PHILADELPHIA (AFP) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Saturday thanked his Republican rival John McCain for urging supporters to be respectful and stop hurling abuse at Obama at his rallies.
"Now, I want to acknowledge that Senator McCain tried to tone down the rhetoric yesterday in his town hall meeting and I appreciate his reminder that we can disagree while still being respectful of each other," Obama said.

“We want to fight, and I will fight, but we will be respectful. I admire Senator Obama and his accomplishments and I will respect him,” McCain told a Minnesota rally.
“I want everyone to be respectful and let’s make sure we are, because that is the way that politics should be conducted in America,” McCain said.
“John, thanks for handing me the election!”

I also want to thank John McCain for handing over the election without a fight...thanks John.
Stop this bullsh!t now! Please.
That line right there is interesting when you consider that PA supposedly has Obama way ahead in the public polls at least, why would Obama be blitzing through Philly to stir up votes if that was completely true.
sure as long as he does not bring the truth to light why would he not be happy?
if there is any mention of his cousin Odinga after Ayers well, that will be incitement as well.

McCain is fighting. He’s pointing out differences between himself and McCain. Let the 527s do the dirty work.
My respect can never be earned by criminal Muslim terrorists.
this traitor is very very afraid that people are mad at him, pelosi, dodd, all these hooligan. These thugs need to be very worried, i tell you.
Tone down the rhetoric = stop hammering the truth about me.
Can you respect your voters Mr. McCain?
It doesn’t matter. It’s over, I’m sorry to say.
CALLING OBAMA A RESPECTABLE FAMILY MAN THAT WE NEED NOT FEAR IS OUTRAGEOUS!
McCAIN TAKING THE ABUSE AND INSULTS FROM OBAMA AND REFUSING TO FIGHT BACK IS OUTRAGEOUS!
WE’RE NOT TURNING THE WHITE HOUSE KEYS OVER TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA- NOT IF WE ON FR, RUSH, HANNITY AND FOX HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!
FReep McCAIN/ MSM OUT.
HOW LONG CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS??
.
McCain is losing this campaign because he refuses to fight Obama and his lies, and dirty tactics such as ACORN voter fraud. He’s just been rolling over (or bending over, I should say) and accepting the abuse heaped upon him- and expecially Sarah Palin.
The anemic attempts by the McCain camp to fight back within the last few days just ain’t gonna get it.
He should have been hitting Obama back hard months ago.
He needs to get out there every day and FIGHT BACK.
Email Republican headquarters/McCain.
FReep ‘EM OUT!
CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS?
REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!
To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.
RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’
Take off the gloves, McCain!
Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!
Get off the d*mned economy issue. State that Obama/Democrats/ACORN caused this meltdown. State McCain offered a proposal to avert the meltdown and GET OFF IT.
Obama is counting on keeping this going to take the spotlight off his sordid past and dirty dealings!
NOTHING is more important than waking America up to this Marxist/Muslim!! DO IT. EXPOSE HIM!
FReep ‘EM!!!!

IMPORTANT
Be sure to add your name and town and email - or they won’t read them.
When emailing. they won’t read mass emails so put just one email add in the “to” line then click on BBC at the end of that line. a BCC line will open just above subject line. copy paste the rest of the addresses in there and each recipient will see ONLY their name.
well, looks like alinsky tactics are working. i’m sure obama campaign is
planting this people and idiots like dana milbank use it to push
agenda. next, nyt distorts story even more to smear the rallies. they
were obviously concerned about the ferocity of support palin engenders.
I’ve long said that representatives are castrated when they become senators and it certainly seems to be the case with McCain.
Should have picked a representative as a candidate despite the fact that they “can’t win”.
Nice job, John. Jackass.
I wonder when John will throw Sarah under the bus for 'whipping' people into a frenzy over Ayers, etc.
More of the marxist using our own rules to defeat us.
why won’t the press see what they’re doing by not vetting him?????
I am impatiently waiting for the 527’s.
Then shut up and leave if it is over.
