Another expression of down-home rural attitudes, this one captured outside of a Sarah Palin rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania yesterday -- 10.11.08. And here's a story about the incident from CBS News' Scott Conroy. And here's a story about a weaselly McCain worker named Jeffrey Frederick in Gainesville, Virginia. (Imagine what it must be like to be that guy.) The racial pus is seeping out more and more, I think, because it's been hitting the rightwing rurals that Obama might actually win and some are starting to freak out, which leads to acting out.

A movie about the assassination of President Bush.

Air America host suggesting President Bush should be whacked like Fredo in The Godfather.

Expressions of Liberal Urban attitudes?

I'm sorry, I shouldn't bother with, you know, inconvenient facts.

On the other hand, I did see Appaloosa yesterday, and found it strangely lacking. Felt like they cut out some important part of the book, and kept on rolling. I wanted to like it, but came away feeling like I was watching a made for TV movie.

Let's see, Bush and Co have no issue with the idea of using assassination on foreign leaders should they become a threat to world stability.

Many see Bush himself as a threat to world stability.

What's good for the goose, is good for the gander.

Difference is, Bush was president for a long while by the time these sentiments cropped up.

I know, inconvenient facts for your ham-fisted comparison.

So, I see that Sarah Palin decided to host a KKK Rally in Pennsylvania - I always knew that was where a large share of campaign financing came from.

I didn't see anything in that video as heinous as the Curious George doll at the Palin rally. I do, however, respect the guts of Mccain supporters who are willing to walk down the streets of New York with McCain signs (that's taking your life into your own hands).

MathewM: There's nothing in that video equivalent to the vileness that has manifested itself at McCain/Palin events.

Considering the figurative middle finger that Bush and his corporate cronies have been giving to the American people for almost 8 years, I don't think liberals doing it literally to a bunch of McCain supporters is that big of a deal.

Now for something really scary:

I just think it's funny watching a bunch of white New Yorkers acting like hooligans over someone they disagree with. Reminds me a little of this place.

I reside in the legislative district Jeffrey M. Frederick calls home (if there's any good to his becoming Virginia GOP head, it's that he has announced he won't run for re-election in 2009 due to time constraints). I can tell you from personal experience that he's nothing but your garden variety right-wing punk -- and since he's in his mid-30s, "punk" is the proper adjective to use to describe him. The anti-immigration yahooism that played so well in Prince William County has been exposed as the sham it is, and the county is getting bluer.

You're very brave, MatthewM, to speak up for all your poor, beleaguered bretheren, right here in the lion's den of liberal meanies.

And now we're gonna beat you up. Booga booga!
