Cooked Crack Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Ever since McCain's campaign went 100% negative, I've been uncomfortable with what I'm hearing. Seems like everyday they continue their race and fear mongering. Messages that pretty much account to Obama isn't one of us to a sea of white faces. McCain keeps coming off more and more like a sleaze. Some examples and I know I'm missing quite a few, I expect there to be more if they continue this way. As seen at recent McCain events, this afternoon's crowd was vocal in their support for McCain and their anger with Senator Obama. At one point one man could be heard yelling, "Off with his head," when McCain spoke about Obama's tax plan. That enthusiasm was even more present during Palin's remarks, and as other observers have reported in the past, today there was a sizeable number of people making their way towards the exit after McCain's running mate left the podium. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/08/1517943.aspx "And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, 'launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol,'" she continued. "Boooo!" the crowd repeated. "Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/10/06/in_fla_palin_goes_for_the_roug.html McCain was speaking today in New Mexico, doing his usual personal attack on Barack Obama, as the stock market plummeted (you can see the ticker next to McCain on the screen, an apt reminder of what McCain and his fellow Republicans represent), and McCain asked the crowd "who is Barack Obama?" Immediately you hear someone yell "terrorist." McCain pauses, the audience laughs, and McCain continues on, not acknowledging, not chastising, not correcting. Oh, but McCain does say in the next sentence that he's upset about all the "angry barrage of insults." http://www.americablog.com/2008/10/mccain-does-nothing-as-crowd-member.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 So McCain is a bad person because a few individuals make inflammatory remarks about Obama? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooked Crack Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 So McCain is a bad person because a few individuals make inflammatory remarks about Obama? McCain is a bad person cause his campaign right now is all about playing on these fears. How many death threats were made by McCain's crowds last week or any other week before this one? I'm guessing zero(I haven't seen any stories that suggest otherwise). When the terrorist comment was made, McCain obviously heard it but didn't say anything. That comment actually got a big laugh too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumanB Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I would suggest you change your thread title, since nothing in the links you provided say that. But, more importantly, your use of the word "lynching" is race baiting and I don't see anywhere where the insults at these rallies had any racial slurs.

Cooked Crack Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Everyday huh? Could you share some examples please? The whole Obama isn't one of us, he's got a funny name. Two times this week in their rallies they decided to start saying the Hussein in his name to ignite the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two times this week in their rallies they decided to start saying the Hussein in his name to ignite the crowd. So Obama's own words, "They're going to tell you he has a funny name. They're going to tell you he doesn't look like the other presidents on the dollar bill...Oh, and did I mention he's black?" make McCain a racist? Very, very weak. You said DAILY McCain uses race mongering. Cite one example, or stop being the ACTUAL race baiter. This is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins59 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Those quotes you provided prove to me that they're using race big time to demean Obama. And guess what McCain's supporters do? Every time you point that out, you're "playing the race card". I find the statement "playing the race card" to be, well, racist. Any time you say anything about republicans using race to win this election, you're "playing the race card". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made that statement two days ago and it seems like everyday it continues. The actions at these rallies make me uncomfortable. 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." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/06/AR2008100602935.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Saying that "Off with his head!" is a death threat is pretty weak, unless the speaker was Henry VIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said McCain was racist but that's the crowd he's playing to. His campaign is playing to the Sean Hannity's of the world instead of the American people.

codeorama Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Obama is the only one that is saying that he doesn't look like the presidents on currency and other race baiting comments as elaborated above. McCain hasn't said anything like this. I think that race is a huge issue in this election, but not coming from McCain's side. Its coming from the left.

JimboDaMan Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Really quite amusing. People yell inflammatory, racist, and threatening stuff at McCain rallies. McCain clearly hears at least some of it and says nothing. Guy on extremeskins exaggerates and says this is happening every day. ES conservatives decide the guy on Extremeskins is disgusting. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 No point in killing McCain, father time will deal with that. Then our country can go the way of Rome when a string of pitiful rulers took command, the second Dark Age is going to be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Jam Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 You're going to have idiots on both sides. Doesn't excuse McCain for running a negative campaign BUT you can't link him to the vulgar junk some of his supporters spew. We don't want people associating Ayers comments with Obama, right? Then don't be a hypocrite and hit on McCain for things his supporters are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah I forgot that's just a term of endearment. Obama is the only one that is saying that he doesn't look like the presidents on currency and other race baiting comments as elaborated above. McCain hasn't said anything like this.. Let's be serious here what do you think go into people's mind when they start saying Obama "isn't like us" and continue to bring up that he's ethnic. Obama prediction was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His campaign is playing to the Sean Hannity's of the world instead of the American people. So by catering to people you disagree with, he's organizing lynching parties and a "daily race monger?" This is why I get so pissed off about race issues surrounding this election. You use BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S very own words, assign them to the McCain campaign, and basically call him a hate monger -- BASED ON BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S WORDS!!!! Idiocy. Those quotes you provided prove to me that they're using race big time to demean Obama. And guess what McCain's supporters do? Every time you point that out, you're "playing the race card". I find the statement "playing the race card" to be, well, racist. Any time you say anything about republicans using race to win this election, you're "playing the race card". The white guy apologizes for asking for supporting facts before damning someone as a racist. (Please note that the supporting facts have STILL not been provided. And that he used OBAMA'S OWN WORDS, as support for his lie.) Obama successfully pinned HIS words on McCain, and it's a crying shame that some people are so stupid/gullible as to buy it. His quote was straight from Barack Hussein Obama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rincewind Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I have never seen someone's middle named used by so many other people when said person doesn't use it himself. Seriously, you don't call him John Sydney (snicker) McCain, why add Hussein???? That seems like pandering to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
