The fact that you don't even know the person you are supposed to hate shows how dumb the right wing in America is getting. For God's sake, before rioting in the streets, at least go to Wikipedia Who DID set off bombs after warning the folks inside the building to get out.

Republicans are seething about this election and they are on video saying "McCain should attack Obama more." They on video screaming "Kill him" and "terrorist' when Obama is mentioned. Leaving aside the ridiculous assertion that "Ayers IS a terrorist" (Ayers IS a university professor, but I suppose to someone who thinks the ACLU is evil, there's not a substantive difference between professor and terrorist), the video of McCain's crowds are full of right wing guys standing up and saying "I'm angry!" it would seem a stretch to claim that people who claim to be angry are not, but....this is from a movement blaming poor people for the over-securitization of credit markets, so denying reality must be possible!

Lozano Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:11:29 +0000 http://www.stoptheaclu.com/?p=14140#comment-99944 A well educated or well informed public is a dangerous public - at least to politicians. Politicians more often than not would rather conceal, ignore, or distract from any real issues. Contrary to what Obama and his campaign suggest, a presidential hopeful's background, experience, personal and professional ties and alliances may all prove to be VERY important and VERY relevant to his own honesty and integrity, not to mention relative to his strength of character. These are important issues to consider when electing a person for the highest office in our government. And before someone plays the race card, I'll flat out state that Senator Obama is no Colin Powell. Powell, I respect. He served his country and has political and military experience. What does Obama have - besides the gift of verbal eloquence and a tremendous amount of money to back up his campaign? The more PR, smoke screens and mirrors Obama and his campaign people use, the more inclined I am to vote for McCain. I would have crossed party lines to vote for someone like Colin Powell, who has served his country and who has political and military experience, but he's not running for president or vice president. I'm not voting for or against any politician's ethnic race; I'm voting for his or her political stance, record on issues, political experience, and the basic general direction I think they'll lead this country in. A "United Socialist States of America" is what Obama plans, in my opinion, and I don't want that. His personal ties to questionable individuals, or individuals of questionable character, if you prefer, disturbs me greatly. He had the chance to walk out of Rev. Wright's sermons many times over the course of twenty years, and to distance himself much sooner, but he didn't. He had the chance to do the right thing, but he didn't. He's as much a part of the political machine as any other politician, and all he's doing is literally TALKING his way into the White House. Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words, and McCain has the military and political experience to justify running for president of the United States. Obama has nothing but a brief tenure as an Illinois senator - and a tremendous amount of media backing and money from some powerful friends and allies. Having Oprah Winfrey backing him up, along with the Chicago Political Machine, doesn't hurt, either. A well educated or well informed public is a dangerous public – at least to politicians.

How is this beneficial to the country? The Republicans are trying to incite violence with these attacks. I'm not saying you can't question Obama, but the method of doing so needs to change.
