I am waiting (but not holding my breath) for someone - ANYONE - in mainstream media to point out something that to me appears obvious - and which explains why those crowds at the McCain-Palin rallies are so hostile and angry. When the McCain campaign needs to generate a crowd, where do you think they go to find a sympathetic audience? Why, to rightwing radio talkshow hosts, of course. You know, those guys and gals who make their living spewing hatred of all things progressive day in and day out. Their listeners are known, to put it gently, as "low information voters". Or as I prefer to call them, "Voters Without a Clue." The Rush Limbaugh crowd, the Hannity imbeciles, those idiots who have never read a newspaper in their life except for the sports and "gracious living" sections. Those dumb nitwits who permeate this country and think they are informed because they listen to hate radio every day. I am willing to bet you that the tickets to McCain-Palin rallies are given away to those people by those hate radio hosts, probably as prizes for offering the most inane, sycophantic call-in to their show. Most Repugnicants, repulsive and loathesome though they may be, are not rabid and off-balanced people such as those we see at McCain rallies. They may be mean and rotten to the core, but unbalanced they are not. The people at those rallies are truly unbalanced - just take a look at them when the next newsclip flashes by. These are not well people! And they are working themselves up for naught. These rabid rallies have resulted in not ANY kind of improvement in McCain's poll numbers ANYWHERE. That is fact! These nuts are actually working to McCain's disadvantage, turning off reasonable people who might have voted for him otherwise but do not want to be associated with those nutjobs. Poor ol' McCain, he can't win for LOSING!
