McLoser practically booed off stage -- by *his own supporters*!!
I don't know whether to laugh, cry or have kittens...

LAKEVILLE, Minn. - The anger is getting raw at Republican rallies and John McCain is acting to tamp it down. McCain was booed by his own supporters Friday when, in an abrupt switch from raising questions about Barack Obama's character, he described the Democrat as a "decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States."

A sense of grievance spilling into rage has gripped some GOP events this week as McCain supporters see his presidential campaign lag against Obama. Some in the audience are making it personal, against the Democrat. Shouts of "traitor," "terrorist," "treason," "liar," and even "off with his head" have rung from the crowd at McCain and Sarah Palin rallies, and gone unchallenged by them.

McCain changed his tone Friday when supporters at a town hall pressed him to be rougher on Obama. A voter said, "The people here in Minnesota want to see a real fight." Another said Obama would lead the U.S. into socialism. Another said he did not want his unborn child raised in a country led by Obama.

"If you want a fight, we will fight," McCain said. "But we will be respectful. I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments." When people booed, he cut them off.


Wait a minute. "Another said he did not want his unborn child raised in a country led by Obama"? There's a guy in Lakeville, Minn. who's pregnant?! Stop the presses!! :sarcasm:

3. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
And I same so embarrassed that there are so many mouth-breathing knuckledraggers in a Minneapolis suburb. Lakeville is full of mortgaged-to-the-hilt McMansions owned by middle-class people who are getting pounded in the ass by the Bush economy, and apparently they are fine with that, as long as they get their imaginary piece of Nanookie of the North.

:puke:

4. I hope that dickface realizes he could have just endangered our future President's life.
McCain filled his clueless supporters will hate. And now he tries to bring it back to being respectful and gets booed.

This is one of the saddest things I've seen in a presidential election.
