GOP Losing Ground (according to Gene Lyons)

Hotheads at some of Palin’s rallies have yelled out “terrorist” and “treason” at the mention of Obama’s name. “Kill him !” one crackpot reportedly hollered as the onetime Miss Congeniality chattered blithely on. Possibly she has a hearing problem, because an American politician with the intellectual acumen God gave a squirrel would know better than to leave the impression that she finds such remarks acceptable.

This has, in turn, alarmed commentators sympathetic to Democrats. New York Times columnist Frank Rich accused Republicans of stoking Nazi-style rage that could encourage assassins. “The McCain campaign,” he wrote, “has crossed the line between tough negative campaigning and inciting vigilantism, and each day the mob howls louder.” Bloggers on the Chicken Little left express fear of what one called “rubes with pitchforks out in Jesusland.”
