This is why the Palin-McCain campaign froze out the MSM from talking to rally attendees. All hail the citizen journalists who do the job now to expose the hatefests that Palin stokes and McCain has lost control of.

He's right to a point. People vote against their interest only as long as they have their basic needs met. But when people lose their houses and the problems start piling up, they begin to pay more attention. When we may be staring a DEPRESSION right in the face, we vote overwhelmingly FOR our interests.
I think the problem that foreign reporters have in covering our politics is that they miss the importance of the narrative. If you can establish a strong narrative for yourself, or against your opponent, you win. Reagan's 'Morning in America' theme and Bush's terrible sliming of Kerry are just two such examples. The evil genius of the Swift Boat lie is that it established Kerry as "unfit to lead". The difference now is McCain has not been at all consistent in establishing any narrative. One week he is the candidate of experience, next week he's a 'maverick'. One week Obama is a celebrity, the next he's wet behind the ears, the week after that he is elitist. Now he's this 'unknown'. This lack of consistency has, more than anything else, taken McCain's campaign entirely out of his hands. Contrast that with Obama's program of change and repeated stating of avoiding Bush's Third Term, and the strategic difference become clear. The fact of the matter for McCain is that it is far too late to reestablish any kind of narrative - the country is much worse off than it was in 2004, so they are not going to care about the Ayers bullshit or even Rev. Wright, especially at this late stage.

50 years ago, when I was in high school, one of my black classmates won award after award for citizenship ... outside of high school, such things as Boy Scouts, Boy's Club, various civic organizations, etc. Often he was receiving these awards and consequently was tardy for classes or absent. The teachers used these tardy and absense to have him punished, destroying the passes he received from the various organizations. The coaches used to drag him behind the bleachers and beat the crap out of him. They failed in that he was one of the first Blacks to be nominated to Annapolis. Now, he has enough character to even deny that he was ever abused. But watching this video says that, 50 years later, the same attitudes continues to exist among a certain segment of our population. And since my high school days we have seen the so many changes, Man has walked on the moon, our space vehicles have left the solar system, we now have computers in most of homes, we even have pocket computers, most of us have cell phones, etc. For all that progress, we still have such primitive, barbaric, savage cavemen among us.

These people will always exist, but normally most of them keep their hatred out of the public eye - but the direction the McCain campaign has seemingly gone gives them license to flaunt this behavior and ratchet it up. One person says Obama is unpatriotic. The next says he's treasonous. The next says he's a terrorist. The next says he should be killed. It's a sick game of oneupsmanship. What has Obama done to deserve such treatment? Nothing, and that's the point: these people hate for nothing. They are just now emboldened because they think it's become acceptable for them to do so in public, at political rallies, for TV, etc. They'll believe any lie no matter how cheap and transparent if it reinforces their racist ideology.

It is clear that Barack Obama just doesn't understand regular people and the issues they care about. He dismisses hardworking middle class Americans as clinging to guns and religion, while at the same time attacking average Americans at McCain rallies who are angry at Washington, Wall Street and the status quo.
"Even worse, he attacks anyone who dares to question his readiness to serve as their commander in chief in chief. Raising legitimate questions about record, character and judgment are a vital part of the Democratic process, and Barack Obama's effort to silence and shame those who seek answers should make everyone wonder exactly what he is hiding."

Best I can credit Hillary with is that given the extreme ambitions and career orientation of both Clintons, they did an outstanding job raising Chelsea, but it wasn't because Hillary was often in the kitchen sharing with her homemaker's skills.

McCain’s supporters are reflecting back what his and Palin’s actions and words have incited in them and he’s supposedly uncomfortable with how they act and what they say as if he wasn’t responsible for their reactions. When you repeatedly yell fire, you shouldn’t be surprised that some people are going to get really, really scared. The politics of fear is working. John McCain and Sarah Palin have created so much fear that people actually believe they are in danger of more than just losing the election.

I am scared to death one of these idiots is going to try to kill Obama--this is the same mood I remember in the 60s when they went after JFK, MLK, and exactly like the election when Bobby Kennedy was running. I remember the venom older white men spouted while their wives snarked and giggled. It was more a generational hate than a racial one then but they have not changed. It makes me sick.

If you have a resentment, you can come to them and vent, and feel right at home.
But by definition, resentment implies that they resent, and therefore hate, the United States, such as it is.
So, they have no problem with America's foreign policy or economy lying in ruins - as long as it was them who was doing the ruining - it's the price the world has to pay for things not going these people's way sometime in the past over some issue or another.

