GOP Anger Unleashed At McCain Rallies

Washington Post: Campaign Is At The Center Of An Outpouring Of Raw Emotion Rare In A Presidential Race

There were shouts of "Nobama" and "Socialist" at the mention of the Democratic presidential nominee. There were boos, middle fingers turned up and thumbs turned down as a media caravan moved through the crowd Thursday for a midday town hall gathering featuring John McCain and Sarah Palin.

"It is absolutely vital that you take it to Obama, that you hit him where it hits, there's a soft spot," said James T. Harris, a local radio talk show host, who urged the Republican nominee to use Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., and others against him.

"We have the good Reverend Wright. We have [the Rev. Michael L.] Pfleger. We have all of these shady characters that have surrounded him," Harris bellowed. "We have corruption here in Wisconsin and voting across the nation. I am begging you, sir. I am begging you. Take it to him."

The crowd of thousands roared its approval.

In recent days, a campaign that embraced the mantra of "Country First" but is flagging in the polls and scrambling for a way to close the gap as the nation's economy slides into shambles has found itself at the center of an outpouring of raw emotion rare in a presidential race.

"There's 26 days and people are looking at the very serious possibility that there's a chance that Obama might get in, and they don't like that," said Ian Eltrich, 28, as he filed out of the crowded sports complex.



"I'm mad! I'm really mad!" another man said, taking the microphone and refusing to surrender it easily, even when McCain tried to agree with him.

"I'm not done. Lemme finish, please," he said after a standing ovation. "When you have Obama, [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and the rest of the hooligans up there going to run the country, we have to have our head examined.

"It's time that you two represent the rest of us. So go get 'em."

The crowd burst into loud chants of "U-S-A! U-S-A!"

Standing at the center of the crowd, McCain and Palin drew on the crowd's energy as they repeatedly trained their fire on Obama.

"Senator Obama has a clear radical, far-left, pro-abortion record," McCain said after being asked about the issue.

The answer prompted a shower of boos from the crowd members. They booed again when he mentioned William Ayers, who bombed U.S. facilities to protest the Vietnam War as part of the domestic terrorist group the Weather Underground. They booed again at the mention of Rep. Barney Frank, a liberal from Massachusetts.

McCain spends most of his time at his rallies and town hall meetings lambasting his rival, often calling him a "co-conspirator" with congressional Democrats in what he argues are the seeds of the financial crisis at mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

"Will you assure us," one woman asked, "that, as president, you will take immediate action to investigate, prosecute and name the names of the people actually responsible?"

"I will," McCain answered.

"The same people that are now claiming credit for this rescue are the sme ones that were willing co-conspirators in causing this problem that it is," he said, raising his voice to be heard over the crowd. "You know their names. You will know more of their names."

Horserace: Kerry Condemns "Hate-Filled" Language At McCain-Palin Rallies

---

The crowds that show up for his rallies these days appear to have little appetite for the talk of bipartisan compromise that had been at the heart of his message around the Republican National Convention. During a rally outside a small airport in Mosinee, Wis., on Thursday, McCain said that "it's time we come together, Democrats and Republicans to work together. That's my record. I'll reach across the aisle."

The crowd stood silent.

At the town hall gathering here, McCain praised Harris for his "courage" in speaking his mind. But, heedful of the economic chaos gripping the country, McCain sought to steer away, at least briefly, from attacks on Obama's character and integrity.

"Yes, I'll do that," he said of the request to "take it to" Obama. "But I also, my friends, want to address the greatest financial challenge of our lifetime with a positive plan for action that Senator Obama and I have. We need to restore hope and trust and confidence in America and have Americans know that our best days are ahead of us. That's the future and strength and beauty of America."

As the crowd filed out, several said they agreed with the man who said he was mad. Others went further.

"No, I'm not mad, I'm pissed," said Joan Schmitz, who owns a plumbing company here. She said she was frustrated with polls showing Obama surging, McCain's performance in a Tuesday night debate, Obama himself, the media, and the liberal group ACORN, which she said was registering voters fraudulently.

Noting Obama's connections with Ayers, she said that "if it was a Republican, it would be nonstop," referring to what she said was the media ignoring the controversial acquaintance.

"I can't stand to look at him, I don't trust him. I don't like the circle of friends he keeps, I don't like his policies," Schmitz said of Obama. "I'm pissed off by it. I'm beyond mad. How is he climbing up in the polls?"

