I was watching CNN and they put up a clip of the Republican people talking with John McCain about how angry they were because they were losing in the polls. Now what got to me about this was the fact that the angry

I saw that tonight to and it actually frightened me. I understand passion but this was just hate and anger. I was talking to my husband and told him that one of those angry Republicans will murder Obama if he is elected. If McCain can't calm an angry group of people how can he control an angry country?

The ugly hateful underbelly of the Rovian strategy is finally being shown. The us versus them , he's not like us, we're real Americans has really no place to go but to this ugly place where violence is being incited by national political candidates at public rallies. Someone is going to get hurt and they won't care-they will be happy because their opponents are terrorists and unAmerican and deserve it. This is our unhinged "christian" nation manipulated and turned loose by the Republican party.

This is what happens when someone like Palin is chosen. Anti-intellectual, proud of being simple minded, unaware of the world yet certain she is guided by God and always right. There is no appeal to high ideals and public good-only to pointing out who to hate. I have so come to admire Barack Obama. I was not an early supporter but I have grown to appreciate his calm resolve and thoughful approach. He and Michelle are what the pro-family Republicans should admire if their words were not empty. A strong loving marriage between two people who worked hard for what they achieved-nothing was handed to them. At least this time, in this election, people seem to have woken up to the reality of the Republican lies-that they care about the middle class, that they want to "rein in" government, that they care about freedom and democracy while in reality they have destroyed the middle class, expanded the federal govenment and systematically undermined the Bill of Rights while bankrupting this nation by prosecuting an unecessary and illegal war. Reality is a bitch this year...if you're a Republican.

Funny you say this, because it would appear to many Republicans that the Democrats are acting the same way.

saying he is a danger doesn't make it so either. I don't recall dems yelling, "kill him", at there rallies. The man talking to McCain was angry NOT passionate, or did you miss his body language?

Are you referring to the black guy that was pleading with JM to please let the country know who the real BO is?

"It's time to put the election behind us and the country in front of us. Barack Obama wasn't my choice, but come January 20th, he will be MY President.... I will not seek to see all

Obama

A privileged African-American, who has not shared the black American experience
By birth, blood and training, a Muslim, who has been a member of a Black-African church for 20 years
A socialist whose politics are rooted in Marx and whose tactics were devised by Alinsky
A master at shaping his own mythology and completely unqualified to be Commander in Chief
