Why did McCain keep saying he continually corrects his crowds...

I know of only the one time when he confronted that woman. You could tell it pained him and caught the crowd off guard. I think that is why he inflated that one incident into a series of putting his crowd straight.

I'm glad Obama didn't say anything.

1. Obama was referring to Sarah Palin

she's the one who says he pals around with terrorists. I have no idea went on his rambling explanation about his crowds when they weren't the issue. And then ended up talking about taxes again. :crazy:

4. Obama definitely took the high road on that one.

And I was so glad he did. He looks Presidential doing that.

McCain is just...ugh.

5. Something that bugs me about that one time...

When that woman said about Obama, "He's an Arab," McCain said, "No, ma'am, he's a decent family man." What's his message here? I think it's that he thinks Arabs have no decency and don't love their kids. Fucking racist.

I haven't seen anything on DU so far about this, and this surprises me.

To say he's heard bad things said about him at Obama's rallies....but didn't ever provide any specific examples.

9. Of course he didn't provide any examples. Republicans think that supporting

Obama is an attack on McCain, and it's down hill from there!

Well, given that it was written in the 40s, you definitely had time. ;)

I'm doing my annual reading of it right now, actually. It always pisses me off to no end, but I think that's why I read it. It's so eerily prophetic.

16. He said it because he's a liar

And oh - btw - he's PROUD of his supporters. He's proud of people that say "Kill Him!"

Barack and Joe have GOT to win this. They just have to.

Dare I say it? I have John and Sarah. I do. They represent the worst in America. They stupidity in America. They want to turn America into the United States of Dumbfuckistan.

Hate them.

18. "That's nice, John, but you forgot to correct your own running mate...

when she said I 'pal around with terrorists'"
You can't always think of perfect responses on the spot but I wish Sen Obama had said something like that.