On the way into the event, the Republican Party of Wisconsin handed out fliers reading "Your Vote Is Being Stolen," an anti-ACORN leaflet that concluded, "Why is vote fraud allowed? Vote fraud is allowed since it benefits Democrats."

The crowd showed equal disdain for the media, fueled by comments from Palin, who encouraged the Republican supporters to take the campaign's message around the media. "I can't pick a fight with those who buy ink by the barrel," she said. "It's dangerous territory whenever I suggest the mainstream media isn't asking all the questions."

That message was clearly shared among the crowd. Mike Payne, who traveled from Madison, Wis., for the rally, rejected the idea that McCain's supporters are angry, preferring to use the word "frustrated."

"It might have something to do with you guys," he told a reporter.

"It's not anger at all. It's frustration. There's millions of people around the country that think like we do. You guys refuse to acknowledge that, and you insult our intelligence by misreporting the information. You are treating [Obama] like he's Britney Spears and covering him like he's Paris Hilton, instead of the next president of the United States, potentially."

McCain advisers dismissed the crowd's angry tone as an exception and not representative of most of the campaign's events. And they noted that those gathered seemed most upset by the media's handling of the contest, and simply wanted McCain to be more aggressive.

They also noted that many of McCain's events ar attended by liberal protesters, who often yell epithets and hold angry signs as McCain's bus drives by. And they recalled angry words from Obama at a rally in Las Vegas last month, in which he urged supporters to talk to their friends and neighbors, saying "I want you to argue with them and get in their face."

[suzyku]

These hate filled rallies must be stopped before real violence occurs! mccain/palin are encouraging this dangerous behavior and doing nothing to stop it! They are responsible, they are appealing to the lowest elements of our society, they are holding KKK rallies, not political rallies. They are spewing hatred and must be stopped before something terrible happens! This is not acceptable. McCain/Palin have sunk to the lowest depths and the news media needs to point out what they are doing at every opportunity. It is the responsibility of main stream media to call these people out over and over and over until they stop!

[stevex47]

Wow. The Nazi''s have reared their ugly heads again. Amazing. Good job W.

[usclimey]

"On the way into the event, the Republican Party of Wisconsin handed out fliers reading "Your Vote Is Being Stolen," an anti-ACORN leaflet that concluded, "Why is vote fraud allowed? Vote fraud is allowed since it benefits Democrats."

God, these people are amazing. GOPig voter fraud has fixed the last two elections, but of course, no, it''s only the democrats who cheat. WAAAAHH, WAAAHH, WAAAHH.

[truthspeake2]

Their idiotic madness needs to be directed at themselves...bunch of morons but in the words of their famous leader, BRING IT ON!

[joker1944-2009]

What a bunch of losers. Sorry GOP piggies, your party is over.

Why on earth would any Americans want to the Republicans in charge? They''ve driven the nation INTO THE GROUND.

Any American who values his or her party more than the nation is a traitor. And it looks like McCain''s rallies are turning into little hate-filled traitor conventions.

[usclimey]

This really is beginning to sound like the fascist meetings of the thirties. It won''t be long before these over the top McCain supporters start violence in the streets. I sure hope Obama''s Secret Service detail is the best.

[KathyTowhee]

Now they know how the rest of us have felt for the past 8 years.

[joker1944-2009]

How long before one of these hate-filled hut jobs takes a shot at Obama? Seriously, McCain''s poll numbers are tanking, the trooper-gate report is due out any moment, red states like MO, IN and KS are sliding into the ''toss-up'' category.

Don''t think that more than one of these rightwing loonies aren''t thinking it. And many more are silently hoping for it.

[DCropp]

Things got worse today.

John and Cindy turned their heads and looked at supporters yelling this hate. Again, they did nothing. They can no longer deny hearing it.

[liberal4sure]

john and palin are going around firing their ''base'' up with lies. Very few of them actually investigate the facts, because if they did they would realize their buddy, mccain was largely responisble for this mess with his deregulator self. And ayers and Obama served on an education board giving out education grants with Annenberg who supports mccain. That is about as friendly as they''ve been. And what about palin''s witch craft ceremony so she could be governor. See these psychopath repugs only hear what they want, and close their minds to the truth.

[dakkotadawg]

I''m glad I''m not alone in my opinion of what these "rallys" seem to be. As much as you may want to blame these people for their hatefull behavior, it''s the GOP leadership that is pushing this action. There is truly no class on the McFailin ticket. Hate & fear, very nazilike.

