Cries of "Kill Him" heard at an American presidentail rally. Can we get any fucking lower?
John McCain's hand selected second, Sarah Palin, was workin' the crowd in Clearwater, Florida. She was separatin' her audience from their opponent, Barack Obama. While exhortin' the crowd to question Obama's Americanism because of some tenuous connection to a so called 'domestic terrorist', one member of her cheerin' throng suggested killin' him.

How special.

"Kill Him"

Do they force these hate fulled assholes to smoke some right wing form of peyote before they attend her rallies?

"Kill Him"

This is how the supporters of John McCain think?

This is how the asshole governor of Alaska gets cheers?

2. I want to know where the SS was.
At an event such as that SS personnel are at saturation level in the crowd.

I have a friend whose husband is a SS pilot. He flies squads of SS to campaign events.

7. Secret Service
Why didn't the Secret Service protect Obama? The terrorist in Palin's audience should have been arrested on the spot.

8. what do you mean "we"
"We" didn't shout it; they did. "They" are republicans--genetic mutants who are devolving and trying to take us with them.

9. Can we say Mrs. Hitler in high heels?
Killing is the main solution Re-Pubic-Rats have for everything. I mean 'everything'.

The Re-Pubic-Rats mantra is that you're not a man if you don't kill something. Women are to be used and not allowed to really rule anything. Palin is being used to get the Hillary vote and it's not working.

12. Not in cahoots, but definitely "in the same crowd"
Seriously, they should have a video of the crowd and HS needs to use all that face recognition software and find and extraordinarily question whomever shouted that.
That person is a domestic terrorist.

22. Monty Python & The Holy Grail
I don't want to make light of the gravity of the situation. This was hate mongering at its worst. Palin was clearly inciting the crowd and got the reaction the McCain cabal was seeking. McCain took a similar tact during one of his appearances today and got someone in the crowd to shout "he's a terrorist!" Listening to the clip of the speech I fully expected the next shout from the crowd to be "Burn him!" What's next? "He turned me into a newt"?

24. What is with Repubs and their confusion between Patriotism and Nationalism? These
quote brings up so many memories of the Not-so-Swift boat attacks on Kerry. WTF do we teach in schools these days anyway? "My country right or wrong" and f*ck the rest of the quote?

snip>

"These are the same guys who think that patriotism is paying higher taxes -- remember that's what Joe Biden had said. "And" -- she paused and sighed -- "I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way you and I see America, as the greatest force for good in the world. I'm afraid this is someone who sees America as 'imperfect enough' .....

27. The danger of fundamentalism
Which we have all seen- explicitly in almost every single federal agency.

It doesn't have to be like that- though it's going to take a while to set things right.

28. What if They Actually Do It?
What happens then? What do WE do?

The most predictable reaction, a paroxym of rioting in the streets, hands McCain and Palin the election.
Instead, we would have to organize behind another candidate in a matter of days and try to win somehow.
All of our early votes and many absentee votes would be lost in any case.
We would have to rely on outrage driving our people to the polls.

29. Snips I saw showed crowds chanting: "Drill Baby, Drill" followed up by "USA! USA! USA!
Sounded like old clips from Movie Reels of 30's Hitler Rallies to me. It was really disgusting.

33. Anyone see that jackbooted bullethead at the rally?
A "sheriff" (usually a guy not able to get into law enforcement on his own, so he gets himself elected) was onstage calling him Barack Hussein Obama. The guy looked like a storm trooper that even Spielberg couldn't have dreamed of as a thug for "Schindler's List".

34. In the old days, the SS took that kind of stuff very seriously
Edited on Tue Oct-07-08 12:11 AM by RufusTFirefly
When I was in college, a bunch of drunk, under-sexed, knuckle-dragging types at my school sent a vaguely threatening letter to President Carter. They didn't sign their real names, of course. Nor did they provide their address. That didn't stop the SS from knocking on their doors within a week of when the letter was sent.

Of course, since then, the same SS has let the CiC continue to sit unprotected in an elementary school classroom and read a book about a goat while the entire country was under attack.

This is definitely not your father's Secret Service.

35. I'm having a very hard time with this tonight.
I had to work late tonight on a solo project, and spent the last couple of hours I was there dwelling on the repercussions of this.

I cried all the way home. And then I cried some more when I got home.

A very serious line was crossed today, and it does not bode well for our country.
