Racist McCain Supporters in Pottsville, Pennsylvania

A demonstrator outside a McCain rally in Pottsville, Pennsylvania on Monday could be hearing from the Secret Service after his statements were filmed by Keystone Progress Blog.

"Bomb Obama!" he said repeatedly. "Get rid of him," he told the cameraman. "I've had a number of people in the...when he gets in the White House...(mimicks the sound of a gun firing)." The exchange was reported to Pottsville police and the Secret Service. Pottsville Police Captain Richard Wojciechowsky reportedly said it "did not sound serious."

"I'd never vote for a black man," said a Democratic McCain supporter. "[I don't] want to sound racist here," said another participant, "but I do not want a black man running my country."

"Catholics must not vote for Obama," a protest sign read. "They will be ex-communicated from the Catholic Church."

Various rally participants, while waiting to greet Senator McCain's "Straight Talk Express" tour bus, called Senator Obama a communist, claimed his stances and connections were "un-American," and one said that Obama was born in Kenya. (He was actually born in Hawaii.) One referred to him as "President Hussein."

Typical Republicans. Racist and retarded.

Thank god I voted for Obama. :-) And will again in 2012.

You ever went to school before and saw that long poster with all the presidents faces from the first to last,I bet the school there kids go to probably has Bush face exempt from that.

There's too much irony in your comments.

Typical Republicans:

There are racist Republicans who who favor cutting programs that would help minorities, or would vote against their own best interests because of the "Anyone But Obama" mentality (who cares if the alternative is worse, at least he's a white man, right?)

There are retarded Republicans who continue to believe year after year that their party cares about the well being of anyone outside of the 1%

Sometimes you get both (see video)

The atypical Republicans are the 1%ers.

He'd choke on the fact that you stereotyped a whole party, My point was that not all republicans are what they are stereotyped to be...

In the same way he didn't stereotype all black people...

You are using the same prejudice towards republicans as someone who was white and racist would act towards a black person.

[guintonfenris]

With "was" being the operative word. He'd choke on his own vomit if he were alive today and saw what the "Party of Lincoln" has become.

That could be said about any president. I listened to one of Paul's recent speeches in Texas and he stated that he would see it fit that he use executive orders to repeal any previous irrational and unjust executive orders that violate the Constitution and the people. He would also work on repealing the Patriot Act and the NDAA which would gain the people's support. The people's support can do a lot of things. Look at how SOPA was turned down because of the people.

You're right about Paul not being able to march into office and do as he pleases but I still think, realistically, his presidency would do little good for the country. If, by some miracle, he became president I would imagine that he would basically veto every bill that congress brought to him and congress would reject any proposals that he would bring and very little would get done during his presidency. I also would expect the American people to become very frustrated in this period of time.

"I don't want to sound racist here, but I don't want a black man running my country."

Right on, Jim-Bob.

Also, I would like to remind you that Paul is running for president, not dictator. He knows his limits by the Constitution and would not violate them through executive orders like previous presidents.The FDA and Big Pharma are corrupt and in bed together with the government.They care not for the people and the consumers but care about the money they can make at the expense of these consumers. They barely do anything good for our country as it is. Paul would not be able to eliminate them anyways.

The FDA does barely anything and it allows these carcinogens in our foods. They even allow aspartame in diet drinks and sugar free foods and it is the most dangerous out of all sugar substitutes. As I said before, the government is not the solution and it never has been. Corporations are in bed with the government and they look out for these corporations. It is called lobbying. Businesses put dangerous chemicals in our food with the FDA and no one cares. It is the consumer's job to think.