[liberal4sure]

How dare repugs complain about an election and voter fraud when they rigged the last two elections.

[inventagod2]

Brown Shirts for all McSame supporters!

[dburfears]

McCain and Palin are one step away from inciting treason. The next time they hear their supporters yell "kill him" about Obama, Palin and McCain had better reign in their lunatic supporters.

These rabid Far-Right "believers" are dangerous.

[dburfears]

It was funny, scary, and sad to see interviews with these McCain/Palin brown shirts. They actually BELIEVE the Rush/Hannity/Fox/McCain propaganda.

McCain and the Republican Propaganda Machine is not the first to believe that you can control people with lies. The Republicans are following the lead of their earlier BRETHEREN:




"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
-- Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler''s propaganda minister

[joker1944-2009]

Moderates and indepedents will be horrified at the lack of response and condemnation of these outrageous smears and attacks on Obama''s character. When someone shouts out that Obama is a ''terrorist'' and McCain does NOTHING in a manner of reply, he is tacitly approving of what is said - which is disgusting and beneath the dignity of the office McCain holds.

Little hate fests might get the mob worked up, but the larger picture makes McCain look desperate and filthy.

[afmca]

This is what I have been saying for years, the Republican base has no idea how to function in a true republic. They would gladly live under a dictator or king if this leader would only believe in what they believe in. The core Republican is not educated enough to understand another''s point of view so be prepared for a lot more hatred, bigotry, and possibly violence as the Republican chances decrease. For all the Independents out there I think this proves the danger of the core Republican and how little respect or tolerance they have for other viewpoints and people that don''t match their criteria of being white, pseudo-christian, and wealthy.

[sethw76]

The crazy far-right wing of the Republican party is making the whole party look bad. Hopefully people are finally waking up and noticing that the days of fearmongering and lies need to come to an end.

[jayceer1]

How many negatives must there be against this man? How many questionable associations? How many times can he change his position on the issues to get more votes? His economic policy would be poison to a sick U.S. economy! The Democrats in charge of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac were a huge contributor to the housing market meltdown (ACORN Housing involved here, too) and yet no one is questioning them? The federal investigation into FM/FM has been postponed until after the election by Democrats who do not want the results of the investigation to reflect poorly on Obama at the polls! Where is the public outcry? Obama wants to pull out of Iraq prematurely on the one hand and advocates attacking Pakistan without provocation on the other! Is he dangerously naive or just dangerous? What the heck are we, as a nation, doing? Allowing Democrat-sponsored suicide???

There are remote paranoid cultures where the death of a tribesman means that the universe must be rebalanced, and to do so the tribesmen will go out and hunt down some random person of another tribe, sacrifice, cook and eat in a very serious religious ceremony which makes the tribe feel safe and back to the normal harmony.

I used to think that this bizarre ritual only existed in the remotest areas of our planet, but, on better thought, I guess we did see this in extremous, during the rise of Nazism.

Observing the unreasoned, irrational, hysterical need of the mobs at the McCain and Palin rallies to pull down and destroy, I understand now that this paranoia is just a potential behaviour that we all share, even in democracies. Given the right circumstances.

Let us not forget, that the Great Depression, worst in Germany, was prelude to that rise of the Nazis.

There is no doubt in my mind, that McCAin and Palin are purposely arousing these dark fears, and that they want to sacrifice a black man on the alter of their own political ambitions.

Given the economic crisis, I am truly worried that this reckless and irresponsible rabble raising of the McCain and Palin could percipitate an assasination attempt on Obama - and can be a prelude to even worse to come as the Republicans split and pit us against each other.

[shingles1]

Rile up the base, and alienate the independents who will determine the outcome of this election. Brilliant strategy on the part of McCain''s moronic campaign staff!

I got a chuckle out of the McCain camp''s complaint today that Obama "is using America%u2019s economic crisis to deflect legitimate criticisms of himself and his record."

These guys are a parody of themselves.

[makemyday2da]

It''s really pathetic when McLame & Pain (intentional misspelling!) will egg on the crowds to this much hatred. Considering the Republicans are considered more ''christian'' and/or ''conservative'', their attitudes are anything but. I used to be Republican but now independent - but will refuse to vote ANYONE Republican while they carry on with their campaign of hate. Their remarks are often clearly racist - but, of course, they deny, deny, deny.

