Basically, they're accusing Republicans of acting like Democrats.

Leave it to the San Francisco paper to get it backwards.

booed by supporters at a Minnesota rally

When Minnesotans are booing the GOP candidate for not being conservative enough....you got yourself some problems.

If it’s a fact, it’s not an attack.

McCain is laying out facts about Obama’s past.

Truth hurts!

We know he’s not conservative enough, that’s not what he was booed for.

It’s a good thing when people are riled at the thought of your opponent.

I guess that is why he chastised them for it.

Too bad the real life ending is likely to be different.

Carla Marinucci knows everything about the GOP. All the inside scoop. What an idiot.

If the Chronicle actually thinks it will influence any Republicans with their propaganda, they’re even more deluded than I thought. They long ago burned off any readers to the right of Jerry Brown.

Nah, it’s because he’s a lousy campaigner.

Fortunately he’s running against the only candidate he could beat (Kucinich excepted).

mccain promised to name names of corrupt politicans, but so far he has refused to

we all know mccain will never change, we’re all voting for him only coz of palin. With palin as vice president, it will put her in a good position to run for president in 2012

I sort of took it that they were booing the thought of Zero being “nice”.

I may have it all wrong but I saw it as a good thing...they utterly refused to accept any attempt to portray him as anything but evil, even if it was half-heartedly coming from Mac.

[IMO, he did *not* say it like he believed it himself...I assume if I picked that up, others did too]

Obama, ... said Friday on CNN, "Nothing's easier than riling up a crowd by stoking anger and division."

Oh, ain't that sweet irony? This is like a rapist blaming the victim for struggling too much.

They've built their candidacy out of spewing hatred non-stop for Bush, Conservatives, Christians, etc. And when we demand McCain respond, we're accused of anger and divisiveness.
