Take your blood pressure meds, ladies and gents:
It doesn't get any more explicit that that, does it? And these are some of the folks that McCain is "proud" to be associated with?
Follow me below the fold for a discussion, but before you do, Digg this video, please).
(Note: I posted a diary about this yesterday, but it scrolled off so fast it didn't get a good airing; much of the text below is what I posted yesterday since I have to get to work soon.)
Just a few notes about the video:
1. I love the ending, an upbeat hiphop/rock union tune, backing up the shots of Obama supporters making their cheerful presence known, a stark contrast to the hate and vitriol spewing from the other side (and notice the earlier shot, about :50 seconds in, of the McCain crazies advancing on the Obama side, very menacingly).
2. Note the logical extension of the McCain/Palin arguments being spouted by these nut cases: "When you associate with terrorists, you're a terrorist," "His assoications and his judgement are not American," and "He's a communist!"
3. Note also, as the McCain bus (Straight Jacket Express?) arrives, these same vicious supporters are cheering and stomping. He's forever tied himself to the bitter core of racism and jingoism that is, today, just a dying husk of American shame.
4. Notice, at about 1:50, the McCain supporters yelling at the cops who are just doing their crowd-control job; that little vignette ends with one of McCain's "patriots" scorning Pottsville's finest with a dismissive "Take a hike!"
5. The Secret Service needs to interview the first person interviewd in the video ("bomb obama") who claims first hand knowledge of assassination plots.
6. Cheers to keystoneprogress.org for a great video; excellent taping, interviewing, editing and quick turnaround (the event was just yesterday!). Give them some love!
(Feel free to add your own observations to the comments.)
Good riddance, John. Enjoy your legacy.
Now rec this up, folks, please. The true spirit of what McCain and Palin have ginned up has to be put out to the public at large at this critical juncture.
Let's flush this "movement" down the toilet of history's abject failures.
And don't forget to Digg it! (H/T to MKSinSA)