We do NOT need someone in office who tries to win an election with hate - instead of the issues at hand!

[shayjo-2009]

James T. Harris is exhibiting a type of self hatred that is unusual for this day and age. Even if he has strong feelings against Mr. Obama, he needs to not vent this in such a forum. Or, could it be that he is actually an under cover supporter. Mr. Harris - there is the story of the ax that walked into the forest to cut down a tree and the trees said: "look, the handle is one of us." Shame on YOU!!!

[zorar-2009]

Another example of a low-information voter who gets all of the information they believe from Hannity, Rush, and the rest of the right wing. These parrots can''t think for themselves. They BELIEVE they do, but their thinking is so clouded with revved-up hate and misinformation.

These people believe that there is a massive conspiracy against them. They believe that their views are the only "American" views, and that anyone who disagrees is "dangerous" or a "traitor" or a "commie".

this is a perfect example of the kind of people who blindly and reflexively support the jingoistic campaigns of the neocons. The same neocons who have taken over the Republican Party and are driving the country into a fascist frenzy.

It happened in Germany. It can happen here. Beware of the rabid insane rallies and the politicians who stoke the fears of Americans in order to keep power.

You are right but any self respecting Republican has already left the Republican party. There was a comment about the swing voter it is true but in this case it may be that we never again vote for a Republcian.

This is very scary their anger was beyound normal demon fanatical.

Guess it must be hard to come to grips with reality when you are being driven mad by the devil.

[mel130nygirl]

Obama is a Christian and so is McCain - it is Palin you should be worried about - she truly believes that her beliefs in God are the only RIGHT beliefs... Anyone who doesn''t believe her EXACT TYPE OF ''specific Christian views'' is WRONG!!!!

So much for Christian tolerance... during McCain''s/Palin''s RNC speech in front of there RNC supporters this week - you can plainly hear her supporters shout - terrorist, terrorist and one shouting "KILL HIM" - and the sad FACT is Palin is smiling while this RNC idiot is threatening to KILL the U.S. Presidential Candidate!!!!!

Meanwhile, back at the Palin secessionist ranch....
Volger said, %u201CI am an Alaskan. They know it. I%u2019ve told them to go to hell in every way I can in a nice way. I took a case to the Supreme Court believing in the Supreme Court, but I%u2019d rather be tried in a ********** with the madam as the Judge. There is more Justice in a ********** than in the Supreme Court. And if they don%u2019t like they know where they can go; and if you think I am ever going to forget that, the fires of Hell are glaciers compared to my hate for the American government, and I won%u2019t be buried under their d@mn flag.%u201D

[mel130nygirl]

Here''s Cindy''s whopper from yesterday''s RNC campaign stop when she said she was disgusted that Obama did help her son in Iraq by not funding the troops:

The McCain campaign''s "ad facts" also point to a single troop-funding bill that Obama voted against in 2007. As we''ve written before, Obama first voted for a version of the bill that included a timetable for withdrawal. President Bush vetoed the bill. Obama then voted against a version that did not contain withdrawal language. And for the record, McCain himself voted against the troop-funding bill when it contained withdrawal language. (Factcheck.org)

Hey Cindy - turn to your RIGHT when you are in bed as your own HUSBAND vetoed against FUNDING FOR OUR TROOPS and HIS SON!

Cindy you have no HONOR and you are NOT JACKIE KENNEDY!!!! YOU ARE A REFORMED DRUG ADDICT WHO WILL LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE to get into the White House!!!!!

[bhdfield]

Hate and the Right. Or is that The Reich? These people know nothing more than violent reaction and hate. The world would be better off without them. These morons keep screaming about Ayers, and how the media won''t cover it. BS. I''ve seen probably 5 stories about it, including on Fox. They''ve wrecked this country over the past 8 years, and wonder why the tide has turned. Is it hate, or just plain stupidity? Hate and stupidity are a match made in heaven, and have found perfect incubation with the GOP.

[liberalme]

All the McCain camp needs to do next would be to pass out white sheets to their cult members and we''ll be right back into the 50''s.

What a hateful way to run a campaign--I hope this boosts Obamas ratings up to an out of reach figure for McCain---can''t wait til the Wednesday night debates---Obama is ready and waiting!

[michael0004]

What Palin and now McCain have done is to light a match and throw it onto the "gasoline drenched" right wing nuts and their sycophants. What happened to McCain and his "Country First" philosophy? I guess it has given way to "win the election" at all costs. And the costs are so high to this country and the implications so great, I''m hesitant to point them out.

