I was worried about this guy at some parts. It almost looked like they were gonna beat him up

Listen closely after McCain asks "Who is Barack Obama?".

It's hard to catch the person yelling "KILL HIM!" during the Palin speech, but it's there. I think they go on to talk about other things people have heard coming out of the rallies.

I think this reflects poorly on McCain not because of the nuts attending their rallies, but the fact they didn't say anything about these inflammatory remarks until Friday. I don't see why they didn't both say something to distance themselves from those comments, at least, or at best act respectful and dignified by talking them down.

Sorry but the youtube tags won't work for me.

The McCain campaign is responsible for this hate speach.

I think the McCain campaign has been whipping up the anger at their rallies, and it is getting out of hand. They have been using incendiary tactics, and their audiences are responding to it, probably more strongly than they expected. The whole line the McCain campaign has been pushing lately is that we don't really know who Obama is. They've been trying to make more out of the Ayers terrorism link than there really is. And they have been tolerating the hate speech as well. They have a responsibility to keep themselves and thier rallies under control.

Here is what I have seen: During the introductions at the rallies, you have people continuing to refer to Obama as Barack Hussein Obama. Then you have Sarah Palin come on and refer to William Ayers and say things like Obama "Pals around with terrorists." Then McCain comes on and makes vague references to Obama's "secrets" and asks "Who is the REAL Barack Obama?" And the answer they get back from the mob after whipping up the hate is "terrorist", "traitor", "Arab", "Kill him", "Off with his head!"

How can they be surprised at this behaviour when they are fanning the flames themselves? If they keep going down this route, soon the answer from the crowd is going to be "" and "lynch him!"

McCain is killing his own camapign with this crap. This is the worst run campaign I have ever seen, and now it is getting ugly and hateful. I was never going to vote for McCain, but I had respect for him and his service to the country --- and now I am completely losing all of that respect for him. The most important asset that McCain has is his HONOR. If he doens't step up and put a stop to this, he will have no honor left.

They are the ones who let this genie out of the bottle, and they are going to have a tough time stuffing it back in.

Republicans ashamed to have "Republican" next to their names on ballot The Democratic party in Washington state is SUING to force Republican candidates to use the word "Republican" as their party designation on the ballot! Turns out that Republicans' poll numbers are better if they use something other than "Republican!" The challenger for the governor's seat wants his party desingation to be "GOP Party," because it polls better than "Republican." Ha ha! Maybe if he really wants to win, he should just have them put "Democrat!" Maybe McCain should try this and Rating: 5
