Boorish Behavior

It is extremely discomfiting to witness (via video, of course) the boorish behavior of Sarah Palin and her admirers. Everyone has their own notion of what being a "Christian" means, but how is shouting out to "kill him, kill him" at a campaign rally unlike the crowd shouting out to Pilate, "Crucify him, crucify him"? I think it is dangerous incitement, and this is not something Palin should wink and nod at, even if, being unable to intelligently communicate in the English language, that's her preferred style of communication. Assuming that the "Kill him" stuff was spur-of-the-moment crowd stuff, she should have noted it and condemned it, which she still hasn't, so I'm assuming it's all right with her. Religious intolerance and bigotry is dangerous no matter who it's practiced by, and is what our founding fathers tried to protect against. Christians may have been among the founders of the United States, but the United States was not founded as a Christian nation, despite the mythical claims of the religious extremists of today. Using religion to gain power and further one's agenda is nothing new, but I must say the sheer brazeness of Palin shocks the conscience -- mine, anyway.
