The text:
1:25 PM Eastern Time, today, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. During the warm-up act by a Red Meat Congressional Candidate aptly named Chris Hackett, Hackett mentions Obama and a Palin audience member shouts "Kill Him."In case you missed it.And Gov. Palin, as usual, does nothing about it says nothing to these thugs and psychos. She may not have heard this one. It is impossible to believe that by now she has not heard about the other ones. Her silence is deafening. Just as, Sen. McCain, you have done nothing when violence has been asserted. Correction. You have done one thing.
Asked why in real time you do not repudiate this hatefulness you act as if you are the victim. Speaking today to our NBC Station in Washington.
McCain: "Sure and I repudiated it as I have on several occasions. Unfortunately, Congressman John Lewis is an American hero who I admire who made the worst, most unacceptable statement a couple days ago that I have ever heard. He accused me and Sarah Palin of being involved in segregation, George Wallace and even made reference to a church bombing where children were killed. Senator Obama has not repudiated that statement. Senator Obama should do so immediately. Its the most outrageous thing that I have heard since in politics...it is disgraceful."
Disgraceful?
Obviously, Senator, you haven't heard your own speeches, and Gov. Palin's, and what people shout during them. And you haven't heard your state GOP Chair in Virginia, Jeffrey Frederick, giving talking points to 30 of your field-operatives heading out to canvass voters in Gainesville, Virginia. With a reporter present, telling them to try to forge a connection between Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden to emphasize bombings and terrorism. And you haven't heard those volunteers, your volunteers Sen. McCain, shout back "and he won't salute the flag" and "we don't even know where Sen. Obama was really born."
Sen. McCain, these people are speaking for you! And how dare you try to claim Congressman Lewis was linking you to Gov. George Wallace's segregation. He was linking you, aptly, to Gov. George Wallace's lynch-mob mentality.
"As public figures with the power to influence and persuade," said Congressman Lewis, "Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are playing with fire, and if they are not careful, that fire will consume us all."
Sen. McCain, your supporters, at your events, are calling Obama a terrorist and traitor and are calling for him to be killed. And yet you keep bringing back these same rabid Right Wing nuts to deliberately stir these crowds into frenzies. And then you take offense when somebody who remembers the violence in our political past, calls you on it. You, sir, are responsible for a phalanx of individuals who are shouting fire in a crowded theatre. There are some things to respect and honor about you, Sen. McCain.
But on this, you're not only a fraud, Senator but you are tacitly inciting lunatics to violence. If you want to again grand-stand and suspend your campaign here's your big chance. Suspend your campaign now, until you, or somebody else, gets some control over it and it ceases to be a clear and present danger to the peace of this nation.

That's interesting ... and despicable. I have a theory about Gov. Palin: She's not a pit bull with lipstick. She's a Trojan Horse. She's really the oe running for president. McCain is just a straw man. What's more worrisome , and I can't understand why the media isn't looking more closely at this, is her history as a Pentecostalist who may (or may not) be an End of Days advocate. Which is REALLY scary to think that she may have her finger (fairly soon) on the nuclear trigger. It's a bit too much to get into here, but I wrote about it on Monday at my primarily Steelers blog, Joey Porter's Pit Bulls. "Sarah Pailin: Trojan Horse, End of Days and the Nuclear Trigger" at http://joeyporterspitbulls.blogspot.com/2008/10/trojan-horse-bringing-on-end-of-days.html
(I'm not one usually to promote my own blog, but I do believe it is important for people to realize what this woman is about and the potentially horrifying implications for all of us).
John K: LMAO Disgraceful? LOL LOL LOL As opposed to the banners run on this blog along with the movie and books published about how to assissate Bush. LMAO You left wingers got some nerve. But then Ayers is running the agenda and he has killed Americans. LOL
John K: Pit Bulls should be scared. Real scared. Palin is a feminist who has succeeded with conservative values. Which scares the heck out of lefties who think you cannot succeed without their help. Palin has debunked all the lefty myths. All of them. From abortion to standing up to the oil industry. And all without help from the left wing kooks. So now the goal for the left is to hunt her down to the ends of the Earth and destroy her for the fact that she threatens their beliefs. Nothing like a feminist who is pro life to scare pit bulls into a frenzy. And it is so much fun to watch.
JK
Tell us WHEN this blog advocated the assassination of George Bush.
It hasn't - and you're lying. AGAIN.
Show us how Ayers is "running the agenda." You can't. Because he isn't - and you're lying. AGAIN.
And (do we need to say it?) Ayers NEVER KILLED ANYONE.
So you're lying. AGAIN. Aren't you?
John K: Not only did Ayers kill American citizens he also killed two of his friends. And then went into hiding. Real tough guy eh? Yep, a movie and a book all about killing Bush. MSNBC previewed it. Mcslag, LOL LOL It is fun mocking you but even better mocking you when you try to deny truth. LMAO
johnk,
Were the "book and movie" ever released in the United States?
Let me help you: No. They were not.
But, then, when have details ever mattered to you?
Speaking of liars, looks like your hero lied in this Special Komment.
