Speaking in Bethlehem PA, Governor Palin interrupted her praise of John McCain to reply to a shout of "He's the man!" by someone in the crowd with "Yes, he is the man!"

Later, someone else yelled "Sarah, you're so hot!" and Ms. Palin laughed and asked, "What does that have to do with anything?"

Now, this doesn't "prove" that SP also heard the cries of "Treason!" and "Kill him!" that came out of the crowds she was whipping up with her inflammatory "Obama launched his campaign in [Ayers's] living room" speeches these past couple of days, but her hearing the crowd so well today does, IMO, cast doubt on the "well, maybe she just didn't hear them" leeway she's been getting, and if she did hear the "Kill him!" yell, then her failure to put a stop to that is reprehensible.  JMO.

(McCain, in contrast, did not seem to hear things that individuals in the Bethlehem crowd shouted; he only stopped to acknowledge audience reaction when chants, such as "Drill, baby, drill!" were taken up by larger groups.)
