Yet another questionable action by McCain
As voters, we can load up on all the political finger pointing we like but we all know those arguments can be made pro or con at will. Actions do speak louder than words, or statistics, and there is no excuse for Mr. McCain’s attempt to defend the people at the McCain/Palin rally who were shouting suggestions re: death to Obama. I did not hear the original event and had only hoped that it was a bitter rumor. After hearing McCain defend it last night during the 3rd Debate, my ire rose. First, it is nothing more than sociopathic behavior to make such a comment. If any of us, today, made such a comment about George W. or myriad other prominent people, we would be carted off to jail. Second, if the perpetrators were indeed veterans, as Mr. McCain suggested, then he should not be excusing the behavior but referring those veterans for counseling services through the VA. In any respect, it is unacceptable and should never be condoned by someone who thinks he has the capacity to seek placement in our Nation’s highest office. He is obviously not qualified for the command of this country as he apparently lacks the good judgment and intelligence necessary to truly understand our complex issues. Regardless of any past history or records, all of which are subjective and skewed on both sides, and, could be squabbling points to no end, current performance demonstrates that McCain would not be a capable President. We need more intellect and stability than he is able to offer. Our highest office needs the stability and intellect exhibited by Senator Obama.

Your post is untrue and very misleading. If you had listened to Senator McCain's entire response, you would have heard him say that the veterans, along with all of the other Americans that have attended his speeches are respectable people and he cares deeply for them. THEN he referenced the few "fringe" people that may have made horrendous remarks and he vehemently chastised them and said that they were deplorable and he didn't agree with them. He also remarked that Obama has had some fanatics at his rallies that have shouted similar rants aimed at himself and Palin and he wasn't going to hold Obama responsible for the actions of those individuals.
Before going off on a tirade, you should check your facts and listen to both sides of the story. I'll bet that you cheered Obama on though when he said, repeatedly, that 100% of McCain's ads are negative--even NBC analysts called Obama out on that lie...
