All this bickering over a person no one even knows. Turn around and listen to the world around you. In the time frame this thread has been opened I bet it's been said at least once every 30 seconds around the world......attack obamabots! decepticons attack!

So, what you're saying is that your urge to engage in hate speech is extreme?

Otherwise, why would you care?

Are you salivating at the opportunity to use other slurs on people, too?

Some of us don't appreciate hate speech or verbal attacks, whether it is within a racial group or across racial groups, or toward a particular gender, either.

It's a matter of respect...and self-respect.

Oh OK I see...

So using your latest line of ignorance would mean that if a black person doesn't use the N word at all and believes its highly offensive doesn't matter because there are other black people who use it, so it should be OK for everyone to use it?

According to you, that should mean that all Asian people act like you since there may be a few that share your sentiment? Yeah, OK!

I'm glad that I know better than to think that everyone in a certain ethnic group thinks alike.

You are so right: Bigots come in all colours and ethnicities. Its too bad that some of them can't make that conclusion about themselves.

funny that you say that! At the first sign of booing at McCain, Obama "shusshed" his crowd! I have heard NO hate speech from the audience at any Obama rally. . . and don't you think if that had happened, someone would have reported it? For sure there are Republicans there, following what is going on! So, how stupid can I be? You gotta be kidding! How insensitive can you be? That's another story!

Palin might have staged the whole thing so she can "hijack" McCains thing further. She has a problem, remember the 100 people at the back looking like they were protesting?

I listened a few times - did not hear the N word. It was inaudible.

No, it's inaudible. You can't tell what was said. When you hear a suggestion of "he's a ni**er," that's one possibility. But just listening with my eyes closed, she could of said a lot of things. Was there anyone there (say a reporter) that can confirm what the person said?

Naw...it's palin who's shouting the n word in her klutsy/cutesy/bubba-suck-up parlance! Her troglodyte hordes only express her ignorance and bigotry more directly...and perhaps more honestly!
