am i the only person who thinks the picture is ironic after they've spent months labeling Obama as elitist? I know all the campaigns stay in nice hotels but it's a little ironic to see that bus parked there?

Speaking of ironic – I find it ironic to hear all these country bumpkins (and I can say that because i live there) inciting rage and hate – saying Obama wants to destroy America and the Constitution. Are these the same people who supported Bush and the no separation of church and state, legislation of morality, violation of 1st amendment, 4th branch of gov't VP? Isn't it ironic that these people who rail that Obama will violate the Constitution are the same folks who seceded and tried to quite the Constitution over racial issues.

We've been angry for 8 years so you're just going to have to deal. Obama doesn't hate America – his ideas for how it should be run are different than we've seen in a while – which polls seem to indicate that's a good thing. Take your 25% and go home.

Dont listen to her West Virginia.
She is dangerous. Dont let her whoop up the hate in your state.

Put "Country First" and vote for Obama.

She is trying to incite a riot. Dont go. Dont attend. America we are better than this.

For those who have conveniently forgotten, the Oklahoma City federal building was blown up by far right-wing terrorists, not left-wingers or Islamists. The same kind of people who are shouting those inflammatory statements at the McCain/Palin rallies.

John McCain is right, we should be afraid. But he's the one we should be afraid of.

It is so unfortunate that the fear mongers of the republican party led by dumb and dumber are inciting racial hatred and irrationality to push our country back into the 1950s.

The fear of having a Black man be the top executive officer of this country are scaring the hell out of the bigoted, flat earth, red-eyed monsters. If you want to see them, go to, or watch the McDufus and Knuckle-head campaign trail stops.

It is surreal to think that in the 21st century, that politicians such as McDufus and Knuckle-head can play the political game of facism just to win an election.

They are beyond SHAME. How can anyone cast their franchise for these people is also beyond me?!

Read the foreign press....McCain/Palin/their voters are putting such a black mark again on America much like Katrina did.

Voters need to think about whether this angry man and his dishonest running mate will have any credibility or respect from either your allies or enemies in the very sad event they should be nominated.

Also in a recent poll of banking practices worldwide America came 40th....please look to the furture and consider THAT ONE"S vision and intelligence!!!

Unfortunately Sarah, you'll be able to do little good in West Virginia. Not that you'd know how to do good if you tried, but the state (like many others already) are firmly in the Obama column. It's over losers... get used to it.

Sarah- “Things are getting kind of, not tense, but things are getting — as things come down to the wire obviously, things are getting more important in terms of message, and in terms of opportunity we have to lay out the contrast between the two tickets,” she told donors in Cincinnati.

WHAT? things are getting trashy, were loosing and McCain is pimping me to go out and hustle up some votes. So by golly here I go.

McCain and Palin should be Arrested for INCITING RIOTS...... I believe that pushing their type of politics, lies and hatred fall under HATE CRIMES!!! I think they should focus on the issues we are facing jobs, the economy, allocating the rescue plan.

Things are getting kind of, not tense, but things are getting — as things come down to the wire obviously, things are getting more important in terms of message, and in terms of opportunity we have to lay out the contrast between the two tickets,” she told donors in Cincinnati.

I do not want my children to think Palin and McCain represent how a person should behave. They are not an example of honor and honesty. When my children play soccer or T-ball or hockey.....they learn how to win with honor and how to lose with grace. These people have lost sight of that and are not an example for ANY ONES children.

Palin is destroying herself with moderate Democrats and Independents. In the years to come, she will be remembered as a fearmonger and a hatemonger. She should read the words of Dwight Eisenhower, in the speach he failed to deliver that defended George Marshall from McCarthy in Wisconsin in 1952, "the right to question someone's judgement does not carry with it the right to question their character." I do not know what will happen to this Great Nation if one of Palin's hatemongers attempts to harm Obama.

Is stirring up hatred and rage how we "put country first"? Is it how we "work across the aisle"? I am feeling sick to see all this unfettered and unwise rabble-rousing.

I so long for healing and cooler heads in our leadership. Now, especially now, we really do need to come together, folks! Please, please. This is reaching scary levels.

Don't these fear mongering republicans understand they are the ones that are opening doors to socialism. While Bush has distracted all of us with this war, other countries are quietly buying us up and taking our business. That is how you lose your freedoms people. The Bush admimistration is big government and is pushing us into socialism and McCain will do the same. Who is really the axis of evil?

I am not concerned at all about this election. Foreign countries are pulling money out of America because Obama and his socialistic agenda scare them. If there is no capitalism in America, then why invest in America to begin with? Makes no sense to me.

Obama will not win this election. If he does, markets will tank even further as socialism creeps in.

Government already taking over mortgages and other debt laden institutions to save them. This is how socialism begins. Socialism will be embraced under the guise of liberalism.

Luckily Obama is going to lose in November!

Both Obama and Ayers served on the Annenberg Foundation board. Isn't Mrs. Annenberg a major bundler, with Annenberg) who doesn't know William Ayers.
Annenberg's widow just endorsed John McCain over the weekend. She thought Ayers was a stand up enough person to allow him to serve on the Annenberg board.
Does that make Annenberg a terrorist, too? And therefore John McCain is a terrorist as well??
