#1 The parallel with McGovern's hippie strike force in 1972 is interesting. These were people who routinely spat on servicemen returning from Vietnam and who characterized them as war criminals. They did not know, or care, that their McGovern himself was a highly decorated B-24 pilot during WW2.
Obama may or may not have any control over these people but his candidacy is responsible for them to the degree that they reflect the political subculture that will be in power if he is elected.

#2 These people flooded the caucuses, giving Obama the nomination.  They're a good part of his base.

#3 I think this comment hits it right on the head:

You’re wrong about SoetorObama not being able to stop these people if he wants to — his campaign uses Kos and DU to spread the rumors and lies it wants spread, so if he didn’t want things like this up there attacking Palin, the people at both sites who communicate daily with the SoetorObama campaign would yank this stuff the moment it goes up.

These people are incredibly quick to censor anything that criticizes SoetorObama, and anyone posting anything that is not 100% pro-SoetorObama is instantly banned on these sites. So, we find it impossible to believe that if SoetorObama really wanted shameless attacks like this on Down Syndrome babies to stop, that DU and Kos couldn’t enforce that policy as strictly as it enforces their firm pro-SoetorObama stances.

#4 I doubt he has any personal knowledge about crap like this, plausible deniability. But I'd say both camps like to do a little asymmetrical warfare when the phones arent ringing.

#5 Those who fail to understand the word, "backlash", dont understand the words "hurricane or "lanslide" either.

#6 ....it makes normal people wonder why they would support SoetorObama

I'd beg to differ. I suspect a very, very high percentage of 'normal people' decided NOT to support this clown long before the Ebay incident.

#7 Obama has problems with his base? Really?

#8 These are the kooks that are driving the dhimocrats. And if they win, will drive us all off a cliff.

#9 The 'liberals' and their MSM agents have no problem painting their opponents with the actions of people out of control they tag on the right - i.e. Eric Rudolph. When they're challenged on the point their usual and very Freudian reply is 'but you wanted to do it'. So, those are the rules. When they go 'Palin' on the miscreants [that is turn on members of their own party/alliance who do corrupt things], let me know.

#10 Darth Vader is right, these aint your grandfather's hippies. These are a whole new generation of nuts.
You can see old hippies in the background of some of the pictures with puzzled looks on their faces. They must know by now that this new bunch of kids aren't for peace, or tolerance, or putting our differences aside and working towards a common goal.

#11 These "nutters" are as crazy as the suicide bombers we deal with in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is the base of the dhimmicratic party today. It scares the hell out of me.

#13 Obama wants it both ways. McCain is in someway responsible for any claims that Obama is black and/or mulsim despite the fac that no Republicans have brought up anything of the sort while THE ONE is not to blame for any kind of foul nonsense brought up by Democrats and their fanboys.

#14 it's wierdos like this in the Democratic party that keep folks like me and LiberalHawk hanging out at Rantburg.

For a little sanity break.

(and there is also the tasty complimentary popcorn)

#16 If Obama wants to win in November, he needs to buy lots of prime time ad space immediately and just plain go ballistic about those creatins who did this. A simple disavowal is insufficient in this case. Stay tuned for the rest of the story - from Obama.

#17 "If Obama wants to win in November, he needs to buy lots of prime time ad space..."

Richard (a fine first nyme if'n I do say so myself), another webiste is stating that The One has financial issues; not bringing in the bread like he imagined he would and he cannot go back and dip in the public funding after he turned it down, after he said he would take it.
so perhaps there will be limited (paid) media spots from Camp Obama.
(Some part of me wants to leap into song, Allan Sherman's classic: Hello Maddah, Hello Faddah, here I am at Camp Obama..." but I won't.)

#19 Is there room on the grill for some fresh corn?  I picked up a couple dozen ears at the farm nearby.
