At another rally, reportedly when McCain was in his speech, saying what should we do with Obama, someone yelled: "Kill him!"

Washington Post also reports this:

Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."

Add that with the "Terrorist" and "Kill'em!" shout-outs....

Is this how McCain wants to be remembered? He wants to be the new George Wallace?

Really, you could tell from that "Terrorist!" shout-out how disturbed he was by it, and yet he did nothing else. Why couldn't he have simply stopped his well-rehearsed speech, and ask people to not say such things. Yes it would come out as hypocritical considering his VP's attack platform, but still.

But Johnny, that was a moment you could have asserted some leadership on the spur of a moment. You could have hit a double, instead you struck out.

Then again, aint that the story of the McCain campaign?
