Watch the video I posted:

Protestor: "Palin voted to have women pay for their own rape kits. My friends shouldn't have to pay for their own rape kits. How would you feel about that?"
McCain supporter: "She should die!"
McCain supporter #2: "She should pay double!"
Ya, I agree that some of the comments in the video are unreasonable. That being said, if you think the hate speech is only coming from one side in this campaign you are sorely mistaken, and frankly, you must have your head in the sand (or somewhere else, and if I said where, I'd get in trouble )

Michelle Malkin » Crush the Obamedia narrative: Look who’s “gripped by insane rage”

Oh and BigT, I'll apologize if you do.

Deb sure you see a clear pattern right? McCain & Palin go out on their stump speeches and drum up fear. It spills over at their rallies with words like "Bomb Obama", "Terrorist", and "Treason" are yelled out and caught on tape. You then ultimately see outburts like in the video at a McCain rally.. where he is speaking.

Do you not see how that is different than your Malkin link?

One is a clear pattern of fear and hate established from the top of the ticket
One is a bunch of opinions on the web

YouTube - McCain supporters in Bethlehem, PA

I guess you didn't watch the link you responded to.
It's at the top of this page.
Remember that if you or your sister, friend or child is ever raped.

And what's up with this winking thing? I remember when I watched the VP debate that I saw her wink a few times and I felt a feeling of revulsion because it was just so stupid. Has anyone even heard of a politician who gets up on stage and is expected to act dignified and express themselves in an intelligent manner and then they start winking like a bar room hussie? Did George Washington, Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln present themselves to the public, deliver a brilliant speech and then give the audience a little wink? Of course we don't have any videos of those events but somehow I don't think they did. You would think that McCain's political strategists might have suggested that these facial contortions were not an appropriate activity at a Vice Presidential debate in front of tens of millions of viewers and this sort of thing would be more appropriate for an immature flirting teenager, someone suffering from facial tics, or possibly a prostitute in a mini skirt.

Montana....

I think you've made your point clear enough already.

Sarah Palin stirs up controversy in the wink of an eye - Los Angeles Times

I suggest you read this article.

I LOVE THE WINK... It is comforting, personal and down to earth...

She can wink anytime and i'll love it....

Since when do we want impersonal robots that have no genuine heart or emotion... What's that about...


godspeed,


freedom

Now Freedom, get a grip for heaven sake, and let June ask you something:

If McCain (or better yet! Hillary Clinton! Or Obama! Or Biden! Nancy Pelosi?) had been up there, winking their way through every darn debate or public address, would you still be advocating so "warmly" for that!?


--It's a "rhetorical" question, Freedom. Trust me: June knows the answer!

Nancy Pelosi?? I don't know... I could... perhaps... under just the right circumstances.... Yeah, I could take a wink from Nancy...

Troop, you're twenty-something. Trust June on this one:

Male testosterone at your age? Little Misha could wink at you and you'd be off and running...



(June thanks God that she's middle age. But still mind you!)

And humble.
