She is inciting hate and John McCain is egging her on, not just for Obama where one person in the crowd shouted 'kill him", but for the media as well, where another person shouted to an African American cameraman, "sit down *Boy*". That I do not believe this tactic will work today when people are truly struggling and very concerned about the economy makes it no less despicable.The fact that these are the same two people some Americans want to put in charge of this great country simply renders me speechless.

If you'll notice that a number of people (in the south, particularly), who claim to be EX members of the LoS (League of the South) or the C of CC (Council of Conservative Citizens) are running for public offices this year. Their claims to have left these organizations for various reasons are tenuous at best. It appears that the strategy is, indeed, to put a Republican label on it, and get in office. One wonders if the loonies think they can undermine the government from within. Or perhaps I'm the looney, for thinking they can't, considering how well the neoconservatives have paved the way. Timberrrrrrrrr.......

I will say, however, that Memphis so holds to freedom of speech that we have had 2 KKK Rallies in the past 4 yrs without incident.
