I wanted to make a poll to get an idea of how people feel about the stuff being reported regarding the hate and ignorance being seen from McCain/Palin supporters.

It's the greatest thing that could have happened for the Obama camp. If McCain had ran a more respectable campaign from the beginning, you would be looking at a different outcome right now. If anything, Obama supporters should be thanking McCain's rough crowd.

This is an election. Who the hell cares about some petty name calling anyway? Grow some thick skin and a pair of balls.

I applaud John McCain for saying the other day that all this talk of "terrorist" is untrue.

However, he listened to his Karl Rove inspired advisors and created the problem in the first place.

Ignorance and racism is still strong in America. Just talk to McCain/Palin supporters.

What about the hate-filled left at the McCain/Palin rallies? Or the hate-filled left that have called "W" a terrorist for years.

This is just a media/left effort to try to get the McCain campaign to back off it's criticism of obama and his connections, which are fair game.

all i can say is, i know of a several pools as to how long it will be till obama is killed if he gets into office. i find this disturbing every time i hear this and get offered to join.

but me voting for mccain/palin isn't because i think he will do the best job or race related. i just think obama doesn't have any experience. i think his own democratic congress wont even pass anything he wants to do. i am voting for the lesser of 2 evils and a lot of people I know are doing the same.

Before you call anyone ignorant and racist, you should look at about 15 or so obama robots on this site, you included

One thing about this really irks me...our tax dollars are going to have to pay for more Secret Service to protect the Obamas because of this crap. What McCain and Palin have done in playing to fear and hatred is very dangerous. I wonder if they can be help legally and financially culpable if anything happens to Obama.

We have created a terror filled killing zone in Iraq that has affected the lives of over 25 million people through violence and war and mayhem and murder.

This would not have happened if we did not invade their land, depose their leader and create the conditions that have led to hundreds of thousands of their people being killed.

His writers are probably right now hammering out a good strong "Peacemaker" speech for him - if they're not they're fools. If they are, he'll deliver it soon enough and in a black-humor twist worthy of Paddy Chayefsky he'll be celebrated for having stopped something he started and encouraged in the first place.

What have they done? Bring up obama's ties to Ayers?

Can you honestly say that if McCain had such a person in his past the obama campaign would not have used it.
