GOP rep says Palin should stop
By ANDY BARR | 10/10/08 2:54 PM EDT
Text Size:

Republican Rep. Ray LaHood of Illinois said Friday that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin should cool her rhetoric directed at Barack Obama.

“This doesn't befit the office that she's running for. And frankly, people don't like it,” LaHood said during an interview on WBBM, a Chicago radio station.

Palin has accused Obama of “palling around with terrorists” and of putting “political ambitions in front of doing what's right for our troops.”

As Palin and running mate John McCain have upped the level of attack against Obama, the crowd at their rallies have grown increasingly angry toward the Illinois senator. In recent days, shouts of “terrorist” and “traitor” have come from the crowd when McCain has mentioned Obama’s name.

LaHood criticized the attacks against Obama, which he said “certainly don't reflect the character of the man.”

The Illinois Republican, who announced last year that he will retire at the end of this term, has endorsed McCain.

Its actually smart that McCain is campaigning in IA, WI and PA. Hes down in the electoral lead even if he wins FL, NC and VA so his best chance for victory is to turn one of IA, PA and hope and pray none of the red states turn or WI. In fact its the only chance he has for victory.

Ulysses:

To think but 4 months ago I really wanted to vote for John McCain. Shows how much the universe can change... because when I read this today, I thought "Even a guy like me, who has voted Republican as many times as Democrat, feels with total disgust and disappointment that this piece pretty much sums up exactly how I feel about my ex-hero, John McCain."

Time to Ask McCain: "Have You Have No Sense of Decency Left?"
Bob Shrum, Oct. 10 2008

The McCain campaign crossed the line today from negative character attacks to the kind of character assassination that plays to the basest impulses and incites the most dangerous reaction. We've seen the prelude this week in the McCain crowds and in Sarah Palin's well-rehearsed, carefully telepromptered and increasingly ugly diatribes. But the intent became undeniable with the new McCain ad that falsely charges that "Obama worked with terrorist William Ayers when it was convenient"--which all but alleges that the candidate was there planting bombs.

McCain had to back off and almost apologize at an event in Minnesota when a questioner in his crowd alleged that Obama was "an Arab." McCain meekly had to explain, over the evident unrest of his supporters, that Obama wasn't dangerous.

But who was responsible for leaving people to think that he was dangerous in the first place? The McCain campaign grab-bag of tarnished tactics has trafficked in soft hate and hard fears about "the other." It has been said that everything in America ultimately comes back to race. But with Republican campaigns in trouble, starting with Barry Goldwater and continuing with Nixon's "southern strategy" in 1968, it really always does come back to race.

The McCain forces have taken this to a new low; there is no way to deny the deliberate, conscious attempt to portray Obama as unAmerican; not "one of us" as Pat Buchanan said tonight on "Hardball"; someone "who doesn't see America as we do," in the venomous patois of Palin.

In all decency, it is at least worth mentioning, even as we note that Obama is not an Arab or a Moslem, that there is something profoundly unAmerican about denigrating all Arabs or all Moslems as suspect or evil. Or, for that matter, something profoundly unAmerican about playing to the old prejudices that many assumed would prevent any African-American from ever becoming President in their lifetimes. The appeal to intolerance is amplified by commentators like Buchanan and William Kristol, who urge the McCain campaign to pound away at Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. They have a list of names they want McCain to flourish and a wave of innuendos they want McCain to raise. Joe McCarthy would recognize this; it's the smear technique that he virtually patented. To borrow a phrase from that period, a phrase that shattered his reign of intimidation, maybe we ought to ask the McCain forces, the candidate and his supporting commentariat, "Have you no sense of decency left at all?"

I don't think McCain does.

And in effect he is sending a message to voters that he has no chance at all of winning if the campaign is waged on great issues like the economy. So as things get more serious in a deeply troubled America, the McCain campaign gets more frivolous. The campaign manager, Rick Davis, says the financial crash is for CNBC to discuss every day, not for the candidates. Instead, we hear about Ayers, ACORN (conveniently, a "community organization" that helps poor, and in many cases, black families) --and, of course, Obama's middle name. How much of his vaunted courage would it take for McCain to publicly rebuke, on the spot, any supporter who rolls out the name "Hussein" as an epithet that connects Obama to you-know-who?

The reality is that in a country facing two wars and a mounting economic crisis, these desparate and despicable appeals aren't working. Obama's lead is mounting, nationally and in the battleground states. But there is a threat here too that is all too real. When I heard someone in a Palin crowd yell out "traitor" as the candidate lashed out at the Democratic nominee, I thought of the full-page ad that appeared in a Dallas newspaper on the morning of Nov. 22, 1963. The headline--"Wanted for Treason"-- was sprawled across a poster-sized photo of President John F. Kennedy.

You don't put country first by running this kind of campaign.

