propaganda from limbaugh, beck, hannity, coulter, o’reilly – and many more.
  There is no thought or concern given to the wealth and health of the citizenry. The system has been perverted to churn out objection to any sensible plan that might enhances the man in the street, and therefore at the expense of the fewer and fewer who own more and more of Americas wealth. 
  In the United States, wealth is highly concentrated in a relatively few hands. As of 2007, the top 1% of households (the upper class) owned 34.6% of all privately held wealth, and the next 19% (the managerial, professional, and small business stratum) had 50.5%, which means that just 20% of the people owned a remarkable 85%, leaving only 15% of the wealth for the bottom 80% (wage and salary workers). In terms of financial wealth (total net worth minus the value of one's home), the top 1% of households had an even greater share: 42.7%.............................................................. [Ponder what these figures really mean and think how we got there.]

  Accordingly, the number of people worse off than the year before steadily increases. Are the talking heads concerned about that? – not on your life.
  But the bottom 80% [most of whom vote republican] are brainwashed into thinking they are having a good time – very clever really. Herr Joseph Goebbels the Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany would be very impressed.

  The country was once the land of the free, home of the brave. It is being turned into the land of the paranoid, home of the conspiracy theory while the rich get richer – and few care about the USA and its future.
