where some attendees shout racial epithets and chant 'terrorist,' they are condoning and encouraging a lynch mob mentality.
Tell them that, as NowandZen posted in a recommended diary:
. . . McCain and Palin may be knowingly or unknowingly becoming the leaders of a fear-mongering, racist, verbally-threatening mob and it's up to them to reign this thing back in before they become the leaders of something disturbing. That may sound like an exaggeration, but yesterday, their campaign trail literally saw fear-mongering, racism and verbal threats.
I'm listening to Ed Schultz and, aside from the many callers on air damning yesterday's noxious attacks against Obama, Ed asked MSNBC's David Shuster if it wasn't media's responsibility to condemn this kind of dangerous rabble-rousing. Shuster said that he is substituting for Norah McDonnell at 3 PM EDT (12 Noon PDT); he says he plans to have a McCaint surrogate as a guest, and will play both the 'kill him' and 'terrorist' clips, as well as a clip from 2000 in which McCaint denounced character attacks.
Shuster says they will ask if McCaint is now stirring the pot and supporting and encouraging this kind of riotous behavior.
As livjack posted in the diary linked above:
[T]he msm better stop implicitly condoning this behavior by reporting on it without condemning it. Are they so interested in pimping for ratings that they run this stuff--fanning the flames?
