Central FL has a long history of Klan activity. No wonder Palin was sent there...she fulfills every expectation they have.
I'm wondering if the network will make a formal complaint against the M/P campaign? And what the fuck is the Secret Service doing to quell these hate-fests that could wind up deadly?

I believe I predicted this.
Many McCain supporters are "I'll never vote for a N***er", not "McCain supporters".
It is going to get much worse before nov. 4th, if thats possible.
When one candidate does not immediately denounce cries of "terrorist" and "kill him" shouted about his opponent, he is accepting and embracing them.

An honorable man would have denounced the person in the crowd who called Hilliary the b-word and Obama a terrorist. Obama does it all the time. He invites protestors to stay in the crowd as long as they do not interrupt the speech. He isn't afraid of people holding signs.
An honorable man (which McNasty is not) in response to the terrorist shout from the crowd SHOULD have said: Hey, now let's keep it civil." or "We don't need to say personal attacks of that sort. We are here to talk about the issues." whatever

So this is another example of how McPain and Shrill Sarah will rule the country. As divisive and dishonest as Bush and Cheney. It also shows what a rabble rouser Palin is, and how radical she can be. Deep down, she really dislike the US, and that is why she has been involved in that Secessionist group.
These two buggers will NEVER bring the country together.

Not that I expect McCain, Palin, or any of the Republicans to actually learn from history, but the McCain/Palin ticket is quickly turning into the Jacobin Club of the French Revolution.
If they are not careful, this angry mob that they are inciting (I would say creating, but frankly, we all know that they were there to begin with) will consume them and lead to things that I don't honestly believe even they want.

I agree hawkman. Neither of them has a grasp of crowd dynamics and it shows. Obama certainly does and channels it in a positive way. These two, however, clearly have no idea what their hate-filled rhetoric can lead to. I've formally studied crowd dynamics and riot control. All it takes is one fanatic ("kill him", "terrorist", etc.), and that person can turn a crowd from displaying enthusiasm to uncontrolled destructive rage. Just one person, fueled by this kind of speech, is all it takes. That's why police target specific individuals in riots and remove them first. It may appear that they are selecting people at random, but they definitely are not. Removing the instigator(s) is one of the first tactics police are taught to gain order. If McCain/Palin keep this up they will get far more than they've bargained for.

"These two, however, clearly have no idea what their hate-filled rhetoric can lead to. " - Oh yes they do - and if they don't, certainly their campaign 'organizers' do. When the Dems then start raising the notion of racism, the Repugs will pounce. They're being despicable, but wait at least till the debate tonight is over - see how McCain 'performs'; let the next news cycle(s) focus on that. they way these guys are going, there'll be plenty of time in the next three weeks to nail them on their racism and crowd 'technique'.

"these racially charged crowds could turn violent with them right on stage" - that's when we know they're channelling Caiigula, not Jefferson.

I hope that Obama maintains his stance of measured committed political discourse as long as possible, and I hope that McSame and the Embarracuda carry on on the same projectile, and then I don't know WTF happens next!!

The racist comment is creepy and wrong, and while it pisses me off, I'm not surprised. But what pisses me off is the even bigger picture. There are a lot of people on the right who see freedom of the press...AS A BAD THING. In their hearts, when Palin says something stupid, and we find out about it, it's not her fault for saying something stupid, it's the media's fault for reporting it. The media might be "The New Jew" for 21st. century Fascists: "Everything would be great if it weren't for the media telling us how great everything isn't."
And the McCains and Palins, like the Bushes and Cheneys, luuuuuuv all of it. Running an illegal operation, trampling the Constitution, bastardizing everything the coutnry's supposed to represent, is just so much easier when no one's talking about it. So if they can convince their base that the media is evil, looking to make the base's leaders look stupid (and thus, by extension, the base), it riles up the base to attack the media: "No one's gonna make ME or my Sarry look stupid, dad gummit!" It's one thing for a politician to look like he or she is suppressing the media, but if that politician can convince the base that it's in THEIR best interests to suppress the media, then you've got cultlike powers with no one trying to point out thouo art mortal. Great gig if you can get it, I suppose, but I can't help but think that it's a word that gets bandied about by the very people it should really be used towards: UNAMERICAN.

