    I am scared for Obama, seriously. Who knows what these right wing nut cases are planning when he wins the election.

    But maybe McCain just said 'No, he's not an Arab. And you can trust him, he's a decent guy."

    Exactly. She started her comment with, "I don't trust him." McCain was probably responding to that more than anything.

    Now you may realize why so many of us support Obama. Dennis Kucinich was my first choice, but there is no fucking way I want to see another Rep. in office.

    I would seriously like to have these people removed from the country. They are not worthy of this great land. (especially the loser with the monkey, I may be posting on here from prison if I run into him)

    I just hope Obama changes course with his foreign policy. It may take him 4-6 years, but I think he has a chance to see the light.

    The best part of that is that incessant blond woman who said she first heard of Palin "three years ago." She does realize that Palin only became the governor of Alaska in 2006... right?

    Anyone see that McCain rally? One of his supporters had the mic and said to McCain "I can't trust Obama, he's an Arab...right?"...and the McCain reply? "No, no, He's a decent man" and continued saying something like a family man.

    Class all around,


    As opposed to Arabs who are not decent or family-orientated?

    Some of these McCain/Palin rallies are getting pretty damn ugly. I'm not blaming the candidates for the audiences behavior but I do believe they should have spoke out against this type of rhetoric a bit sooner.

    Prior to this campaign I have always respected McCain. I may have not agreed with him but. judging by his 2000 campaign, he seemed like a man that would not stoop to mud slinging to win an election. This has caused me to believe that the RNC is forcing McCain to run the campaign this way. We saw a glimpse of the real McCain this weekend when he told to crowd that Obama was a good man and the only difference between the two was their stance on the issues. I have a feeling that if the John McCain from 2000 was running today he would be crushing Obama and would easily win this election.

    I agree, but at the same time, the candidates did fuel these fires, they played on the fear people have. A good leader would not do that.

    McCain, used the fear tactic, he's also come to the conclusion that he is not going to get any more votes by playing the fear card so is trying to back away from it, but he's already let the fire burn too long.

    Yeah but the sad part is, how it's considered a smear to call someone an arab or a muslim.

    Then McCain, "no, he's a decent man", because you know, Arabs can't be decent I guess.

    that was my first reaction as well. fucking sad.

    i am also. i think there is a MUCH greater chance of something tragic befalling him or his family, than so-called "riots" by minorities if he loses.

    there may be riots, but i can guarantee you they won't be populated by blacks alone. there'll be plenty of white, brown, tan and beige lower- and middle-income folks royally PISSED OFF that the ignorant, racist, bible-waving backwoods repugnican jugheads stole another election.

    In my opinion, to a larger degree McCain/Palin are the catalysts in projecting these ignorant perspectives with the downright dishonest crap they have said on their campaign trails and in the debates.

    80% of what came out of McCain and Palin's mouth's was complete bullshit with no factual basis, whatsoever.

    I agree that, especially with Palin, the rhetoric coming from the campaign was initiated to bring a certain level of fear or concern about Obama but an individuals actions are still his/her own. Any individual with half a brain would know that most of these accusations leveled against Obama are pretty much misleading or a flat out lie. The individuals screaming these remarks at these functions had hate in them to start with. I don't care how much a candidate is painted in a bad light I would never scream out "kill him". Any one that would consider that an appropriate remark has severe issues and that can't be blamed on the candidates themselves.

    As for the McCain camp I think there is an internal struggle occurring there, and some conservative journalists and commentators have commented on this as well. You have two camps struggling against each other, the McCain team from 2000 against the people he hired for this campaign. I would go as far as saying that McCain isn't even in charge of his campaign anymore.

    I agree with this post entirely. I'm pretty sure I would've voted for McCain in 2000 if he had been the candidate against Gore, and I can't help but think how much better the past eight years would've been had he been in office. But I think he had a bit of a crisis after that 2000 debacle; he realized that if he remained the maverick, and if he didn't engage in the type of politics that had been used against him by Rove, he would never win. And like everyone that runs, he REALLY wants to be president. For all the talk of the momentous event that Obama's presidency is, it has also been the least dramatic presidential campaigns I can remember. McCain's the story here; he seems very uncomfortable with these personal attacks, but he's committed to them anyway, since as a smart politicians he knows he may not win otherwise. I think he's been starting to realize (with his rebuttal of this jackass, and the toning down of his rhetoric on the stump, no more 'palling around with terrorists' junk). He's seen the reports of what those rallies are bringing out of people, and is very uncomfortable. Maybe he's had enough of having his strings being pulled by the Roves and Schmidts of his party...or maybe not. Maybe he wants to win too much.

    It'd make a hell of a film or something, later on down the line.
