Society: October 2008 Archives

Good stuff, as usual, from Bob.

Check it out. NPR stops kissing McCain's ass long enough to put out a voice of the people interview that is actually complimentary to Barack.

I'm still not donating to public radio anytime soon though. They've really gotten on their knees for the GOP and Hillary this year.

I know I'm supposed to feel sorry for college age McCain supporters after reading this article, but I just laugh instead.

Just the other day I was walking Mono and we stopped to listen to Anthony Kiedis speak on Obama's behalf at a Get Out the Vote rally. One, it was nice to listen to a guy speak from the heart instead of some talking points. Two, it was real fun to see a few hundred people stoked for Obama with two polite folks at the Libertarian table and five real assholes at the McCain table at the edge of the event.

By assholes, I have the following: three skinheads, one really pre-maturely balding guy, and one dick with the ruffled, curly mop of a frat boy that you'd like to take a ball bat to. You've got a mental image that should fit the bill. Anyway, they were yelling "Fuck you" and a lot of other obscenities during the speech, not loud enough to really be heard but enough to salve their ruined souls I guess.

Five guys, all rude. That's all McCain can gun up for support at this late day. And to be fair, one of Leslie's staffers named Zach, but I'm not going to include him with these jerks. He's actually one of the few decent human beings I know who are not aware their party is home to bigots, racists, and wife beating plumbers. There's still hope for them yet.

And this ad calls out McCain on his irresponsible Death to America pick for VP:

Seems to be a different lawn from yesterday, but a lady paints her lawn with an Obama logo after her signs repeatedly get stolen.

FAUXNews has already thrown McCain under the bus, giving him the worst insult they can think off: they've declared him a Democrat.

Republicans really are the mental equivalent of schoolyard bullies, aren't they?

Speaking of dumb, a story on the rise and danger of anti-intellectualism. Which is why *I* voted for a Constitutional scholar for president. What did YOU do?

More racists for Obama. I don't get it, but I'm glad you're voting for the right guy, whatever your reasons.

I've been avoiding this meme, but what the hell? Sarah Palin as Eliza Doolittle.

More Palinite racists.

They're everywhere apparently.

"He just believes that he's the master race," says the sister of one of the Nazi scumbags who wanted to execute dozens of black students and then try to assassinate Barack Obama.

Awww, That's it? Well, then I guess we're being too hard on the guy I guess. He's sorry? We should probably let him go.

Or not.

Your brother is a terrorist you stupid moron. And you probably agree with everything he says, despite your protestations to the contrary. Racists don't grow up in a vacuum.

Can we finally get rid of this brand of hate as legitimate? You don't have to like other races, but it is NOT okay to endorse executing folks who do not look like you. I'm not asking everyone to intermarry, I'm just saying that genocide is not a solution.

And yes, wanting to off a bunch of people based on the color of their skin IS terrorism. Being neighbors with a former nihilist is not.

Not only do these racists bring their children to hear and learn this vile crap, they get them to contribute. "Monkey president"? WTF?

More racists here in the Las Vegas area:

And the Manchurian Candidate and the Separatist Witch of Wasilla STILL have nothing to say about their supporters.

More on the resurgent racism of white supremacists motivated by Palin.

The Virginia election scam memo noted yesterday as well:

The Christian Coalition is back and lies about BOTH candidate's positions. Wow, lying about your own candidate's positions to get people to vote for him. Real Christian.

Another so-called Christian says you are going to Hell if you vote for Obama. I'll take my chances you racist bitch.

And in this gem, evangelicals swear the world is going to end if Obama wins. Well, YOUR world of hate, fear, and narrow-minded Talibangelical bullshit, but the rest of the world will be just fine.

From the archives: Fuck the South

On conservative talk radio, this asshat spent part of his show fantasizing about Obama smothering his grandmother with a pillow. Sick bastard.

And now we've come full circle. Bush is trying to trump the Supreme Court to try to disenfranchise 200,000 Ohio voters.

Not only is McCain like George Bush on policy, he's like Laura Bush when it comes to killing people with his car.

And, to wrap up this rant: Bush's Third Term

Good point. What are these skinhead fucks being called terrorists?

Just a nice article reminding us that, despite everything, Barack is also a father.

I can't keep up with the Republican slime.

Over at Amazon.com, an Obama mask was (until they were caught) designated a terrorist costume.

