Why do people stick up for any one of these two? They are government officials. Have you forgot what they have done?

They don't care about any of us. Get a clue.

Like watching two starving dogs fight over a turd.

I certainly do not condone racism in any form. I also don't believe that Obama supporters were right to attack Sarah Palin and her family as they have been doing. First, they claim that her newborn child was not hers, but her daughters', then they attacked her pregnant daughter, then her fiance, then her husband.

WHERE were all of you that are so indignant about the Obama attacks, when all of these slanderous attacks were made on the Palins?

Some of the more offensive threads about Sarah Palin:
Sarah Palin an open racist
Sarah Palin a secret agent for Dominionist Christianity
Palin and secret lover
Palin in internet 'witchcraft' video (it wasn't witchcraft-it was a church service)
Gov. Palins' 5th child not really hers
sarah Palin belongs to a crazy church too
Palin's 17-Year-Old Unwed Daughter is Pregnant: Shotgun Wedding To ...
Palin switched colleges at least 6 times(so, is that a crime?)
Is Sarah Palin a Holy Roller??
Sarah Palin and the Doomsday Code
BREAKING: Democrats Release Sarah Palin's Social Security Number ...
Obama campaign accuses Palin of links to "Nazi sympathizer"
Five colleges in six years? Palin is one shady Veep(are people now shady for switching colleges)
Sandra Bernhard issues 'gang rape' warning to Sarah Palin(real nice Dems!)
Rumors of Sarah Palin new baby, it's not hers!
Sarah Palinick Cheney in a dress(no-she never shot anyone while hunting)
What's the difference between Palin and Muslim fundamentalists ...

I could go on and on, but the point is this. Where were all of you that are outraged over the OP video, when these threads were posted?

By the way, it IS RACIST for blacks to vote for OBAMA JUST BECAUSE HE IS BLACK, just as it is RACIST for whites NOT to VOTE for him just because he is black. It is not racist to vote for him because you agree with his platform, just as it is NOT racist not to vote for him, because you disagree with his platform.

Let's not use RACISM for everything under the sun. There are plenty of reasons that don't involve racism.

One more point. Many people, including myself, DO BELIEVE that abortion is MURDER. Almost everyone, but Obama, believe that if a baby is born ALIVE, IT IS MURDER TO KILL THAT BABY. Or do you believe that a baby that is born alive is a cabbage?

2. "And that's the kind of people Republicans are trying to engage... Root vegetables.." - Nice ignorant mindset you've got going there. For your information, that's not the type of people we're trying to engage.

How come they flock to your rallies like flies? How come McCain did not stop the member of the public who shouted extremely hateful slogans directed at Obama?

Again, unless you're talking about rallies of another presidential election, my original answer stands. When the Republicans have an African American running for POTUS there will be people on the Democrat side shouting their hateful crap.

And why didn't McCain address the idiot who shouted "Kill him!"? Seriously? What else are you going to do, call out the person on it and let them continue yelling their violent banter? You don't address someone like that in a public speech and give him/her attention - you ignore it and let security move in to deal with them.

We're just as embarassed by those idiots as I'm sure John McCain and Sarah Palin were/are. It's horrifying to watch those people act that way and to watch it rub off on their kids.

Thanks. That's encouraging.

But what makes you so much better? You're doing the same thing on this board that they were in the videos - making baseless assumptions and spouting your narrow minded crap in hopes someone would side with you.

I'm sorry, but expressing my exteme dissapointment with people who profess narrow-minded hate and in fact racism towards Obama (his name etc) has nothing to do with "baseless assumptions". If you want to see the base of my feelings, go and watch the video again.

The way you worded your post in the last part, it sounded as if you meant ALL Republicans were catering to people like these. I can tell you first hand that we are not. I don't consider the people in these videos to be Republicans, personally, because they are voting for McCain for the wrong reasons. I consider them, those people, not Republicans as a whole and certainly not traditional Republicans, to be a hate group.

If ignorance were currency the bailout would be paid for already. Can any of these people actually define the words they throw around? What does it accomplish? It's just got that drunken football game atmosphere. Partisan politics=breeding stupidity.

