The MSM Refuses To Cover Just How Radical and Fringe McCain/Palin Have Become
Edited on Mon Oct-27-08 07:06 PM by Median Democrat
There was brief coverage about the efforts of McCain/Palin to equate Obama with terrorists, and the shouts of "kill him" and "Off with his head." However, the MSM has suddenly gone silent about the connection between the tactics of the McCain campaign, and recent ugly incidents such as:

1. The attempts by McCain staff, Ashley Todd, to try to start a race war by claiming that she was attacked by a black Obama supporter.
2. The skinhead plot.
3. The hysterical efforts to portray Obama as a socialist and follower of Karl Marx.
4. The repeated actions of GOP officials (such as Sacramento) in portraying Obama as a muslim or a terrorist.

The MSM always portrays these events as isolated incidents when it is clear that the McCain campaign has been actively encouraging such hatred through its wild rhetoric and efforst to distract voters from focusing on the economy and the proposals of the candidates.

Most recently, McCain is now calling Obama "dangerous."

Bottom line: The MSM has once again grown shy about calling the McCain camp, and RW pundits for their distortions and wild eyed accusations.

1. Grown shy?
They're part of the McCain campaign, just as they were part of the Bush campaign. Fewer and fewer americans believe their shit as the days go by though

5. McCain Is Now Calling Obama "Dangerous" - No Wonder You Have The Skinhead Plot
Edited on Mon Oct-27-08 07:10 PM by Median Democrat
This is a major party presidential candidate accusing Obama of palling around with terrorists, being un-American, elitist, socialist, killing babies, and now dangerous. Is it any wonder that McCain's followers are increasingly being driven to more and more outrageous stunts?

McCain: http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/sprinttotheoval/archive/2008/10/27/in-cleveland-mccain-talks-of-a-dangerous-threesome.aspx

"This election comes down to how you want your hard-earned money spent. Do you want to keep it and invest it in your future, or have it taken by the most liberal person to ever run for the presidency and the Democratic leaders who have been running Congress for the past two years—Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid? This is a dangerous threesome,” McCain declared