Palin is fine with her zealots calling Obama a "n***er"

More on this.

That said, in Pennsylvania, many racists say: "We're voting for the n***er". Wherever you can get the votes, I guess.

The GOP in Virginia has released a statement trying to fool Democrats into voting on Wednesday, November 5th.

The Pennsylvania GOP is suing to disenfrachise 140,000 new voters. Why do these people hate democracy so much?

The ATF arrested two teenage Palinites who wanted to shoot 88 black students, decapitate another 14, and THEN assassinate Obama.

More here.

Yes Palin and McCain. YOU are at fault for this. YOU called this out. YOU should stop it.

Once again, THIS is what happens when Palin inspires MY neighbors to hate and fear.

And THIS is what happens in western Colorado when Palin comes to town. These assholes outright say they are going to kill Obama if he wins.

Where the hell is the Secret Service on this?

I feel real bad for these folks and hope they either don't lose their jobs or find even better ones soon.

Seriously, is there a support fund we can donate to?

In Indiana, dozens walked out from their telemarketing jobs rather than read a McCain hate speech script.

This follows incidents in West Virginia and Wisconsin last week.

I imagine we'll be hearing more stories like this. Someone should be keeping tracks of how many jobs are lost due to McCain's hate-filled racist bullshit scripts. It won't be a large amount I imagine, but in these closing days it would be instructive to know how many people are now unemployed because they could not stomach John McCain's loathsome excuse for a campaign.

Over at Media Matters, a roundup of the conservative assholes who think Obama went to Hawaii to...wait for it...cover up his supposedly fake birth certificate.

As for Ashley Todd, she lied. Yeah, that's right. No "big black buck" assaulted her, robbed her, or cut her up. Let me say it again. She LIED! Not an untruth, a confused story, a misrepresentation. She fucking lied! Like all Republicans do. She lied to get racists energized to vote for McCain. She lied to paint black people as criminals. She lied to distract everyone. To get us talking about anything but the issues.

You know what else? THEY LIED TOO! Drudge lied. FAUXNews lied. They were so fired up that this incident would turn every white voter away from Obama. They were giddy for it. They were hard for it.

The McCainiacs also lied.

This is just the first shot of Willie Horton 2008. Stay tuned to more sickening racism from the GOP.

More sordid incidents from Palinites here in Las Vegas as well as in Denver:

I'm sure I'm missing a few but what follows are some links to stories from KNPR's State of Nevada program in recent months concerning Latino voters and the community. Also, The World had some relevant stories yesterday that I would like to link.

From State of Nevada:

• Ask a Mexican (audio) - Gustavo Arellano from the syndicated Ask a Mexican column is interviewed.
• Motivating Hispanic Voters (audio) - discussion on the upcoming election from back in August
• Latinos '08 Documentary (audio) - discussion on the election cycle, also check out the discussion on the ACORN raid, as well as Steve Sebelius' recent wrapup of the so-called conspiracy
• Latino School Population (audio) - a discussion on our changing school population. Also check out the story on the DMV and gay name changes for a look at the issues with civil rights we still here out west.
• Mariachi Platinos (audio) - a fun and interesting story about a local high school Mariachi group

From The World:

Two stories: the first related to both campaigns efforts here in Nevada, with the second covering Spanish language campaign ads.

Today's episode covered Latino voters in Virginia.

...and people like Sarah Palin are letting it flourish again.

Case in point: mall clark in Missouri.

Olbermann's Special Comment on the Palinite Hate Brigades:

More hatemongering GOP reps.

John Stewart and the Daily Show, on McCain's campaign of hatred...

...and the citizens of Wasilla...

...and a quiz of whether YOU are a "Real American".

A montage of Powell's statements with recent Palinite crowds:

And a blogger asks why other Republicans aren't calling out the hatemongers and racists in their party.

As far as race itself goes, Michel Martin nails the problem down: "Race isn't what we need to get beyond, racism is."

Want to know why this counts? This is an ad run in Dallas the day of JFK's assassination:

Racism is alive and well. I know it. You know it. That said, Republicans swear it doesn't exist, even while screaming "Nigger!" at Palin rallies when Obama's name comes up.

Hypocrites.

In Zanesville, OH racism is a little more evident according to this story in Time about black residents of Zanesville who were denied running water until just a few years ago.

