McCain-Palin Rallies: The Worst Hits (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
With three weeks to go in the election, the current, most influential narrative is that the crowds at John McCain events have become so vitriolic as to represent an electoral liability.
In response, the McCain camp has spent several days defending itself from what the Senator deemed the "fringe" elements of his rallies. On CNN this Monday, McCain claimed that Obama crowds had called him a terrorist as well.
The frame, however, seems difficult for McCain to move, in part because it is backed by documentary evidence. On Tuesday, Brave New Films and Color of Change (one of the nation's most influential Black American political ...

McCain Campaign Collapsing-- What Will Be Tomorrow's Hail Mary Pass?
DownWithTyranny! —
McCain is getting desperate as polls show state after state slipping from his grasp. How soon before Utah is a battleground state? A friend of mine in Phoenix told me that if Obama decided to challenge him in Arizona he could probably win there too. McCain's biggest ally in the Arizona congressional delegation, the corrupt and contemptible rubber stamp John Shadegg, just saw his own race downgraded, as Democrat Bob Lord beat him in two consecutive televised debates. The conventional battleground states are all rejecting McCain's unsteady hand, his extremism, his erratic approach to problems and, most of all, the cynicism and bad ...
Robert Greenwald: Tell McCain to End the Politics of Hate
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
We'd like to talk about the pressing issues facing our country: the woeful economy, rising unemployment, the housing crisis, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But we can't talk about them because John McCain and Sarah Palin have distracted us with the politics of hate and fear. Instead of discussing the real issues plaguing Americans, McCain and Palin have turned to fear-mongering and race-baiting, stoking the prejudices of their supporters. The situation has become so critical that we've teamed up with Color of Change to put an end to these dangerous mob scenes. ...

When will McCain/Palin finally choose to end the politics of hate?
pandagon.net - we are the public option —
by Pam Spaulding
I’m not holding my breath in these last desperate weeks waiting for an end to it, but Brave New Films and The Color of Change are calling for McCain/Palin to condemn the hate and fearmongering being perpetrated by those angry mobs of supporters. They stoked the fires and now we see this:

The Hate Talk Express
Daily Kos —
Hey John McCain! When your campaign has chosen a running mate whose pals back home are racist, anti-government far right-wing extremists, it's no surprise what sort of dangerous fanatics will continue to show up at her rallies: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, made her first Scranton appearance today at Riverfront Sports Complex. She took the stage joined by her husband Todd and country singer Lee Greenwood. Gov. Palin spoke to a standing-room-only crowd for just over 30 minutes. [...] 1:25 p.m. [Congressional candidate] Chris Hackett addressed ...

Is it time for liberals to arm ourselves?
HorsesAss.Org —
It is a fact that there are folks out there who actually believe that Barack Obama is an Arab, a Muslim, a terrorist, a communist or some combination of all four, and who believe that those of us who describe ourselves as progressive, liberal or even as nondescript Democrats, are traitors and appeasers who represent a clear and present threat to the security of the republic. Add to that the Republican Party’s far-right evangelical base, a constituency that fervently believes that all those who do not believe as they do will be condemned by God to suffer eternal torment, and you have the real ...
ZP Heller: McCain "Categorically" Proud of Hateful Rally Attendees
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
"Traitor!" "A terrorist!" "Off with his head!" "Bomb Obama!" Those are just some of the hateful, bigoted, xenophobic, cries that have been spewed at McCain-Palin rallies in recent weeks. We can hear these cries loud and clear, and so can McCain, even though he chooses to ignore them. Until now, both he and his running mate have remained silent, providing tacit approval for a growing atmosphere of violence along the campaign trail. Even when confronted directly about this damnable inflammatory rhetoric, McCain weasels his way out of any accountability. During ...
