Butter Wouldn't Melt

By Sniffles

So, let us cats get this straight: Before Tuesday, Barack Obama was a terrorist and a traitor. A sinister figure we couldn't possibly allow to be President.

Now, everything is just swell. In the words of Sarah Palin herself: "God bless Barack Obama and his beautiful family.”

See, this is one the reasons why we disapproved so strongly of the Republicans' over-the-top campaign rhetoric. Because now that they're forced to tone it down, they sound exactly like what they are: utterly insincere people.

But here's the other, more important, reason: Their speeches against Senator Obama were dangerous.

As Newsweek reports: "The Obama campaign was provided with reports from the Secret Service showing a sharp and disturbing increase in threats to Obama in September and early October, at the same time that many crowds at Palin rallies became more frenzied."

We're sorry, but making nice comments now can't erase that.

If we cats ruled the world, we'd arrest John McCain and Sarah Palin for attempting to incite violence.

Especially Sarah Palin.