It is shameful how we treat our own citizens. But that is the GOP for ya.

Obama is taking some days off to go visit his very ill grandmother, Madelyn Dunham.

Other than to wish the family the best, I have nothing else to add.

Except this: how long do you think it will take some scumbag Rethug to accuse Obama of abandoning his family and campaign to run off to Hawaii to hang out with a white woman?

Stay tuned.

Kudos to a mix of McCain-supporting Muslims and Christians for confronting a group of hatemongers passing out stickers tying Obama to Muslim extremists and Communism. Granted, they are still voting for McCain but at least some Republicans aren't complete and total bigots and racists.

Strangely, however, that staffer that confronted the trio is being banned from talking to the media by the McCain campaign.

Both Ace and the Witch refuse to acknowledge there is a problem. Now they are slapping a gag order on their staffers when they do the right thing?

Scenes from Preston, MO

In Democratic Lake County, Indiana the GOP swears there is a conspiracy concerning ACORN. That said, ACORN says "We turned them in three separate stacks: ones we had been able to verify, ones that were incomplete and ones that were questionable or suspicious."

And you know, since they have to turn EVERY form in BY LAW....

In Ohio, the Greene County Young Republicans laid out plans to commit voter fraud.

ALSO in Ohio, Joe Deters, McCain's SW Ohio co-chair (and a local prosecutor) has subpoenaed info from early voters, namely those who registered and voted on the same day. Just a tad Draconian, no?

ALSO, ALSO in Ohio, this racist prick:

In North Carolina, white Palinites heckle early voters, calling them "cheaters" for some reason. Voting is cheating? Only to those who let Diebold or the Supreme Court pick their leaders I guess.

Also in North Carolina, 30 families had their tires slashed. Why? They attended an Obama rally and their racist neighbors wanted to thank them I guess.

Racists for Obama? Who knows? Maybe not ALL of them are voting for McCain.

That said, there is this guy:

More national news in that story as well.

In an evil combination of Stephen Colbert and Palinite sickness, a dead bear was dumped on the Western Carolina campus with Obama campaign signs stapled on it. Yes, stapled. Guess the racists couldn't find a monkey.

The Talibangelicals are handing out their biased voting "guides" again.

In Michigan, the GOP has been stopped from blocking foreclosure victims from voting.

Confusing ballots in North Carolina could benefit the GOP. Go figure.

Voting for Obama in West Virginia will end up as a vote for McCain. Other Dem votes end up going for Rethugs as well. Stay tuned.

This article says the GOP is terrified of voters. Given everything I just linked you to, I figure you'd agree.

Even with all the early voting (info here as well as early results) it is going to be a busy election day.

For his part, Colin Powell gets compared to Benedict Arnold. And one in blackface at that:

Which is why Seth MacFarlane is totally in his rights to call it like he sees it:

Honestly, I thought it was going to be too little, too late, but Gen. Powell had a couple of key points to make concerning the direction of his party and how the GOP has branded ANY Muslim, hell, any Arab be they Muslim or not, as a terrorist.

And yes, there IS a difference. Don't believe me, ask the thousands of Lebanese Christians who live in Central Illinois. This includes Rep. Ray LaHood, who, while a staunch conservative backing McCain, abhors the Palinite goon squads and finds them a danger to his party and America.

But back to Powell.

I'm also troubled by, not what Sen. McCain says, but what members of the party say, and it is permitted to be said such things as: "Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim." Well, the correct answer is: he is not a Muslim. He's a Christian. He's always been a Christian.

But the really right answer is: What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is: No, that's not America. Is there something wrong with some 7-year-old Muslim-American kid believing he or she can be President?

Yet I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion: he's a Muslim, and he might be associated with terrorists. This is not the way we should be doing it in America.

Powell brings up Cpl. Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, killed in Iraq serving the United States.

Basically, Powell nails it on the head for conflicted Republicans. Not ALL of them are racists, and I imagine few of them are truly happy about Ace picking the woefully unprepared Palin as his running mate.

I'd feel bad for their indecision if it did not involve endangering the nation.

The Supreme Court rejected a Republican lawsuit that would have disenfranchised 200,000 people. More on this here.

Speaking of ACTUAL voter fraud, in California, many new voters were duped into registering as Republicans and they are NOT happy about it.

