Inflammatory Republican rallies raise concern

3 hours ago

WAUKESHA, Wisconsin (AFP) — Shouts of "terrorist" and "treason" aimed at Barack Obama have echoed around Republican rallies, whipping up into alarming, hate-filled frenzies against the Democratic White House hopeful.

Republican presidential nominee John McCain has taken to asking, "Who is the real Barack Obama?" at rallies this week, leading one supporter in Pennsylvania, a blue-collar battleground state to shout back, "he is a bomb."

Before the rally, local Republican leader Bill Platt warmed up the crowd by several times referring to "Barack Hussein Obama," focusing on the Illinois senator's middle name, trying to highlight his differences with other Americans.

Chants of "Nobama, Nobama" mingled with cries of "terrorist," as one banner in the crowd declared: "Go ahead, let the dogs out."

3. These Republican rallies are getting out of control

Someone needs to say something to John McCain so he will reign in this mob mentality.

I wont get my hopes up.

7. i had a boss that started acting like McSame when she was in the final stages of dying from cancer

she had always had anger management problems and deep seated prejudices.. got a lot worse when she started wearing the Morphine pump to work and getting tanked up at lunch... seemed her only purpose was to make as many people suffer as much possable with what little time she had left.

2. You Mean These Assholes That Are Scared To Death Of Terrorists

4. Where are responsible Republicans who should be condemning this stuff?!

Remember when Republicans still had some who would have come out against this?

It's appalling that it is happening, but more appalling that McCain, Palin, and others have not publicly denounced these events.

5. "Where are responsible Republicans"

They are easy to find...they are in lockstep behind Karl Rove/Hate based Politics.

6. When was that?

This has been their approach for years. What makes this year worse is that they have added the race card.

8. 1973 Watergate is one good example

I seem to recall a few who voted against removing President Clinton, too.

So, in answer to your question, the last time would have been before Bush was installed.
