    All you will hear is cricktes.I don't expect you to get any real evidence, but I can post plenty of Obama to back your argument up.

    Ah yes...and now comes the crowd of people saying that those who support the other candidate are fear mongers and racists.

    When, exactly, did we lose the ability to politically disagree in this country without having to be bad people?

    This nation, regardless of which party is in control, has about 50 years left in it before the society implodes.

    True Garafalo is one person but I'm sure we could sort through an Obama rally and find as many that woudl agree with her or express similar sentiments as the crazy stuff that we saw in the video at he McCain rally.

    Great point. Often the ones who we worry the most about their speech will end up hanging themselves in the public eye with the stupidity they spout.

    I think you're using different definitions of the word "educated." I don't read DaDa's post as meaning those with advanced degrees, but instead meaning informed voters or understanding the issues.

    That may be, but we haven't really seen evidence of it. What we have seen is this.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_3SkmGHlH5g&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_3SkmGHlH5g&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    Two things that make this different than the one time when McCain did actually say something.

    1. They were just booing.

    2. When Obama put an end to it, the people actually cheered instead of booing the candidate who said they didn't need that kind of activity.

    We haven't seen the same numbers of people doing things that were even close to being as heinous. And that's another distinction... believing that McCain and Palin are psychopaths even if there are supporter per supporter matches isn't as serious. That says their judgment about 2 people are off. The rest says the people's judgment and fear of an entire race is off.

    The two are not equal in terms of how atrocious they are.

    So if you support McCain, you are ignorant. That's much better.

    Geez...this level of civil discourse would have the founding fathers rolling in their graves.

    Tell me about it. The "level of civil discourse" argument doesn't exactly favor the Republicans this year.

    So you are taking the words of a few toothless, backwoods hillbillies (and possibly cartoonish figures like T_J) and suggesting that it isn't mostly the fringe who think that way.

    Meanwhile, two longtime and respected posters in this very thread have suggested that people who are not supporting Obama are either racist, uneducated (tsk tsk, it isn't his fault, he's just not real bright), or that, at best, they are just ignorant. These people aren't the ridiculous fringe, they are in the mainstream.

    Yeah Donny...that's a REALLY fair comparison.

    Unreal.

    I actually meant the national party itself and not these ignorant racists. The GOP has been running mostly garbage since August, which (before Palin) was the reason I turned hard against McCain. Their continued non-stop sewage-fest, fear-mongering and seizures about why the world will end if Obama is elected is why I want them to get annihilated in 10 days.

    So my point was anyone supporting Republicans this year has no business whining about a lack of "civil discourse" from anyone else. It's ironic that this reminds me of the Dem kookiness when Reagan ran against Carter. When a party is out of step with the times, out of ideas and has no business at all being in power, all they can do is demonize the other party & it's candidate and hope the public is fooled. This is the state of today's wacky GOP.

    It certainly isn't all. There was the video that showed that as well. The problem is that the McCain is defending people who behave that way to a certain extent and Palin is encouraging it.

    I guess you have a hard time comprehinding what fear mongering is.Fear mongering is trying to make people believe he is a terrorist,communist,socialist,one man terror cell,dangerous as president ect..When you guys are ready to have civil political discourse on the issues, then maybe people won't see you guys as fear mongers and xenophobs.The fact that were even talking about this right now says something is wrong here.Democrats calling John McCain bush light and bush the 2nd ismuch different from what you guys are doing, and you are wrong for defending that type of behavior.

    As soon as people started carrying "Hussein" monkey dolls to political rallies and began libeling and slandering a candidate for President, who BTW is pretty much the embodiment of the American dream, as a terrorist, an Arab, a Muslim, a baby killer, a Marxist, etc. That stuff just rubs a lot of us the wrong way really fast.