The Boston Herald calmly, and logically explains the ACORN boogeyman. More on the McCain politicizing of this non-issue, and Bill Maher's take.

Meanwhile, Republican thugs angrily and viciously, um, terrorize and destroy a Dorchester, Mass. ACORN office. They must be the same people McCain is so "proud of".

UPDATE: Violence reported or threatened against ACORN offices and employees in Seattle, Cleveland, and Providence. Knowing Republican scumbags for what they are, more incidents to come. Stay safe folks.

"Joe the Plumber" does NOT make a quarter million in profit and has confessed that he would get a bigger tax break from Obama than McCain. He's already being thrown under the Hate Talk Express as we speak.

From a comment on the Florida dictator poster story from earlier:

What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?

It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference.

What the media did NOT report last night.

Police arrested fifteen anti-war vets last night, some representing the Iraq Veterans Against the War.

According to the group, one of their members, Nick Morgan, was injured. No, wait, according to this report:

"Morgan was knocked to the ground, and according to witnesses, the horse hooves slammed down on his face. A gash was visible on the side of his head as blood dripped down onto the pavement.

"Protesters in the crowd said that Morgan was taken to a local hospital."

This culture of intolerance the Bush Era has endorsed, and that Sarah Palin and her ilk is motivating, has got to go.

Video from some involved, thanks to clerkcant over at Reddit:

Here's some grainy vid, the incident around the 4:50 mark:

The transcript here at Democracy Now!

Hitting Back

Women Against McCain-Palin put out a couple commercials that aired after the debate last night. Both are moving and instructive of the kinds of civil rights the Republicans would like to take away from American women.

Choice?

Family Values

If you would like to donate to put these on the air elsewhere, donate here.

Bonus loathing:

- The Secret Services is blocking reporters from interviewing the racists at McCain/Palin rallies. This is an obvious violation of what they are supposed to be doing. And if they are doing this, why the hell should Obama trust the SS to protect him from a Palinite assassin?

- More from the Sacramento County Republican Party racist website.

- McCain's slanderous robocalls begin

- The Ohio GOP is suing to remove 200,000 voters from the rolls. This would be a third of the 666,000 folks who registered this year and are presumably Democrats. And all they can say is "Acorn! Acorn!" when confronted with it. Lemme tell ya: a few bad forms for people who won't vote is NOTHING like Diebold guaranteeing elections for Republicans or outright voter intimidation and suppression that is the hallmark of the Republican Party.

- A Tampa GOP bigwig has sent out an email with a "joke" about killing Barack and Michelle Obama. Kenny, I imagine this is funny to someone like you.

"One of our economists was telling us that Bush has just implemented communism for the rich."

- Edwin Castro, Sandinista Congressman, Nicaragua

"If the Venezuelan government, for example, approves a law to protect consumers, they say, 'Take notice, Chavez is a tyrant!'"

"Or they say, 'Chavez is regulating prices. He is violating the laws of the marketplace.' How many times have they criticized me for nationalizing the phone company? They say, 'The state shouldn't get involved in that.' But now they don't criticize Bush for having nationalize . . . the biggest banks in the world. Comrade Bush, how are you?"

"Comrade Bush is heading toward socialism."

- Hugo Chavez, mocking Bush

Gee, thanks Bush.

The take from our adversaries overseas.

From The World, some audio on our bank nationalization.

Know who else is laughing at us? China.

"We will no longer be a party to something that's so unjust."

- Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart

There are times I am REALLY glad I'm from Illinois. This is one of them.

Yes, I am pretty down on the police usually. They usually are so busy enforcing the law that they forget to enforce justice instead. Last week that changed in Cook County. Sheriff Dart will no longer enforce forceclosure evictions as his officers have had to be the first to tell renters that their landlords lost the homes they were diligently paying rent for.

I've got a lot of sympathy for those cops, those renters doing the right thing, and nothing but hate for the bankers forcing the police to do their dirty work.

"These poor people are seeing everything they own put out on the street. ... They've paid their bills, paid them on time. Here we are with a battering ram at the front door going to throw them out. It's gotten insane."

"On top of it all, they want taxpayers to fund their investigative work for them. We're not going to do their jobs for them anymore. We're just not going to evict innocent tenants. It stops today."

More from the sheriff. Kudos to him and his men and women for doing the right thing.

