I'm surprised the McCain camp hasn't made a bigger deal of Jeremiah Wright.

Because they don't want to get into a racist debate with the votes. Don't forget there are my many GOP members that are black and Latino’s and not to scare off their vote to Obama.

Fascinating development today, and I give McCain a little credit for it: he dared to tell a crowd, right up against their own strenuous objection, that while he believes he'd be a vastly better President than Obama, that he also believes Obama to be fundamentally decent and that the nation need not be terrified of an Obama Presidency.

McCain can be a bit tone deaf emotionally, and he might have said this earlier, because any clips I see of his rallies show crowds that keep turning uglier and uglier in their flat hatred of Obama.  I think this just goes to show that we keep claiming "Woe is us, that we have to put up with all these negative ads" -- when the fact is that untold millions of us just can't seem to get enough of them, or the so-called "red meat" of some gut-slashing alleged duel of good versus evil.

McCain has got to be feeling conflicted in all kinds of ways.  We're in a crisis that does not neatly fit his Bushie economic dogma.  He must be aware on some inner level on how he has allowed himself to become a wholly different McCain from the one we could respect up until circa 2004.  And he can probably see the writing on the wall, and has got to be thinking "Once all this is done, there's got to be immediate peace, this hate can't keep galloping along on its own momentum."

McCain may even be realizing that there are plenty of psycho idiots who would assassinate Obama just on "principle," and that he's got to say something for the record casting him light-years distant from that sort of attitude.

I thank him for it -- cynically, with a proverbial tablespoon of salt, but I thank him.

McCain booed after trying to calm anti-Obama crowd
By PHILIP ELLIOTT and BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writers
14 minutes ago
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 [censored] 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.

"I don't mean that has to reduce your ferocity," he said. "I just mean to say you have to be respectful."

Presidential candidates are accustomed to raucous rallies this close to Election Day and welcome the enthusiasm. But they are also traditionally monitors of sorts from the stage. Part of their job is to leaven proceedings if tempers run ragged and to rein in an out-of-bounds comment from the crowd.

Not so much this week, at GOP rallies in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida and other states.

When a visibly angry McCain supporter in Waukesha, Wis., on Thursday told the candidate "I'm really mad" because of "socialists taking over the country," McCain stoked the sentiment. "I think I got the message," he said. "The gentleman is right." He went on to talk about Democrats in control of Congress.

On Friday, McCain rejected the bait.

"I don't trust Obama," a woman said. "I have read about him. He's an Arab."

McCain shook his head in disagreement, and said:

"No, ma'am. He's a decent, family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with (him) on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign is all about."

He had drawn boos with his comment: "I have to tell you, he is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States."

The anti-Obama taunts and jeers are noticeably louder when McCain appears with Palin, a big draw for GOP social conservatives. She accused Obama this week of "palling around with terrorists" because of his past, loose association with a 1960s radical. If less directly, McCain, too, has sought to exploit Obama's Chicago neighborhood ties to William Ayers, while trying simultaneously to steer voters' attention to his plans for the financial crisis.

The Alaska governor did not campaign with McCain on Friday, and his rally in La Crosse, Wis., earlier Friday was much more subdued than those when the two campaigned together. Still, one woman shouted "traitor" when McCain told voters Obama would raise their taxes.

Volunteers worked up chants from the crowd of "U.S.A." and "John McCain, John McCain," in an apparent attempt to drown out boos and other displays of negative energy.

The Secret Service confirmed Friday that it had investigated an episode reported in The Washington Post in which someone in Palin's crowd in Clearwater, Fla., shouted "kill him," on Monday, meaning Obama. There was "no indication that there was anything directed at Obama," Secret Service spokesman Eric Zahren told AP. "We looked into it because we always operate in an atmosphere of an abundance of caution."

Palin, at a fundraiser in Ohio on Friday, told supporters "it's not negative and it's not mean-spirited" to scrutinize Obama's iffy associations.

But Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania an author of 15 books on politics, says the vitriol has been encouraged by inflammatory words from the stage.

"Red-meat rhetoric elicits emotional responses in those already disposed by ads using words such as 'dangerous' 'dishonorable' and 'risky' to believe that the country would be endangered by election of the opposing candidate," she said.

This could get very messy, very quickly.

Why make a big deal of such a non-issue? And if he makes the mistake of talking about Wright, Obama will counter with John Hagee. Besides, the last thing we need now is "My (now-ex-)pastor is stupider than your (now-ex-)pastor".

OK, first it was the Japanese town named "Obama" cashing in on their American namesake, now this:

Portuguese Blog: "Obama Running for Office...in Brazil"

Local elections are rapidly approaching in Brazil. According to the Brazilian press, at least five candidates running in the local elections throughout the country are using the name "Barack Obama" in an effort to garner votes. The candidates, who are running for municipal positions, have registered their names as Obama on the ballots. The would-be Obamas include:

• Brazilian Epaminondas Obama, running for a seat outside of São Paulo
  
• Obama, a woman running in Rio de Janeiro state
  
• Davi, the Obama of the Community, running in Minas Gerais
  
• "Barak Obama," running in Paraná
  
• Alexandre Barack Obama, running in Petrolina
  
• Barack Obama of Belford Roxo, running in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro

Um, because that's what the Republican attack dogs are trained to do?

I saw that story. I think it's just very sad. These people make me ashamed of my country. You think after the civil rights movement, that this country has come forward a little since the 60's. I take great pride myself when I don't see color when I talk to somebody. It goes to show you that McCain rallies might as well give out white robes and hoods and burn a cross on stage. And it also shows you that "middle" America is caught in a time warp. I gave thought at one time to moving down south, but if most people are like that, I don't want to be associated with them.

When given the microphone, the man having a kid said that he was afraid to raise his kid with an Obama presidency. And some old bat was afraid because he's an arab. NONE of those people were anywhere near NYC when 9/11 happened. I love NY because people try their damndest to NOT be like those Joe sixpacks in rural America who may not see a non-white person for months at a time.

I just don't know why people don't mind being so misinformed and so blatantly racist (though they stop just short of saying it). I really fear for Barack's life if he gets elected.

McCain is reaping what he sowed. Inciting near violence in his own supporters with a slew of the misleading attack ads. At least he came out and tried to quell the crowd. I really think he needs to take out ads after the election to say that he condemns this behavior in a modern civilized society. I think his 26 year reputation is tarnished after this race, I will certainly remember it that way.

With the Bill Ayers thing, he did a charity fund raiser. Raised money and GAVE it away! Oh, and nobody really cares anyway, unless Bill Ayers has $1 trillion laying around somewhere.
