2. Senators ought to, the media ought to call him on it, EVERYONE ought to
be outraged by this flat-out incitement of hatred and violence.
If inciting "terrorism" gets journalists and activists thrown
in jail in St. Paul, then the Cadaverick and Winky Dink ought
to at least be taken to the woodshed over their hate rallies.

3. no of course not
was newt or rush or any other psycho ever held accountable for the vulnerable crazy people who took potshots at bill clinton?

the laws are not the same for the gop, they can incite to hate and riot and they will never be charged

as far as i know, david duke is in syria right now, raising money by calling for hate against the jews and the state of israel, and does his passport get pulled, does anyone put a stop to this, even tho he is convicted felon? no, it's okay if you're a republican

we have to watch what we say, they can say and do as they please

12. Figure of speech. One pug senator warned about Clinton coming to his state.
Was it Jessie Helms? I don't remember. Insinuated that he might be harmed.

4. Have Republicans been held directly responsible for anything?
Just add this to the list. If they all think Obama's a terrorist then they'll think it is justified and that they are doing a service to the country. That's what's so scary. They are actually leading these wacko's with guys to believe Obama is a terrorist and what has been our motto the past 7 years??? "go after the terrorists".

It's the same concept as those who bomb abortion clinics or anything like that. Not that those people get off free, but the Republican's have a way of pointing those people out as crazies while still driving through how they thought they were helping babies and that they'll be heroes.

7. But the times they are a changing and we can hope that something
as terrible as that would force justice to do what they are supposed to do.

8. Why would they be responsible?
Unless they aided, paid or suggested such an act. Where are mccain/palin calling
for such a thing?

14. Palin is telling her followers that Obama pals around with domestic terrorists
and when some one in the crowd, yell out "kill him" she said nothing, although when some one yelled out that she was a "hottie" she had no problem responding. They are inciting hatred and violence among their followers who are already on the edge. Pretty easy to see that.

19. Palin allowed somebody to holler "kill him" about Obama at a rally.
She just smiled and praised the audience for "getting it."

Sounds like suggestion to me.

21. You're kidding right? Either you're in denial or you're a McCain supporter.

11. I'm outraged...I want other Republicans to state their opinions on what's happening
People like Schartzenager, speak up now or forever reap the consequences.

15. Gamblers call this a "long shot". McCain is hoping someone tries it.
That is the whole point of Palin's "Cheerleader for the Lynch Mob" tour of the nation's red neck hot spots. They figure that some really hot blooded man might do it for a babe like her (the Jodie Foster syndrome).

It's a very, very long shot, but the only other thing John McCain has left to fall back on is election fraud and with Obama 11 points ahead that is even more of a long shot.

So, yes, they are trying their hardest to get someone to do something violent---and everyone in the press knows it, but no one wants to talk about it, because that only plays into McCain and Palin's blood stained hands. McCain is such an awful human being, but what do you expect from someone who bombed civilians during the Vietnam War? I could never vote for a president who did that.

20. Exactly. Mc and moosekiller aren't dumb enough to come right out and suggest violence but
they sure know how to lather up the nutcases...while maintaining a 'respectable distance', as it were.
:grr:

16. The law doesn't apply to Republicans in Bush Amerika
This has to change when Obama is president. No one is above the law.
