Is McCain/Palin actively TRYING to get Obama killed?

[Political Heretic]

Seriously.

I guess I see that now today McCain is backtracking and trying to clam crowds that HE and PALIN deliberately stirred into this frenzy and ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED.

Crowd shouts out "terrorist" about Obama - nothing.

Crowd shouts out "Kill him!" about Obama - nothing.

Crowd shouts out "traitor" about OBama - nothing.

Crowd shouts out "off with his head!" about Obama - nothing.

Crowd harasses journalists covering their rally, after Palin blames the media for her poor performances. Member of crowd knocks mic boom out of black cameramns hand and tells him "Sit down, boy" (yes this happened, reported on NPR) - NOTHING.

Now all the sudden...McCain's suddenly taking the high road?

I can't believe how despicable this asshole turned out to be.

(I also can't believe how many people *HERE* on DU used to defend him)

1. My answer is yes....

2. I honestly believe McCain had no idea

until he was sat down bu the Secret Service to have it explained to him.

I further believe that what the Secret Service explained to him scared the living shit out of him.

5. I'm thinking you are right

After all, McCain is old enough to remember the 60s and what happened then.

and it is very difficult to get it back in the bottle.

6. A: Yes, he is. (n/t)

7. No. I do not think that.

I think the Secret Service put an end to some terrible advice McCain got from his aides and Palin.

8. Yes. And It is very disgusting that they are doing this.

9. McCain is like a sly attorney....get the witness to say something you WANT the jury to hear

...but know that its going to get over-ruled by the judge... Damage is DONE...and he thinks that 3 days later, saying that Obama is a good Christian family man...not an Arab? C'mon...he's been in politics for 25+ years remember...he's NOT new to this...he's the Mav'WRECK...

this is so blatantly disgusting...

This is what I’m gonna hear from my right wing “friends”: so i put on fox news and apparently mccain was taking up for obama today...wow, isn't that what i just wished for!! yippee… :puke:

10. Slow down

I do agree that McCain has gone too negative, and his rally's are starting to get scary, but it doesn't mean that he is trying to get Obama killed. McCain (more likely Palin) has took his campaign to far and is starting to back off.

11. Yes. They know they can't win in a fair fight.
