Those Unhinged Republicans
The latest meme being pushed by the media elite is that Republicans are angry and that this is somehow unheard of in presidential campaigns.
There were shouts of “Nobama” and “Socialist” at the mention of the Democratic presidential nominee. There were boos, middle fingers turned up and thumbs turned down as a media caravan moved through the crowd Thursday for a midday town hall gathering featuring John McCain and Sarah Palin.

In recent days, a campaign that embraced the mantra of “Country First” but is flagging in the polls and scrambling for a way to close the gap as the nation’s economy slides into shambles has found itself at the center of an outpouring of raw emotion rare in a presidential race.
I’m shocked, absolutely shocked!
Who would have thought that McCain/Palin supporters think Obama is a socialist and that the biased mainstream media is for all intents and purposes the enemy.
Isn’t it funny how you never see media reports about all the moonbats comparing Bush to Hitler or spouting their insane September 11th conspiracies. Since the media ignores them, I’ll just repost one picture from a protest during the 2004 election.
I’ll take our angry republicans over their moonbats any day.
Right Wing Nut House has more here, including this:
I can’t tell you how much contempt I have for the Post and other media outlets who have been pushing this meme – that it is somehow dangerous, or racist, or indicative of something horribly ugly in the mindset of GOP supporters to show strong emotion at the mention of Obama. Not when similiar outbursts happen at Democratic rallies. Not when Democratic party partisans on the internet and elsewhere have whipped up a frenzy of hate against John McCain.
Has there ever been someone who screamed out about McCain “Kill him!” at an Obama rally? We don’t know because the idea that the press would report what one, lone, idiot shouts out at a rally of thousands is ludicrous – except if it is a McCain rally and then it becomes front page news.
Update: Stephen Hayes finds “unhinged democrats”. At least that is how the media would describe them if they were republicans.

I find it almost laughable the way these “angry Republicans” are being covered by the media. These “angry Republicans” are being called dangerous, but where was the media over the last eight years? Have they not heard the hatred that spewed from the mouths of the left?
I think that we know the answer to that, they heard but they chose to ignore it.
Steve:
The explanation is that the hatred spewing forth from the collective mouths of the left was nothing but factual and sharp-witted political commentary.
The MSM ignored it since to show it would paint folks they respect, such as Kos, Jabba the Moore, Arianna HuffnStuff, Blowhardman, Hugo, et. al., as mean violent people.
