<< The McCain campaign is defending crowd members at its recent rallies who have called Obama a terrorist, accused him of treason and even screamed "kill him" when his association with former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers has been broached. >>

I know Obama would hope to see a more measured response from a supporter, but this latest McCain outrage is so off the chart that even calling him a punk, as I do in the caption, seems mild, restrained. Anyone who's seen the videos in the last couple days of these rabid wingnuts spewing hate at Obama knows why even a conservative guy like David Gergen's been moved to warn of the real possibility of imminent violence.
<< "One of the most striking things we've seen in the last few days, we have seen it at the Palin rallies and we saw it at the McCain rally today," said David Gergen, appearing on Anderson Cooper 360 Thursday evening. "And we saw it to a considerable degree during the rescue package legislation. There is a free-floating sort of whipping-around anger that could really lead to some violence. And I think we're not far from that." >>

Not to mention the additional, unnecessary burden Wreckless John's acquiescence in and tacit encouragement of this hate speech and rage directed at Obama must be placing on the Secret Service.
Calling McCain a punk let's him off easy; a lesser man might be calling him a punk-ass motherfu**er.