It is called The Great Schlep. Basically, it a move to get young Jewish Obama supporters to go see their grandparents and convince them that everything the MkKkainiacs are saying is not true.

No, Obama isn't a Muslim. Yes, he will support Israel. Yes, you CAN vote for a black man.

Sarah Silverman has done their now-semi-famous video.

The Great Schlep from The Great Schlep on Vimeo.

And so how is it going? Not bad actually. Here are some reports on the Great Schlep, plus some video.

For you Gentile college students, it is time to have "The Talk" with YOUR folks. Want some help? Head to the Obama site for help.

And apparently MoveOn is working with the show Gossip Girl to get out the vote and the message. Hey! Whatever works, right?

Palin-style parenting failures now infect al-Qaeda for McCain (aka: the Republican "base").

I really feel bad for the baby, but also for the wife. But, as the one story out of Virginia the other day shows, Republicans don't let their wives think for themselves.

Seriously, why is this kind of crap allowed in the 21st century?

Sick, deranged people without a clue.

And Palin is firing them up.

"I would also pray Lord that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their God -- whether it's Hindu, Buddha, Allah -- that his [McCain's] opponent wins for a variety of reasons.

"And Lord I pray that you would guard your own reputation, because they're going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you would step forward and honor your own name in all that happens between now and Election Day.

"Oh Lord, we just commit this time to you, move among us, make your presence very well felt as we are gathered here today in Jesus's name I pray."

- Rev. Arnold Conrad, former pastor of the Grace Evangelical Free Church, Davenport, IA, and racist wingnut, giving the invocation at a MkKkaine rally this weekend

The Palin Racist Revival brought Ace with her to Davenport, where apparently even the clergy are racist.

And to think I always though it was a nice place to live.

If this story doesn't bring it home on how bad it is getting here in Nevada, I honestly don't know what will.

Incidentally, in case you were wondering after listening, I'm about six stoplights down from the intersection on Maryland and Desert Inn. This is literally happening where I live.

More classy Republicans:

Still, the yard signs we saw suggested that this was in fact a neighborhood divided. We discovered that was true when we approached another house on the list and found a father and son raking the front yard. "I'm voting for McCain," the father told us. But his 19-year-old son, a college student home for the weekend, told us he plans to send in his absentee ballot for Obama. His reason? 'Palin's a retard,' he said. As for the lady of the house? McCain, the man said. 'She has to live here. The kids I can kick out.'

An independent college student on why he is for Obama. Hint: it has something to do with the GOP appealing to the KKK vote. That said, it is still a good story on how Obama has a far superior operation than McCain does. Which *should* matter to voters. We'll see.

More GOP code words for "he's black!"

Union leader Richard Trumka confront the racism head on.

More on the racist mobs.

Check out THIS douchebag:

Inside he tries to hide his racism:

Love the commentary on the iReport.

More on this incident and the wave of hatred at large.

A list of McCain supporting race-baiting attacks in the media. You know, the hard-lined conservative-owned, McCain cock-sucking "liberal" media?

Here is a view of life for Obama supporters in North Carolina. And another from Alabama. If you believe in anything, pray for these folks. It's getting ugly out there.

Courtesy of Bob Cesca.

More hate in action.

Look, I certainly don't want John McCain and his experienced attack moose in charge of the country, but I also don't want to lynch them. Both McCain and Palin are just as complicit in this racism, bigotry, and fascist bullshit the longer they let it go on.

Biden on this vile behavior:

"The Muslim charge, the 'Hussein' thing is nothing more than today's red-baiting, and it is what it was then - a cover for racists. You may say I'm overreacting, and I really hope you're right. 999,000 out 1 million times we'll go on like normal and proceed to Election Day. But if some shit pops off, the thug and thug-mongers will not be able to throw up their hands and say 'How could I have known?' Ignorance will not save them. Their stupidity is a scourge on us all."

- Ta-nehisi Coates on McCain's comfort in flaming the fires of racism

But hey! Obama warned us this would happen:

Not that it makes it any easier to swallow.

For those still reading the blog, I'm just going to focus on GOP racism for awhile. Yes, the economy is important, as is ending the war. That said, this fearmongering trash called McCain and Palin are going to start a race war, an assassination, or the end of democracy as we know it. All because they know they can't win on their stances on real issues. Instead they want to incite hate among their followers and someone is going to die because of it.

