McCain/Palin Crowds Lately Have Been Nothing Short of Disturbing - Hopefully Waukesha Doesn’t Stoop to the Same Level of Depravity Tomorrow
Is this what we can expect from McCain supporters in Waukesha tomorrow morning? I sure hope not.
As seen at recent McCain events, this afternoon’s crowd was vocal in their support for McCain and their anger with Senator Obama. At one point one man could be heard yelling, “Off with his head,” when McCain spoke about Obama’s tax plan.
Hopefully the crowd here in Wisconsin won’t stoop to the level of depravity being showcased in other McCain/Palin appearances over the past week where racial slurs and shouts of “kill him” and “terrorist” were the norm.
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and son Carter.

Seriously they haven’t had audiences they’ve had mobs… Pretty sad.

Disgusting!
I have no other response to this hate rally. For a county rolling in money, you would think the people would be more informed on the issues of the day. All I saw was alot of fear and hate mongering. Oh… and not one black person. The plant from the Milwaukee radio station does not count.
I was born and raised in Waukesha. I spent 28 years of my life there. I moved to NJ in 1978. Thank God. The hate and racism I now see coming from all those so called good Christians make me want to vomit. McCain and Palin are promoting fear. The braindead residents of Waukesha are buying it.
What I have seen in my life out there was racism. I saw a black family try to move into this Christian town only to have the residents gang up on them. Don’t want those home values going down now, do we?
I saw a small black child riding a bike in a suburb. He was visiting a family. Do you know cars actually pulled to the side of the road to watch him…like a freak show?
But these wonderful Christins do manage to go to church every Sunday. They see nothing wrong with promoting hate and racism. So typical of Bush lovers.
This city and county is an embarassment for all of America.
By the way, my relatives still live there. I call them the bubble people. Can you imagine? 60,000 people all living in the Bush bubble.
It is people like this who got us into this mess to begin with.

Pat,
Thanks for smearing and traducing all the citizens of Waukesha. I’d wager your Waukesha relatives are more open-minded and accepting than you.
