McCain supporters define themselves after Palin rally in NV; "I'm not one of those far-right loons"
Edited on Fri Oct-24-08 10:13 PM by Awsi Dooger
Awesome video courtesy of Matt Toplikar of the Las Vegas Sun. This rally was not far from me in Henderson, NV on Tuesday. A small group of 10-20 Obama supporters gathered outside a Sarah Palin speech at the Henderson Pavilion. This is how the McCain/Palin backers reacted after seeing the protest group following the rally. The music frames it wonderfully:

5. I would like to know what MSM these people watch
Is it limpballs or Faux? I don't ever recall seeing such hate at rallys before this election cycle. They truly believe that Obama is muslim, pals around with terrorists, will take their rights away (what we have left that W didn't) etc..........this is very, very disturbing. To me they fear a black man in the whitehouse. I really fear for Obama and his family's safety.

15. You're right.
I remember going to a few protests at shrub rallies in '04. The pugs were their typical condescending, arrogant selves. Heard lots of "get a job", "grow up", "Kerry is a traitor", but there wasn't anywhere near this level of hate. These people are terrified of the black man - simple as that.

13. I remember reading that Alaskan's do not like outsiders moving there.
Perhaps palin should warn her followers that all of them cannot follow her home when this is over.

And if they should somehow steal this election, she will not want them following her home then either.
