Raw anger coming from crowds at GOP rallies and McCain, Palin d...

This just goes to show you that scumbags are the ones supporting McCain.

I am hearing the background music of Deliverance as I read this story.
Hello people wake up, we are a culturally diverse society and this is not the 50's.

All voice and no brain. These are the same whack jobs that supported Dumbya.

Politcal pollsters often forget many voters are uneducated and don't read daily newspapers or watch daily newscasts. Otherwise, why would someone call Obama something he is not? That may be the deciding factor in the election: the stupid vote.

The Republican Party continues to attract what is most wrong in our country; the ultra fight wing hate mongers are their mainstay. Republicans continue to want our country to be divided by ignorance and intolerance. Our founding fathers are turning in their graves over this hate and spite republicans have injected and fostered in America. Yes, the time to change is upon us, and none too soon. The master of lies, hate and intolerance, Karl Rove,should be ashamed of how he has attempted to ruin America. Hopefully he and his ilk will not be heard from for a long long time!

Are these "supporters" really Republicans or supporters of Senator McCain? Or are they planted in the audience by others to stir up trouble? Wake up, America!! You have been used before.

Congress takes a vacation in August of 2008 instead of looking at the worst energy crisis that got us in this mess. People will elect the same party. People open your eyes. Listen. There are four branches of gov't. The Judicial, Congress, the President and the LOBBYISTS. One of these braches should not belong. The more things CHANGE the more they stay the SAME.

Always remember who has controlled both houses over the past two years. It's not been the Republicans.

Always remember who controlled both houses from 1994 to 2006, twelve years. It was not the Democrats.

The dogs at Fox News are most responsible for inflaming this kinda of hate and anger. That's their shtick.
They have 6 to 8 million viewers, nearly all of whom rely exclusively on Fox News for all their information and nearly all of whom are right wing, racist, bible thumping, intolerant, morons. As Jon Stewart said, they love America, they just hate half of the people in it.
So Fox gives them what they want: racist, red-wing, scare them to death slanted news. So no suprised these weakminded, hate-filled yahoos are yelling such things like "kill him."
Way to go Fox News

Republicans stoke the fires of fear in order to win, now people really are ready to murder. What happened to the Republicans. Are Republicans ready to do the same thing as the Nazis did – use violence to get their way. Democracy is OK for them as long as no people of color get voted in, shame on the Republicans.

And of the last eight years, who's controlled the White House and both houses of Congress the majority of the time? Do you REALLY think we're in this gigantic mess due to the last two years or the last eight??? As with these enraged McCain supporters, perhaps you should bone up on the facts so you can direct your anger appropriately.
I'm voting for "that one."

The Walmarters are massing with pitchforks and torches.

I do not blame George W. Bush for the last 8 years. I blame those people (a lot of them right wingers) who voted for Bush in 2000 and in 2004.

Now these people are mad at themselves for unleashing Bush on the USA.

These are the same people who show up mad at the McCain rallies.

"I don't trust Obama," a woman said. "I have read about him. He's an Arab."

Are you f'ing kidding me? And I think McCain's response was worse...

"No Mam, he's a decent family man"

Wh-wh-what? So being a "decent family man" automatically eliminates him as an Arab?

Remember only a few years ago when Karl Rove and his henchmorons were talking about creating a period of decades-long rule by the Republican Party, particularly just after the 9-11 attacks?

Then they lied about the WMDs that were supposedly in Iraq. The MAJORITY of Democrats in the US Congress voted against the war. The MAJORITY of Democrats in Congress didn't buy into that WMD crap.(Admittedly fewer than half of the Democrats in the US Congress voted for the war, seeming to indicate agreement that Iraq has WMDs.)

Well, as it all turned out, the Democrats were correct about the WMDs and they were correct that the war in Iraq was a bad idea.

Can anyone imagine how smug and I-told-you-so-ish Bush would be had WMDs been found?

Bush bet his Presidency on his WMD lies. The world soon learned there are no WMDs and that Bush lied.

They have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.

I was fascinated watching McCain trying to tamp down that crowd yesterday. Here is a man who agreed to follow the slimy tactics of advisers who told him they could get him elected. You can see in his face that he plainly understands it was a devil's bargain.

I'm voting for Obama, but I feel sorry for McCain.

You know the Nazi-like attacks came to my mind too being a christian. I would think that Jewish people would be concerned as the 'never again' slogan is not resonating with this GOP campaign. Palin cannot talk about a person being 'not like us' as being nothing but evoking Hitleresque propaganda waged against the Jews "for being different than the Arian-race"....

The actions by the republicans should concern us all. Shame on them because this is low point.

It's small wonder that the McCain campaign is now dealing with this sort of ire. The republican national party has so stirred up the voters with its non-stop slander and outright lies that the people who are for McCain feel that they are in peril if Obama is elected.
It is time for the GOP to dial down the campaign of lies and hatred. They have only succeeded on further polarizing the nation. Their desperation is ruinous to the well-being of america.
Worse yet, for the republicans, this negative campaigning is beginning to turn the uncommitted and independent voters off in a big way.

What is wrong with someone being born an Arabian??? We do not chose our race when we arrive on this planet, God does.
