1. I'm not sure we want them to stop.
For once swing-voters get see Republicans on TV acting the same way they do in real life.

3. Stop?
These people are coming off to rational Americans as moonbats. If anything more light needs to be shined upon their ugliness.

11. That's all well and good... but someone could get hurt!
So what if Obama wins by default?

Take their smarmy asses all off to jail for inciting a riot!

7. It *needs* to go on, IMO.
This is only pushing more and more voters our way, especially with the economy the way it is. By Monday this story will have legs and, behind the economy, will be what's on people's minds.

10. It's getting dangerous. These people are the scary
Edited on Fri Oct-10-08 04:52 PM by Phx_Dem
lunatic portion of the GOP. If Timothy McVeigh were alive, he'd probably be in the crowd with them.

I didn't send letters to the networks news shows because they don't show the rallies like the cable shows do. They simply report on the hate mongering, which they should. But the cable shows are acting dangerously irresponsible in showing these inciteful rallies to hundreds of thousands of people who wouldn't otherwise see them. I'm sure alot of scary losers see this shit on TV and get themselves worked into a tizzy.

8. Agreed. MSM is saying it's okay if they aren't jumping out of their seats crying "FOUL!"
Especially, after the statement from McCain camp about this.

This is showing their true colors, yes I do believe this, it's in our face, it's impossible to miss.. BUT......

BUT......

It's inciting VIOLENCE. Plain and simple. This is dangerous and I think SAFETY trumps shining a light on their disgusting Hate Talk Express.

9. Agreed! I sent letters to CNN and MSNBC
asking them to stop showing the angry mob rallies. It's past time for them to put McCain on notice and let him know that as long as he continues to incite anger, hate and potential violence against a sitting U.S. Senator, his rallies should cease to have airtime. Period.

If something happens to anyone because of the McCain-induced hatefest, John McCain and Sarah Palin will be held responsible and the cable shows that continued to broadcast their mob rallies after it was clear they were intentionally whipping the lunatic fringe into a frenzy, will also bear responsibility.

Enough is fucking enough. Their level of irresponsibility is astounding.

I posted this on another thread, but this thread is more to the point so I'm reposting.

And thanks for the media list, Frenchie!

12. The US Media Corps loves this crap.
It's great for their ratings, the only freakin' thing they care about.

13. Yeah, but they don't love it when their audience
turns on them because the next step is usually contacting their advertisers. They don't love anyone more than the advertisers.

14. Not surprising. They did this in 2004 with the Smear Boat Vets
Edited on Fri Oct-10-08 06:49 PM by politicasista
But it's Kerry's fault for not "responding" when the media gave more airtime to the liars than the campaign's response and the surrogates (the few that came out) :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :rofl:

Even though the hate is far worse, glad we have Obama's back this time.
