"At what point do we call the tactics of John McCain and Sarah Palin for what they are? Hate mongering.
As both McCain and Palin continue their Swift Boat campaign, using innuendo, half truths and outright lies against Barack Obama, their crowds are looking more like mobs than political supporters. A McCain rant is greeted with someone shouting "terrorist," Palin's vicious rhetoric has someone screaming "kill him," while others taunt reporters, complete with racial ephitets, and now today:
In the latest instance of inflammatory outbursts at McCain-Palin rallies, a crowd member screamed "treason!" during an event on Tuesday after Sarah Palin accused Barack Obama of criticizing U.S. troops.
In every case, McCain and Palin ignored the hate that they were whipping up. And why wouldn't they? After all, that's the whole point. The only thing they have left to run on is fear and hate."
