...when you read that shit like this is going on in the US, you have to wonder how many paranoid psychos out there are making plans:

McCain booed after trying to calm anti-Obama crowd
By PHILIP ELLIOTT and BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writers


LAKEVILLE, Minn.
- The anger is getting raw at Republican rallies and John McCain is acting to tamp it down. McCain was booed by his own supporters Friday when, in an abrupt switch from raising questions about Barack Obama's character, he described the Democrat as a "decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States."

A sense of grievance spilling into rage has gripped some GOP events this week as McCain supporters see his presidential campaign lag against Obama. Some in the audience are making it personal, against the Democrat. Shouts of "traitor," "terrorist," "treason," "liar," and even "off with his head" have rung from the crowd at McCain and Sarah Palin rallies, and gone unchallenged by them.

Fear of a black planet, or what? It's a wonder he hasn't been accused of pedophilia yet.

I'm worried about it happening too. If it does, can you imagine the riots that would break out in cities throughout America...

I think a lot of Americans aren't mentally prepared for our economic problems, which are so big that things will get worse no matter who is elected. Any rational person is already well aware that our economy is phucked beyond repair, but I think the usual suspects will try to say, "America was always economically strong until a n----r got elected President."

In the Great Depression, people killed themselves instead of others. I think this generation is different than that one. Violence is already getting bad with people snapping over stupid shit. Just the other day, a dude shot and killed another dude right there in the mall. No shit. I later heard on the news that the shooter was unhappy with his purchase. Rolling Eyes

Why? It didn't happen after the last assassination.

Anyway, we haven't had one in 45 years. We're about due, no?

Not to worry. I'm sure it will be some "lone nut," this time a specifically "racist nut," who does it. We don't have conspiracies in America, remember?

That's exactly what it is. Fear of a Black Planet. It's not politically correct to say you're afraid of an N-word president, so the coded language is "terrorist", "Arab", "traitor". As if that isn't racist enough.

There is probably a significant percentage of right-wing psychos who subconsciously feel that as the days count down, Obama is 'closing in' on the US Presidency, and they are freaking out. Right now they are probably feeling like they're in the shower at a public swimming pool, and somebody just reached over and stroked their *beep*. Rolling Eyes

Clinton hatred was bad for the country

Bush hatred was bad for the country.

If Obama wins I will certainly not engage in that sort of stuff.

Certainly not Joo. Your hatred is reserved for all that is not American.

I don't hate what is not American, I do hate several enemies the US has and with good reason.

Bush hatred was bad for the country? ...really.

It's bad for people not to want to drink the Kool-Aid and to buy the repeated lies of the worst adminstration in the history of the United States of America?

Maybe if more people hated that turd, the U.S. economy wouldn't be going down the toilet.

While I think the Obama hatred is bad, I do not think he's in grave danger.

Secret Security is sick. Counter-sniper teams and unclothed agents. The President lives in a moving cage.

Not JFK, not Bobby Kennedy, hell, not even Reagan had this kind of protection. He's gonna be okay.

9-11 conspiracy theorists are no friends of the US.

The US economy would crush the subprime problem if oil were 30 dollars.

That is what the US economy can do and does do if it isn't pinned down with high oil prices.

Bush is right about the enemies of the US.

Anyway you are not even from the US.

Joo, you believe in the 9-11 conspiracy theory of the 19 hijackers.

You are bad for the country.

I wish I felt your confidence. I do think he is in exceptional danger, but there is more. This fanaticism on the right is frightening. It is not a product of anything the Democrats are doing or have done. It is fanaticism pure and simple. My gut tells me we escaped it in '00 when the Supreme Court intervened and gave the election to Bush. Had it gone the other way, I think things could have gotten out of hand.

I posted the armed insurgent thing last week because I sensed the potential. Events this week have seemed to take another step. The Right is playing with fire.

When I logged on I saw an article about McCain trying to calm things down and posted it before I saw there are a couple of other posts on the same topic. Too bad all the threads can't be combined.

The self-righteousness of the deluded is extremely off-putting.

Prove your theories in a court of law; until then, you're no more perceptive than anyone else.
