Anti-Obama Fury Spills Over Into Down-Ticket Contests: "Bomb Obama"
By Greg Sargent - October 10, 2008, 12:22PM
The fury and loathing of Obama being whipped up largely by McCain-Palin-GOP
rhetoric about the Illinois Senator is now spilling into down-ticket races,
specifically the battle between GOP incumbent Saxby Chambliss and his Dem
challenger:
Thursday's debate took place in front of a highly partisan crowd in the
GOP stronghold of Middle Georgia.
Chambliss supporters waved "Saxby" signs and offered up a sustained "boos"
when Martin mentioned Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
"Bomb Obama," one woman hollered.
This isn't a McCain rally, to be sure. But McCain could definitely have an
impact on the overall climate if he called on the McCainiacs to calm down a
notch or two and made a public gesture of some kind in order to let it be
known that some behavior is simply unacceptable.
Asking the McCain campaign to stop insinuating that Obama is a terrorist is
probably a bit much to expect. But as the leader of the Republican Party
right now, he could let it be known that there is a line somewhere that
shouldn't be crossed. Of course, that would require him to show leadership.

Play the ball as it lies.
Play the course as you find it.
And if you can’t do either, do what is fair.

Fascism is about the state stepping into Big Business as a kind of
owner. Like this bailout.
Which as far as I can tell is a bi-partisan bailout.

Yes where are the Republicains? There don't seem to be any left in this
Administration! This has been my pet peeve against W, his "Compassionate"
(read Big Gov't) brand of Conservative. He seems to be determined to play
Hoover to Maobama's FDR.

Where's Bobby with his dicrionary? Fascism is where you hold the
interests of the state as being greater than the interests of the
individual.

In economic terms it is midway between private ownership and control of "the
means of production" and State ownership and control. You still have private
ownership, just the State has the control.
Since you feel this way, be sure to turn your social security check
back into the government when you get it.
