AC360: Angry Crowds at McCain Events Oct. 9, 2008

[DecimusIunius]

Crazed and angry crowds? Hmmmm.....

[raevae15]

Most of these people depend on the Government on some form or another and yet they will vote for a person that wants to end all of that.

[winonatechie]

Look at Ed Rollins. You can't even hear him say thanks at the end. He looks personally unhappy about how McCain ran his campaign.

[maloney0216]

I will vote for Obama!

All of you fellow prisoners can vote for McCain

[tedgraves]

so your a criminal

good thing you cant vote

[ibilldavis]

no hate, no racism, nobama

[WOLF333999]

Continuation: The only luck here would be if he dies in one of his Arizona hideouts, because as we all know the Arizona air is particularly friendly to corpses. Plenty of wall lizards there, too, so the flies won't stand a chance, either. Besides, McCain is pumped full of so many pills he won't decompose for decades.

By the way, why don't both candidates clash their skulls together and be done with it. Either one spells bad news for the world.

End of rant. Criticism welcome.

[WOLF333999]

Obama is playing it cool. If he accuses McCain of anything, it's almost always because McCain started the fire. What in God's name does McCain have to say or do to knock himself out? He gets away with even calling Obama a terrorist on national television. My take is that McCain is trying to incite some fool out there to take out Obama; but he doesn't seem to know that even then he won't win. Goddamn old fart. If he dies, chances are he won't be found for weeks, he has so many houses and cars.

[takeresponsability]

and most of the people that extremist just live in the middle east lol

that sucks they are in america too

[chirag2022]

If you don't like Bush, keep clicking on McCain's False Ads they put out and repost the same Idea on clicking the ads on Blogs.

The counter attack is coming.

[RDurk4]

Also, I think a lot of the outrage expressed by McCain supporters is due to massive media bias, and outright refusal to hold Obama accountable for ties to radicalism throughout his life.

[3star2nr]

have you been sleeping for the last 20 months? The press has gone after obama for everything from his flag pin to his religion, to his birth certificate, to his education, to his family.

Where have you been?

[meboswell1]

i think you are a moron, why are you right wingers so simple, Im ashamed for all of you!

[malwint]

Rdurk is either being paid by the McCain campaign to make these posts or an idiot...or both.

[RDurk4]

The liberals have destroyed the respect the American people have for the office of the Presidency and government by irrationally bashing Bush for years. They have created a massive division in the American electorate and no matter who wins, they're going to have a massive problem on their hands.

[3star2nr]

WHAT?????

Have you not been living in america for the last 8 years?

Irrationally bashing bush? even Mc. Cain Bashes Bush LOLOLOL

[GawdMachine]

Irrationally bashing?

I would have a lot harder of a time trying to find something Bush said that was 'actually true' rather than a lie.

He has done almost nothing but lie.

[meboswell1]

Once again, please shut up you are really showing your personal lack of good sense!!

[canycme]

Think about McCain "rallies." They are so full of hate and division and ignorance.

They're just un-American.

There is no melting pot. There's a boiling pot of hate.

There is no free exchange of ideas, optimism, pull yourself up by your boot straps. It's our way or the highway, negativity, I'll stomp my boots on anyone who disagrees with me.

Their rallies have this Nazi feel to them, it's scary.

They're so un-American.

[boo1312]

I only have one question. How much did that black actor at the McCain rally get pay for that acting part?

[mtntopcowgirl]

Funny how the anger spreads when the Mccain/Palin is down by 8 points in the polls....in spite of all the LIES the they have been telling. GAME OVER!

[waltermh111]

i cant believe one of these people in this video think obama has been leading one of the most mud slinging campaigns in decades even comparable to mccain. How can they say this with their example

Obama called McCain a lier at times, but it was always true. It needs to be said when McCain Lies. How is that so horrible.

Its not like Obama isnt also running one of the nicest campaigns ever

Their other example is that Obama called McCain iratic. Thats standard and he gave examples why its true

[dullsvillain]

McCain is becoming afraid of his own crowds!!!!!

[mwanaweingoo]

I think Mccain just the election, it doesnt matter he incites his supporters to anger and hatred, it will backfire on him, somebody needs to tell Mccain we are in the year 2008, not 1960's

[nitsua96]

The black guy was planted to encourage McCain to stay negative as it's turning would-be McCain voters to Obama voters. Republican's are falling for the old bait n' switch. Stupid Republicans. McCain has derailed and is desperate. He's no man - he has no honor. He's lost my vote.

