Keith Olbermann: Supsend your campaign McCain..

And those who register voters on behalf of Obama are completely separate from him. If McCain should suspend his campaign because of this, Obama should probably be thrown in prison for trying to tamper with election results.

Really? Purposely framing one man as an Islamic terrorist and screaming "kill him" at a rally is the same as wearing a t-shirt?

I'm with you, they're both inappropriate. And, wrong is wrong regardless of who is doing it. But they're still not the same. The intent is not the same either. No one is wearing a t-shirt that says "Sarah Palin is a Cunt" and inciting other members of a rally to kill her.

Both are wrong, definitely. A t-shirt is an actual statement in writing, that someone actually put thought into, manufactured, and wore. Screaming "Kill him" could be more of a heat-of-the-moment type of thing-- this takes place at political rallies where people yell, scream, and get incredibly passionate over all sorts of stupid bullshit. People regret things they blurt out all the time. There's so much less of a margin for error between a person's brain to their mouth (screaming out stupid shit), and a person's brain to their hand in designing a t-shrit, which then calls someone to order the material and explain the design, drives to pick it up, and then decides pretty consciously to wear it. Even if you weren't the designer of the shirt and made an impulse buy, you'd still have to actively decide to wear it. Shit, you'd even look in the mirror before you left that house, as most people would.

As awful as screaming "Kill him! Terrorist!" is, I don't think you could prove that the person who screamed it actually really even meant it, unless they admitted to it. Of course what was said is worse than calling someone a "cunt," but the t-shirt people have a clearer intention against their foe, in my opinion.

This shit IS getting ridiculous either way.

You must be kidding.. because you can not be serious..

How exactly is Obama tampering with election results? I am really interested in knowing.. because I know you can not be thinking he is responsibe for some one hired to get people registered and is paid PER registration.. that is just asking for mistakes and something Obama is not responsible for WHAT-SO-EVER.

I do not think he is responsible for it. I also don't think McCain is responsible for someone yelling out their beliefs about his opponent or their desire for McCain to win the race in a blowout.

Also, one of the states that this whole voter registration fraud is taking place is Ohio. It is illegal to pay per registration in Ohio.

You still did not answer the question of why exactly he should be thrown into jail for tampering with election results...

I was drawing a parallel between the two. He should not be thrown in jail just like McCain should not be called on to suspend his campaign.

OH BS....His VP's been spreading hate..down right hate in every well scripted stump speech she's made...with McCain standing idly by.

I'm though wondering if the idiots in the cunt shirts aren't Republicans playing it up.

And Obama paid ACORN $800,000 for voter registration. Once again, I do not believe that Obama is responsible for these actions just as I don't believe that Governor Palin's pointing out Senator Obama's lack of qualification can be blamed for these people who use unfortunate language and scream false allegations.

We're talking about spreading hate...and McCain and Palin are using that as their core strategy.

Nothing wrong with Obama Spending $800,000 in voter registration. Show me where he's in anyway responsible for doing anything wrong....come on now.

Now as to Palin..she was just proven to be unethical...from bi-partisan committee in her own state. That speaks volumes.

Want more hate, more Rove crap...vote for McCain Palin. Woo hoo.

We need to move into a new direction...away from hate...away from dividing people in this world to garantee the war machine future riches.

Palin "Who is this Barak Obama" "He's not one of us." Yea loosley quoted, but you get the idea.

McCain "that one" yea it could have been harmless...its just the pattern. Play on the ignorant bigots in this country...the Rove Strategy. Woo hoo...

At what point have I said that Senator Obama had any involvement in wrongdoing? I believe I have gone out of my way to say that he has not.

The rest of this post has absolutely nothing to do with anything else that I have posted and is more of a slanted talking point than a real argument.

Obama supporters: "Let's find every single word that could be twisted and somehow fake offense to it." Loosely quoted, but you get the idea.

Thank you. Then you would agree that those people who Obama hired to illegally register people multiple times in swing states are his responsibility. I disagree but I do respect our difference here.

NMyTree

Obama had nothing to do with that.

That's been proven, already.

And I'm not even an Obama supporter.
