Other reports are starting to flow in. At a recent stump speech, McCain mused aloud "Who is the real Barack Obama?" Almost immediately someone shouted "Terrorist!" You could tell McCain heard it by watching his facial expressions, yet he did nothing to stop the accusations. Palin's lies about Obama's characterization of Afghanistan were met with cries of "Treason!" By not denouncing or discouraging this behavior, and in fact, relishing in it, are Palin and McCain really trying to brainwash people into hating and possibly harming Barack Obama? A supporter wearing an Obama T-shirt has already suffered being shot 3 times in the face by a white man yelling, "I f-ing hate ni**ers." Is Obama next? Slinging mud is one thing, but McCain/Palin seem to be inciting hatred and violence now. |

If you are losing because of your views on the issues you have to latch on to whatever you have.
Coincidentally Ada is being bombarded with KKK fliers. Welcome to America, 2008. |

It was only a few months ago that a guy who told investigators all liberals should be killed, shot up a church in Tennessee. At his home, they found several books by conservative hatemongers that spew the same crap that McCain & Palin use to incite crowds.

Total hogwash. Talk about fear mongering from the right -- this thread is total BS fear mongering from the left. How many lefties have wished (sometimes aloud) George Bush dead lately? The hatred there is a stinking ooze.

Name one single time someone wished Bush dead Best. This isn't about Bush at all, its about the desperation of the McCain Palin campaign in the wake of their exposure as being out of touch on the issues. If you can't win on issues, win with whatever strategy you have. |

Name one single time someone has wished Obama dead.
Cop out -- you know full well there are tons of liberals who have thought out loud that they wished GWB was dead. Doesn't mean they actually were going to try and kill him; doesn't mean they even really meant it. If Obama's life is in danger it's because there are tons of nuts in society, and nuts come in all political flavors. His life is not in danger because such a thing as "conservatives" exist in the world (though maybe they all should be eliminated just to be sure). |

I've not made a claim that someone wished Obama dead, you made the claim about Bush. When did that happen? Where? Who said it?

The whole idea of this thread is that conservatives, slobbering with racial hatred, desperation and probably rabies, are all set to waste Barack Obama at the earliest opportunity.
Where in this thread are any cited, specific examples of this? Crap sticks have two ends. |

Fear-mongering is telling someone that something bad will happen if they don't see things their way. Please explain how this has happened here. |

Fear mongering is also insinuating that a candidate or a group of people are so unhinged that they will purvey violence if they don't get their way, ergo they should be shunned and dealt with with garlic and a silver cross.
Calm down, lefties -- if St. Obama is elected he will no doubt serve out his full term in good health. Remember, the last President to be shot was R.W. Reagan, not exactly a flaming liberal. |

No the whole idea of the thread is asking the question about Obama's life being in danger because of a threat made at a Palin event. Further, it's evident that the McCain Palin campaign is in dire straits to attempt to connect with the issues and are attempting anything and everything in the kitchen sink to sway voters from Obama. Anything and everything that is EXCEPT for issues. |

Whether you agree or disagree with the way McCain or Palin are running their campaign, you cannot with any degree of truthfulness assert that they have said anything advocating violence against Obama. To question Obama's associations with Ayers or anyone else is a topic of legitimate discussion (as is the question of McCain's associations with Charles Keating, etc.), and in no way invites violence against anyone.
If Obama's bringing up of McCain's dealings with Charles Keating in an internet ad caused some kook to say "KILL HIM!", that would reflect on the kook, not on Obama. |

A topic of legitimate discussion if they clarify that Obama was 7 or 8 at the time of Ayers actions instead of saying "Obama is palling around with terrorists". Otherwise it is just lying propaganda. I am not equating the desperation of McCain's propaganda with the hatred of some followers. |

  Saying Obama pals around with terrorists is a legitimate discussion? If Obama was a partner in this guy's terrorist activities, or if he agreed with what he did, or if he used him as an advisor, or if he even enspoused the same mindset of violent activism that Ayers had, then it might be a legitimate discussion. Since there is no evidence whatsoever of that kind of relationship, the only reason McCain & Palin are saying that Obama is palling around with terrorists has to be the fear-mongering that you speak about in your previous post. By the way. Where the hell was John McCain's flag lapel pin last night??? Damn Commie! If you vote for McCain, you will be voting for anti-flag-lapel-pin communism. There. How's that for fear-mongering. |

Obama told ABC News in an interview Wednesday that he has said many times that Ayers "engaged in some despicable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old" and that he was an education professor at the University of Illinois when they met 10 or 15 years ago.
Obama said Ayers served with him on a school reform board and that they have discussed school reform issues. Ayers also hosted a small, meet-the-candidate event for Obama in 1995, when he first ran for public office. Obama senior adviser David Axelrod has said Obama was unaware of Ayers' radical background at the time. "The notion that somehow he has been involved in my campaign, that he is an adviser of mine, that he — I've palled around with a terrorist, all these statements are made simply to try to score cheap political points. And, you know, the idea that the McCain campaign would want to make this the centerpiece of the discussion in the closing weeks of a campaign where we are facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and we're in the middle of two wars, I think makes very little sense not just to me but to the American people," Obama said in the interview. |
