McCain Supporter in Pottsville, PA: “Bomb Obama!”
Others waiting in line shout racist, hate-filled speech at demonstrators

(POTTSVILLE, PA)—In what has become a regular occurrence, dozens of supporters of Senator John McCain shouted racist and hate-filled speech at about 100 demonstrators yesterday in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.

One of the McCain supporters was caught on video shouting “Bomb Obama!” repeatedly. When asked what he meant, he said “Get rid of him. "I've had a number of people in the... when he gets in the White House..."

He then formed a gun with his hand and made a shooting sound.

The incident was reported immediately to Pottsville Police Captain Richard Wojciechowsky, who said it did not sound serious.

The video later was shown to the Secret Service.

Yesterday’s video, and similar videos from McCain and Palin rallies around Pennsylvania, were shot and produced by Keystone Progress. Keystone Progress is a multi-issue progressive advocacy organization that combines cutting edge online organizing and communications with rapid and hard-hitting earned media strategies.

1. I think "white" people in this nation have a special responsibility to stand up to this

Imagine if you were a black child and that's what you saw from white people. disgusting.

Those of us who are "melanin challenged" need to speak up loudly and often whenever we see or hear this shit.

2. Police chief says it doesn't sound serious?

If that was my community I'd be calling every member of the city council first thing tomorrow morning to demand that the chief be fired immediately.

3. The man with the "Bomb Obama" and the talk of shooting.. should be visited by the SS.

Hell.. when Bush was first in office all someone had to do is have a poster on their wall to get a visit. How the fuck can that man say those things and NOT be questioned??

4. Teach there kids to hate....

5. As an Alabamian

I've seen racism up close and personal-as in my own family.

Having said that, Southerners don't hold a fucking candle
to *some* Yankees in the racism department.

:puke:
