Chastain/APFormer Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin waves to supporters in May,.

A New Hampshire Democrat is under fire after reportedly posting a public death wish for Sarah Palin.

Keith Halloran, a Democratic candidate for state representative in New Hampshire, took a swipe at Palin on Facebook after former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens died in a plane crash on Monday.

Just wish Sarah and Levy were on board, Halloran wrote, apparently taking aim at the former Alaska Gov. and her daughter's ex-fianc e, Levi Johnston.

The New Hampshire Republican party quickly fired back with a statement denouncing the posting.

Mr. Halloran's outrageous comments are a new low, even by the standards of the New Hampshire Democrat Party, a spokesman for the party said in the statement.

His publicly stated death wish for Governor Palin and her family is abhorrent, and has no place in our public discourse.

The New Hampshire GOP is rallying supporters to call New Hampshire Governor John Lynch and Congressional Candidate Ann McLane McLuter and ask them to immediately denounce Mr. Halloran's hateful remarks and demand that he personally apologize to the Palin family.

Halloran, meanwhile, has refused to confirm he wrote the message.

It's just a tempest in their Tea Pot, he told The Associated Press.
