I will consider McCain and Palin personally responsible for any attempts on Obama's life.

[Truth2Tell]

Who's with me?

[Muttocracy]

1. me. nt

[succubus.blues]

2. me.

[JFN1]

3. And Republicans.

[KingFlorez]

4. Me

[WeDidIt]

5. DAMN STRAIGHT!

I'm with you!

[JuniperLea]

6. I'm in!

Throw the book at them!

[KewlKat]

7. I agree

They have whipped them up in a frenzy and soon will not be able to control them.

[Iwasthere]

8. Me

[BrklynLiberal]

9. Yes.

[redqueen]

10. Me.

They're convincing their unbelievably-gullible supporters that he's a terrorist.

They know exactly what they're doing.

[LibertyorDeath]

36. They are not "unbelievably-gullible"

They live in a Faith based reality of narrow mindedness and Hate.

They are Socially Retarded Sheep.

[kestrel91316]

11. Them AND the entire leadership of the Republican Party.

And I'll call it treason. In wartime. They are actively working to stir up hatred so some "lone nut" can do their dirty work.

[Iwasthere]

12. Let's see tons of votes for this one

[Shakespeare]

13. OH yeah. And their despicable statement today blaming Obama...

...for daring to criticize these people is a pre-defense along the lines of "he deserved it/provoked it" when/if one of them tries something violent.

They are scum.

[lady raven]

14. ME TOO!

[nini]

15. To be honest with you.. I think Dem voters are more at risk

Like the guy in the UK that was shot because he had an Obama shirt on.

This does not mean Obama isn't at risk but he has the secret service. Average folks like us with bumper stickers, shirts, hats, buttons etc..are going to be harassed, attacked etc, Especially black people by the white power assholes.

Things are going to get real scary.

[Truth2Tell]

18. I've already had some ugly glares

from people the last few days when they saw my Obama sticker. And this is Seattle for chrissakes!

[Pacifist Patriot]

21. Okay, that spooked me. This is the first I'd heard of it. I was just there and...

if the Obama shop had it's act together and had gotten me my shirt on time I would have been wearing it in London ten days ago.

[jberryhill]

22. Demand is really, really high...

There were 1.5 million new donors last month. It's tough to whip up that many t-shirts on short order.

[Essene]

26. id agree. right now the issue is more "civilian" violence

but then again, i think 99.999999999999% of these people at the rallies are cowards.

[Tallison]

29. I was carrying an ANA for Obama sign from the hospital today...

and a woman I crossed paths with in the parking lot (a visitor, apparently) shout out - "I got a light, if you need one"

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"A lighter, for your poster."

"Oh, there's thousands more where these came from," I said.

I thought to myself, what a malevolent comment regarding an innocuous item of free speech.

[nini]

34. You were much more civil than I could have been

I would have made some crack about the lighter and her flatulent stupid ass :evilgrin:

[Tallison]

37. I would have dealt something vicious about Palin

if I hand't still had my badge on. I also like the idea of fueling their paranoia by saying something insane and zealotous like, "Obama is the next Jesus Christ - and he turned his cheek too!"

[Cybergata]

60. Great Reply!

We should never stoop to their level. The insane, unreasonable hate that the McShame/Palin camp has ignited is now out in the open. I knew it was there just waiting to rear it's ugly head. Better to see them out in the open than sneaking up out of nowhere. With that said, I once had respect for McShame, but lost it when he prostrated himself before Bush with that <gag> "I'm not worthy" hug. <gag> Any respect I had for McShame has totally been lost with just how low he has gone in order to win. He is pandering to the lowest common denominator, and he should be too ashamed to look anyone in the face.

[Sunnyshine]

35. A bag of candy slices was thrown at my Ohio for Obama/Biden sign from truck driving down street

as the driver yelled something nuts like "Down you suckers? or fuckers?" That was just last week!

