I am listening to MSNBC, and they are discussing the "increased crowd noise" at rallies. They played several clips of horrific comments being made at McCain/Palin rallies ("Kill him!" "Terrorist!"). They discussed how it would be appropriate for the Republican candidates to disavow such unAmerican sentiments, but they have not done so.

THEN, in an attempt, I suppose, to be fair, when no such corresponding heinous activity is going on at Obama rallies, the anchor says, "Well, I've heard a lot more noise coming from the Obama crowds, too, over the last few days. You know, people really yelling and making noise? It kind of reminds me of church sermons, where the people are yelling back encouragement to the preacher, like 'You go!' and 'That's right'"

I find the juxtaposition of these TRUTHFUL characterizations quite telling. There's no exaggeration happening here. The TYPE of people who suport McCain are being represented by assholes who actually ENCOURAGE assassination. Obama supporters just want to save the nation and save the middle class, and are enthusiatic about it.

And there's this excellent post by Dave Winer:

How can you claim to "love the country" when you overtly, unapologetically HATE half of the citizens?
