What offensive statements and t-shirts have been heard and seen at Obama rallies?

Obama in debate III said he felt justifiably upset when at mccain rallies supporters said "kill obama" and "terrorist" and that no one in mccain's campaign did anything to suggest those comments were out of line.

mccain responded that at obama rallies statements and comments had been made and shouted that made him uncomfortable, and he specifically mentioned that some "tshirts" were offensive.

what is he referring to? why didnt he specifically mention what was said at the rallies or what was on these shirts that was so offensive?

    It is true.

    It was picked up by ABC, Politico, etc...

    It is. And while it's not as bad as "Kill him" and stuff, it's pretty lame. Obama would not have necessarily had the opportunity during his event to say anything (as he likely would not notice), he could have said something afterward about how "that's not what my campaign is about."

    I think the abort Palin shirts are pretty bad too. Not that I agree with her at all, but aborting a living person is akin to murder.

  • certainly not something thats appropriate, true, but if thats what mccain is refering to, its hyposcrisy at its best as mccain called his wife that same word publicly and insinuated she was a whore.

    You are right. And I think that probably has something to do with why those people put C*nt on those shirts. From the book The Real McCain:
    "At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days."

  • It wasn't at an Obama rally but I saw a guy wearing a shirt with a fighter jet that said.... McCain's abortion plan: Bomb those babies

    There is a 4x8 sign in Illinois painted with Obama in a clown costume and the caption on it says, "NO BROZOS". It is also surrounded by barbed wire.

    Come on man, seriously? Do you have to say crap like that?

    it's just not cool ...

    Politico reports that they are Libertarians supporting Obama ... whatever ...

    Free speech is one thing, but how anyone who is supposedly interested in politics thinks this HELPS the progression of this country is just plain stupid.

    By the way, they are selling them too ... unreal.

    I always wonder why people who aren't libertarian like to call themselves Libertarians. A libertarian isn't going to support someone who calls for nationalized heathcare, who votes for the Patriot Act, who isn't opposed to wiretapping citizens, etc...

    I agree with your other points.

    Maybe he/she is from the UK. It's not such an offensive word here.

    I could call Sarah Palin a cunt here quite easily and most people wouldn't be too shocked. I won't though, I don't know her. I will say that she scares me though. Fucking NRA hunter-types should not be allowed anywhere near power.

    It's the same as when non-straight ticket voters call themselves "independents".
