Man At Palin Rally Displays Monkey Doll Donning Obama Sticker
Posted by Scott Conroy| 18





(CBS)From CBS News' Scott Conroy:

(PHILADELPHIA) As the crowd cheered at a Sarah Palin rally this morning in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a man in the audience grinned as he held up a stuffed monkey doll with a Barack Obama bumper sticker wrapped across its forehead.

The incident came at a time when McCain and Palin’s events have increasingly been fueled by angry crowds, since Palin began drawing a connection between Barack Obama and 1960s radical William Ayers, claiming that the Democratic nominee has a history of “palling around” with a terrorist.

At a rally in Lakeville, Minnesota, on Friday, McCain was booed after he called on his audience to be respectful of Obama. The Republican nominee took the microphone away from one woman who said she couldn’t trust Obama because “he’s an Arab.”

After Palin finished her remarks this morning, the man holding the stuffed monkey seemed to notice that a video camera was pointed at him, at which point he removed the Obama sticker from the doll’s head and crumpling it up in his hand. He then handed the doll to a young boy who was watching the rally from his father’s shoulders. The boy’s parents later told CBS News that they weren’t acquainted with the man who gave their son the stuffed monkey.

1. Guess the floods there didn't get them all... n/t

[Junkdrawer]

3. I'm from there. Everyone I grew up with who had half a brain left....

Guess who stayed? :think:

[BumRushDaShow]

12. That's what happened to one of my BILs who is from Ohio

He and his friends and many of his family left... and that just concentrated the bottom of the barrel who stayed. These types of folks made it difficult for everyone else around them and drove people away. :crazy:

[yardwork]

11. Monkey man looks and acts like people I've met in the south, too.

He's got that ugly smile on his nasty face while he's spreading hatred and death. The face of a person who would kill without a moment's compunction.

[skooooo]

2. At least the national media is exposing this...

Thanks, McCain and Palin. You're going to lose anyway.

[rateyes]

4. You sure that monkey wasn't that man's son?

It looked just like him.

[HughMoran]

5. I knew they couldn't resist their racist tendencies

...and that it would be the Republican party's undoing.

This is amazing - it's going exactly as I thought it would.

[smoogatz]

6. They're crawling out from under their rocks

with McCain's encouragement, of course. A disgusting display; I think the vast majority of Americans understand very clearly that the Republicans have got nothing to run on but old-school racism and hatred. I think we're going to see a blowout of historic proportions: people are shocked by this racist shit when they see it in person, and they understand that McCain has no plan and no agenda to run on.

[yardwork]

7. Gross. When he got caught on camera, he gave the stuffed monkey to a little boy to hold!

That right there sums up the cowardice of the right wing. They don't have the courage of their own convictions. They're perfectly happy to holler death threats from the safety of a mob, but let a camera catch their behavior and they run and hide.

Cockroaches.

[rvablue]

10. Yeah, "run and hide" and behind an innocent little boy, to boot! n/t

[Matariki]

8. He thinks Bush is supporting Obama?

that's funny.

[texanshatingbush]

9. That guy looks sorta like Karl Rove in a fat suit......

...Or does he look more like the spawn of Karl Rove and Jesse Helms? I can't decide.

Slime of the earth, and he doesn't even have the nerve to stand up for his convictions--only "brave" when he is anonymous.

Don't worry, pal, we got yer front side!

[spanone]

13. mccain appeals to the lowest common denominator

[Essene]

14. let's NOT hype up the racial aspect.... talk about hate, but avoid this race baiting...

there's a reason jackasses do stuff like that...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

18. We're getting sick of your "see no evil" bullshit.

[Forkboy]

19. Give it a fucking rest already.

:eyes:

[myrna minx]

20. YOU go ahead and ignore the racists, but I sure as hell won't.

:puke:

[crazy_vanilla]

22. oh, you know he knew exactly what he was doing

don't cut him slack ... this is bullshit

[Starry Messenger]

26. I hate to be rude...but quit kicking these up then.

Some of us want to keep tabs on the jackasses. For all others there is hide thread.

[ecstatic]

15. Looks like the guy has something to lose? Who is he

Hopefully we'll know his name (and business name?) soon. If you do something that stupid in public, then you should be ready to accept the fallout.

[goodgd_yall]

25. I was thinking that too

He either has a reputation to uphold or he's ashamed of his own self.

[City Lights]

16. The ugly UhmuriKKKan rears his head again.

This makes me so sad. :cry:

[BuyingThyme]

17. Republicans are spontaneously combusting all over the place.

[ClarkUSA]

21. Gee, I don't understand why John Lewis would condemn the atmosphere at McCain/Palin rallies.

:sarcasm:

[psychobueller]

23. WOW! I don't even....

know what to say. What a sad fat sack of shit. He must have really puckered up when he realized he was on camera.

[goodgd_yall]

24. Interesting

how instead of flaunting his "message," he hid it. He's an embarrassment to his own self.

[BeyondGeography]

27. Gutless...gets nailed and tries to get cuteness points

:eyes:

[quakerboy]

28. and that video

and the man in it exemplify the whole Rightwing movement, quite nicely.

[Frank Booth]

29. I wouldn't want this guy anywhere near my kids.

Between those bottle cap glasses and that creepy smile, he really fits the profile.

[TooRaLoo]

30. What a coward!

Give your symbol of hate to a KID.
