Sarah Palin knows what's going on, because she reads ALL THE PAPERS! /s
Non Violent!? They were calling for the hanging/execution of several politicians, with instructions and directions to go get them! 6 people DIED!!! Those that were truly non violent, got much more lenient penalties than the 17-22 years the leaders got.
Sarah Palin is batshit insane calling these people good guys.
When McCain chose her I remember thinking, "They've thrown out the last of the few principles they had. The nutjobs will be the new GOP norm".
IIRC, McCain didn't even want her on the ticket, but he did go along with it--embracing the crazy to try and get more votes. There were many missteps that led to today's chaos, but I always felt this was a big turning point.
