The Secret Service investigation into allegations that someone yelled, “Kill him!” at a Sarah Palin rally has found no basis
to the charge. The story, which got picked up by the national media,
came entirely based on the recollection of one man, a reporter for the
Scranton Times-Tribune. No one else at the rally recalls hearing it,
including the Secret Service detail that listens for just that kind of
threat
This was deemed so damaging to Republicans that Barack Obama mentioned
it in last night’s debate. However, only Singleton managed to hear it
in a crowd of thousands. The newspaper says it will stand by its
story, but the reporter never bothered to look around to get a
description of the alleged offender, and never bothered to get
confirmation from the many people standing around him at the time.
