It's getting ugly

So, you know that negative campaigning Mac told us he would be no part of way back when? Well, things have taken a turn for the worse ever since his pitbull of a running mate, God bless her, began whining about the press and the media, for, you know, doing their jobs and all.

Gov. Palin told a crowd of 8,000 fans at a rally Monday afternoon that Barack Obama "launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist! This is not a man who sees America the way you and I see America," she told the Clearwater crowd. "I'm afraid this is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to work with a former domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country." The crowd replied with boos.

Anyhoo, when reporters first began to arrive to the Clearwater rally, they were greeted with shouts and taunts by a crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions (that "gotcha" media, 'member?) for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." The Washington Post reports that Palin supporters then 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."

It doesn't end here, at the same event, Palin tried to link Obama to the 1960s Weather Underground.

"One of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers," she said to a crowd who yelled "Boooo!" She went on to say, "And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, 'launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol." The crowd continued to yell "Boooo!"

"Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience.

Disturbed, yet? Horrified? Uhh, disgusted? No.. how about

 repulsed? Well, I'm all of the above as well as shocked, though mostly due to Palin citing a newspaper, I wasn't aware she read those.

We're less than a month away, folks! Please, go register to vote if you haven't passed the deadline in your state.

Fearmongering

As I'm sure ya'll heard already, when GOP hopeful John McCain spoke before a crowd asking, "Who is the real Barack Obama?" he got a couple of hate-fueled yahoos to shout "Terrorist!"

Disappointing. But in all fairness, McCain looks either a) terrified at the answer or b) about to drop a deuce. Your call.

It just keeps getting better!

I remember the good ol' days when watching The View was considered lame. Now, it's all I can do until the next catfight hits the web. It's the best stuff out there right now! If John McCain needs another gimmicky woman as his running mate when he runs again in 2012, he'd be hard pressed to find anyone better than Hasselbeck.

For your viewing pleasure:

Hasselbeck thinks Obama is a radical

Ohhh, you gotta love her. In fact, I give this woman props. She stands up and fights no matter how many ladies are jumping down her throat. However, what she's fighting for is usually inaccurate, asinine and downright ridiculous. But she's an obstinate one. Check out the latest catfight on yesterday's episode of The View.

Ifill: There was nothing I could do

Moderator of last week's vice presidential debate, Gwen Ifill had a little powwow with Tom Brokaw, David Gregory and Co. to discuss everyone's favorite hockey mom and her performance in last week's debate.

Ifill also defends her decision not to respond to right-wings lambasting her for writing a book that they believed was about Sen. Obama, but rather, is about the turn politics has taken in the last few years with particular regard to African Americans. Check it out below.

Brian Williams on the VP debate

NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams sat down with David Letterman to discuss Gov. Palin and Sen. Biden's debate performance last Thursday night. The interview served as a nice reminder that there are some good journalists left out there, as well as your run-of-the-mill angry and bitter late-night TV hosts. Letterman, still hung up on John McCain standing him up, took every opportunity and more to bash the Alaskan governor and her maverick counterpart while Williams kept on his objective journalist hat.

"I can't correct you because I have no opinions," Williams said. Ahh, neutrality is so refreshing these days.