@Dave: The game is over. Palin's abuse of power is the final nail in the McCain/Palin coffin. McCain needs to work really, really hard to protect his image/legacy at this point. He should fire his entire campaign staff and go back to straight talk again. Just come right out and tell us all the truth, and for goodness sakes he's gotta stop the hate mongering. I think really he's already started down this path when he told his supporters today that they shouldn't be afraid to have Obama as a president.

Doesn't this go against about 90% of his attack ads. In these he states that people should be afraid of Obama as President?

Man-O-Man...all Obama needs to do is run 15 second snippets of this statement everywhere that McCain is running his attack ads.

It'll not only deflate the wingnut right wingers but will utterly confuse anyone that was going to support McCain because of the hit ads.

When is over really over?

Perhaps when Chris Buckley of National Review, lifelong republican, son of conservatism's greatest spokesman of the 20th Century, William F Buckley switches his endorsement from McCain to Obama, calls McCain out on his total loss of authenticity, his mindless VP pick, and his recent "bring the torches and pitchforks" hatefests, and even state that Obama, being smart, of steady temperment may become a good or even a great leader.

I made me realize how much I actually enjoyed watching his dad at times, because he actually respected the intellect rather than condemning it as a simply a means for hoodwinking and bamboozling the Joe Sixpack's of the world.

Looks like Republicans with a conscience or a moderate reputation to uphold are distancing themselves from McCain, and who knows how many are expressing their displeasure behind the scenes. I'm gratified that McCain is starting to realize that he's unleashed a torrent of hate and that it threatens to take on a life of its own; that's very dangerous and, as we saw with Prime Minister Rabin, can yield tragic results. Given that Obama already has already faced death threats it can only increase the likelihood that some nutcase will take this into his/her own hands. Palin seems to be positively gleeful in spewing this hate and feeding off the bloodthirsty crowd; McCain has a long senate career and a "War Hero/POW" franchise/reputation to protect from sinking into the muck; now he's finally acted. I don't trust his motives one bit at this point but I am thankful that he's showing restraint when it's needed.

____________________

cinnamonape:

I have a question. For the early voters it has two columns -One that says "Actually Voted" (9%) and the other that says "Likely Voter" (91%). Does this mean that 9% of the individuals say they already have voted early...and the remaining 91% are intending to?

It's a bit confusing. But if the LV represents people who say they intend to vote, but haven't that still means that Obama has the votes with the surplus "banked" while the remainder may be able to be convinced, or may lose interest in the race.

____________________

tjampel:

Looks like those who actually voted early support Obama disproportionately to those who haven't. I've seen some stats a while back that showed that AA's in GA tend to vote early (perhaps because facilities for same day voting aren't the best in GA).

Of course I hope that every early voter is white, 70 yrs old and from NW GA.

In any event I've been following GA Pres. polling all year and it's been really interesting to see how things got very close for a while over the summer, repositioned back to expected levels when McCain/Palin brought in the base, and have now coalesced back to mid to high single digits once again.

I'm looking forward to Nov 4th to see how it all shakes out in GA, but, let's face it; getting the necessary 30% of the white vote (even with AA's at historic levels) in GA may be an impossibility, even with McCain's campaign not-so-slowly imploding.

Hey folks : Have you noticed something? The GOPERS have disappeared. McCain had to admit today when he was confronted by one of his more rabid supporters that Obama was not a traitor. He looked scared. I think he is an honorable man. My problem is with his fan club. They seem to be composed mostly of bigots and people who feel that true patriotism consists of flying the flag. This is my opinion - at some point today John McCain realized that the majority of people who still support him are what is known as "white trash".

My understanding is that it is illegal to release actual voting results before polls close. Perhaps I'm wrong.

I would suggest that what these pollsters are telling us in Iowa, Georgia, and North Carolina is that of those people who have been polled, "x" percent said they have already voted.

But that does not tell us the actual number of votes. And in any event, the poll results are not official.

Lech

____________________

Thatcher:

Lech - correct on all three accounts. However, the SOE can release how many have voted (just not who/what they voted for).

____________________

Lechuguilla:

Thatcher, thanks for response.

Voting distribution (roughly two to one for Obama) in those three states certainly would be encouraging to Obama campaign.

However, I would advise caution, as 32K in North Carolina, for example, is only about 1 percent of the anticipated turnout in that state. And, depending on who cast those ballots, the two to one trend for Obama could be quite misleading.

Just trying to express some caution. :)

Cheers,

Lech

You are not helping your cause by posting the early polling numbers from people who have already voted if you are an Obama supporter. There is a reason why the MSM will not release exit polling data prior to the polls closing in a particular state. You can effect the final outcome of the election by doing so. Any media outlet that publishes these numbers is acting highly unethically. And if you repost those numbers in other forums you are only making it worse.

You are potentially driving down participation among Obama supporters who haven't voted yet, and encouraging those who oppose Obama to turn out in higher numbers.

Also, you cannot exptrapolate the demographics of the final vote based on such a small sample of early voters. Obama supporters are clearly more enthusiastic about their candidate than McCain supporters, so they are more likely to turn out as soon as possible to vote. The numbers of Republican vs Democratic voters will even out by the time the polls close on Nov 4.

