There were shouts of "Nobama" and "Socialist" at the mention of the Democratic presidential nominee. There were boos, middle fingers turned up and thumbs turned down as a media caravan moved through the crowd Thursday for a midday town hall gathering featuring John McCain and Sarah Palin.

The minutemen at Concord and Lexington were pissed off too!
Doesn’t the MSM get it? We are bitterly clinging to our guns and religion.
How many times must this story be posted?
I’m angry! I’m angry about the socialist scumbags in Congress!
I’m angry at the media that talks about people being angry at McCain/Palin rallies while not reporting on any of the hatred coming out of the worm food left towards Palin. The rumor mongering the hateful attacks on her children. I’m sick of it and they’d better be ready on election day because we are going to take this to the finish line and rub their faces in the manure they foist up on tv every night.
I’m thinking the middle fingers are Dem plants. That’s not a Republican thing. The thumbs down is probably us. The boos are probably us. And good for us.
I’m sorry. I did a search on Overarching and didn’t get anything, so I thought it hadn’t been put up. I don’t hang out here all day and am new to posting. If there is a better way to determine what’s been posted before, let me know.
I get to drop by the site about 5 minutes a day, tops.
Team McCain has got to calm people down and channel their energy...
This is all they’ve got.
I guess the party faithful need to take etiquette lessons from Betty White and Pamela Anderson.
Freedom to protest mean anything to these media types? I know only if the protest is aimed at the right.
“Nobama” and “Socialist”
Hm.
I bet they also heard “No ACORN!” a few times.
Maybe we should just shout, “Anti-America, Cloward-Piven Marxists?”
People are starting to wake up!
And when they do, boy its ugly. I do think Obama is sending screamers to the Rally’s. I think the next time someone yells something vile, they should check who it is.
Lot’s of energy out there....Some how we need to contain it and put it into one message......We all are saying the same thing put in ten different ways.....like SOCIALIST...TERRORIST....MUSLIM.....COMMIE..........WHAT IF WE JUST STARTED RAISING SIGNS OR HAVE STICKERS THAT SAY
VOTE AGAINST THE OBAMA UNDERGROUND!
WE NEED ONE VOICE!
Oh that nasty old anger.
Maybe they’re actually being “judgmental” and “non-inclusive” as well.
Anger is BY FAR the most sane emotion right now, considering the current harvest due to the downward spiral of socialism America has been experiencing since the mid 1960’s, albeit somewhat of a breather under Ronald Reagan.
The conservatives have been up..
It’s everyone else that seems to think capitalism has suddenly become a lost cause and we should change to socialism.
I’m glad Jeliota posted this story, it’s the first time I’ve read it.
At least more than once. Otherwise, I would not have seen it.
I would never question Senator McCain’s courage and integrity. But I think it’s obvious he has finally given up.
To watch that video of him CAMPAIGNING FOR Obama, instead of against him: http://www.mofopolitics.com/2008/10/10/video-mccain-gives-up-spends-whole-rally-defending-obama/
That was really quite stomach-churning. It’s over.
The American people have woken up. Has McCain, the Lamebrain?
Please, let someone try that.
John McCain is not and never will be that kind of attack dog we all want. He will say things to Obama I am sure in the debate....but he is not going to be thuggish!
McCain knows ugliness, he is not about to partake in hate!
Remember he is also the one to vote against torture, when he was....he also went back to make peace with the Vietnamese...He is an honorable and classy man. He will win, but he will win with dignity...its his style!
Besides, I think he knows something and doesnt want his hands muddy, when it comes out!
Ima just sayin...
I’m p*ssed off and I’m not going to take it anymore .
I'm more angry at the demented GOP that refuses to refer to them as socialist.
The "S" word you will never hear coming out of the mouth of the GOP leadership or RNC.
I cant believe you wrote that....McCain is a good man.
He will get the job done, but it will be with dignity.
There are still people who look you in the eye and when they shake you hand its their word. You can count on it.
Just because the world has gone mad, doesn’t mean you throw in the towel and lose all respect.
I notice that a lot of newbies like Jeliota post these kinds stories repeatedly to get under the skin of most of us. This WP drivel is meant to demoralize and demean. I question the motivation since most of the time the poster never responds to the posts. Hit and run.
Actually, when you scroll back a day or two, the "angry mob meme" has been repeated over and over, as the tattered remnants of the Media sacrifice what's left of their integrity (which ain't much) for the sake of making one more President.
Lemmings.
For the MSM, the Left has “passion.”
The Right has “anger.”
Nonsense.
OK. No point in you sticking around. Lots of hobbies. Crocheting maybe.
Yeah the left has effectively destroyed both Bush and Cheney. Some of it is the Presidents fault. I don’t think he realized just how much they hated him and if we don’t fight back and I mean hard. They are going to do it again. They are well on their way with Sarah Palin.
Amen
Oooooh! They're really rioting in the streets now. Ooooh! Get the fire hoses and tear gas! Oooooh!
Amen to your amen.
“Where was the concern when they were calling Bush Hitler ?”
Well, that’s different, you see, because, uh . . . .
Thanks for posting. It’s an interesting piece and I’d have missed it otherwise.
As offensive as they are to us, celebrate those hideous images now because under an Obama regime, such displays of insurrection will NOT be tolerated.
The right to free speech will be the first right brutally murdered.
From what I have seen, the crowd at that rally wanted blood. Well, everyone is on edge and wanting retribution. This could very well spin out of control and escalate in a very negative manner..if fuel is thrown on the fire.
McCain did a good job, imo, of diffusing a potentially dangerous situation.
Did he go overboard in praising his opponent? Maybe.
But I wasn't standing in front of a furious crowd like he was.
Thanks for posting it. I haven’t seen the story, yet.
If Barry is elected, he may want to think about growing a thicker skin.
You can’t even say his middle name, much less burn him in effigy as has happened in the current administration. He will be as much criticized as President Bush, or more..eventually.
But maybe not. The media may prevent that.
me either and really are we going to change our vote..no
Because this isnt about McCain anymore...it is about
DEFEATING OBAMA....and the wackos are watching CNN and they arent going to change their vote,,, we ae on fr or FOX and we arent going to change...joe six pack is watching the Red Sox.
So THE ONLY THIN THAT WILL CHANGE THIS RACE IS A NEWS STOPPER, SOMETHING BIG... and I believe John knows in time...my friend...in time!
His media WILL prevent that.
And IF, God forbid, he is elected, he will certainly defend himself more vigorously then the abysmally passive President Bush.
Bush’s allegedly poor approval ratings, if true, are due mainly due his unwillingness to defend himself, or more appropriately, to go on the offensive against his attackers.
A great many of the people are rising up as one in anger.
God Be Praised.
God Is Great.