[cnix999]

nitsua96 -- I almost felt the same way about McCain's honor until today. CNN reported McCain settling the crowd down about who Obama is as a person and that they simply do not agree on the issues. The crowd wasn't too happy with McCain, but I think he did the most honorable thing. Crowds are saying "kill him" and horrible things like that towards Obama. This election has taken a dangerous turn. No matter who you support, that kind of rhetoric has no business in our politics or anywhere else. Sad

[peterjames2001]

* John Mccain had INVESTMENTS into the terrorist state SYRIA until he got CAUGHT.

* Bush Family had very strong ties with the bin laden family.

This is more soap box reporting by FOX News.. The news for people who are too stupid to realize the truth.

Even stupid people must ask.. If Ayers was such a threat why isnt he in jail instead of working at a university?

[sean21122112]

Also he said they tried to destroy America, overstatement of the year.

[nitsua96]

The "angry man" is angry because he lives in a trailer, lives in Wisconsin, has to gravy-train off of a government social program and has to shop at K-Mart. If this guy had any brain, he'd vote Obama as it's obvious this guy does not make over $250K and his taxes would go down. You know he's unemployed as he's killing time grand-standing for the cameras at a looser pep-rally in the middle of the day. He needs to get a job, carry his fair share and get on the winning team. Obama/Biden in 2008!

[sean21122112]

You know, some people have the courage to stand up to their government and try to end the pointless war they start, but now they're called terrorists. George Washington was considered a terrorist to England at the time, do what's right, not what's legal.

[sean21122112]

That black guy is a republican columnist planted to give the McCain campaign an excuse to go negative.

[JUKIO01]

mccaina and obama are the same, they both work for the same people as do bush. ronn pal was the only one not influenced by the illuminat's

[sunrise3500]

Crap, another conspiracy theorist person with the Illuminati. What's so bad about a world government if this "Illuminati" group really existed with that intention? We already have a global economy, might as well have a global federation right? Looks like its time for SCI-FI to kick in!

[diverbrent]

PLEASE watch Naomi Wolf's "GIVE ME LIBERTY"

[dralavant]

It's become painfully obvious now that the McCain campaign is getting desperate. But it's really bad when you have the people in the rallies starting to sound like the KKK or a really angry mob. It seems that the McCain anger management syndrome is starting to spread onto his supporters.

[Solidsonic1]

true sir

[SanjoyDas1]

It's all over for the GOP. They'll be clinging to guns and religions after Nov. 4. Oh, well they already are!

[mraak]

this looks like some freak show for fuck sake. terrible.

[MrBennetzen]

IT'S OVER MCCAIN OR SHOULD I SAY MCBUSH! BTW you want fries with that?

[intarwebzz]

mcsame

[aldushuxley]

It appears McCain and Palin really appeal to the uninformed and the not terribly intelligent.

What is scary, is the way they pander to these people.  They are easy to incite and easy to influence.

I wonder if these people do anything besides watch Fox News.

[greggregoryvigilant]

They have proven this to be true by their own actions... such as;

* Attack Ads Designed To Destroy Their Opponent

* Ads With Distortions Of The Truth And Blatant LIES

* Do Anything, Say Anything To WIN Politics

This type of conduct is UN-AMERICAN!

I will NEVER forget or forgive the REPUBLICANS for the DAMAGE they have done to this country!

And now they want us to vote for McCain for President ? I DON'T THINK SO!

[dennisthapa]

begala is damn smart man

[imstillwalking]

I think it's also time to thing about how Congress is run. When this country was formed many could get to DC in a day by horseback. Now with CA, HI, and, yes, AK, maybe we should get "Go to Meeting," or something like that. And their pay should be tied to votes and progress and effectiveness. No Golden Parachutes. I admit to being troubled that neither McCain nor Obama have been there as much as they should be and still get paid.

[greggregoryvigilant]

Its going to turn into a landslide. Did you hear that republican strategist david gergen

[ancestralyuba]

David Gergen is not a republican strategist.

[baddmanaz]

time to throw in the towel, guys.

[greggregoryvigilant]

Gallup Tracking: Obama 52, McCain 41.

Rasmussen Tracking: Obama 50, McCain 45.

Hotline Tracking: Obama 47, McCain 41.

Reuters Tracking: Obama 48, McCain 44.

Battleground Tracking: Obama 48, McCain 45

[imstillwalking]

Looks good, but don't put it past the Repubs to do something. So, Obama/Biden supporters, don't get over-confident.

