You seem to be very very paranoid. No, Obama doesn't have a conspiracy of people going out to Palin rallies and acting like it is a rodeo with racist hicks. That is her own doing.

No--really?!
Obviously after Nov 4 Digg and YouTube will continue to have all the bad behavior clips anyone would ever want.
The thing is, after the election, I don't think we'll see Palin exhorting the faithful to eschew Obama and vote for McCain.
One less opportunity to shout the N word.

You mean where the woman says that Obama is Arab, and McCain says "No, maam. He's a decent family man." That dignified comment?

Which means in body language that it disturbed her. But I guess body motions dont go well with "sound bites"..

I am seriously hope after November 4, this woman goes back to Alaska where the lower 48 do not have to hear about her ever again.
That's like saying you ditch a family in the community because one of their wayward kids was busted for drug peddling.

So, a fringe person can't control their emotions. What does that have to do with Palin or McCain?

Yea. McCain seemed to suggest that an Arab man isnt a good family man.

who is afraid of him? he's just another politician. people aren't afraid, they are annoyed. annoyed at the federal government in general. annoyed when we hear things like we should stop spending $10 billion a month in iraq and spend that money here. how about, stop spending so much money. novel idea huh.

You seem to lack reading comprehension, because Sanrene never said Obama did, she said Obama supporters, who have been caught in the act..

I watched it again and she stumbles the next line out. I have a feeling she heard it. In fact, she takes a big "gulp" and then restarts her next bullet point. As an occasional public speaker myself, you can hear everything coming out of the audience. You almost have to mentally block a lot of it or it can be distracting. But it would be hard not to hear that statement.

To be honest, if it were me, I don't know what I would have done. It's one thing if someone says in an intimate setting something about "ni**ers", but quite another in a highly charged political rally. But I'm not fit to be V.P.
