McCain’s Hate Speech Express

October 10th, 2008 by COD

John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as “not one of us,” I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence.

And this comes from somebody who worked on his 2000 campaign. I too used to think McCain was an honorable, if misguided man. I was wrong. His lust for power has shown us his true colors.

Hat tip: Scalzi

    But yet it’s OK for the left to proclaim there will be race riots if Obama loses.

    Who’s instigating violence.

    If McCain wins they will blame Diebold, if Obama wins it was Acorn pulling the strings, either way nothing is getting done for the next 4 years.

    The only people I’ve heard suggesting race riots is conservatives. I’m sure there are some left wing whackos out there – but it wasn’t like it was just 2 or 3 people in that line spewing the hate. Many of them are, and they are being egged on by Palin.

    It was 2 or 3 people in crowds of thousands dosen’t quite make it a mob, regardless of what Huffington and Kos try to push. And what they leave out is they were referring to Ayers when they said “kill him”, hell I come across Bill Ayers on a hunting trip I might have a Cheney moment.

    And James Carville is the latest to suggest the riot theory….raging conservative he is.

    I was referring to the linked video – all the idiots screaming at the protesters. These aren’t left wing anti-capitalist or PETA freaks, they are apparently normal people just acting like them. At least on the left you can tell who the freaks are. Mass hysteria seems to be taking over on the right.

    It’s more than 2 or 3 people per crowd; heck, I’ve got (at least) one family member who could blend seamlessly into that crowd in the video. The closer we get to electing a black man, the more these “God Bless the USA” closet racists will flock to the cameras. And, the more McCain will showcase for us how astonishly unbalanced he is.

    One big difference: Obama isn’t inciting violence and mobtalk; McCain and Palin are. So much for “putting (his/her) country first.”

    And now McCain is having to put the brakes on this hate train and his own audience booed.

    From Nance’s link…
    A woman at the town hall asks softly: “I’ve heard that Sen. Obama is an Arab.”

    McCain quickly cuts the woman off.

    “No, maam. He’s a decent family man and citizen,” McCain says. “He’s not. Thank you.”

    So Arab’s can’t be decent family men?

    This means nothing unless he shuts down his attack pitbull hockey mom though.

    I imagine you have to have a pretty thick skin to be anything close to Arab in this country now.
