Anybody watching cnn? Gergen, Rollins and Begala, nothing good about McCain
from any of them including Rollins who also think the gop will lose 10 senate seats.

Gergen thinks McCain rallies could lead to violence.

6. Hearing Gergen say that was pretty scary, we've been saying it but at least we
know us, KO and Maddow aren't the only ones seeing the scary.

11. In another thread I urge everyone to write and call their Congress people
and demand that Congress CENSURE McCain. I KNOW there have to be Senate Rules and Ethics that preclude them calling another sitting Senator someone whose career, "Began with two washed up unrepentent domestic terrorists" as McCain said to Gibson today alone..

Censure him, let the Republicans refuse to go along and hang them with their own rope..

12. Here's hoping McCain's base starts something serious
I don't think we're ever going to get rid of the Limpballs/Hannity mod peacefully, so IMO, the sooner the better.

15. This is what I've been saying about Gergen
He brings up the racial issues because he has an awareness of this from being from the South. I have heard him say that and this type of group hatred probably brings back memories of that. It is really scary.

2. last night, Gergen was saying "We should credit McCain for not mentioning Ayers today"
He always wants to believe the best in McCain...give it up, Gergen. He's a scumbag!

7. The corporatemedia has a huge responsibility
now and they have to step up even more on this before it gets outta of control and they could have stopped it.

I think there are precidents to recall.

I got these two quotes off of dailykos via DU and starlightnews..
This is what needs to done.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/9/204719/724/789/625685
"Needless to say, this is a huge story, folks. We need to jump on this story fast and strong as an antidote to the Palin demagoguery that has crossed the lines of racism and hate mongering.


http://www.starlightnews.com
"Meanwhile, it is time to start using the term “demagogue” to describe McPalin, and compare their rallies to Nazi rallies, for that is what they are doing, whipping up people to hatred and possibly violence. This is the McCain version of Country First."

10. The SS and FBI do too. And the Senate.
There have been overt threats against Obama and the media at these rallies. It's time for the SS and FBI to make a joint statement saying that they will take threats seriously and prosecute all credible threats to the fullest extent of the law. Including those against any candidate, their supporters or the media.

It's also time for moderate Republican "leaders" to stand up and make some strong statements. If this doesn't get nipped in the bud, it will be open season on Obama supporters. And the rabid right will rationalize that it was their patriotic duty to save the country from the traitors.

The Senate should censure McCain for implying that one of his fellow senators is a terrorist and traitor. It is beneath the dignity of a sitting senator, no matter what the circumstances, to make these claims against a fellow senator.

8. IS Rollins an UNDERCOVER Repuke or is he OUT?
Rollins kept saying "WE" will lose 10 seats. Then he cleaned it up after saying 3 times and then started saying the Repukes??

I don't watch CNN enough to know which side of the Fence Rollins is On

9. Rollins is an old school repub and was a Reagan adviser and his 1984 campaign chief.
he's mostly a dick but can be truthful.

18. He was Huckabee's campaign manager. He wants another chance in 2012, believe me.
He is terrified that what McCain is doing will cause Republicans to lose even more House and Senate seats than normal
because it is turning off everyone but the GOP base.

17. Gergen introduced the race factor in disagreeing with Rollins that it'd be an Obama landslide.
Second night in a row... I wonder if Gergen will keep reminding viewers of Obama's skin color for another 26 days?
