McCain Rally: He then formed a gun with his hand and made a shooting sound
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL20TdHjX2s

(POTTSVILLE, PA)—In what has become a regular occurrence, dozens of supporters of Senator John McCain shouted racist and hate-filled speech at about 100 demonstrators yesterday in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
One of the McCain supporters was caught on video shouting "Bomb Obama!" repeatedly. When asked what he meant, he said "Get rid of him. I've had a number of people in the... when he gets in the White House..."

He then formed a gun with his hand and made a shooting sound.

The incident was reported immediately to Pottsville Police Captain Richard Wojciechowsky, who said it did not sound serious.

The video later was shown to the Secret Service.

Yesterday’s video, and similar videos from McCain and Palin rallies around Pennsylvania, were shot and produced by Keystone Progress. Keystone Progress is a multi-issue progressive advocacy organization that combines cutting edge online organizing and communications with rapid and hard-hitting earned media strategies.

1. Look at all the scared little Amurkans who once afraid of terrorism,
shall now be included in the group known as "terrorists". Funny that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Krar

The Tyler poison gas plot was an American attempt at domestic terrorism thwarted in April 2003 with the arrest of three individuals in Tyler, Texas and the seizure of a cyanide gas bomb along with a large arsenal that included at least 100 other conventional bombs, machine guns, an assault rifle, an unregistered silencer, and 500,000 rounds of ammunition.<1><2> The chemical stockpile seized included sodium cyanide, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and acetic acid.<1>

The three individuals were linked to white supremacist and anti-government groups. They were:<1>

* William J. Krar, originally from New Hampshire
* Judith Bruey, Krar's common-law wife
* Edward Feltus of Old Bridge, New Jersey

Feltus was a member of the New Jersey Militia. Krar was suspected of making his living travelling across the country selling bomb components and other weapons to violent underground anti-government groups.<1> Federal authorities had their eye on Krar since at least 1995 when ATF agents investigated a possible plot to bomb government buildings, but Krar was not charged.<2> Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks their attention was focused on middle-eastern terrorist activities and were only alerted to Krar's recent activities by accident when he mailed Feltus a package of counterfeit birth certificates from North Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia, and United Nations Multinational Force and Defence Intelligence Agency IDs.<2> The package was mistakenly delivered to a Staten Island man who alerted police.<1>

On May 4, 2004 Krar was sentenced to 135 months in prison after he pled guilty to building and possessing chemical weapons. Ms. Bruey was sentenced to 57 months after pleading to "conspiracy to possess illegal weapons". <3>

3. No matter how many of those videos I see, it's still shocking.
The anger and racism is just disgusting. They won't give up power easily. Obama is so right that they cling to their fears, stoked by McCain/Palin.

7. Voters against McCain just say we don't want him as President - Voters against Obama...
...say they want him dead.

They never said that about Kerry. It's gotta be the racism making the difference now.

8. They said it about Kerry
Just not as openly. They view us - all of us - as people to kill, and relish the thought of getting an excuse, any excuse, to murder a liberal. That they're so open about it now is either a display of racism, or they're so used to getting free passes from the police, the media, and all politicians that they just don't bother trying to keep it quiet.

Remember, Ann Coulter was calling for "Impeachment or assassination" back in the 90's and made millions off of it. it's not new and it's not surprising.

9. If they bring a knife...

If they bring a knife, we bring a gun.

- Barack Obama

If he makes a gun gesture, we'll make an even worse hand gesture.
