Republicans crossing the line.

The supporters of Senator McCain and Governor Palin are over the line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRqcfqiXCX0&eurl
I really didn't know that people like that were so outspoken. I now am coming to the realization that racism isn't just a small or minor part of the democratic process. It's a huge part.

A couple of separate instances have brought me to this conclusion, one is that video, another is an article my father read to me.

It talked about this reporter who walked behind the mail truck in Issaquah, and asked the simple question "What do you think about Barrack Obama.?" The answers he got were so crazy and racist, they made me shudder. How could people say stuff like that to a reporter?

The fear mongering of the McPalin campaign has reached unacceptable levels. They may not be stating such things, but they are implying them, and certainly not denouncing them. And they are benefiting from it this has to be put to a stop, this campaign has been going on way too long, anger is reaching critical levels.

I'd like to hear some thoughts on the video, it really got me thinking.

I hate to play shoot the messenger, but this is from the Islamist funded Al-Jazeera. They have a vested interest in seeing Obama win.

First of all, what is that vested interest? Second of all, Al Jazeera and other foreign news sources such as BBC have done a much better job of stayin un-biased then any american television.

Al-Jazeera has strong connections to radical islamists, they do not want another republican president.

I don't know enough about Al-Jazerra to refute that, and I don't want to to talk about foreign policy. But are you saying that that reporting wasn't completly legitimate? What you're saying may or may not be true, but why do you care who brings it? In other words, was there anything about the reporting that you would view as incorrect?

It is easy to take people out of context and they do not show one person that disagrees with what they were saying. What questions did they ask? Are these people really republicans? For all we know they are democrats that have defected or they are plants

There are equally horrible things that have been said about Palin by Obama supporters, has Al-J reported any of that?

I just think it is unfair to make generalizations about people based on this video.

I'm not making generilizations, I'm just saying that those people exist, when you have people stating clear mis-information, there really isn't a way to take it out of context, when you have someone using the n-word, it's never a good statment.

As far as "plants" I don't agree with you, there are people out there with those views, why bring on fakes, when the real deal is out there?

That is incredibly scary that people think that way.

WOW! Ohio is the state that set us back in 2004. This video helps me understand what happened.

Its hard to imagine that there are that many misinformed people, but its the truth.
