What will separate the US from your fears is that this rhetoric has few takers. We are in the middle of an economic catastrophe for all americans. Few have the patience with those who paint mild mannered obama with his brush. It will backfire big time. Palen is an attractive women who had a future but now will be the dan quail of her generation after this election. And McShame, its time to exit the stage. Do the right think John, drop out and let Sarah run for President.

There is that. It, apparently, is becoming a staple at Palin's rallies. Not just "kill him", but "terrorist" and "treason" seems to be popular.

Can someone produce a video or some link about the "kill him" remark? I know how you guys like to MSU.

Terrorist? That's appropriate. The man associates with multiple terrorists, so why should he not face the music? If you lie down with dogs you're going to get fleas. Obama has a history of hanging with some of the worst dogs in the nation.

Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. 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."

McCain's swoon is largely out of his control, the result of an economic collapse that ignited new fears Monday when the Dow Jones industrial average closed below 10,000 for the first time in four years. That's why his lead in Florida polls, which once reached as high as 15 points, has turned into a three-point deficit.

But the campaign has reacted with recriminations (the St. Petersburg Times reported that the Florida Republican Party chairman, after questioning Palin's aptitude, was told that he couldn't fly on her plane) and now Palin's rage.

The angry GOP vice presidential nominee even found a way to blame the market decline on the yet-to-be-enacted tax policies of the yet-to-be-elected Obama.

"If you turn on the news tonight when you get home, you're gonna see that, yah, this is another woeful day in the market, and the other side just doesn't understand -- no!" she said at an afternoon fundraiser at the home of mutual fund giant Jack Donahue. "Especially in a time like this, you don't propose to increase taxes. The phoniest claim in a campaign that's full of them is that Barack Obama is going to cut your taxes.""
