If you were watching MSNBC as I was this afternoon, you heard a McCain supporter scream "a terrorist!" when McCain asked the questions, "Who is Obama?"
Transcript:
McCain: What, what does he plan for America?Crowd: Nothing!
McCain: In short, who is the real Barack Obama?
McCain Supporter: A Terrorist! [Crowd laughs, cheers]
McCain: But my friends, you ask such questions, and all you get in response is an angry barrage of insults.
Ironic much?
This is a very dangerous path McCain and Palin have decided to take. Their new strategy of linking Obama with terrorists has appeared to pay off with the wing-nuttiest of the wingnuts. There are people who really do believe the crap these two spew, and it could very realistically end...not well.
Update via Washington Post:
Palin "goes on" after supporter yells, "Kill him!""Now it turns out, one of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers," Palin 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.
Palin went on to say that "Obama held one of the first meetings of his political career in Bill Ayers's living room, and they've worked together on various projects in Chicago."
What. The. Hell?!?
I know the answer, but for rhetoric's sake, do these people have *no* shame? This is serious stuff. People who are willing to scream this shit in public are willing to do things in private.
It was one thing for Hillary to say, "What about Ayers?" It's an entirely different matter to link a black man with a Muslim name to "terrorists." These two know exactly what they're doing, but I'm not entirely sure they understand the ramifications of their present actions.
Un-friggin-believable.
