I apologize, but I'm going to talk politics for a moment. The McCain campaign disgusts me so much that I just have to get this out there. I am so incredibly angry right now.
And frankly, whether or not you like my candidate, this should not be tolerated. You should be angry, too.
Obama makes a cool-as-cucumber analysis of people cheering for his murder at McCain rallies. The McCain campaign says these people are "regular people" with "issues they care about" and Obama just doesn't understand them. That's why he's ATTACKING THEM.
Listen, you outrageous assholes. Attacking is that thing you do when you go at someone with a knife or a gun. It's that thing that your supporters want to do to Obama. Obama did not attack your supporters, he attacked you for allowing it to happen, and here you go defending them again. Those are not regular people. Murdering a politician isn't an issue. You cannot defend this, or blame it on Obama. Nobody yells "Kill him" at an Obama rally. NOBODY. With a 9% chance of getting elected in a few weeks, you need to prepare your base for the reality of defeat. You need to stop pretending that shouting "KILL HIM!" at a political rally is okay.
It is not fucking okay.
Tell those ignorant imbeciles that death threats are not appropriate. That Obama is not a terrorist, he will not be bad for this country, and that no one should kill him. This is not a speech that can wait for when you lose on election day.
Be a goddamn man, McCain. Show some fucking humanity. Tell your base to stop frothing at the mouth. Don't act like death threats are acceptable political views. A lynch mob isn't going to help you win the election.
