I went to John McCain's Website
and fired off a comment telling them they are inciting violence against Senator Obama and if any violence happens to him the blood will be on their hands. Asked if a campaign is worth the selling of their souls.

Won't mean crap to them, but at least this citizen spoke out.

1. I check out that website for the first time today
Man is it amateurish. Obama's site rocks. McCain's site sucks.

2. Let it go. The Secret Service are professionals and, IMO, are handling this behind the scenes.
That's what "professionals" do ... they do not stir up the public into a fear frenzy.

You're promoting the fear mongering by encouraging such speculation.

Albeit unintentional, you are feeding into a RW meme.

Please reconsider?

5. Secret Service is on it. You can count on it.
Even if they didn't take the initiative far enough, I'm confident that Obama's people are pushing it.

By now they should be well into the investigation, but don't expect to "read all about it", it's not how they work.

25. And this is nothing new in antics by GOP to encourage violence against...
Democrats, including Pres Clinton --

Truth be told, the only way these people have been able to come

to power is by political violence -- assassinations and election theft.

11. Why - I'm not letting them get away with it w/o my comment
Edited on Tue Oct-07-08 01:03 AM by RamboLiberal
It was the contact us not the comment section of his website. It was nothing to be published. Hell they need to hear we don't appreciate this crap and fear mongering from them. I'm getting tired of the f'ing RW haters. And if we don't comment on this we're going to spend the next 8 years in fear of Obama's life.

Hell I feared for Bill Clinton with all the hate they spewed 24/7 against him.

But then I grew up in the 60's. I had to live through Nov 63, April 68, June 68. And even the attempts against Ford and Reagan.

I'm not going to sit back and not privately contact McCain's campaign when those in the crowd today yelled out "Kill him" and "Terrorist" at their rallies.

Imagine if this happened at an Obama/Biden rally? Obama or Biden would've shot that crap down in a heart beat.

6. Reading comments on his blog, searching for word, "kill". check this out:
They don't seem to moderate much:

Posted at 6:59PM on 10/4/08 by carltmc
Yes, but Barack doesnt care, he has been programmed since birth to kill the americans.


On the other hand:

Sarah Palin is associated with a secessionist group that wants Alaska to break away from the Union. I am glad that finally Obama campaign came out with a statement mentioning the Palins' membership with and participation with Alaska Independence, the secessionist party in question. If she or McCain mention it a 2nd time or go after Obama's patriotism in any way, I'd even go as far as to file a lawsuit seeking inquiry into Sarah Palin's secessionist activity and disqualification from being GOP's VP nominee.

Cindy McCain is associated with terrorism in Darfur, Sudan. Cindy held $2 million in investment funds owning shares of Sudan-linked companies, thus she supported terrorism in Darfur. Cindy''s "funds had ties to the Sudanese regime that armed and supported militias considered responsible for killing, raping and torturing hundreds of thousands of civilians in the country''s Darfur region" (ABC).

Contrary to what she claimed in the debate, Palin killed an Alaska bill that protested atrocities in Darfur, Sudan, which factually implicates her celebration of the terrorist genocide in Darfur (abcnews.go.com/...


It's a mix of pro and anti McCain comments, much unlike the highly moderated and edited hillaryclinton website during the primaries.

7. Another wacky comment on his site:
Posted at 12:25AM on 10/7/08 by wattaguy
Sen McCain, go after him. Every few days something new.
Bill Ayers
Tony Resko
Rev Wright
Father Flager
ACORN
Annenberg fund
granting funds to radical groups in the educational system
campain contributions discloser
the absence of any other women in his life
and the list goes on

:wtf:

15. I had to laugh at the "everyday something new" part of the comment...
None of the list is "new", so they made something up.

And I laughed at "granting funds to radical groups in the educational system"....that's a double pisser to them; funds to "radicals" AND to education, heaven forbid!

8. I started to do the same thing, but...
Edited on Tue Oct-07-08 12:48 AM by defendandprotect
at two of their campan sites you had to "register" ...

and I felt pretty sure they'd disregard or dump anything critical so
tomorrow I'll post something on his Senate site and maybe call his office.

But really think this needs to be widely and noisely stopped --

27. Randi Rhodes is talking about ths now... How about Olbermann--???
Meanwhile, I'm concerned that they've targeted Randi --

she has been hugely effective and is more popular than Rush --

and they've managed now to push her off the wider stage ---

I think they'll be more.
