Where are you getting this? I never said this is a typical McCain supporter reaction. It's not. It's just the nutjobs that both parties have. Please don't put words in my mouth.

I wasn't aware that Palin is getting rape threats. That's truly disgusting. I still think you're missing my point though. It seems that all of these threats flying around aren't phasing you. Things have gotten really ugly. If you don't see it, fine.

Palin's getting rape threats and I wouldn't be surprised by death threats. People out there are nuts.

I have to say though, I don't think that McCain or Palin have really said anything themselves to incite this particular reaction.

I think the point in linking him to Ayers it to show how far left he is. Ayers is not a centrist kind of guy. But the nuts are taking it in a different direction when they hear terrorist.

I really don't think the Ayers stuff was supposed to be a code for this craziness. And I don't fault McCain or Palin for the ignorance of some of the people at their rallies.

See this is where we differ. Palin repeating the word "terrorist" at rallies in relation to Ayers has spawned the actions of the nutjobs. I don't believe for a second that the McCain camp didn't actually count on the fact that the loonies out there would start thinking that Obama was the terrorist.

I just think that's wreckless and that was the entire point of my original post. The link to the video showed McCain saying nothing in response to the person who shouted "terrorist." I give him credit for correcting people now though.
