- Wiscon551: "McCain allowed someone to shout out that Obama is a "terrorist," at a rally" So, you''re suggesting that the candidates are responsible for everything ANYONE shouts at an event? That''s one of the craziest thing I''ve heard in a long time. Of course Obama doesn''t worry about that kind of stuff, he just tells you to "get in their faces".

- Some excerpts from JFK%u2019s speech when MLK was killed%u2026..
My favorite poet was Aeschylus. He wrote: "In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."
What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or they be black.
But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings who abide in our land.
Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.
Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people. - Reply to this comment
- John43218, have you had your head buried in the sand? Let me assure you that McCain''s "experience" is more than enough reason NOT to vote support anyone other than Obama / Biden in this election. I suggest you read: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/05/emrolling-stoneem-mccain_n_132093.html

- The McCain / Palin campaign is inciting violence. Yesterday McCain allowed someone to shout out that Obama is a "terrorist," at a rally. The Palin rallies are even scarier. This from the Washington Post:
"Palin''s routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric''s questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."
And this -
"The reception had been better in Clearwater, where Palin, speaking to a sea of "Palin Power" and "Sarahcuda" T-shirts, tried to link Obama to the 1960s Weather Underground. "One of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers," she said. ("Boooo!" said the crowd.) "And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, ''launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol,'' " she continued. ("Boooo!" the crowd repeated.)
"Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience. - Reply to this comment
- It is clear that the McCain/Palin Campaign is now only speaking to the far right wing base of the Conservative Republican Party.
McCain and his crony Sarah of the Yukon are only about right wing issues and will not be the Mavericks of Change and reform they%u2019ve falsely touted. - Reply to this comment
- John McCain has no business talking about any body elses character.
We have learned in the past 2 years that John McCain is a very crafty, unstable, dishonorable man. - Reply to this comment
- John McCain member of the Keating five and now apparently hob knobber with Nazi sympathizers in his own little private Iran Contra group. John McCain shouldn''t be passing moral judgment on anyone with the moral failings he possesses.

- McCaine is gasping for air. He is empty of intellect until it comes to war. I am not a soccer mom,hockey mom or a six-pack joe. Sarah Palin a condesending wind bag, and now she reads the New York Times. Read the article on John McCaine on the Rollingstone web site. GOP supporters think, he has no regard for you-just wants your vote. He didn''t have the brass to not sign the bail out bill after weeks of saying he would not sign any bill with ear marks attached. Well that was one big pig we have to pay for without the lipstick.
