I've watched these clips several times. Here are the videos where the crowd is clearly yelling these insults. He didn't say a word, neither did Palin.

The damage was done when he didn't call those attacks out right there. To me, that's not acceptable. Period.

I said nothing about WHY I'm voting for Obama. It still doesn't change the fact that McCain facilitated hate, even for that brief moment. To me, as a voter and as an adult that is not acceptable behavior for a person that wants to be a President. Presidents set the tone. He set the tone in a manner which I do not agree.

McCain hasn't tolerated that kind of activity!!! He has been vocal when people have shouted those things. You have been taken in by the media that chooses to bolster all that Obama does and make it appear that McCain is the "bad" guy. I realize that being located in Boston, that's probably all you get to hear. Bit, believe me, there are other opinions out here. It's only been the last two weeks or so that I finally heard what some of Obama's plans were! (& I don't like most of them) If you really think that Obama's gonna give all those tax breaks, you need to look closer at his voting history. <br><br>And, by the way, this is NOT a racial race. I am not a racist just because I'm voting against Obama. (there. I said it. I'm not voting FOR McCain. I'm voting AGAINST Obama!!!) Oh my God, Chel! McCain hasn't tolerated that kind of activity!!!