As long as the stories that seem relevant keep coming out, I'll link you to them. Here is an editoral that bears reading and I'll post it all here just for good measure.

McCain's attacks fuel dangerous hatred

By Frank Schaeffer

October 10, 2008

John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as "not one of us," I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence.

At a Sarah Palin rally, someone called out, "Kill him!" At one of your rallies, someone called out, "Terrorist!" Neither was answered or denounced by you or your running mate, as the crowd laughed and cheered. At your campaign event Wednesday in Bethlehem, Pa., the crowd was seething with hatred for the Democratic nominee - an attitude encouraged in speeches there by you, your running mate, your wife and the local Republican chairman.

Shame!

John McCain: In 2000, as a lifelong Republican, I worked to get you elected instead of George W. Bush. In return, you wrote an endorsement of one of my books about military service. You seemed to be a man who put principle ahead of mere political gain.

You have changed. You have a choice: Go down in history as a decent senator and an honorable military man with many successes, or go down in history as the latest abettor of right-wing extremist hate.

John McCain, you are no fool, and you understand the depths of hatred that surround the issue of race in this country. You also know that, post-9/11, to call someone a friend of a terrorist is a very serious matter. You also know we are a bitterly divided country on many other issues. You know that, sadly, in America, violence is always just a moment away. You know that there are plenty of crazy people out there.

Stop! Think! Your rallies are beginning to look, sound, feel and smell like lynch mobs.

John McCain, you're walking a perilous line. If you do not stand up for all that is good in America and declare that Senator Obama is a patriot, fit for office, and denounce your hate-filled supporters when they scream out "Terrorist" or "Kill him," history will hold you responsible for all that follows.

John McCain and Sarah Palin, you are playing with fire, and you know it. You are unleashing the monster of American hatred and prejudice, to the peril of all of us. You are doing this in wartime. You are doing this as our economy collapses. You are doing this in a country with a history of assassinations.

Change the atmosphere of your campaign. Talk about the issues at hand. Make your case. But stop stirring up the lunatic fringe of haters, or risk suffering the judgment of history and the loathing of the American people - forever.

We will hold you responsible.

Frank Schaeffer is the author of "Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of It Back." His e-mail is frankaschaeffer@aol.com

Why is EVERYBODY SURPRISED BY THIS??? These are the 29% that still think that Bush is doing a great job, and these are the 39% still think that Iraq was involved with 9/11. These are people that give two craps about New York, but used 9/11 as their reason to hate. These are people that have no problem taking government money from Homeland Security over alleged terrorism fears, even though they live in Terre Haute, Missouri, or Hillsboro, Oklahoma, or the Royal Tee Country Club in Florida. They are all phony but scary outrage...but As long as these are NOT the ONLY PEOPLE THAT VOTE - COME NOV. 4.

- Commenter thenextquagmire at HuffPo

Sarah Palin has decided that riling up the worst of the Republican Party is the best way for her and Ace to win. Namely, get everyone to hate the black man is the name of the game.

Or in Palin's case, ANY black man:

In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."

Meanwhile, Obama is trying to play down race in order to get the white vote. Sad to say, but it is necessary in this day and age, 40+ years after the Civil Rights Movement.

It might not matter though. The racists might STILL vote for Obama:

"What's crazy is this. I was blown away by the outright racism, but these folks are f***ing undecided. They would call him a n----r and mention how they don't know what to do because of the economy."

- Obama supporter on undecided racists in Philly

Oh, for you undecided Asian voters, your "maverick" from the 2000 campaign:

"I hate the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live."

- John McCain on his feelings towards the Vietnamese

More on Republican hate speech at McCain and Palin events. And no, neither has denounced ANY of this. Which means, at some point soon, they ENDORSE RACISM.

The Jed Report on Palin's ties to Alaska's separatist traitorous anti-American political party. Unlike Obama being neighbors to a former terrorist, she actually went to the damn meetings:

More on the race baiting Palin attacks.

And hey! McCain has already hung out with Nazis, racists, and various anti-Semites. So this isn't new to him apparently.

Why the concern here? A man in London was shot three times with a ball bearing gun for wearing an Obama t-shirt. Just wait until the shotgun packing inbreds inspired by a Sarah Riefenstahl-Palin speech start roaming the streets.
