I modified my thread headline to be more specific, since it was apparently at a Palin rally where the most offensive heckle was made.

As much as I would love to make all conservative, bigoted republicans go away... no I would not need that gun to get rid of them.. their deaths on my hands is not worth the bad karma.

It's sad that one ignorant person thought it would be funny but I don't see how it reflects on McCain, his campaign, or the majority of his supporters.
Well, I guess it's not really a big deal when an audience member suggests one of the Presidential nominees should be killed.
Sarcasm aside, I do see what you're getting at--McCain didn't suggest killing Barack Obama. However, his words did seem to muster up the sentiment--albeit unintentionally.
I've been thinking about whether the McCain campaign's distortion of facts, which is obviously aimed at inciting fear in the public or at the very least a grave distrust in Obama, actually does implicate him a little more than "well, it was just some idiots in the crowd." I'm not suggesting McCain's speech should be limited so as to prevent misinterpretations by moron America, such would be unconstitutional. But I do think it's kind of an interesting circumstance. At the very least, it seems irresponsible, no?
(Of course, that is assuming that you believe any alleged connections between Obama and Ayer are fairly innocuous and unthreatening, which I do.)
Could the same argument be made when we combine this with the misinformation circulating that Obama is a Muslim? How about when coupled with charges that he's deeply involved with a domestic terrorist?
Not that I believe someone actually stupid enough to yell something aloud on national television about how a leading governmental figure should be killed would actually be capable of doing it himself...
I dunno, just leaves me with a bad feeling. Not only about the type of campaign McCain is running, but that the American public (or at least a significant portion of it) will not be able to see through the lazy and dishonest tactics.

Lady PjG some beautiful words there from I believe Bob Marley. This Presidential Race is quickly turning into another Bob Marley classic...RAT RACE
Uh! Ya too rude!
Uh! Eh! OH What a rat race!
Oh, what a rat race!
Oh, what a rat race!
Oh, what a rat race!
This is the rat race! Rat race! (Rat race!)
Some a lawful, some a bastard, some a jacket:
Oh, what a rat race, yeah! Rat race!
Some a gorgon-a, some a hooligan-a, some a guine-gog-a
In this 'ere rat race, yeah!
Rat race!
I'm singin' that
When the cat's away,
The mice will play.
Political voilence fill ya city, ye-ah!
Don't involve Rasta in your say say;
Rasta don't work for no C.I.A.
Rat race, rat race, rat race! Rat race, I'm sayin':
When you think is peace and safety:
A sudden destruction.
Collective security for surety, ye-ah!
Don't forget your history;
Know your destiny:
In the abundance of water,
The fool is thirsty.
Rat race, rat race, rat race!
Rat race!
Oh, it's a disgrace
To see the human-race
In a rat race, rat race!
You got the horse race;
You got the dog race;
You got the human-race;
But this is a rat race, rat race!
Peace

Perhaps he didn't say it, but you didn't notice the smug little smirk on his face after he hears it...

I'll say this much if McCain DOES NOT look at Obama in the eye tonight he's sending a clear signal to those who may want to continue their hate towards Obama are going to do so.
Something is clearly wrong there.

It's as if they actually want you to hate the other side. I don't know how many McCain supporters I've spoken with who clearly hate Obama and feel he's an evil person. Now, I don't like McCain by any stretch, but he's not evil, and neither is Obama.
How the hell are we all supposed to get along when we are goaded into this kind of blatant hatred for the other side every election cycle? :mad:
I bet it disgusts McCain that these are his audiences. I doubt he'd ever spend time with these types of people if he weren't campaigning.

"Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy." "
Wow. Classy.
Do you actually think that's funny?

I think it says a lot. You can see that he fights back the urge to smile, suggesting he is quite pleased with the dispicable comments being thrown up by his supporters.

I just can't see how they are going to benefit by attacking the media so much. It's a hard fight to win.
Granted, it gets the base all fired up, but they are voting for them anyway.

I'll tell you what IF he does that tonight I think I would seriously consider voting for him for the first time. That's a balsy move but I DON"T think that he'll do it.

I mean, imagine Joe Biden talking about the divisive nature and dangerous politics of those "redneck, middle-American terrorist sympathizers." I mean, I don't expect Palin to agree with those ACLU-loving progressive liberals, but for Christ's sake, she's a VP CANDIDATE. She is not supposed to seemingly and publicly hate so much of the electorate.
