McCain and Palin are certainly responsible for inciting this behavior.

Why because they question Obama's group of associates? I bet you would totally throw out the Keating thing questioning his associates.

The actions of a few don't speak for the many.

You honestly believe that they have no responsibility whatsoever for stoking this behavior?

Conservative sheep-minded Palin/McCain supporters = embers

Palin/McCain propaganda machine = gasoline

You get the picture...

John, irrational assumptions? These are not irrational assumptions they are facts. Sarah Palin is playing the crowd and the supporters are eating it up. Associating Bill Ayers with Obama, insinuating Obama association with a terrorist. There is just not one person in the crowd that is screaming out Obama is a terrorist. McCain did not stop this mean spirited crowd, he allowed it to continue until the newsmedia broadcasted its concern. Then McCain had the decency to explain to people not to be afraid of Obama.

This is serious and it ought not to be taken lightly.

Can you honestly say that if McCain had such a person in his past the obama campaign would not have used it.
The language they are using is carefully planned by someone in that campaign to trigger hatred and stir up radicalism. I don't think it's McCain who is behind it, and maybe he didn't truly realize what was going on until he finally stood up and said something about it. Either Palin is being used as a tool and isn't smart enough to realize it or she is radical herself. I am not sure which I think yet because I honestly haven't seen quite enough yet.

Do you remember the thing with that guy who was brought onto the Jenny Jones show because a gay guy had a crush on him. Well, the guy they brought on the show was straight and what was done to him angered and riled him up so badly he murdered the gay guy. Although I can't recall the details, Jenny Jones was sued over intentionally creating the situation. I'm assuming it is possible that they same could happen if anything is done to Obama by one of these crazed McCain/Palin supporters. This is a VERY dangerous game. The political operatives on the religious right have a bad habit of inciting hatred and fear and as a woman who is very close to God I have to say there is absolutely NOTHING Godly about what they do.

I couldn't even get through the first one. I can't listen to wacko, paranoid, conspiracy theorists. I don't have a tin-hat.

You're not a PUMA are you?
