Since the Mccain campaign rhetoric has recently revolved around trying to make Obama look risky and unpatriotic by associating him with domestic terrorists, the fear mongering has turned into hate mongering. Recently while Palin has been out giving stump speech linking Obama to terrorists, people in the crowd have taken to yelling disgusting and hateful things, such as "terrorist" and "treason" and most alarmingly "kill him", as well as racial epithets. These things being said at a Republican nominee rally is unacceptable. Period. Does Palin call any of these people out and say she disapproves and that's taking it to far? Of course not, and I am not surprised. This is the reaction they want, they want to link Obama to people like Ayers and then let people make their own false assumptions. However, these things should not be tolerated by a Presidential or VP candidate. If the same was being said at an Obama rally calling Palin a "bitch", I have all the faith in the world Obama would not tolerate it. In fact, he did something similar at a rally during the primaries when people were booing and saying things about Hillary Clinton, he said there was no need for that and she deserved respect. Obama deserves the same respect, and the American people are better than this. John Mccain and Sarah Palin need to publicly condemn these kind of words or they are condoning this kind of discourse. By the Mccain camp spewing their fear mongering, they have woken the beast of hate which resides in some of the American people and then need to speak out against it.