We were putting mums and pumpkins in fall garden display and its located close to the signs in my yard

He was flying down the hill and my house sits in the dip, it happened so fast that I looked up only to see it was an old junker truck, grayish with lots of rust and a ladder hanging out back.

My daughter (who was on the porch) came down to see what it was. Orange candy slices in a bag, busted all over the yard. Driver had a good aim and hit the sign, but did not knock it down.

Couple months ago, Mr.OMomma was driving my van, and another dude in another truck pulled up to him and yelled Ni**erlover out his window! He sat at the light starring over at hubby, revving his engine and saying some other BS, as hubby rolled up van window and turned up the music on the radio.

He kindly gave him the peace sign and turned left on the green arrow.

[nini]

51. Their aggression will only get worse the more it sinks in they're losing

Scary

[BlooInBloo]

16. All who support the republican ticket are accomplices.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

59. Please don't be stupid. People can disagree on policy without being bigots or violent mobs.

[Barack_America]

17. With all due respect, we need to stop bringing this up too. nt

[Truth2Tell]

20. I understand your point of view.

But I strongly disagree. This needs to be called out, IMHO.

[Tallison]

24. Yes, I fear it only contributes to bad buzz

that somehow legitimizes dialogue about it and thereby the very prospect.

[City Lights]

19. Me. nt

[parasim]

23. as well as their accomplices... Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck, PUMA, Larry Johnson...

[Essene]

25. hate would be to blame, but blood would be on their hands absolutely

[Tim4319]

27. Two times!

[eshfemme]

28. I've heard people say this but: Not one hair on Obama's head is to be touched.

Or there will be hell to pay for McCain, Palin, the Republicans and everyone else complicit in encouraging this. I wouldn't be surprised either to see some sort of backlash against whites in general (even if it's unwarranted and unfair since the racist whites are really the exception to the rule in lots of areas.)

They need to seriously think before going further in opening this can of worms.

[1corona4u]

30. I'm with you.

In fact, I was wondering today, where the liability would be, like under which law? Wouldn't that fall under wrongful death? If they incited someone to harm him, and it could be proven?

[Sodan]

31. me

[COLGATE4]

32. ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!!!!!!!

These idiots are winding up their crowds of adoring mouth breathers to such a fever pitch that I believe it'll be good luck and, fortunately the protection of the Secret Service that prevents a tragedy in Obama being killed. All the would-be KKKers are slipping into their mental hoods right now and I'm sure that, in more than one barroom, probably in the Deep South, somebody's muttering something like "Somebody's got to take the bull by the horns and kill that uppity Nigger!". For those of us old enough to remember Dallas and Martin Luther King, all it takes is one of these, and with the incendiary rhetoric Wrinkly and Winky are belching out to their peasants with pitchforks mob, it isn't hard to see one of the faithful deciding to help them out by taking Obama out. God help us if that happens. But you're right - if it does, McCain and Brainless are directly responsible for starting and fanning these flames of hate.
:mad:

[Genevieve]

33. me. nt

[Top Cat]

38. I'm with u all the way

[JustAnotherGen]

39. I am

[eridani]

40. Absolutely. And if you haven't yet written to your Congresscritters and the media--

--about this yet, why haven't you?

[Stellabella]

41. Yep.

And to the streets it will be if, God forbid, something does happen.

[bunkerbuster1]

42. WAY beyond that--they're responsible for any violence against Democrats

They own this shit now.

[Lil Missy]

43. I wonder if someone put a bug in their ears about inciting death threats toward Obama.

And thus, McSame's toning down and calling for Obama to be considered with respect. And pushing back against comments that he is a terrorist or Arab today.

I saw another thread too, that O'Liely is downplaying the Ayers/terrorist angle too.

It is my understanding that there have been more death threats against Obama, which I am sure the Secret Service are not amused with. There are laws against inciting violence and death threats. And it doesn't take much to whip some repuke nutcases into a frenzy.

