VIDEO: The McCain-Palin mob in Strongsville, Ohio

Wed, Oct 8, 2008
Politics

It’s no wonder that the slightest incitement from Sarah Palin or John McCain will turn one of their rallies into a lynch mob. Just talk to the folks who attend.

My camera was rolling for literally seconds before people happily said to me, on camera, that Barack Obama is a terrorist. If I hadn’t spent most of my time at the event inside, waiting for the candidates to show up, I could have gotten dozens of these people on tape.

It appears the McCain campaign has either been told to tone it down by the Secret Service, or is toning it down themselves, because Ayers never came up in the building. Which is good, because if they had invoked Ayers, this crowd, as you will see from the YouTube, would have easily gone to the death threats we’ve heard before, keeping the Secret Service busy for weeks. Of course, Jim Trakas [the Republican running against Dennis Kucinich this year] didn’t get the memo, saying Barack Obama [and Dennis Kucinich] supporters are “sinners” and implored the crowd to “pray for their souls [ http://www.plunderbund.com/2008/10/08/breaking-jim-trakas-says-barack-obama-supporters-are-sinners/ ].”

Bonus footage of people claiming they know Sarah Palin better than they know Barack, and in fact, never heard of Barack.

I’ve been doing blog video for a while, and presidential rallies a lot longer. And this is the most strange, ignorant, uninformed, angry, up-to-no-good, and gullible group of people I’ve ever seen at a political rally.

Ever.
