McCain incites the worst kind of hate calls at rally

Smartypants

The point is that he clearly heard it and didn't say anything. He knows that's not true. He could've at least given a little "No, no...settle down" gesture or something.

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.

This type of shit makes me think twice about writing in "Ron Paul" and voting for Obama just to spite all the racists and the secret racism that exists in some people's heart.

I can sacrifice my politics just to mind fuck those ass holes for the next four years.

Jesus, this is getting very screwed up...I hope this entire article is a fabrication of the liberal media.

"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." "

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.

Obama needs to ask McCain if he thinks hes a terrorist outright at the debates tonight.

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

i think i saw roland in that audience.

Brilliant I can see which side of the fence you're on. What's so funny about this, do you get off on this?

Wow...I've been youtubing some of these recent solo Palin rallies and it is kind of surprising. There's no doubt that presidential elections have alot of malice and anger involved in them, but in watching these recent speeches, I cannot think of a presidential or vice presidential candidate who has been so openly contemptous of such a large portion of the electorate. It's striking and kind of frightening to see that amount of open hatred on the part of a possible nominee. Take McCain; he clearly has no love for Obama, but you don't regularly see him display outright contempt for those New York liberals, those East-coasters. Sure, you hear him talk about the liberal media elite (what else is new), but Palin goes even further. She not only inspires supporters to love her, she is inspiring supporters to hate not only the opposing candidate, but the opposing political side. That's happened in the past before, but I can't remember a nominee in recent history overtly pushing that forward.

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.

that's because sarah palin is an ignorant, in-bred, backwater cunt, hence her appeal to the ignorant, in-bred, backwater masses. no offense to smart cunts out there.

This is so upsetting to me. I just don't know what to say to this. How can people act like this?

edit -
okay - I'm going to send another donation to Obama right now, and I think I'll go send some to the NAACP too - I'm already a member.

I'm not so sure she's stupid. I'm starting to feel that she is much more dangerous than that. I'm not worried about this year; I'm worried about when she runs in 2012. I know that modern politics may be relatively restrained (hell, we've had presidential candidates accused of murder in the past), but I cannot remember a nominee in my lifetime that has inspired contempt not only for a candidate, but for his supporters, what they believe and what they represent. There's a difference between passionate disagreement against a portion of the electorate and a burgeoning hatred of the electorate, and I feel Palin, of the four candidates in the race and the many candidates of recent history, have crossed that line. Maybe I'm forgetting such hateful speech from the recent past. I mean, even the gay marriage debates of 2004 were not framed as contempt for homosexuals (although I'm sure that was a reason for some social conservatives). I don't remember seeing anything like this before.

I agree that she might be preparing herself for 2012 but if she continues with such speeches she may just sink herself that year too.

I think the McCain/Palin party (and some of their mentally disturbed and moronic loyalists) have proven themselves to be one of the most single-minded, vicious, ignorance-pandering parties to ever litter the surface of this country.

What a bunch of knucke-headed, dumb-fuckers.

you have to be fucked in the head to think that's funny.

but then again you have to be even more fucked in the head to be at a McCain rally and even more so to vote for him.

thanks for proving our point and doing your part to devolve our species.