[mel130nygirl]

She told the AIP delegates, %u201CGood luck on a successful and inspiring convention, keep up the good work and God bless you.%u201D

[idnnsg]

The GOP has done all they can to destroy this once-great nation.

We are no longer admired or respected throughout the world because we use lies to start illegal wars of agression to steal other peoples'' wealth. We no longer stand for "truth, justice, and the American way", but rather, we stand for cruelty and torture. Our economy has been crushed, robbed by the close friends of the shysters in power. Our debt is mounting to an unprecedented level. Our jobs have been outsouced. Our unregulated economy is collapsing. Our freedoms are in peril. etc.

... and yet there are STILL some people who would rather hurl misguided invectives at a man who sincerely wants to unite this nation and redirect it back towards greatness. I guess it''s easier for some people to blame the "other" than it is to admit their own complicity in creating this gawd-awful mess we''re in!

Let''s all pray that these inbred imbeciles are in the minority, as current polls clearly show they are. Otherwise, we are all doomed.

[beauin]

welcome to the next civil war, it is just starting, and since democrats are anti-gun, who do you think will win, I put my money on the gun and bible cluthcing crowd.

[lilbrother4]

i have been angry for the last eight years, but never resorted to inflamitory hate speach. sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. remember the wheel turns. the side that is on top will one day be on the bottom, so continue to be a decent person even when you are on top.

[irreverent1-2009]

You know it''s funny some of those folks from Waukesha which is traditionally a Republican stronghold. They speak of corruption in Wisconsin and there has been like when Democratic and Republican legislators used state employees to campaign for them on state time. But the Democrats that were convicted did their time and paid their fines unlike Scotty Jensen the Republican legislative leader that was convicted but appealed on the grounds that "everybody was doing it" and his conviction was overturned by an appeals court. He has yet to go back to court on this. Martha Stewart is more of a man then he is because she did her time.

[lilbrother4]

will palin push for alaska''s sucession if she becomes vp? it is a couse that''s very important to her.

[makemyday2da]

beauin - it''s attitudes exactly like your''s that are destroying this nation: bibles and bullets. VERY dangerous combination that compares equally to the Taliban and other terrorist organizations

[ixoye_02]

This raw emotion on display is really the last gasps coming from a moribund republican party that is reading the writing on the wall. The republicans have been in power for nearly 8 years, and have been at the helm and in FULL control of policy under Bush. And now the fruits of deregulation, a bungled war in Iraq, and lip service paid by the republicans to the American people are coming to fruition. And it''s devasting!!! It''s time to payback the republicans (really controlled by the neocon puppet masters) and kick them out of power at all levels in Washington. And McCain/Palin need to shut up about issues that don''t matter when people''s retirement money, homes, and jobs are lost because of poor leadership from Bush and the republican congress!!!!

[oscarez]

Boy, you GOPigs are having a hard time understanding that YOU no longer have the votes to win. So, get over it!!!

Actually thinking that taxpayers were going to pay the full original loan value for a pre-foreclosed house and then renegotiate THAT HOUSE back to the pre-foreclosed home owner at THE ACTUAL & NEW VALUE OF THE HOUSE (which is much less) - IS JUST ONE MORE RNC @UCK AFTER ANOTHER!!!!!

Obama ''''08!!!!!

[wiscon551]

This outpouring of fear, racism and rancid hatred is starting to look like German in the 1930''s. McCain and Palin are deliberately, like the Nazis, stoking violence. This, from today: "John McCain''s rally on Friday once again inspired furious reactions from his supporters, with one woman screaming "traitor!" as McCain criticized Barack Obama''s tax record.

"He promised higher taxes on electricity," McCain charged at the event in La Crosse, Wisconsin. "He voted for the Democratic budget resolution that promised to raise taxes on people making just $42,000 a year." At that point, the woman yelled "traitor," and both McCain and his wife Cindy appeared to look in her direction." Obama is, unfortunately, already more-at-risk than other candidates. How dare the Republican presidential campaign play with fire in this way. They cannot win on the issues so try, in the ugliest fashion possible, to take out their candidate in another way.

Give me a break! The Media has nothing to talk about (What about obamas usavory connections to least 20 things?). His middle name is so unsavory that the mere mention is a cuss word and the media won''t even breath it''s sound..
