Man At Palin Rally Displays Monkey Doll Donning Obama Sticker
(CBS)
(PHILADELPHIA) As the crowd cheered at a Sarah Palin rally this morning in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a man in the audience grinned as he held up a stuffed monkey doll with a Barack Obama bumper sticker wrapped across its forehead.
The incident came at a time when McCain and Palin’s events have increasingly been fueled by angry crowds, since Palin began drawing a connection between Barack Obama and 1960s radical William Ayers, claiming that the Democratic nominee has a history of “palling around” with a terrorist.
At a rally in Lakeville, Minnesota, on Friday, McCain was booed after he called on his audience to be respectful of Obama. The Republican nominee took the microphone away from one woman who said she couldn’t trust Obama because “he’s an Arab.”
After Palin finished her remarks this morning, the man holding the stuffed monkey seemed to notice that a video camera was pointed at him, at which point he removed the Obama sticker from the doll’s head and crumpling it up in his hand. He then handed the doll to a young boy who was watching the rally from his father’s shoulders. The boy’s parents later told CBS News that they weren’t acquainted with the man who gave their son the stuffed monkey.

See all 432 CommentsHaha no problem- I''ll do it as soon as you can convince me, with FACTS, that you don''t molest small children. You know you can''t you dirty, dirty man.
I can''t wait for your hate to start flowing my way!
Your slightly unhinged ad hominem attack basically made my point for me.
Obama supporters, when threatened by cogent argument or even simple disagreement, seem unable to do anything except call people names or label them racists.
For the record:
Ayers didn''t act "Crazy". It was ideologically motivated and very well thought out planning. You insult crazy people by equating his actions with people who have mental illnesses.
The Keating scandal pales in comparison to today''s crisis, the root cause of which can be laid at the feet of Chris Dodd and Barney Frank who mandated that Freddie and Fannie buy Subprime Mortgages.
On the topic of Obama''s Economic Plan: 5 Nobel Prize Economists have suggested that it will be a disaster for the country, hardly the sort of policy that will benefit "ALL AMERICANS"
PS: Please make sure you disable Caps Lock before typing. It makes you look ... unsophisticated.
Dan Rather may be gone, but CBS''s agenda remains the same. Can we really afford 4 more years of CBS''s failed reporting and insular partisanship?
I''m also well aware of the color prejudice that exists among blacks. "The light child is the right child."
