Hey Russell i doubt if Mcain put the sign there himself but im sure Barak Hussien Obama accepts money from Madonna which makes her a campaign financier and he doesnt denounce her hateful spewings.

Mcain and Palin have brought out the latent racist in their followers and have taken our fine country back 50+ years. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore. Check out the link below:

I think that for the rest of the election there should be no more negative ads except regarding the issues. I think that Hannity, O'Reilly and elisabeth (ther view) should not be able to talk about anything except the issues. Most of the people who come on to talk about Obama seem like Robots ... It should only be the issues.

That 's a good way to look at it.

I agree. Let's stay focused. I think that is what is helping the campaign the most. Just remember all the people who marched and sat at the counters of diners.

jp...Madonna is not running for office. No one from Mccain or Obama's camp need answer for the comments of a private citizen. That is just beyond the pale!

I also thought you weren't suppose to bring those signs in either. I think that both campaigns should not have anything that says NO. Just have things that say vote for them. Most people have already made up their mind. I think that the youth are going to be the most important factor in this race to the White House.

I know these people believe they are helping McCain. I guess they are too stupid to realize that this damages him.

A sign like that would be sweet revenge, but remember, we are not that evil. Lets leave the fearmongering and hatred to the Republicans, they are very good at it.

I do not care what anyone says, McPalin condone this kind of behavior. I was told at Obama rallies, homemade signs are not allowed. All McPlain have to do is make a short speech before the rally, stating they will not allow racist or violent language or signs, have they done that? Somebody talk me down. The excuse that they did not hear the hate is crap.

If you're going to hold up a sign like that, alright. Have the balls to hold it, then. Don't chicken out and just leave it there. Stand up like a man. Let's see the face behind the views.

Why Mccain camp don't stop the true hatred and divison of instruments that is deployed by there followers?

Maybe put a sign of McCain, G.Gordon Liddy and Keating.

I think there are two groups of Republicans, the ones you describe and what's left of the old guard. We saw that during the voting for the bailout.

jp - Madonna was wrong. McCain and Palin are wrong. Please do not excuse a bad act by pointing to another bad act.

Des - no arguments from me. Unfortunately, we have to knock down one barrier at a time. A generation back, neither a Black man nor a woman would have been considered by either major party. Right now, it is not possible for a non-Christian or someone of semitic background to be considered. I hope to live long enough to see that end.

Maybe we need to put one up that has a picture of Bush, McCain, and Cheney

I just watched Campbell Brown on CNN and she mentioned something the MSM has not commented on.At a McCain rally, a woman thought Obama was an Arab and McCain said, Oh No he is a decent family man. So are the over 1 million Arab Americans and 7 million Muslims law abiding citizens are automatically disqualified from higher office because of their race or culture or religion? and are all terrorists?,but Henry Kissinger a non-American born should be allowed to run by a constitutional amendment.America has truly lost its soul to the right wing racists.

This is the only way to make John McCain look good, By comparing Barack Obama to Bin Ladin. Just this last summer, Obama was a celebrity and not ready to lead. Now that McCain's Palin edge is gone, and Obama is leading in the polls, all they can do claim that Obama is a terrorist. I'm glad this tactic has hurt McCain, I think he deserves it.

probably done by a dem. the dem. moral guidance leaders such as madonna can show a picture of mcain with swaztikas and that is ok, double standards it seems, the socialist spew their own hatred.

Dirty politics trying to keep in power the same lying politicians (President and VP) now leading our country.
