McCain/Palin have people at thier rallies who have said things that are clearly wrong, and that is a reflection on McCain... It is his fault because he talked about real relationships that Obama has.

However, you have never once heard any connection between the radical left distroying businesses in St. Paul during the RNC and liberalism in general or Barak Obama in particular.

That really bothers me. On the right, you have folk saying things like "he is muslim" and "off with his head". On the left you have hundreds of people being tossed in jail for distruction of private property as they protest John McCain and Republicans.

the conservitives reflect all that is wrong with the Republican party yet these radical leftists arent even the slightest reflection on Barak and the Democrats.

that really bugs me.

You would probably have to go as far as the White Supremists and KKK and other groups like that to find that level of extremism and terrorism. I was just stating in this thread what I have heard as the basis of any criticism of the role that McCain/Palin attacks may play in some of what has been shouted or observed as the underlying sentiments of some (certainly not all) of their supporters.

I was waiting for someone else to hop in and make a conversation of it but...

Bro. I honestly believe these critisims against McCain/Palin are simply to get people to stop talking about Obamas associations.

the fact that some knucklehead behaved as knuckleheads do is just icing on the cake.

The same people who are blasting McCain for going negaitve and pointing out these extreme supporters interviewed one of McCains jailors at the Hanoi Hilton and acutally had the audacity to put it in a news story on NBC.

That guy claimed McCain was treated humainly. I guess they were just being balanced and getting all the sides.

it is frustrating to watch what is being done by the media.

Not only because of the financial debaucle but also how the MSM is putting Obama in office - that is, IMO, why some of McCain's voters are so angry.

I'm not angry, but I'm very frustrated about it.

It is videos like these of McCain/Palin supporters that are making their rounds and making people wonder whether this has gone far beyond simply politics and candidates and whether the rhetoric of the campaigning has uncovered and tapped into other things. Personally, I thought the monkey was a particularly classless touch.
