They're becoming a mob

Slowhand, I said these fanatics at these rallies were like nazis with a mid west twist, not that everyone in the mid west is a nazi, backwards or in any way "bad".




A little creepy, but not that disturbing. Some parents organized their children into a quire, they are not calling for murder, racism or facism.

McCain stands before a crowd and someone says to kill his opponent and he does not make a comment, but in fact seems to support the statement?

You need to work on your denying what you're saying.
This is "disturbing"? Damn skippy it's at least disturbing.
I guess it depends on what one really thinks about things. Doesn't it?

Vesayen, sorry. I should say, I was picking an argument with you, after a point. Sometimes I get that way.
You know how us Texans are.

Bah, this is nothing. You should have been here during Vietnam. Ohio National Guardsmen shooting students at Kent State. Jackson State students being shot by cops for swearing. Cops being assassinated while patrolling. Government buildings being bombed. Patty Hearst being kidnapped, radicalized and joining her captors in robbing banks.

Yes but the difference is that these days the dividing lines in society align much much more neatly with the two main political parties than they did then.

No, he meant people singing the praises of Agrippa Postumus. Duh.

I find children singing in unison like they are in sunday school far creepier than a random nutcase. I can deal with a wackjob here, a nutter there. Children singing praises to their glorious leader-that is terrifying.

Come on, this is a simple godwin thing. The major horror in the video was the aching cacophony displayed by the children. While the Hitler youth choruses kept singing about dying for their Führer-Lord, the pro-Obama choruses kept to the simple "Yes we can" thing.

It's telling that the video ends with "mullah Obama" painted at the wall. It's just a pathetic godwin-smear.

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I found it a good read and powerful in its way. In short, I can relate, and if even one other person finds themselves feeling the same, then my putting the link here will have been for the good.

WHOA, dude. I'd like to see you support THAT statement.

Ugly campaign video - linky

Wow and at the VP debate they were booing Biden and making other extremely rude gestures.

This country scares the **** out of me sometimes.

I didn't see McCain support any such statement in that video.

If seriously doubt that similar things wouldn't happen at a Democratic rally whenever Palin spoke then you are utterly hopeless.

Did you watch both conventions. Democrats are generally much more civilized, although there are some aggressive individuals.

edit: Also this wasn't a Palin rally. It was the debates.

Wha? Of course he's Hitler.

Why do kids singing about him bother you?
