[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 421667, member: 17969"] TRPK, isnt that my message?? [B]A lesson for us ALL[/B]. Myself included. I dont live in penns, and I hear this type of speech all day long. I believe you are missing the bigger point to my post. The point I am trying to make is this: Propaganda hurts people. Its clear from many of the comments heard in this video, that the "scaremail" they all recieved, along with the confirmations of right wing TV and radio convinced these "type" of people to stand up for hate. Rather than taking advantage over their "right" to assemble freely and support their candidate based upon the platform that candidate promotes, they "chose" to stand in public and berate another candidate with propaganda driven nonsense they either read or heard. This is the problem. Show me one video or report where OBAMA supporters have done anything close to this? I would post one if I could find one. The closest thing I can find, is the two gay men in west hollywood who hung sarah palin in effigy for halloween, but not because she is a running mate of John McCain, but rather because shes endorsed prop 8 here in my state. Prop 8 is an anti-gay marriage proposition. One poster on this board claimed that the dems in there state would riot and cause trouble win or lose, yet, it appears that the republicans are set to do the same to a larger extend if OBAMA wins. Talking about assassinations does not a true american make. Regardless, hate speech should never be a part of american politics. We should take a look at these people in the video and ask ourselves if "we" are getting closer to sounding like them or distancing ourselves from the rhetoric. I for one am choosing to normalize my posts. There is only a few days left. I think we can tone it down collectively to avoid sounding like the people in the video, or we can keep on posting the rhetoric given to us by the political machines. [/QUOTE]
