Hating Obama
Ben Smith's Blog — The base, at least as sampled exchanging insults with Obama supporters outside a McCain event in Youngstown, PA earlier this month, really, really hates Obama. Rep. Michelle Bachman, below on Hardball, reaches more or less into the same kitchen sink.

McCain's Legions
Talking Points Memo — If you thought those McCain-Palin crowds were feral inside the auditoriums, they've even more rancid waiting in line to get in ...

Does Robin Hayes Endorse Hate?
BlueNC - The people's think tank — How about Elizabeth Dole? We probably should ask Virginia Foxx whether she endorses the hatred shown by McCain/Palin supporters while we're at it. We can also check with Paul Stam. The words being shouted by these people go beyond poor taste. This is sheer unadulterated hatred. Do North Carolina Republicans feel comfortable with this level of hate? Obviously they not only feel comfortable, but they participate as was witnessed in Elon when a reporter was attacked simply because he chuckled. That reporter was white. What would have happened if he had been black? Which North Carolina Republican candidate will be the first to come out and ...

One of These Things Is Not Like the Other
The Mahablog — Never underestimate the ability of the Right to stoke its victim complex. Headline at Pajamas Media: Obama Supporter Assaults Female McCain Volunteer in New York As the media fumes over nonexistent hate at Palin speeches, it ignores leftists who go berserk on city streets. Oleg Atbashian writes, While the Democrat-leaning media continues to scare undecided voters with bedtime stories about some mythical angry McCain supporter whom nobody has seen, here is a real district attorney’s complaint documenting an unprovoked assault by an enraged Democrat against a McCain ...

Can You Be Associated With This?
Booman Tribune — I saw John McCain tell David Letterman the other night that the people causing problems at his rallies are just a few fringe nuts, and that every political rally has a few of those. Fair enough, it's true that politics attracts some rather extreme people. Most of the people attending McCain-Palin rallies are probably decent people, right? Most of them would never call Barack Obama a terrorist, compare him to terrorists, make racist remarks, or threaten violence. Right? Maybe so. But I want you to take a look at this video from Johnstown, Pennsylvania in John Murtha's district. Now, I know that watching that was really unpleasant. But I want you to think ...

The Party Of Palin
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan — The fringe of the GOP's base. Not pretty:  

Weep For This Country
Comments from Left Field — From Maha: These can be disheartening times.  Think about it for just a moment; it’s 2008.  When I was a kid I thought we would all be zipping around in our flying cars.  War was supposed to be obsolete, equality should have been the norm, not something we still have to strive for, and poverty was supposed to be something you only read about in history books. It wasn’t the future I was promised, I’ll admit that much, but it was the future I hoped to grow up in, and it amazes me sometimes to look at the year ...

I Guess I’m Not Supposed to Say This, But…
I Am TRex — Look how fat, stupid, and ugly they all are. No wonder they’re pissed. They have to wake up to themselves every morning.

McCain-Palin's People
Hoffmania! — McCain's proud of them. We're running against a lot of this. We MUST ALL VOTE and send these subhuman cowards back to their caves.

A Lesson
Balloon Juice — Cause: Text from McCain Robo-calls “You need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, a judge’s home, and killed Americans,’’ a McCain robo-caller tells voters. And Democrats will enact an extreme leftist agenda if they take control of Washington. Barack Obama and his Democratic allies lack the judgment to lead our country.” “I’m calling on behalf of John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama and his Democrat allies in the Illinois Senate opposed a bill ...

Nick Antosca: Drudge Ad Links Obama to Mohamed Atta
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — Consider this ad running today at the top of the Drudge Report: ********************** ********************** Paid for by the National Republican Trust PAC, a right-wing hit group, this ad shows Mohamed Atta's driver's license superimposed on a Scary Black Man shot of Barack Obama. Really, Drudge? You accepted an ad running a picture of Obama beside the picture and name of a 9/11 hijacker? In fear of a filibuster-proof Democratic supermajority on November 4th (apparently within reach, but I'll believe it when I see it), the right wing has gone running to the basement to dig out every knife, whip, and cudgel it ...

Great moments with the party of ideas
Corrente — Thank goodness partisanship is off the table. So glad we kept funding the war, legalized warrantless wiretapping, spit on the establishment clause, and kissed Paulson’s ass, so we could win over these fine folks! (via)

The Ugly American Goes to a Rally
Brilliant at Breakfast — These are people waiting to get into a Sarah Palin rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, October 11, 2008: I'm ashamed that these people live in my country. I'm ashamed that generations of American young people have died fighting for the United States and the American Dream and this is into what the ...

Barack Obama invented abortion
pandagon.net - we are the public option — by Amanda Marcotte I have to admit that I’m somewhat shocked that the McCain/Palin campaign---in addition to running with the “Obama is a terrorist” lie---has picked up the “Obama supports infanticide” lie, and are putting it out in their robocalls.  As John Cole says, here’s the results: It’s interesting, because the infanticide slur is so obviously bullshit.  I mean, so is the stuff about him being a secret Muslim or a terrorist, but at least in that case, you can say, well, terrorists exist and so do Muslims, and Obama has ...

Heckling voters
Political Animal — HECKLING VOTERS.... I've seen comedians get heckled at comedy clubs. I've seen athletes get heckled at sporting events. I've never even heard of voters getting heckled. And yet, McCain/Palin supporters keep finding new and creative ways to undermine democratic norms. The Washington Times , a self-described conservative paper, reported today ...

Socialism is Racist?
Newshoggers.com — By BJ Well at least according to some guy at the Kansas City Star The "socialist" label that Sen. John McCain and his GOP presidential running mate Sarah Palin are trying to attach to Sen. Barack Obama actually has long and very ugly historical roots. J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI from 1924 to 1972, used the term ...
