Wikipedia says this magazine's headquarters is west of downtown San Francisco [in the Pacific Ocean?].....surprised? not..... I have to wonder how this sleazeball operation makes enough money to stay in business..... |

Liberal online political magazine Salon.com (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salon.com) published a letter to the editor Friday that called for the murder of 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. "If a conservative site had published a letter calling for the same kind of treatment of Barack Obama, you can bet the FBI, CIA and SS [Secret Service] would be on your doorstep in a millisecond. But, since it's JUST Sarah Palin....it's ok. And they have the nerve to call us names."--Comment by phthaloblu Lets hope that legal action will follow - but I doubt it.
. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salon Publishes Call for Torture-Murder of Sarah Palin Liberal online political magazine Salon.com published a letter to the editor Friday that called for the murder of 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Pareene snarkily sums up the GMA interview: "The interview was basically split into a couple of distinct sections: How awesome is your family, how bad is Barack Obama, how awful are people who criticize you, and how awesome is America?" The first letter published in response to the article calls for Palin to be electrocuted by a cattle prod by convicted dog abuser Michael Vick: "Vick gets a pet to torture and we get rid of Palin. A win-win for everyone!" Michael Vick, the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is a convicted felon who spent time in prison for dog fighting and animal cruelty. That letter has apparently sat in the pole position under the article in the Letters to the Editor section since it was posted "Friday, December 17, 2010 12:33 PM ET." The Letters section for the GMA article lists 65 letters published over four pages. Each letter has a "flag" button to call attention to Salon editors about objectionable comments. It seems no one at Salon finds it objectionable for the site to publish an explicit call for murder. Salon's Editor in Chief Joan Walsh is a regular on MSNBC and CNN. Will Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough or Wolf Blitzer attack Walsh for prominently publishing a call for the murder of Sarah Palin? Will Walsh do the right thing and publicly apologize to Palin and pull the letter? How soon will the Democratic Party front group Media Matters for America come along and slurp up this large chunk of vomit from Salon? | | |
