While Reid was their primary target, they had plenty of harsh words for the President, the health care law, government spending, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, socialism and pretty much anything they see as encroaching on their freedom. Since there had been speculation about possible violence and outrageous behavior in Searchlight, the event was comparatively tame - no mob marching down the highway with lit torches or calls for public insurrection against Obama. But rhetorical deviancy and ugly signs abounded - visible during Palin's speech were placards and T-shirts reading "Send Obuma (sic) Back to Kenya," "Harry: Searchlight Needs You, America...
...stating her unvarnished opposition to Obamacare and deriding Democrats, Washington élites and the press. She laughed off the notion that rough language used by some Republicans might incite further acts of aggression, threats and abusive language that have come against legislators in the wake of the final health care vote.

Democrats know it won't be easy to save control of Congress - and Reid's seat - in November. But the passage of health care gives the President's party confidence that they have a fighting chance to keep Palin from commanding her grass-roots army to victory. Don't be surprised if the former Alaska governor, as well as a host of politicians, pundits and the press, use martial imagery to describe events...
