But you would be wrong. As it turns out, the Obama supporters actually have a history of taking violent action and potentially life endangering actions against McCain supporters.

With less than a month to go in the campaign season, tensions are starting to reach a boiling point in Owensboro after a series of vandalized campaign signs. Stealing or vandalizing political signs is not uncommon during election season, but what makes this case unique is that someone actually took the time to cut out the name of Sarah Palin.

Seven weeks before the 2008 presidential election, liberals are warning America that if Barack Obama loses, it is because Americans are racist. Of course, that this means that Democrats (and independents) are racist, since Republicans will vote Republican regardless of the race of the Democrat, is an irony apparently lost on the Democrats making these charges. That an Obama loss will be due to racism is becoming as normative a liberal belief as “Bush Lied, People Died,” a belief has generated intense rage among many liberals. But “Obama...
