McCain-Palin Rallies Becoming Very Ugly and Scary

Sarah Palin started this with trying to make out that Barack Obama "pals around with terrorists". Now it's gotten to the point of people in the crowds screaming, "Terrorist!" and "Kill him!"

You just don't DO this. NOT in America. NOT against public figures especially. That's calling for assassination. Look how everyone jumped on Hillary Clinton back in the Primaries when she alluded to something possibly "happening" to Barack Obama just as something had "happened" to Bobby Kennedy. The press really jumped on her for that and rightly so.

Someone, someone in authority maybe, should be telling the McCain-Palin campaign that you CAN'T hold these hate rallies. This is like Nazi Germany. McCain is ALLOWING this kind of thing to blossom at his rallies.

I never thought I would see this in America, 21st century America.This is like a lynch mob...and that of course goes back to the terrible racial overtones of all this. This is frightening and disgusting.

Here. Go here.

I think you've nailed it.

Particularly your statement about never thinking it would happen in 21st century america. or that lynch mobs would not only be overlooked, they'd be celebrated. On a night with a debate taking place in Nashville, TN, a place that is not exactly friendly to minorities, particularly minorities running for President. I discovered that when I was back there in July. Ugly, hideous stuff.

Re: I think you've nailed it.

Thank you for your comment--it means a lot to me, as I see you as a pro at this stuff.

Keith Olbermann said last night that the Secret Service is looking into the "Kill him!" incident and others ("Terrorist!" and "Treason!"). DH said Palin should be charged with inciting to riot.
