Attendee at McCain rally calls Obama a 'terrorist'
...and then declared himself a teapot, short and stout!

We give $700 billion to bail out the people who took $16 billion in bonuses, $7 billion to a state that is mismanaged, $25 billion to keep Chrysler afloat while their CEO collects millions for driving the company further into the ground and this man has the nerve to point the finger and call Obama a Terrorist? Seems to me that more terror and damage has been done to this nation by those in office with republican ideals.

Mr. McCain, have you ever heard the expression,

"When you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas".

This and Mr. McCain's recent tactics are why we need someone who is actually DIFFERENT and a true change in Washington. McCain does not get this. Change means change. Barack Obama is truly a different type of politician, person and man with a vision. THIS IS GOOD!

Rednecks will fall for ANYTHING! Especially if it's in an email forward. These are the people who think being smart is being "elitist". Leave it to the Republicans to attack intellegence as a "bad" thing.

Did you hear that? The sound of the Republicans hitting rock bottom. It is so sweet yet so sad. To try to scare the white Americans with this propaganda is both amusing and pathetic. Mostly however, it is racist, and that makes me sick. If Obama does not win maybe I will support my state of Vermont succeed from the Union.

McCain and Palin have opened up this can of worms by their unethical attacks on Barack Obama. Why should he be surprised that some crazies take it a step further by calling Obama a terrorist? Heaven help us all if anything should physically happen to Obama because of this sleazy rhetoric. McCain and Palin need to realize that their are some real crazies out there. I'm not sure the American people would ever forgive or forget.

All I can say is I have no idea of where the person I thought McCain was – honorable and truthful – went. He's sure not that person now.

Why can't the McCain campaign distinguish between a political opponent and an enemy? They're just stoking the dangerous fire of division and mistrust, instead of sharing a legitimate difference of opinion in the course of a democratic process.

What disturbs me about the Republicans isn't necessarily what they believe, it is the lengths at which they will go to discredit and smear those who do not agree with them. Look at the way McCain refused to look in the direction of Obama during the first debate. I got the impression that McCain hates him and thinks that he is less than human. This isn't what
America is about.

McCain and Palin are imploding. Let them just keep it up...they are sealing their fate. Another thought, I wonder what Condalezza Rice thinks about all of this. What could a moron like Palin speak about with Rice? Ah yes....do you people eat moose steak?

If Palin and McCain keep this up and someone takes a shot at Obama, there will be no where for them to hide. They will be directly responsible for it because they are loading the gun with their desperate attempts to win this election. This is truly disgraceful and has gone beyond negative campaigning. It is dangerous campaigning and they will be responsible for a potentially deadly outcome.

That follower is one view of a larger problem. Palin makes "comments" about Obama's "terrorist" ties, and then all of a sudden you have this? Just coincidence? I think not... People are impressionable, and Palin and McCain are acting irresponsibly.

Awesome! The real republicans are showing their stuff: Hatred, intolerance, bigotry, racism. So much for their moral superiority!!!

I love it...The more they use these attacks, the more the American people speak out against them. The ship is sinking for the Republican party, and its Captain is going down with it.

Its obvious the Americam people are ignorant. When the democrats won the 2006 congressional races the dow jones was at about 12150 and now not even two years later it is under 10000. The bailout was a quick farse to take the spotlight off the true cause of the Wall Street collapse which was the democratically run house banking committee and Franklin Raines debacle as the CEO of Fannie Mae. But lets continue to be ignorant in the name of change and blame it on GW Bush. Its amazing that no one has even asked how did this happen? But then again, if its not in the best interest fo the democrats then lets just sweep it under the rug, and who cares how much it cos the American taxpayer.

You have no proof of any relationship between Obama and Ayers... NONE.

BUT we have plenty proof of the relationship between McCain and Keating. It is true McCain delayed regulators in the banking industry in the 80s through Senate legislation which allowed Keating to steal money and costs tax payers around a trillion dollars in bailout money to banks. McCain totally abused his political power in that regard. The McCain camp is making a HUGE mistake with the personal and false attacks on Obama. Especially with the KEATING 5 fixed completely to McCain's judgment.

Well, just goes to show you the rednecks are bringing this country down. Call me an "elitist", but I'm not going with them. Anyone who thinks Palin is just being "folksy" and "talking to you"....newsflash: she's talking DOWN to you. I come from middle America, and sorry, Sarah, we speak proper English. Thanks, but no thanks, McCain!

I can't believe McCain distanced them self from the Sheriff's remarks isn't that what they have been calling him all weekend.

I hope the debate tomorrow night is about issues. That is what America wants to hear about not all the mudsling. Hopefully someone in the McCain camp will finally realize that is what the voters are worried about.

The stench of desperation hangs thick where ever McCain goes.

I thought the Republicans were the moral fiber in this country.

My experience is they are mean, selfish and arrogant.

But they do run to church every Sunday which I guess makes up for their behavior.

Here are just two domestic terrorist organizations linked to McCain: the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia and the World Anti-Communist League. Add this to "Keating Five" and you've got enough material for anti-McCain ads for months to come. If you're going to throw the word/concept of "terrorist" around, make sure you don't have any skeletons in your own closet.

Great, a policeman taking aim on a black man. People in the crowd calling him a terrorist. This is raising the conversation Senator McCain and Governor Palin. Raising the tenor like this does no one any good as someone with malevolent intent may mistake this as a green light. I pray with my heart that nothing happens because of your comments Senator McCain and Governor Palin.

I think this campaign has tarnished McCain's reputation more than the Keating Five scandal. Opening up this line of attack on Obama's personal character is just going to bring out the loony, crazy people, and McCain always seemed better than that. He is going to lose, but he can do so with honor or in disgrace. It is his choice.

My whole family has always been republican, but after Bush making a complete mess of things, I started questioning giving my support to McCain. In the last week McCain's message has turned too sour to stomach. I don't think he has any solutions and I don't trust him now.

pretty sad...

Someone in the crowd responded by yelling: “Terrorist!” The crowd roared, and McCain seemed startled, but it is unclear whether he actually heard what the man shouted. He did not respond to the attack.

McCain is just pushing his followers right to the edge, and then letting them launch the attacks for him. McCain is a merchant of hate, and sadly enough, there are still people out there who are buying.

McCain 2000: "Uh, I, I just have to rely on the good judgment of the voters not to buy into these negative attack ads. Sooner or later, people are going to figure out if all you run is negative attack ads you don't have much of a vision for the future or you're not ready to articulate it."
