Did I call for her assassination? Did I call her a terrorist?

Change the subject, dodge, refuse to condemn racism and xenophobia...

What do you think of the McCain supporters in the videos, Anti Hero? Do you agree with the sentiments expressed?

I guess I'll be waiting for a while to read you express disapproval...

<crickets chirping>

"You're just thin skinned because you can't handle a bunch of knuckledraggers call him a terrorist and advocate his assassination."

ing pathetic. You're just ing pathetic. Even DarrinS managed a grudging disapproval.

It's amusing that people think Obama is so hateful toward white people or America. If you actually follow the lineage of his family history, the one person he has the most reason to be angry at is his black father, who abandoned the family.

But from what I understand (I haven't read his books - I'm not a big fan of the autobiography) if anything, he comes across as pretty accepting and positive about his family narrative, and there's a noticeable lack of anger. One could speculate that he's worked through all that, which would be good. Or that his family was strong enough (his WHITE FAMILY, let's note) to make up for the loss of his father.

I can't control them homie. Why would I care what they say?


People arguing issues are easily dismissed by the hard-ons for Obama. It takes vocal rednecks to stir up?

[Wild Cobra]

Keep trying. You won't get anywhere.

OK, I understand that responce to mean that Obama gets a pass on his racism beacuse he is black?

You haven't provided any evidence to back up your assertion that Obama is racist. This isn't Free Republic, you don't get to throw at the wall and assume it will just stick.

Read his first book. It will change your mind.

Do you agree with the sentiments expressed in the videos? You didn't answer the question. Why not? Is it so hard to say "I'm a McCain supporter, but I can't get behind this?"

Apparently it is.

Good. Don't believe me. Read his first book.

Yes, Obama hates white people, including his mother and grandparents.

Why would I play this childish "I denounce blah blah blah"

People say what they will. Just words, just speeches.


Also, probably because I don't support McCain.

It's pretty simple...I didn't like people poking around Sarah Palin's private life. That should be off limits. Her public record and her stances on the issues and her gross lack of qualifications for the office she seeks is enough to condemn her. I don't need to rummage around in the bedrooms of her home.

Do you agree with the sentiments expressed in the videos? Saying you don't doesn't mean you are betraying the cause of a McCain victory, or opposition to an Obama victory, as the case may be.

I think I'm beginning to understand why you can't...because you basically agree with them.

I think it is amusing these people have some lib s bugging out.

Yeah, it's pretty amusing that a major party nominee for President is stoking racism. It's hi- ing-larious! A real knee slapper!

Most of those people are cowards who don't have the guts to follow through on their threats, but it only takes one to act on their convictions.

[Anti.Hero]

stoking racism?

"They will say I don't look like the ones that came before me, They will say I have a funny name..."

John Weaver, McCain’s former top strategist, said top Republicans have a responsibility to temper this behavior.

“People need to understand, for moral reasons and the protection of our civil society, the differences with Sen. Obama are ideological, based on clear differences on policy and a lack of experience compared to Sen. McCain,” Weaver said. “And from a purely practical political vantage point, please find me a swing voter, an undecided independent, or a torn female voter that finds an angry mob mentality attractive.”

“Sen. Obama is a classic liberal with an outdated economic agenda. We should take that agenda on in a robust manner. As a party we should not and must not stand by as the small amount of haters in our society question whether he is as American as the rest of us. Shame on them and shame on us if we allow this to take hold.”

lol @ the left threatening race riot wars and now getting scared they have awakened the angry white man.

Really? Why don't you provide me with a link to evidence for inciting race riot wars?

That man I posted yelling at McCain in Wisc. The silent majority are starting to speak up.

And you agree with them, is that what you're saying?

I honestly gave the McCain supporters in this forum the benefit of the doubt. I thought they would have the decency and dignity to condemn such abhorrent behavior. Instead, the ones that have posted are actually defending racism and hate speech. I'm sure (I hope!) there are several McCain backers on this forum who, if nothing else, realize how disgusting this situation is and condemn the people spreading such hate, if not the party itself for going mum about it.

Really, McCain has a chance to gain from this. How much would he gain in the polls if during a large rally or a telecast, he drew himself up, and berated the people saying such things? He'd look like a patriot. He could even paint himself as the "man in the middle" again, with no agenda other than loving this country. Even Democrats would applaud him if he decided to speak out against the hate.

Yet, McCain is showing that he would rather vilify his opponent than run an honest race against him and lose.

I find it difficult to even be upset about the reactions from McCain supporters. I sincerely hope those who haven't posted yet will not glorify this ridiculous at ude of making a fellow candidate out to be not only Anti-American, but an individual to be despised. For those of you that see this as an act to be cheered... well, I have no respect left for you. Not that it matters to you, but I think you will live to regret it one day.

I know. If we stir them up too much, they might end up in an Insane Asylum. Maybe we should tread lightly.

I read 15+ articles a day; I don't bookmark every one of them. Broaden your daily information sources and you would easily have also heard them. Google.com

And you agree with them, is that what you're saying?

I agree with that man whom I posted.

He basically agrees with them. I asked him if he had a problem with it, and he couldn't say yes. As an Obama supporter, I can condemn digging around in Palin's private life, or making fun of McCain's POW ordeal, but this skid mark can't muster the same standard.

Yet you call her Moose daily. Once again, thin skin and now playing this game to make yourself feel good.


It's obvious McCain is not going to attack what he should be attacking so now I just sit back and see where this circus goes.

Yes, I called her a Moose . I never once called for her assassination or advocated digging around in her private life. I don't really see the point of your irrelevant non sequitur. Name calling is not the same thing as what those people in the video were doing, which is libel, slander and making threats.

That circus ends on November 4th, when Obama gets 52% of the popular vote and 300+ Electoral Votes.

LOL @ this my friend. We all know how this little game is played. McCain doesn't do soemthing, you all bash him for not doing it and say you'd have so much respect for him if he did do it. When in reality, whatever he does he will be bashed by said people. It's weak and tired out. McCain is a lost cause, at this point I don't care what he does or does not do.

I don't regret I am not part of. oooooohh I condemn them, all is right in the world now for I have condemned them! It pains me to have lost respect from someone I do not know, will never know, do not care to know. Plus it's just politics. I'm just passing time.