Good Morning

With regards to publishing actual early voting numbers: we have some IGNORANT IDIOTS posting these. I implore them to desist.

PALIN: It is increasingly clear that she was not properly vetted and she is NOT fit to serve.

There is no greater offence from an Executive officer than ABUSE of POWER. If she abused the power of office to seek sexual pleasures? to advantage her friends and relatives? to have a man lose his livlihood?

For some time Palin had been slandering, in fact since her first introduction by McCain, she has been disrespectful to the process and Obama.

I believe that she has gone further, well beyond the boundary of anything acceptable. Whist McCain yesterday changed tact, he already at the beginning of the campaign had disavowed the very tactics that his Campaign and Palin in extremity have adopted. Is he going to disavow the incendiary language of Palin.

To those who say that the Ayers, Wright, Resko, Acorn connections are fair game - which of course they are - Palin's crime is the deliberate incitement. Her language and cohorts language are irresponsible put at risk and are a stain on the democracy and freedom that we cherish.

What does it take an assination attempt? My view is that Feds should make clear to Palin that she runs the risk of being indicted and should an attempt be made on Obama she and McCain will be charged with be an assessory.

McCain - it is clear that this man is not in charge of his campaign and almost completely out of touch with the reality facing the vast majority of American people. McCain lacks the judgement and temperament pre-requisite for command and has demonstrated that aptly throughout his life, career and in this campaign.

I can not stress enough, from my own comfortable vantage point, the dire State of the Nation. Our economy is essentially bankrupt. Our infrastructure is crumbling, we need renewal and we are faced with ruin for very many of our citizens.

We are fighting 2 wars. We have several potential conflicts with the Russians and Iranians, wars of choice, we should avoid.

UT-OH - POSSIBLE RICO (rackateering) INVESTIGATION OF OBAMA UNDERWAY:

http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/10/10/clinton-supporters-sharing-evidence-for-rico-case-against-obama-campaign/

"There IS a RICO investigation of ACORN and the Obama campaign underway - this has now been established by the mainstream media. Right now it’s rumored here in Chicago that Patrick Fitzgerald is heading it (confirmation on that has not come yet). There is a lot of activity in Chicago right now, with a lot of IRS agents looking into the finances coming in and out of this city, and across state lines (this was established on Monday when the GOP issued emergency press releases that much of Obama’s campaign contributions could very well be illegal foreign contributions - what appears to be deliberately poor record keeping designed to hide the true identities and monetary sources of online donors is at issue here). We see in 15 states now that ACORN is being busted for attempted voter fraud, and for fraudulent, illegal voter registratons in the hundreds of thousands, if not a million. The article below states, and we have confirmed this with people who know for sure, that the people who gathered evidence of Obama’s fraud and voter intimidation techniques during the primaries against Hillary Clinton are sharing everything they have with the Republican Party and the federal government."

NOTES:
Don't know how much truth there is to this and it comes from a pro-Hillary site that HATES Obama, so filter as you like; however, we DO know that ACORN is being investigated in 15 states for voter fraud and there are whispers the whole thing is about to blow wide open nationwide.

Let me make it clear, ACORN and the voter fraud is 100% a Democrat Problem. There is NO Republican equivalent to ACORN. Obama has paid ACORN $800,000 this year to help him.

Can Obama bob and weave hsi way out of this one? Don't know. Just wish we had a better candidate with some real balls to go after Obama on this. Seems like at this point, McCain just wants to be liked more than anything else.

We'll see.

I know you mean well, but that statement is just idiotic. So now Palin criticizing Obama is a CRIME? You say she is guilty of deliberate incitement. Can you show me evidence of where she has specifically called for violence against Obama? A couple nutjobs (probably Obama plants) in the crowd yelling out insults don't count. 2 people in a crowd of 10,000 yell insults and from now on, every McCain/Palin rally is "an angry mob". What utter bullsh*t.

Can you name the law for me that she is breaking?

This is what scares me the most about you libs. You want to outlaw all dissent. Take, for instance, the Fairness Doctrine whose sole purpose is to silence Conservative Talk Radio. If that gets passed, I wonder how MSNBC will feel about being forced to have Rush Limbaugh on their show because of "equal time"? That knife cuts both ways.

Instead of going out with beautiful woman boomboom maybe you should be canvassing or phonebanking?

Good Morning, guys!!!

Please, Hillary supporters? Poor people...they have accused Obama of anything under the sun: from having being born in Kenya, to being a muslim, to Michelle's "withey" video, to "you name it." I am surprised for a new accusation? let me think, NO :-)

Ras is late this morning. He either had a late night with Hannity or he is trying to make the numbers better.

Today's scheduled event MClosing events.

John will be in Iowa campaigning in a state where he's down by double-digits and Palin will be in Pennsylvania that current puts them at a -13 to -16 deficit. That is the definition of defeat in political terms.

On the other hand, Obama will be in Philly all day putting the icing on the cake.
