Obviously, I'm not saying we should be physically battling them, but we should obviously be working for their political destruction.

4 more years of Bush-like politics is bad enough, but McCain/Palin won't be the same, it will be worse.

Read this for an example of the very real monster we are facing right now:

Dana Milbank of the Washington Post has an interesting account of Sarah Palin's day campaigning in Florida. The McCain campaign's designated pitbull is going after the mainstream media and, as Milbank reports in this startling account, things are getting ugly:

In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."

A McCain/Palin campaign is bad enough, just think about how a McCain/Palin presidency would work out for our nation.

And that is why neither the presidency or the campaign should be in existence any longer.

1. As much as I dislike the McCain/Palin ticket...
poor widdle main stream media. That big bad bully girl from Alaska is hurting their feelings. Hey MSM? Listen up! Most of your are not real journalists anyway. Now couple that with the fact that you have been trying to brainwash us for the last 50 years. You have been complicit in an illegal war, you have "selected" presidents for us and now you want us to feel sorry for you? Stuff it!

3. Agreed, but think about this for a minute
She is pissing off the media--not the producers, editors or on-screen "talent" but the people on the ground-- the sound and camera guys, techs--the people who make it all work. Or don't.

"Don't know what happened--we just lost that feed..."

2. Its one thing to run a negative
campaign, but those two have crossed the line into hate territory. Hate speech, inciting hate and violence isn't going to win them an election. This has the potential not only to loose them the election but to backfire BIG TIME.

4. I am pissed...
and the media is at fault here..once again. It is no mistake that they were playing Palin's rally over and over repeating her assertions that Obama was palling around with a 'known terrorist'. They light the match and start the fire, and sit back and say..oh my look...there are some on the left that are troubled, but it's nothing new, both sides do this.
