War on the Media

John McCainI believe it's only a matter of time before something happens at one of these rallies. This ain't good.

Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."

I don't know what they think they're accomplishing, but they sure seem to be attracting mostly haters to these Palin rallies.

From the same WaPo article:

“Palin, speaking to a sea of "Palin Power" and "Sarahcuda" T-shirts, tried to link Obama to the 1960s Weather Underground. "One of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers," she 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.”

This is truly scary and dangerous stuff.

24 hours after palin was announced as mccain's vp nominee, i predicted that this would happen.

unfortunately, i am afraid that we have not seen the end of what i believe is going to be the result of the mccain campaign which is built on 20 years of increasing hatred by the base toward everyone who is not "with them."
