The following is a release from the New Hampshire GOP:

Dem NH House Candidate Wishes Gov. Palin Was On Sen. Stevens’ Fatal Plane Crash

CONCORD – The New Hampshire Republican State Committee today denounced Democrat NH House candidate Keith Halloran’s public death wish for former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The Party also called on Governor John Lynch and Congressional Candidate Ann McLane Kuster to personally denounce his hateful remarks and call for him to apologize to the Palin family.

In a Facebook post yesterday regarding the tragic plane crash that killed former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, Halloran wrote, “Just wish Sarah and Levy [sic] were on board.Levi Johnston is the father of Governor Palin’s grandson (RedHampshire, 8/11).

“Mr. Halloran’s outrageous comments are a new low, even by the standards of the New Hampshire Democrat Party,” said NHGOP Communications Director Ryan Williams. “His publicly stated death wish for Governor Palin and her family is abhorrent, and has no place in our public discourse. Governor Lynch and Ann McLane Kuster need to immediately denounce Mr. Halloran’s hateful remarks and demand that he personally apologize to the Palin family.”

Mr. Halloran served on the Rindge, NH planning board. He is running as a Democrat for State Representative this year in Cheshire County House District 7. He describes himself as “an active local citizen and supporter of NH Governor John Lynch” (Jaffrey, Rindge, Dublin Democrats Committee website). Mr. Halloran is also a prominent supporter of Second Congressional District Candidate Ann McLane Kuster.

A little background on Keith Halloran from www.dublinjaffreyrindgedemocrats.org

Keith Halloran, an active local citizen and supporter of NH Governor John Lynch, presently serves on the Rindge Planning Board, the Rindge Ingalls Memorial Library Board of Trustees, and as Vice Chair of the Rindge Democrats.

In recent years, Keith was the founding Secretary of the Rindge Agriculture Committee and author of its Charter, founding Secretary and historical and pictorial archivist of the West Rindge Common Restoration Committee, a Board Member of NH Main Street TEAM JAFFREY, and volunteer fundraiser for the Jaffrey PARK THEATER.

Keith HALLORAN supports NH Governor John LYNCH in our shared respect for New Hampshire’s history & traditions, an emphasis on non-partisan and fiscally responsible approaches to governing New Hampshire today, and targeting priorities for building and safeguarding New Hampshire’s future.

    What a despicable human being this Halloran guy is.

  • thepresslies

    He probably has no birth certifiate either

    Halloran?!?! Sounds suspiciously like Halliburton…this must be Dick Cheney and W's fault!

    Even if you don't like her that is just obscenely wrong.

    Could anyone imagine the size of the firestorm if a Republican officer holder would have said such a disgussing thing of a Democrat governor or former governor? There would be 24/7 national media coverage, if not riots in some cities.

    Halloran is a prime example of what is wrong with Politics today. Can't be a man and confront a problem so wishes someone to die……. Halloran fix the problem do not become part of it……… FIX THE PROBLEM and you will be commended….. A USN VET

    Keith Halloran is a prime example of everything that is WRONG with politics today. He has absolutely no honor or character.

    The people of New Hampshire can help clean up the Nation's politics by resoundingly rejecting this candidate.

    I am a life long Democrat and a friend of Sean and Kevin O'Keefe who were on the plane that crashed. How this moron Halloran could wish death on anyone over petty political differences – of any sort – escapes me. I hope the good people who are eligible to vote for him for for anyone BUT him. He ought to be called upon to apologize not only to Sarah Palin but to Ted Stevens' family and the families of everyone else on the plane. Anything else is to call into question Halloran's ethical and moral fitness to serve in office – any office.

    What a hateful man. He needs to step away from politics. Who would support this idiot?

  • Frank Conrad

    I am not a Palin supporter. At all. But those remarks were beyond irresponsible. Especially for a public figure. I can talk smack because I am nobody special. It's called the Freedom of Anonymity, and I would have to give it up if I wanted to hold a position of power. I cannot believe that Mr. Halloran does not realize this fact. I am more qualified to hold his positions than he is because I realize what the Freedom of Anonymity is and he doesn't. I will accept a dare to say that to his face! Just give me a chance!

  • Jeff Harvey

    He wished openly for a person's death, because he doesn't like her politics. I can't imagine Lincoln wishing death on his three opponents in the 1860 election or either Bush wishing death upon Dukakis, Clinton, Gore or Kerry.

  • quillerm

    There are numerous Democrats that make these hateful irrational comments about those that disagree with their political philosophy. To wish death or physical harm on someone just for political reasons is a sign of mental instability and the person should seek professional care.
