The fact that Palin did not say (unless she did not hear it, I haven't seen the video), "ok, let's not cross the line", shows what a vile, descipicable person that she is or at least has become.

"Drill Baby Drill!"

"USA!" "USA!"

Yep. This campaign has reached its intellectual low already.

Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."

One of the steps in turning a country to Fascism.

Turn people against the media......and look who's doing it best, SaraPalin.




And:Blaming Couric or any other interviewer for her own mistakes. Is THAT accepting PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY LIKE repugs scream EVERYONE ELSE should do????? Why doesn't a repugs ever answer that question?

It's called content advertising. If you keep going back to it a McCain/Palin comes up half the time.

This whole thing is starting to turn into a Stephen King novel...you know...well-drawn hateful characters who stir each other up to epic proportions.

And I am not surprised by this.

If you shine a flashlight into a dark place and see something you don't like, do you blame the flashlight?

Attacking the media is so lame. And why so emotional a response?

Remember when the Democrats were decried as the party of no ideas? And the Republicans were a unfied base?

Obama and Biden look like adults. Like serious people. McCain comes off as petulent and Palin comes off as uninformed. I'd rather it wasn't this way. I'd rather see the two parties field serious candidates who can debate the issues like civilized people. Instead, we get this...

Shame on Sarah. She should be setting an example, especially since children were present.
I expected more from a Hockey Mom.

I have to wonder how people will behave once the election is over.
