LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) — Some of the anger is getting raw at Republican rallies and John McCain is mostly letting it flare. A sense of grievance spilling into rage has gripped some GOP events as McCain supporters see his presidential campaign lag against Barack Obama. They're 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.
Presidential candidates are accustomed to raucous rallies this close to Election Day and welcome the enthusiasm. But they are also traditionally monitors of sorts from the stage. Part of their job is to leaven proceedings if tempers run ragged and to rein in an out-of-bounds comment from the crowd.

They won’t bother to investigate the acorn/ayers/obama plants...
Boy, ‘Off with his head’. We’re getting positively Lewis Carrollian here.
There's gonna be plenty of FLARE if Obama wins. I hope the AP and their ilk realize this.
The type of people who follow Obama wouldn't think it funny at all and would probably cut and maim anyone saying such a thing.
AP wants us to believe the Obama people are sensitive types. Nothing could be further from the truth.
There are reports that these people are Obama plants.
The media needs to be the next to go. I don't know how, and constitutionally we need a free press. But is a propaganda ministry a free press? Was Goebbels' agency a free press?
Time to shut down the internet and talk radio. The are inciting hatred among bitter, gun-clinging, bible-clinging bigots.

Hey
Guess what I am flippin angry!!!!
My friend who attended a Florida event where the “terrorist” line was uttered said he and other people were certain the person who did it was a local news cameraman accompanying a liberal reporter. I am trying to find out more details, but am convinced that these increasingly numerous “outbursts” are being coordinated by the Obama Campaign to embarrass McCain and Palin. These are NOT McCain folks shouting these things out.
“Liar” is certainly accurate.
“Traitor” is not, as Barry has never actually levied war against the United States, nor has he given aid and comfort to its enemies. The same for “terrorist,” as Barry never planted any bombs himself, even though he consorts openly with someone who did.
Mike Nifong is not a terrorist or traitor either, so why not elect him instead of Barry? He needs the job more than Barry does, noting the lawsuits that the Duke Lacrosse players have filed against him.
Hey AP, NO IT'S NOT!! WHAT PART OF FREESPEECH DON"T YOU UNDERSTAND!
CNN says NOTHING when PROTESTER equate BUSH = Hitler....
OR SOME GUY ON CNN SAYS BUSH IS A MORON...
BUT THIS FCKER get CRITICIZED and ALL of Republicans are to be BLAMED.....
FCK CNN AND THE REST FCK THEM
IM MAD AS HELL
Where has AP been all these years when democrats attacked Bush?
my thoughts exactly... and i’d bet that these are obama plants to blunt any and all future criticism.
The truth about Obama’s relationship with his former employer/mentor Bill Ayers is getting out. The Associated Press journalists Philip Elliott and Beth Fouhy don’t know how to react and are tentative about reporting the facts about this, so instead they are looking anywhere for scapegoats. I don’t recall seeing such raw, unbridled rage from supposedly unbiased journalists. Maybe the McCain/Palin campaign should get restraining orders. They are just so angry, who knows what they might do.
Isn’t it strange how AP and all the other news outlets never hear the hate spewed at Obama rallies? Very strange, isn’t it? lol....Talk about a double standard !
