I wonder how much of a role Karl Rove had in the debate preparation for mcsame.

The GOP supporters actually believe their own fairytales. Whatever is in that koolaid, its pretty potent.

You dont have to issue a direct racist statement to make a racist attack. Just like you dont have to directly say that sadam and al qaeda are directly linked to get (highly-suggestible) people to spontaneously internalize and think it. You just have to use suggestive marketing techniques and constant repetition of the ideas in a strategic sequence and context. This is the GOP's racist attcks to which I refer. If you think the racist violent remarks from the crowds ("Sit down boy!", "Hang him!", "Bomb Obama!") are some sort of unexpected artifact that just spontaneously erupted from nowhere....youre delusional. There is probably nothing more strategized, scripted and message-managed than a US pres campaign. To the mcsame planners, these racist reactions are deliberate. They are planned. They are desired.
I suppose you would claim that limbaugh is just a side show act, marginal little GOP supportee.....spouting his own private backward racist diatribe. But he has an enormous audience of suggestible ill-informed robots and has shown himself historically to want to deliver his audience votes to particular candidates. Hardly just a supporter. But according to your view that the poor GOP is so innocent, I should perhaps wait for mcsame to jump up to denounce limbaugh's disgusting racist attacks that were uttered on behalf of mcsame. Something tells me i would be waiting a long time for that.

Its open knowledge the GOP is in complete disarray now and the only thing they can do is spew racist hatred out into thir audience and hope it sticks in their tiny heads. Shamefully (for the US) a lot of it seems to stick, particularly at the palin rallies - well documented racist reactions in the audience is easy to find on google etc.
Todays racist act of GOP desperation is limbaugh claiming that angry black have been in a 30 year plot to train black children as militants

Kinda irrelevant.....but I'll spell it out for ya anyway...Frank and Raines are not reasons they did that. It was out of personal disgust for dubya and the low standards he represents.

You can be sure that there is no "lack of supervision" in a US presidential campaign. The ugliness and negativity you are seeing from the McSame side is carefully considered and implemented by teams of eggheads, including rove.

For what is worth, the population of planet earth overwhelmingly wants Obama to win according to The Economist's Global Electoral College project. The only red country is Georgia.....lol
I guess due to McSame's idiotic pronouncement that "We are all Georgians now...." Yeah right.

The point being your factoid shows really nothing important to the typical US voter, obviously so. That it was trumpeted on "newsbusters" makes it completely silly.

ACORN is such a non-issue....its just being misrepresented and distorted and trumpeted by oreilly and limbaugh and the other GOP hotair machines. There was even an attempt to blame the wallstreet credit debacle on them as if they were somehow a singlar force that armtwisted the poor, powerless, ever-diligent banks to offer unwise mortages.