Olbermann Kicks Off Special Komment with a Lie
She may not have heard it? Here's the report from the Scranton Times-Tribune that Oralmann used as his source. It confirms that was said at 1:25 pm. So far so good.
But what is Herr Olbermahn not telling us? Here's what Bathtub Boy left out:
1:40 p.m.: The press pool has arrived at Riverfront Sports. Gov. Palin should arrive shortly.
1:56 p.m.: Gov. Palin, accompanied by her husband, Todd, walked onstage to a rousing reception by the Riverfront Sports crowd as the theme from "Rocky" played.
What's this? Gov Palin hadn't even arrived when some doofus shouted "Kill Him"! Oralmann twists the facts by saying "she may not have heard" it. May not?!? She wasn't even there! "Her silence was deafening." Well, it is kind of hard to be heard when you are in a motorcade miles away.
Well, Ayers might be said to have encouraged the risky behavior that led to the accidental deaths of three of his friends. The sort of thing that makes a decent Law and Order episode. I assume the government declined to prosecute because of the illeagal wiretaps. I also assume that Ayers did not know about the wiretaps when he turned himself in.
If you are going to maintain that Ayers killed anyone directly, please provide names and dates. Or stop saying it. I don't listen to Limbaugh, so I don't know if this is something he is saying, but you might want to verify information before you repeat it, if that is what you do.
So your candidate asks you to be respectful, and you respond by mocking "mcslagslag".
You know, johnk, there is no statute of limitations on murder. If Bill Ayers really did "kill American citizens," how has he avoided indictment, trial, and conviction, all these years?
I assume the government declined to prosecute because of the illeagal wiretaps. I also assume that Ayers did not know about the wiretaps when he turned himself in.
I believe that government did not decline to prosecute. The case got dismissed because of the illegal activities by progressive hero "Deep Throat".
I do take issue with the statement in your news article that the Weathermen indictment was dismissed because of “prosecutorial misconduct.” It was dismissed because of illegal activities, including wiretaps, break-ins and mail interceptions, initiated by John N. Mitchell, attorney general at that time, and W. Mark Felt, an F.B.I. assistant director.
As a side note, I'd like to know when did replacing the letter C with the letter K suddenly become short hand for identifying someone (the "Klintons") or something ("Komment", or "Amerika") as being warped/evil/Other?
I've always assumed that it was the wingnuts way of implying that someone was a pinko-commie type.
(In its original language, Marx's book is "das Kapital."
Good Americans use "c." Commies use "k."
My bad, Heir, I hadn't bothered to jump over to Wikipedia so I had forgotten about the case being dismissed. And it sounds like Olbermann should apologize for his comments (FWIW I am not a big fan of Olbermann's, like I am not a fan of Limbaugh or O'Reilly). Of course, Olbermmann does not seem to be the type to apologize unless forced by the network.
A case that is dismissed can be re-filed. Hey, those old radicals who were re-surfacing a few years ago, like Sarah Jane Olsen, were convicted and imprisoned, when they resurfaced.
How has Ayers managed to stay free, if he so clearly was responsible for deaths?
ayers friends blew themselves up. you fool with bombs, that happens.
ayers did not kill anyone.
was he wrong back then? yes.
but if john k. has to drag out an old radical from the 60's then all i can do is laugh at him.
John K: Sherry, they sure did blow themselves up. Ahhh yes the oh so intelligent liberal trying to construct a bomb. LOL And what did Ayers do, run for the underground. Stand up guy eh? LMAO So what do Bin laden and Ayers have in common, they both tried to blow up the Pentagon. By the way, I see Hussein Obama is already saying he would not have Ayers in his cabinet. Now why would he say that if it did not bother him? Hmmmmm? LOL LOL LOL
John K: So that banner that says impeach says what Kimber? And that fake photo of Rove you lefties love to run is what? Truth. LOL LOL LOL LOL
A case that is dismissed can be re-filed.
How? All of the evidence against Bill Ayers was tainted by Deep Throat's actions.
johnk,
Impeachment is a political act, not a violent one. Hell, "Impeach" was the least that folks like yourself called for when Bill Clinton was in office.
As far as the photoshopped image of Rove in cuffs, again, how does that rise to the level of calls for violence?
note to heir: If Ayers' crimes were so heinous, why not re-file the charges, and see if the SC lets the evidence against him in? With Roberts, Alito, Scalia, and Thomas, you're 4/5ths of the way there, aren't you?
So, John K. and Heir,
If William Ayers is so dangerous why did Walter Annenberg let him associate with the Chicago Annenberg Challenge?
I mean, Annenberg was a good friend of Ronald Reagan - why was he associating w/ a terrorist?
And how much do you wingers love that video of McCain praising ACORN?
Well, when it comes to K replacing C in words, it could also be a slam against rightist elements, with the connection of K to KKK. For example, KDKKKA. I've been calling the station that since 10 days ago, when I passed by the KDKKKA tent and listened to some Russkie blowhard named Dmitry spout off about Ayers, scary black men, etc. Makes him seem no different than the people who chased my ancestors out of Russia 100 years ago.
