Freedom of speech in our country is subject to limitations, such as on "hate speech." Sarah Palin smears Obama at her rallies and incites violence. There have been shouts of "kill him," among others. If you do not believe this, you can find many websites that have video proof of these hateful comments being shouted out at McCain and Palin campaign rallies. Palin and McCain do nothing to stop this. They are inciting it in a last ditch effort to win the presidential race. They will stoop that low in order to win. They are out of options and are resorting to hate and lies. This is shameful and these are so-called Christian people. They need to start going to church with Fred Phelps if that's the way they are going to act. They are full of lies and hate and this is typical of Karl Rove style politics. Nothing is taboo. These people are disgusting. Obama has remained above the fray but so many people will buy into the Republican lies and smear campaigns. John McCain himself has been the victim of many ugly smear campaigns from Republicans in the past, yet he has hired some of the very same people who tarred and feathered him in the past, to help him with his slash and burn campaign now. It is unbelievable. It was Karl Rove who spread the nasty rumors about John McCain in his past presidential campaign that he had fathered a black child out of wedlock. These people are dirty and John McCain is the dirtiest of the bunch. Beware of these power hungry losers. And especially beware of the hateful tactics that they are using. We have a very ugly history of racial hatred in our country. There have been recent assasinations in our country's history. Take Martin Luther King, Jr. for instance. Why would anybody be impressed with a presidential candidate who would exploit that hatred and potentially incite violence?
