Not typical of most Ohioans, of course, but disturbing nonetheless.

How interesting that the self-admitted racist, who also appears to be an anti-Semite, parroted John McCain's message about media bias. I just find it interesting that John McCain's and Sarah Palin's hate is now leading to not just threats against Obama's life, but what could be described as hate crimes against Jews. Then again, John McCain and Sarah Palin have a very troubling record of ties to anti-Semitism....

I think it is time for the FBI to be called in to investigate the McCain campaign for promoting racial hatred and contributing to an environment that is sure to produce a physical attack on Barack Obama or members of his campaign staff. There are incidents like this one in Ohio being reported all over the country and it is NOT happening in a vacuum. It is being fed and nurtured by John McCain and Sarah...

Yes, Senator McCain and Governor Palin -- this is what you have wrought. This is your campaign. This is your leadership at work. The man who did this is one of YOUR people. YOU have to answer for him. And if any of these nutballs is inspired to harm a hair on Barack Obama's head because YOUR campaign tactics are leading him to believe it would be OK, his blood will be on YOUR hands. Oh, and the rest...

I just posted to DetNews in a narrative form about how I'm sick of false equivalency. But I also want to archive the links here, for posterity. I collected these in about a week and it's stunning to see them all together. It's like an extraordinarily ugly picture puzzle of fear, loathing and bigotry. The Asphyxiation banner .

I'm no fan of Sarah Palin for reasons I've made clear. Pero, making light of the idea of physically attacking Palin is not any more acceptable (or it shouldn't be anyway) than inciting or referencing physical attacks on Barack Obama....
