As John McCain tanks in the polls, his rallies are becoming a vile hate fest. Issues be damned!
From the Washington Post:
Anger Is Crowd’s Overarching Emotion at McCain Rally
WAUKESHA, Wis., Oct. 9 — There were shouts of “Nobama” and “Socialist” at the mention of the Democratic presidential nominee. There were boos, middle fingers turned up and thumbs turned down as a media caravan moved through the crowd Thursday for a midday town hall gathering featuring John McCain and Sarah Palin.
“It is absolutely vital that you take it to Obama, that you hit him where it hits, there’s a soft spot,” said James T. Harris, a local radio talk show host, who urged the Republican nominee to use Barack Obama’s controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., and others against him.

This just confirms what we’re seeing in those scary videos I’ve been posting the past few days.
The Mainstream is abandoning McPalin in droves, and the ones remaining are pissed off right-wingers who are far more interested in mudslinging bullshit tactics, and labels (commie…terrorist…socialist…) than the issues.
Oh if only these were the old days and they could talk about the horror of a “nigger” getting in the White House. You see these “Americans” in these videos, and you just know they want to say it, and they’re pissed that they can’t, you can practically see the steam coming out of their ears as their heads are on the verge of exploding.

Its ehe Dewmocrats who are doing most of the yelling, screaming and curseing. Along with showing their racist attitudes. I would vote for Colin Powell or Condelizza Rice in a New York minute, and Powell over McCain. It has nothing to do with Race! It has to do with Morality, Christianity, and Patriotism. Wake up!

So let me see if I understand you correctly.
It’s moral, patriotic, and “christian” for John McCain to give tax breaks to the wealthy, but not the middle class?
It’s moral, patriotic, and “christian” for John McCain (And Sarah Palin) to lie about everything under the sun, whether it be Earmarks, the Bridge to Nowhere, say Obama is a terrorist, and on and on and on?
It’s moral, patriotic, and “christian” to deny healthcare to Americans?
It’s moral, patriotic, and “christian” to sing songs about bombing Iran?
It’s moral, patriotic, and “christian” to advocate being in Iraq for 100 years?
It’s moral, patriotic, and “christian” to ask woman who have been raped, to pay for their rape kits?
It’s moral, patriotic, and “christian” to own 8 houses, spend $273,000 a year in “household help”, and yet expect the middle class to carry the tax burden in John McCains America?
Who really needs to “wake up” here?

Um, you’re posting under the name “antebellum,” and you claim you’re not racist? Nerve.

Disgusting!
I have no other response to this hate rally. For a county rolling in money, you would think the people would be more informed on the issues of the day. All I saw was alot of fear and hate mongering. Oh… and not one black person. The plant from the Milwaukee radio station does not count.
I was born and raised in Waukesha. I spent 28 years of my life there. I moved to NJ in 1978. Thank God. The hate and racism I now see coming from all those so called good Christians make me want to vomit. McCain and Palin are promoting fear. The braindead residents of Waukesha are buying it.
What I have seen in my life out there was racism. I saw a black family try to move into this Christian town only to have the residents gang up on them. Don’t want those home values going down now, do we?
I saw a small black child riding a bike in a suburb. He was visiting a family. Do you know cars actually pulled to the side of the road to watch him…like a freak show?
But these wonderful Christins do manage to go to church every Sunday. They see nothing wrong with promoting hate and racism. So typical of Bush lovers.
This city and county is an embarassment for all of America.
By the way, my relatives still live there. I call them the bubble people. Can you imagine? 60,000 people all living in the Bush bubble.
It is people like this who got us into this mess to begin with.