Bill Moyers was a big, big disappointment tonight. Had really expect better of him. He had Kathleen Hall Jamieson on his show talking about dirty politics, partisanship and the truth. Jamieson made the equivalency between Obama attacking McCain for being part of Keating 5 and McCain’s lies about Obama being a terrorist, the dirtiest politician ever, a Muslim and other such filthy lies (including the inherent racism, the disgraceful use of the N-word). As it turns out McCain was part of the Keating 5. Jamieson claims that Obama has accused McCain of being the primary mover in and crookest of the five senators which is, of course, bullshit that Obama never said or implied. Saying that is equivalent to McCain’s lies about Obama including egging his followers on to the point where they are screaming for Obama’s blood is absolute and total untrue. Dirty campaigning yes. Even Republicans are saying McCain is running the dirtiest campaign ever. The very worst that can be made of Obama’s charges is that the Keating 5 scandal is old news, though I think it is relevant to McCain’s true character. To try to pretend Obama is just as bad is pure lies and if Jamieson is trying to be impartial, she is is leaning over so far backward, she has already pathetically flipped a dozen somersaults backward. More likely she has been in the pay of the crooks who call themselves Republicans or, at the very best, is too cowardly to address the truth.
As for Moyer, this was sickeningly disappointing. Had thought that he was one voice that would always be dependable and courageous enough to call a spade a spade.
As an aside, I also question that Ayers was that evil. Ayers was protesting the Vietnam war and opposed a war as corrupt and meaningless as the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even worse, 50,000 American soldiers died for no good reason not to mention several million Gooks and Geeks (innocent Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians, Thai and other Indochinese mothers, fathers, children, uncles, aunts, grandfathers, grandmothers) who were butchered for being Gooks and Geeks. Ayers was a bit extreme, but considering what was done to war protestors even 40 years ago, including prison, beatings, etc. it needed the full spectrum of protestors from civil disobedience, massive antiwar marches, protest songs all the way to violent war protests including bombing our war facilities. Singing Puff the Magic Dragon was not about to make Nixon stop bombing.
To pretend that only evil traitors opposed the war is bull. As in the current war, the real traitors, enemies of the nation motivated by greedy war profiteers were the American government. Ayers was the real patriot. And now 40 years later, the real traitors, terrorists and enemies of America, the Constitution, Bill of Rights and laws of this nation are people like McCain and Palin.
If Moyer is as fucked up as this, he probably also fucked up enough to think that Obama “lies” are unforgivable and he has to vote for McCain to let Obama know that he can’t support such a liar. Personally, seems to me that Moyer deserve a swift kick in the ass, maybe enough swift kicks in the ass to kick him across the country from Washington to San Francisco. Moyer is widely regarded as one of the most dependable voices on the left.
Finally, to be as racist as the McCain/Palin ticket is in 2008, is perhaps the most unAmerican, unpatriotic and most disgusting, even traitorous of all the McCain/Palin tactics, directly opposed to the very fundamental principles of what it means to be an American. To me, all men are created equal is the true core of being American.

Mc Cain could have chosent to be honorable....think if he stood up and said in a speech, in no uncertain words, "people are getting out of hand.

Finally, to be as racist as the McCain/Palin ticket is in 2008, is perhaps the most unAmerican, unpatriotic and most disgusting, even traitorous of all the McCain/Palin tactics, directly opposed to the very fundamental principles of what it means to be an American. To me, all men are created equal is the true core of being American.
Funny how the retards latch on to all these labels for Obama (muslim, arab, terrorist), when you just know what they are actually thinking: n*gger.
I am going to so enjoy seeing all these inbred hillbillies squirming under a black president 10 times more gifted than the best of them.
He COULD have used this contraversy to gain votes. Just like Bush (well for one, could have possibly prevented 911 if he had done his job, but even after...) could have been presidential, a LEADER after 911, and used the momentum to make gains in fighting terror, making bonds with other countries. Mc Cain could have chosent to be honorable....think if he stood up and said in a speech, in no uncertain words, "people are getting out of hand. This is one of the problems in this country, demonizing, race-baiting, all of it and it has to stop. Any voter that would like to see harm done to my opponent, I do not want your vote"...etc..
This AARP rally was PATHETIC. These guys don't even believe what they're saying - they mumble the second somebody asks them a followup question. It's like a high school football rally full of octogenarians shouting "We're number one," even as the team is eighth in the league.
They're losing. They don't know what to say. So they spout off the equivalent of "your team sucks."
Whatever. This is the brilliance of watching a rancid political philosophy collapse and real time. Cherish it!
