A Pro-McCain March In Manhattan
Notice at 1:08 the nice gestures. It is amazing that you can't even march in a city without being assaulted by other supporters. This must be the Obama supporters and their "no negative ads" and "let's not divide the nation" right?

Now there's some real patriots there. The future is here and any regressives who don't like it can move to Iran.

Do you really want to start this argument? I'm not saying what the bystanders did was O.K, yes it they shouldn't have done that. However I'm also sure that there were probably bystanders clapping the march on. Don't try and make this seem like a one sided thing, if I held a pro Obama march in a heavily conservative area there would probably be much worse then a couple middle fingers and some boos. There is a growing animosity towards Obama at McCain/Palin rallies. Is it alright to scream terrorist?
Stop trying to make it seem like Obama supporters are the only ones to blame, and the only ones "Dividing the nation".

Huh?

First, if you watch the video 95% of the people are yelling hateful things and pointing their middle finger. Let's not pretend that there is some equal support to the negatives in the video.
Second, show me a video of some Pro-Obama supporters getting hassled. I always have to hear opinion that things would happen, but as usual no proof at all. Unless you can show me proof, you can't say that Obama supporters would get hassled. You are assuming.
So, 1-2 guys scream out "Obama is a terrorist" at a McCain rally. Much different than the video I Just showed. Maybe Obama supporters should stop preaching that McCain ads are negative and Obama is some how going to bring the nation together. The Obama supporters in the video I just showed are in no way tolerant or for freedom of speech, but will be the first to complain that Bush runs a dictatorship. :)

When one person at a McCain rally yelled terrorist about Obama it was news. This is an extended walk through a city. The majority of people are heckling, booing, and flipping off the McCain supporters. IMO, If the roles were reversed and a southern town did that to a march for Obama, it would be national headlines and people would be talking about the racist, redneck, republicans. But because it is New York and against McCain, it isn't a big deal.

When you go rallying in hostile territory, you should expect to be heckled. Why do you think there are no McCain rallies in Harlem and no Obama rallies in Mississippi?
And I have to assume these people did so specifically for the purpose of having footage they could use to smear their opponents.

wow, so a major american city is hostile territory for an american candidate. That speaks volumes.
We aren't talking about marching in a small town or a small pocket of people. We are talking about a major city.

You say that as if you think I should care. As if that's not true for MANY major American cities. Washington DC, the freakin' capitol of the country, routinely votes around 80% Democratic. I guess if that makes Republicans uncomfortable, they could always leave the city. :)

Mike, are you really trying to make generalizations about an entire population off a small sample of idiots in a video?

Mike, I’m not debating the amount of negativity in the video. However lets look at what the video is. It is made to cast democrats in a bad light by showing all the things they did and say at the march. The video is also edited and probably doesn't show the whole story. No clip in that video is longer then 10-15 seconds without switching to a new clip. Once again, I'm not denying that people flipped them off and booed but there is a reason why it is edited.
Yes, Iam assuming. What I do know is the type of things that have been said at McCain/Palin rallies. Things like "Terrorist" and "Kill Him". One guy got really classy the other day and brought a monkey with an Obama sticker.
So, 1-2 guys scream out "Obama is a terrorist" at a McCain rally. Much different than the video I Just showed. [/QUOTE]
It has been more than 1-2 guys also that's not counting the people the cheered afterwards, and its been getting progressively worse. You are right it is much different then the video you showed, however in my opinion it is no better.
And you are going to call me out for assuming something? Here is a post from you in a different topic
Should I hack into the state database and illegally see what he is registered as? Or should I read what is public information and make an assumption? I'll go with part B. :)
Well Michael, public information says that at McCain/Palin rallies there has been increasing hatred towards Obama. Should I just take your word that If I went there with an Obama T-Shirt, stickers, a bullhorn, and stood outside I wouldn't be harassed? Or should I read what is public information and make an assumption? I'll go with part B.

We aren't talking about marching in a small town or a small pocket of people. We are talking about a major city.
Actually neighborhoods of big cities do make a difference. Parts of certain cities are much more liberal than others. Upper West side where these guys decided to March is very very liberal. They chose that section for a reason. It doesn't make it right but a matter of miles does make a difference.
