Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog —
If a evidence of a death threat is never found, but liberal reporters think they heard it, does Obama get to politicize it? Newsweek reports an anonymous Secret Service official is none too happy Obama brought up rumors of an unfounded death threat made against him at a McCain-Palin rally during the last presidential debate. NEWSWEEK : "All the public reports suggested," Obama said, that people shouted "things like 'terrorist' and 'kill him'." Making a death threat against a presidential candidate can be a crime.