Agreed..Obama has infered as much himself in interviews. "It's a wash"
Essentially come election day there will be people who won't vote for Obama because he is black and there will be people that vote for Obama just because he is black. Impossible to change those people's minds since they aren't thinking logically to begin with...so it's a wash between two groups of people unlikely to be reached by opposing camps.

No not everything is racist, but when an idiot takes a stuffed monkey and plasters an Obama sticker across his forhead and spews hateful remarks...its racist.

You know both parties are perfect and good people fit to run this nation and help all it's people. As you know we have Dems in congress and a Pub in office. Both parties love the US citizens and will protect our freedoms and give us all that we need in our hour of trouble should it come. We shouldn't be fighting over our candidates, we should be holding great feast in their names.

Although the last president cared greatly for our nation and loved us all sadly he cannot run for a third term so we are forced to choose a replacement for him now.

Heaven knows we together as a nation have worked proudly on abolishing the obsolete constitution that chains our modern day freedoms. Regretfully the 22nd amendment somehow survived our president's earnest efforts to lead us toward a truly free and peace loving country of tomorrow.

I encourage you not to fight, but rather humbly choose our next shining president to carry our nation into the next 1460 days of freedom and prosperity.

Remember either way,

America wins! America wins!

YOU CAN CLAIM OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE JUST AS BAD...FINE, BUT IT MAKES THESE PEOPLE AND ANY LIKE THEM IN EITHER CAMP NO LESS IDIOTS!

Have to agree with you. In my opinion, when it comes down to it, Obama and McCain are pretty much the same thing. People, look at the past, they will say what they need to get elected. But after they get elected, it doesn't matter what they said anymore, they're going to do what they do. I've seen hate from supporters on both sides, I mean real HATE. Hate is going to be the downfall of this country, if we cannot respect people's opinions, no matter whether you disagree or not, then we can not move forward. The old saying goes something like this, I may fully disagree with WHAT you say, but I will fight to the death for your RIGHT to say it.

Fantastic video, flagg and star man this guy knows what hes talkin bout

You know what? Let's wait till this propitious day (African American Republican for POTUS) and then you start a thread. Deal? Until then, this is a poor attempt to divert attention from how backward many (not all) Republican supporters are, on your part.

And why didn't McCain address the idiot who shouted "Kill him!"?

For a person who ostensibly embraces the highest in morale (well, he really hates "gooks" and will as long as he lives, if you believe him), it's an imperative to stop a reckless hate monger, don't you think?

I think this was a moment that McCain could have stolen... By going ballistic against the root veggies crying for Obama's blood. But he doesn't have the gut to risk alienating the despicable lynch mob on whom he relies for the precious more votes.

Maybe those folks are democrat opperatives.
Yes, this really is a one line post.

No, they were emissaries of Supreme Being Zmorrg, who resides in the center of a massive neutron star. I think it's more likely.

Yep, it's that bad...no matter what the topic, we can rest assured that many, many of the legion of morons in the USA will make their viewpoints known to the rest of the world and that someone, somewhere will video the scene for posterity.

(On a lighter note, it does warm my heart a bit to see some of these couch potatos getting a bit of exercise by actually having to stand up & walk around as a means of making their stupidity known to one & all.)

The fear that the USA will become a socialist or fascist entity should be trumped by the far more immediate threat of impending idiocracy.

Damn you, Mike Judge...you were right!!

Ezzi (I wish someone would create a "smiley" to sufficiently convey complete & total disgust...the eye-roll just doesn't cut it.)

Are you kidding? Look at the video of the McCain rally in New York! I've never seen such uncivil people in my life.

Except for the guy carrying Curious George, there was nothing racist about the Obama video.

He is a socialist and consorts with bigots(Father Pfleger), racists (Jeremiah Wright) and terrorists(Bill Ayers and spouse). Raines, his economic advisor took $90million dollars of GSE money when he quit due to his fraudulent conduct.

We will all regret the day Obama is elected. However, polls are notoriously wrong in favor of Democrats and a lot of people say what the pollsters want to hear.
