ABC's Terry Moran to Biden: Does Palin's rhetoric make you concerned for Obama's safety?

[St. Louis Conservative]

In a gushing look at a day on the campaign trail with Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden for Monday's "Nightline," ABC's Terry Moran charged Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin's rhetoric about Barack Obama has “stoked the anger at Republican rallies, where there have been reports of attendees yelling things like 'terrorist' and 'kill him.'"

After that setup, an earnest Moran asked Biden if he now fears for Obama's “safety,” and he pressed Biden to denigrate Palin: “Is she up to the job in your judgment?”

Moran clearly suggested to Biden that Palin's criticism of Obama (“someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country”) endangers the Democratic nominee as he followed that clip: “Are you at all concerned in this home stretch for Senator Obama's safety?”

Does Obama’s associates make you scared?

[rintense]

No, it makes me concerned for Palin’s safety and that of her family. The vitriol Obama supporters have spewed toward her and her family is ten times what any rally shouter has said.

Terry Moran is Stephanopolus’s petting toy!

Terry bobble head, just bobs up and down..yes you ar right Mr. Stepannopolaus....What every you say!

[Frank_Discussion]

I used to just dislike and laugh at “Hot Lips” Moran, but now I’ve graduated to hate. Moran is a complete bastard for even asking the question. :\

Crap like this makes me want to work very hard to take the media down. We need an aggressive campaign to just turn them all off, cancel newspaper subscriptions and put them out of business. Force them to be fair.

[EyeGuy]

Does the sophomoric, hideously one-sided LeftMedia propagandizing make you concerned for the safety of our precious Republic?

[Puddleglum]

Dear Terry Moron,

Which candidate palled around with a mad bomber? Which party has visceral hatred of life and embraces the Stalinist idea that “one death is a tragedy; a million are a statistic?” Which party has a candidate who supported violent, murderous election aftermath in Kenya? Which candidate told his supporters to “get in their face?” Which candidate has supporters who wish Palin has aborted Trg and that her daughter would abort her baby?

The SILENCE of the media on legitimate Obama character issues is what is stoking the outrage. Remember, the KKK was also Democrat (ask Sen. Byrd.)

Thank you. I couldn't have said it better (only louder.)

[Right Wing Assault]

So, if I go to a Palin rally and yell, “Kill her!”, then the media will ask the McCain campaign if they fear for Palin’s life and if obama and Biden are ready for the job?

Suuure they will.

[jersey117]

Which candidate palled around with a mad bomber?

A mad bomber who plotted to bomb Fort Dix where young soldiers were attending a dance with their civilian girlfriends. He wanted to blow them to pieces.

REPORT THAT MORAN.

[Genoa]

Such a question is in very poor taste, plus it is based on a grossly false and unfair premise about the McCain-Palin campaign. If anything, they have been holding back. The GOP candidates aren’t getting anyone stirred up. People are angry because of the media and the Obama-Biden Democrats. But they can’t admit that.

[Piquaboy]

I lay awake nights worring about that a-holes safety.

[svcw]

Did they ask Biden if he was concerned over Palin”s safety in Manhattan?

[Daniel Ramsey]

I am even more concerned about Sarah Palins safety, much more than any other high ranking person on earth.

Sarah Palin is the only real person that can possibly upset the years long plan of destroying America, a plan that has cost billions, a plan many refuse to acknowledge, a plan that was so diverse but so effective to date and is on the brink of success.

And one gutsy little gal from an American state that many think of as an empty desolate outpost is challenging this corrupt evil.

Diverse Obama Logos: To Each According To His Hyphen

It is a matter of common knowledge that the old-fashioned idea of One Nation Undivided is incompatible with diversity and multiculturalism. For the same reason, the concept of One Obama Logo For All has been recently found at conflict with the presidential hopeful's philosophy of catering to each minority group with a different set of words and images. As a result, his campaign has unveiled a new collection of ethnically-specific Obama logos to match each minority's pre-approved role, legend, and grievances, in full compliance with the divide-and-conquer revolutionary doctrine developed by Antonio Gramsci and perfected by Saul Alinsky.

Every progressive knows that minorities can not be self-reliant and must be treated condescendingly. It is for their own good, therefore, that the vanguard of the progressive movement defines their identities for them and tells them how they ought to feel, think, act, and vote. And, of course, what kind of blue Obama-branded T-shirts to wear. Blue is the new red.

The official Obama-Biden website provides the following alphabetical list of Party-approved minority groups who must live and act within the boundaries assigned to them by their progressive betters, as indicated in their group-specific Obama logo:

African-Americans, Arab-Americans, Asian-Americans, Disabled-Americans, Environmental-Americans, Euro-Americans, Faith-Americans, First-Americans, Foreign-Americans, Generation-Obama-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Kids-Americans, Labor-Americans, Latino-Americans, LGBT-Americans, Mediterranean-Americans, Military-Americans, Pacific-Americans, Republican-Americans, Rural-Americans, Senior-Americans, Small-Business-Americans, Sportsmen-Americans, Student-Americans, Veteran-Americans, and Women-Americans.

Obama's Website

Divide and Conquer! That is the unity Obama brings to America. Destroying 40 years of racial healing and pitting various groups at odds with one another.

NO THANKS! Keep your Change!

There used to be a section in MAD Magazine called "Scenes we'd like to see," where somebody did something unexpected in a stereotypical situation.

Moran: Sen. Biden, do you think it's hypocritical for the MSM to report on a few people shouting at a MCain rally, while not covering Obama's attendance of the Daily KOS convention?

[mlocher]

There is so much pent up anger in much of white America. We have been told what to say. We have been told what not to say. We have been told our values are no longer valid. We have been told that our view of the world is wrong. All this while the media continues to feed us blatant propaganda pieces while distorting the truth.

Finally, we get a VP candidate that understand us and relates to us. Our anger merely gets vented as shouts of "Nobama" and "boo" whenever the Messiah's name is mentioned. Our anger is not violent.

This hit piece makes me want to shout "Nobama" and "boo". I guess I am merely a right wing crazy trying to stir up violence.

No, it makes me concerned for Palin’s safety and that of her family. The vitriol Obama supporters have spewed toward her and her family is ten times what any rally shouter has said.

No kidding. I noticed someone already did what I wanted to do [reply #9]. Did terry moron ever complain when the left had mock trials of Bush and Cheney and hung them in effigy?

I know the answer, but the question had to be asked.

[truthluva]

Just keep pushing the scare tactics Terry. It ain’t workin! As a matter of fact, the people I talk to are more fired up about voting for McCain every time they hear this sorta crap. Libs always underestimate common sense.
