Palin's hate overtones are not falling on deaf ears...

Her audience has stepped it up about 20 notches from stealing yard signs.

A man told today how he was shot three times in a London street for wearing a Barack Obama T-shirt.
Dube Egwuatu was buying a mobile telephone top-up card in an off-licence when the gunman confronted him and glared at the top, which carries an image of the Democrat US presidential candidate underneath the legend 'Believe'.
The man then launched into a tirade of racist slurs, shouting 'I f***ing hate n*****s' and urging 36-year-old Mr Egwuatu to leave the shop with him.

1. If McCain had even one atom of decency he would have immediatly berated the guy that yelled....
"Terrorist".

But alas he has sold his soul and may go down in history as a sad fear mongering, violence inducing, little prick.

3. Its not fear mongering - its blatant racism
and the justice department should get involved before these two idiots spark local riots - its bad enough when Tweety talks about the "white working man's vote" its even worse when the republican party decides to promote an overtly racist agenda. Good Christ on a cracker - you'd think this was 1948 not 2008!