As a new citizen and a first time voter, I have to say I am more than disappointed that any political party would stoop to the levels of McCain-Palin campaign. Inciting racial hatred and encouraging threats is beyond deplorable. This country should be way way way beyond those tactics, but apparently not.
I do feel the media should immediately stop video coverage of both McCain and Palin speeches. Their rallies could be mentioned in news statements, but no video coverage should be provided. Their inciting violence and hatred is a perfect justification for that.

It would be nice if the dem leadership spoke up against it, but it's so abhorrent to most Americans, just having it reported will drag McCain's numbers down. Besides, keeping the powerless at each others' throats only works if you're trying to hang on-- not when you've been booted out. In cases like that, racist hate merchants tend to find it difficult to spread the virus:
The American author of a best-selling book attacking Barack Obama is being detained in Kenya because he does not have a work permit, a senior immigration official said Tuesday.
Jerome Corsi, who wrote "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," was being held at immigration headquarters in Nairobi after police picked him up from his hotel Tuesday, said Carlos Maluta, a senior immigration official in charge of investigations.
"We still haven't decided what to do with him," Maluta told The Associated Press.

Yeah, but I'm not afraid of Drudge. And Corsi's a jackass. If the right wants to make a poster child out of someone who babbles about Obama being a muslim who's secretly seething with "black rage", I say let's hear it. After 60 years of character attacks on democrats, I think we're all learning to fight back, and we need the practice.

I posted this earlier, but it won't be anyone on the national stage that gets hurt. It will be on a local level - someone with an Obama bumper sticker or a lawn sign or protesting a visit from McCain or Palin.
How much attention did the people murdered in the church get, or the head of the Arkansas Democratic Party getting shot and killed?
We're moving into dangerous times here. Remember, the Germans support of Hitler came in times of extreme economic duress. I held a party office in my local Democratic unit for a number of years. Several years ago I would warn about fascism (being an old history major) coming to the US, and everyone would call me paranoid. I doubt that they would call me that now.

It is nice to see Senator Obama coming to a region where he knows he faces great difficulty--not because of his policies, but because of his race. His visit to SE Ohio shows McCain and it shows those who don't like him here that he is not afraid to come and speak to us.

Oh, God no. Let them keep covering her, the more the better. (But if I were in the news business, I would make sure not to send anyone to cover these Klan rallies who would be putting his or her life in danger.) The more people see her, the uglier she gets, which makes McCain look like an even bigger fool. Trust me, she won't go a day without doing something to show the depths of her stupidity. And the numbers are showing it. No one but the ignorant bigots she appeals to are buying her act anymore. The independents are moving to Obama more and more every day, because nobody wants this imbecile's face representing this country. She's a fraud, a compulsive liar, and an idiot. Those are qualities that may have helped Bush get elected, but look where his numbers are now.
This is a fine campaign you're running, McCain. You've got crowds yelling threats at people just trying to do their jobs. But I'm sure you'll come out against it...once someone tells you to. You're a real piece of sh*t, you know that?

Sarah Palin reminds me of a modern version of charasmatic fanatical preacher Aimee Semple McPehrson.
"AMY SEMPLE MCPHERSON, founder of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, was married three times and divorced twice. In May 1926, McPherson disappeared and was thought to have been drowned while swimming off the California coast. A month later she turned up in Mexico, claiming to have been kidnapped, but the evidence led most people to believe that she had an affair with a former employee, Kenneth Ormiston, who was married at the time. Later she bobbed her hair and started drinking, dancing, and wearing short skirts. McPherson’s mother, Mildred (Minnie) Kennedy, worked as a business associate in her daughter’s successful evangelistic empire. In fact, they owned the Angelus Temple in Los Angeles outright, in a fifty-fifty partnership, but they frequently got into terrific fights. In 1927 Aimee had her mother fired from the positions she had long held. Two years later, Mildred left her daughter Aimee’s ministry permanently “after receiving a broken nose during an explosive argument.”
