She still should not have refused to shake his hand. These people behaved no better than the hostile onlookers at the McCain rally in NYC. What matters is who we vote for. Until then we can at least be civil.

Personally I would not have shouted at him, I would have shaken his hand and would have been polite and civil to him (but I also would have left no doubt about who I was supporting and why if he would hear me out). That's the way I was raised and because I don't believe acting like the enemy.

But in comparison, this is no where near the level of hate, vitriol and bigotry as displayed by the other side. No supporters of Obama at this restaurant had racial slurs hurled at them, I did by protesters however at McCain's ABQ rally.

Well, this IS still a free country, for now anyway, and a lot of people here lack the finesse of a phony. I’d rather have a crude patriot than a polished politician watching my back any time.

I agree that we should still be civil...to each other. However, if Hussein Obama offered me his hand, I would rather cut mine off than shake his given what he is attempting to do to my country.

Duroing the waning years of the regime of the "Impeached One" he presided at several college commencements. Many graduating seniors refused to shake his hand, simply ignoring him and passing him by. I admired such integrity in the young.

I have contempt and revulsion for this Obamanoid who would dismantle the country I love, and ruin it for my children, and I would not compromise myself by shaking his hand. That's the way I was raised.

I love the fact that she refused to shake his hand.

I see it as entirely appropriate, and an excellent symbol of how the electorate should treat such vermin who sit in the pews of a Farrakhan Leghorn such as Jeremiah Wright for 20 years—not to mention the countless other nefarious collaborations with foreign and domestic enemies of America that Hussein has cultivated over the years.

No, I’m proud of her for refusing to make nice with the abortion advocate.

As was posted earlier this week in an op-ed piece by the Bishop of Denver, tolerance is not a Christian virtue, it is an evil to tolerate evil, and we should stop being polite out of a misguided sense of manners.
