I'm not against throwing out people who disturb a speech, but isn't it a valid way to bring attention to an issue? Apparently the guy is a veteran who disagrees with McCain voting against the higher benefits for vets.
Just saying, from my observations and some may follow this stuff more than me but there appears to me a lot more loons on the left. Not to say the right doesn't have theirs maniacs too.

You are probably just seeing what you are looking for. I work witha guy who thinks Bush is part of some neocon Illuminati and planned 9/11, and another guy who thinks Obama is the Antichrist come to take away all the innocent little babies that McCain, an agent of God, wants to save (that is almost an exact quote). Both sides have equal, but different, fucking whackos.

It saddens me that people's answer to reading things they don't agree with is to not read it. Out of sight, out of mind and carry on in our own little worlds I guess, sigh.
Khorum is a guy standing in front of an Industrial class fan throwing giant shovelfuls of loose liquidy shit up in the air with the occasional diamond in the pile. Really though who wants to sift through all the exaggerations, half truths, lies and flawed arguments for the few times when he has a valid point backed up by real links, especially when he ignores anything that actually contradicts him anyway?

I think the loons on the left just are more visible, they're on the internet. The right wing loons are in a religious camp somewhere, training for a crusade, protesting outside planned parenthood and stuff like that.

Very few Republicans know how to use a computer. True story.

This is a pretty cool chart. Shows how frequent certain keywords were at each convention. I'm surprised that the Democrats said "9/11" more often than Republicans, though I'm not sure if it includes the tribute videos.

Lol which is probably worse. The quite ones always do the most damage when they become loud.

Oh ok, so according to your observations militant group attempts to murder candidates with high power rifles was ubiquitous this convention series but the 84,000 person DNC was strangely absent of hecklers.

Really interesting chart. From what I could tell from watching both conventions is the Dems spent a lot of time on what Obama/Biden will do and the republicans spent a lot of time on what McCain/Palin have done. Not sure if that was their intentions but I think the chart kinda backs it up a bit.

Just don't. I don't understand why people respond to him, and then bitch when he posts berlin wall of text full of lies backed up by Xanga links and discredited bloggers. He's full of shit, great, now why the fuck does anyone pay attention? By even talking about this (including this post) you're playing his game.

Caught Mccain's speech last night, it was pretty good. he actually proved he is more change oriented than obama. Mccain has shown that he will work with both sides while Obama is only looking at one side of the equation. I admit i would prefer the ruling side casting the template but Mccain's angle is the way of change in the status quo in washington. If he can make that work somehow, i seriously doubt because realistically everyone else in washington will still be hard nosed partisans and will only support their party ideas and reject the opposing side. In this way McCain will be a lame duck president from the day he takes office.

No, these candidates get threatened all the time. I was just saying that it very well could happen to McCain also before this is all said and done.
