“Assassination” back on the table?

I know Ms. Clinton knowingly placed assassination on the table. I am now reading both Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin have put assassination back on the table and once again it appears to me Mainstream Media and the U.S. Government are casting a benign eye upon the multitudes trying to flush out someone, anyone, to make a folk hero. Sad.

Excerpt:
I hope yesterday was the low-water mark of civility in the MCain/Palin campaign, but I'm afraid that McCain and Palin may be heading down a dangerous path and that they do not know where it ends. They may actually be 1 step away from being the rallying leaders of a lynch mob. Their inflamatory speech is metaphorically asking their supporters to bring tar, feathers, pitchforks and torches.