[stuntcat]

44. Me.

They've started up a scared violent racist mob.

[mascarax]

[KathieG]

47. Absolutely

:mad:

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

48. I'm with you 100%!!!

[LittleBlue]

49. Palin

I consider Palin responsible.

[realitythink]

50. I've been worried about this for quite some time

Now I'm haunted by the behavior of the McCain clan these past several days. I keep thinking about that crazy fucker that killed a bunch of people at the Unitarian church this past summer. He was motivated by hateful right wing talk radio. Now they've uped the ante by like 1000% with this stunt. The Palins are very dangerous people. I believe they are fully on board with this. If they ever manage to have control of our country this is what it will be like.

[StopTheNeoCons]

52. Palin would be solely responsible

[mcg]

53. I am.

[sunnybrook]

54. I think he knows that too

She is too stupid and/or racist to care.... but he knows that

[misterconcept]

55. Look Under Any Rock of Ages--The Religious Right is Neither

In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Amendment into the law of the land. Before the ink was dry on that document, Johnson made the following statement, "I have just delivered the South to the Republican party for the next generation." Unfortunately for America, Johnson was wrong. The insurmountable level of bigotry and racism prevalent in 1966 has been genetically transmitted to every subsequent generation and sadly; it appears to be a dominant gene.

The Republican Party is apparently satisfied with portraying itself as being composed of two separate factions. The upper echelon contains the party leadership, which is staffed by slick (not to be confused with intelligent) opportunists who are owned by various private interests and aspire to remain on their respective payrolls indefinitely. These individuals are supported by the community of affluence, which has no interests in political policies and is void of social consciousness. Its membership simply refuses to part with its wealth and is indifferent to the concerns of anyone not included in the higher Arcana. The second group, far greater in number, is populated by the descendants of those referenced in President Johnson's quote. This is the element to whom Sarah Palin has the greatest appeal.

In the late 60's and early 70's, many sports teams signed specific players whose positions required unique skills. If an opposing player was having an exceptionally productive game the "specialist" was charged with the task of distracting the star with insults and derogatory statements designed to precipitate an altercation resulting in the ejection of both players. These "specialists" were euphemistically referred to as 'the goon squad.' This job description defines Sarah Palin's role in the Republican Party. Sarah Palin is the Jesse Ventura of Alaska, a state whose entire population is equal to 20 percent of the population of the city of Chicago; a state, which can boast of the second highest per capita alcohol consumption in the United States. It is likely that her successful election to office was facilitated by the two thirds of the state being hung over on Election Day. Palin's Vice-Presidential campaign is directed specifically to people like herself: ignorant, narrow-minded, and shortsighted. Her strategy is to spew inflammatory accusations about Obama's character and associations, lying about his political views, inciting screams of, "treason," and "kill him," from her fans. One would think that the Republican Party would be embarrassed by these graphic displays by its supporters yet no statements have been made to that effect by any representatives of the party leadership. Behind closed doors, the McCain-Palin campaign advisors drool over the possibilities of extremism and violence that might be perpetrated by one of the zealots in the audience. The speeches have already been written proclaiming phony outrage and righteous indignance. I am a vocal proponent of the First Amendment however; death threats do not qualify as elements of Free Speech.

I am unable to suppress a modicum of sympathy for sorry Palin. Her political career is over. She will surely go the way of the Swift Boat Veterans whose purpose was also exhausted. Perhaps one day we'll see her on celebrity boxing with Tonya Harding. On a more optimistic note however, Palin will likely never have to work another day in her life. She will be well taken care of by the consortium of private interests who are financing this circus. This is, after all, the Republican way, is it not?

[Hansel]

56. I am, but would add

that I will consider them personally responsible for any property damage or violent crimes committed against Obama supporters. Because I think this is far more likely to happen.

[progressiveforever]

57. Especially Palin

I think she has violated some laws.

[Trajan]

58. She broke the law.....

And she didnt break the law ....
