Let us know when you find "fans" calling for a race war, like Fatima Ali, will.

Let me know when you will cover ACORN getting nabbed red-handed trying to commit voter fraud. Or when you will outline the Anti-American scumbags Obama claims not to know. And finally, when will you cover the fact that you, Will Bunch, know absolutely nothing about baseball. I must say Will, you are a marketing campaign's dream come true.

Exactly what is your point Will? Prior to your blog entry, did I have any doubt that we'd be able to find both morons and geniuses at Obama, Biden, McCain or Palin rallies? No...not at all.

I'm thinkin' those are some of the "prisoners" that McCain was referring to.

"Let me know when you will cover ACORN getting nabbed red-handed trying to commit voter fraud...." Funny thing about that. I seem to remember some other claims about voter fraud a while back. You know, those claims that States' Attorney investigated and determined were unfounded. You know, those States' Attorney that the Bush administration fired because they refused to prosecute prosecute Democrats for voter fraud, even though no such fraud existed, because Republican politicians wanted to use the Justice Department for political expediency? You do know about all of that, don't you bdphilly?

You seem to be implying that there is voter fraud going on now, but since the political parties are reversed, it is simply payback for the lack of accountability for the voter fraud that occured a while back?

McCain's rallies are full of these jerks - when will McCain apologize for people screaming 'terrorist' when he mentions Obama. These people are sick. This BS is tolerated and even encouraged at these rallies. It's such a bunch of lies - the Republicans should be (and some are) embarrassed by this wave of garbage. When Obama wins he will prove he will be the president for all Americans!!

Scary stuff right there. These people are insane.

Lol! legatus shows up to point out that it is irrelevant that some of McCain's supporters think Obama is a terrorist - because some people on the left are loons. The point is, legatus, that it is no accident that there are McCain supporters that think that Obama is a terrorist. Do you think that when Republican party officials make statements along those lines it is just a coincidence? How about when they explicitly use Obama's middle name to clearly make a point? How about when the McCain campaign produces commercials that state that Obama is "friends" with domestic terrorists - that his "career was launched" in Ayers' living room? How about when frightwing talk radio - the single biggest mouthpiece of the Republican party - constantly promotes the notion that Obama is a "Marxist." Look, legatus, if you want to hold lunatic leftwingers to account, go to it. More power to you. But it's just a joke when you show up to defend Republican nutjobs - although given the scum you've showed up to defend in the past, it isn't exactly surprising.

There is a part 2 on that guys YouTube site that is even better than that first video Will. A womans young child says "You need gloves to touch him" referring to Obama.

"You seem to be implying that there is voter fraud going on now, but since the political parties are reversed, it is simply payback for the lack of accountability for the voter fraud that occured a while back?..." Huh? The parties aren't reversed. It was Republican politicians who pressured States' Attorney to prosecute cases of voter fraud among Dems even though the States Attorneys told them there wasn't sufficient evidence of such. The only thing I'm saying about the cases that are at hand now is that we simply don't know how valid any of the evidence is, and if it is valid, we don't know how widespread it is. Yet, Republicans use the cases that are going on now to justify some wild-eyed conspiracy theory about Dem voter fraud. It is not at all uncommon for parties of both sides to use the justice system cynically to pursue voter fraud cases just before an election to intimidate voters, and to create the impression that a given election is tainted. What we do have evidence of is that Republicans - the Bush administration - systematically corrupted the judicial system for the purpose of political expediency. Spin that one away, legatus. Have at it.
Comment removed.

At 3:23 you make my point for me. There are lunatics on both sides and they are manipulated by each side as well. I don't have to hold lunatic leftwingers to account...I simply stated that they exist and you have agreed that they do indeed. "it's just a joke when you show up to defend Republican nutjobs" I CLEARLY didn't defend anyone above. I simply asked will what his point was, as there are morons on both sides of the fence...a point with which you agree.

As to the voter fraud & party reversal, I assumed that you were talking about the long lines in poor sections of Ohio, the Diebold machines, etc. While I disagreed with the way the Bush Admin handled the states attorneys, there is no spinning needed for their firings. They were hired due to their politics and they were fired due to their politics...simple as that. No one did anything illegal.

I've seen plenty of videos of Dems giving McCain supporters the finger and screaming at them, and threatening them, give me a break. DO you think that some of this was a little tongue in cheek? It was obvious they were being set up.

You know who's part of the Obama mob: Bill Ayres. He's not just talk like these people, he blows up what he doesn't like.
