While those comments are atrocious and appalling -- I'd believed and hoped, until the McCain Hate & Chaos Express came along - that Americans were better than that.

Certainaly McCain should have fired this gentleman.

However, why should McCain stop there. I want Sarah Palin removed from the campaign, if not charged, for inciting rally crowds to hatred and violence against Barack Obama, a US Senator and Presidential candidate.

The woman is unqualified, to say the least; the legislative investigation concluded power abuse but she denied it even after the findings were released and alleges that she exonerated herself; her husband who should not be involved in her administration was getting paid as a staff member for providing child care to his own children and, in his off duty hours apparently, acting as her thug; we also have his prior (& allegedly her prior) membership in the radical anti-American AIP group; and with all these dubious recommendations for her, the best she can do as a candidate is inappropriately sexualize her candidacy, thereby cheapening the very office she runs for, and rabble-rouse her rally attendees against Obama.

Palin is exploiting and elevating an undercurrent -- underbelly -- of hate and violence in this country. Her tactics are worse than negative, they are dangerous. It cannot be within the bounds of the law to endanger a US Senator and his family . She should be removed from this campaigh.
