McCain Says No Need To Fear Obama, Calls On Supporters To Be "Respectful"
TPM ^ | 10/10/2008 | Greg Sargent

Posted on 10/10/2008 5:20:07 PM PDT by markomalley

After taking criticism for standing by for days while his supporters grew increasingly unhinged and hysterical, John McCain did the right thing today, telling his supporters that there's no need to be "scared" of a president Obama and calling on them to be "respectful" towards him.

We have two videos for you from the same event. Here's vid of McCain saying that you needn't fear Obama: "He is a decent person, and a person that you do not have be scared as President of the United States"...

McCain was wrong to say we shouldn’t fear an 0bama presidency.
We have good reason to, and it is because of 0bama’s radical marxist views.
The evidence is out there.
McCain shouldn’t be attacking 0bama’s associations based on “judgement”, he should be attacking them based on the ideology 0bama shares with every one of them, and the DSA and New Party.
Americans are smart enough to understand what a radical socialist is, and smart enough to know that isn’t what we want for our country.

wasn’t it BO that urged his supporters to “get up in the face” of his opponents?

He's just deflecting the "McCain is a riot starter" libtard media comments.

Earth to the MSM: we ARE pissed off, and there aint a thing you can do about it!

No more need to fear Obama than McCain. We’re screwed either way.

America should be afraid of Obama and Obama and his radical friends are not decent people.
McCain will take the high road and lose this election.

I’m beginning to think the “unhinged McCain supporters” are Obamabots planted in the audience for convenient sound bites to be picked up by the Media.

If true, then McCain has reacted in the only way possible.

This is where McCaniacs need to hold their noses closed with vice grips.

McCain is clueless. Try living in North Korea John.

And we should be respectful, and not act like the DU’s.

And remember to lock and load.
