    Yes; all campaigns do is get messages out about platforms of each party and candidate quality of each party. Regardless of what each campaign does, the voter base is still split.... hence, divided. Yes, the 2004 election was much much more hatefilled than this.

    As for the "kill him" crap. So a few idiots this go around make it more devisive in aggregate? That argument is very very weak.

    How was the 2004 election more hatefilled? I don't remember any specifics other than maybe the Daily Show or Letterman cracking jokes at the conservatives expense.

    Dead on accurate. I don't see the term divide as appropriate. But, if there's an instigator involved in this political race it's the media.

    How about race baiting? Does that count?

    Fox news executive vice-president John Moody's statement:

    "If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain’s quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting."

    No, the media reports on Palin spewing her bullshit....they never actually report into what she is actually spewing. The media would rather report on Palin's wardrobe or pregnant daughter rather then Obama's association with Ayers or Obama's ACORN. They dwell on Palin's mistakes and turn a cheek at Biden when he goofs......but whatever......the media drew a dividing line in the ground during the 2000 election.

    Missed you Pepper glad to see you back here. The media broadcasts what sells and brings in viewers and many time what NOW drives that is what's happening on the internet.

    In all honesty I did not miss this place...to many blind followers...but just thought I would poke my head in...been gone because my wife and I finally had our baby so he has been keeping us busy

    I can understand that well congratulations on your baby they can certainly take up lots of concentrated time. Leaves much less for sleep. I've been there and it's a special time so enjoy it, it WILL fly by quicky.