[jayemmers]

Every single voter should be as furious as these people, but they need to take their anger out on Washington D.C. in it's entirety.

Neither of the major political parties have your best interests in mind as they compete for control of our nation. If they did, we wouldn't be in the economic free-fall that we are in. Our elected officials are only dedicated to partison goals and special interest campaign contributors. How long will voters keep believing the same lies from different mouths ?

[xTheOxx]

This is the sound of sore losers losing.

[AlexSpartan]

McCain is a racist if we use guilt by association. watch?v=CUJthXiK3V4

[AlexSpartan]

Obama is a racist if we use guilt by association. See this video watch?v=CUJthXiK3V4.

[areki38]

So, the crowds are angry about Obama's "terrorist"-ties, and so tey're liable to resort to... terrorism?

Someone threatens at a rally to kill a person of public interest, just throw them in jail.

[jcb74]

Kinda like anti-abortion religo-nutjobs killing doctors...

[imstillwalking]

We could send them to Gitmo.

[purplesf]

With the economic pressure the country is under McCain & Palin are deliberately provoking hatred in crowds. It's just a short leap from that.... to violence. They should be charged for inciting a riot...because that is exactly what they are doing. David Gergen is right.

[rkellyforums]

I agree about Gergen, Angry crowds exhibiting violent tendicies is not helpful. The stock market crash is raising the heat level.

[billthebutcher2]

Apparently McCain's crowds somehow missed how shitty the last 8 years have been and figure that's still the way to go. Or they're to nuts to realize it.

[fretlessbass26]

sorry repubs... it was an interesting run.

[overmind25]

All of this is useless. Obama and McCain will not save us.

[VibrateHigh]

nope. time to save ourselves.

[angelbe88]

Check this out. They say they are listening to personal calls. The workers admit it.

ABC:NSA Agents Admit Spying on Americans"Private Calls"

[wishcoats]

60 seats in the Senate. We can only hope!

[masterhook]

its looking good

[angelbe88]

I can't tell what either of those people said.

[imstillwalking]

David Gergen is one of the smartest minds. I think he's right. What is happening on the McCain/Palin side can truly lead to violence. McCain & Palin, rather than firing their constituents up into this frenzy a la "Lord of the Flies" needs to bring come civility back into this campaign, but they won't. I hope the Secret Service is watching closely.

Obama didn't carry bombs in his backpack when he was 8. I've been on committees with people I never see outside of those meetings, let alone talk to.

[LeoKinoske]

This does remind me of Lord of the Flies. The only difference is these adults are falling for it. ADULTS.

This is disgusting. I have never seen more sheep let loose in public. I hope violence does start so McCain gets blamed for it.

[imstillwalking]

I don't think I have the quote quite right, but George Will (a heavyweight conservative) said this is like being attacked by a dead sheep. So, they must be dead and just don't know it.

[neverine2000]

the rascist republicans are outwardly expressing their hatred for a black candidate that is stirring up the white power structure... Is this a valid statement?

[imstillwalking]

I think McCain resents Obama even occupying the same stage as him. He isn't entitled.

I think the black strategy is just a part of it. His age, his middle name, his ties to terrorists, his elite arugula eating manner, we don't know him, all and more are all part of it. Certainly don't want to get into issues and policies. That's where they will lose.

[Zeldovich]

WE might be witnessing the end of this country. We are looking more like a banana republic everyday.

[imstillwalking]

Geez, next thing you know we're going to have a nigger or a spic or a chink, or, god forbid, some bitch as president. Then we're really done for. Holy shit, what's happening to this country. After gay marriage comes bestiality.

For those who miss it, this is sarcasm.

[2mytwodogs]

Can you walk and chew gum at the same time?

[imstillwalking]

Yes.

"For those who miss it, this is sarcasm."

Do you know what sarcasm is?

[101Frenchkisses7]

Stupid People + Fear + Religious Extremism + Ethnocentrism= Republican Fodder.

[itstheit]

I noticed something (I was listening to this while doing other work). Paul Begala's voice sounds a hell of a lot like Pat Sajak's (!)

[Plutonwolf]

I wonder if his rabid fans would be so hepped up if they knew McCollaborators actions as a POW?

[chumashfalcon]

McCain is trying to incite assassination.

The FBI needs to stop the McCain campaign before his supporters turn into a zombie hate mob.

[heathr456]

Bingo. It's shameless.

[zzzxxyy]

This is disgusting. These people are stupid.
