Nice

Effigy. It was inevitable given the incendiary climate. When will McCain/Palin take responsibility for stoking this hatred?

NO NO NO NO. Bullshit. I will not listen to this. Don't make me post the disgusting hatred that seethes from the gutter of your party every single day.

I have almost never posted the bullshit from your side that happens every single fucking day. I have focused on what your guy does and says, not his fringe asslickers. I dont want to make this site a forum for pointing out how stupid our rabids on both sides are. So stop it.

Brody: Let me ask you a little bit about some of these rallies. I know that some, some people, John McCain have called them "fringe," out there who have said some things out there about Barack Obama at his rallies. Do you feel a responsibility when those are said to say "enough of this type of talk"?

Palin: Absolutely. But what we have heard through some mainstream media is that folks have hollered out some pretty atrocious and unacceptable things like "kill him" or some, we have not heard that. If I ever were to hear that standing up there at the podium with the mic, I would call 'em out on that, and I would tell these people, "No, that's unacceptable, let's rise above that, please." We haven't heard that.

What I have heard, though, is even in the other camp, though, some negativity that has been injected in the campaign with the candidate himself, with Barack Obama telling his supporters to get out there and, quote, "get in their face, argue with them." That, you know, that's kind of inciting and a bit negative, and John McCain and I will have nothing to do with that, but it is unacceptable if we were ever to hear the shout-outs that are so negative that we have heard being reported, if I were to hear that I would say no, we don't stand for that.

"You might be unAmerican if . . . A Vice Presidential candidate schmoozes a crowd by calling them pro-American and you immediately think you're being called un-American."

You want to wear a t-shirt that says Sarah Palin is a See You Next Tuesday? Hey, this is America. You want to hurt a defenseless woman for daring to hold a McCain/Palin sign? Ahhh, no big deal. Want to trick McCain into a photo shoot for a national magazine, and then use the pictures for the vilest propaganda imaginable? Artistic license. Want to say "F*** all y'all" to an entire political party on your former comedy show? Brave social commentary. Want to plaster up signs in public places depicting Palin as a bloodthirsty ghoul? Youthful exuberance.

Want to yell "Tell 'im!" at a political rally? You racist. You Nazi. You Republican.

McCain effigy: http://lettersinbottles.blogspot.com/2008/09/mccain-effigy-st-paul.html

I can't tell the McCain effigy was hanged or burned or beheaded on purpose. (That's what was offensive about the Obama one -- not that they made an effigy.) Eventually, it's head fell off -- but I can't tell that that wasn't just the result of poor construction. If they beheaded it, then that's wrong.

If this sounds familiar, there’s a good reason. Apparently, political vandalism has become all the rage (pun intended) in the Twin Cities this year, especially against the center-Right and conservatives. I’ve had a yard sign stolen, but that’s nothing compared to one local man who had both of his cars spray-painted with Obama slogans — for nothing more than having a McCain bumper sticker.

Dead bear cub. And an assault.

Please. Get your facts straight.

Authorities said Tuesday that a student prank, not a political statement, was the motivation for dumping a dead bear cub draped in Barack Obama signs on a North Carolina campus earlier this week.

Seven Western Carolina University students were involved, and possible charges were being discussed with the local prosecutor, said Campus Police Chief Tom Johnson. Police did not release the students' names.

The students told authorities they took political signs at random to cover the bear's wound and prevent blood from spilling into the bed of the truck they were driving.

They discovered a carcass of the cub, which had been shot in the head, while camping over the weekend and brought it back to a gathering at an apartment near campus Sunday night, according to a statement from the school.

Well, let's hope so but I'm skeptical.

And I'm not engaging in this anymore and wish I hadn't started. Not that I don't enjoy it: I simply don't have 25 hours a day to chronicle all the crap that comes from your side, and to correct you on the stuff you think you've found.

I can't tell what time HotAir did its update on the story about Twin cities vandalism so I don't know if you heard, but the vandals targeted dems too (Ellison and Klobuchar).
