Man Holds Monkey Doll With Obama Sticker At Palin Rally

As the crowd cheered at a Sarah Palin rally this morning in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a man in the audience grinned as he held up a stuffed monkey doll with a Barack Obama bumper sticker wrapped across its forehead.

The incident came at a time when McCain and Palin's events have increasingly been fueled by angry crowds, since Palin began drawing a connection between Barack Obama and 1960s radical William Ayers, claiming that the Democratic nominee has a history of "palling around" with a terrorist.

He thinks he's an American and that this means all topics are fair game...So, he needs to be publically identified and asked to state his "American" beliefs out-loud. If he's not a racist; or, as some have expressed, a child molester, he has nothing to hide and should welcome publicly defending himself. Very creep guy!!! Really, people like this need to be called-out publicly. It's how you fight back against idiots and bullies.

he should have left his sheet on with the eyes cut out. than we wouldn't have known who he is. the nice thing is, alot of people will now know what this guy is really all about.

This guy is going to end up getting hurt. He will be recognized. He will be identified. He will be questioned about his actions but not have the chops to respond, just like any of these people who get put on the spot refuse to publicly talk about it. This is a great story for the media but mark my words, the longer they run it, the more anyone probes into it, the more places the story ends up, just mean this dude is going to get hurt by someone who doesn't find his joke very funny.

Although I don't advocate violence as a rule, I wouldn't stop someone from mangling this guy either.

These people are their own best argument against evolution.

You have to watch that video at CBS. The guy passes the monkey to a kid when the camera starts taking pictures of him.

A perfect metaphor for the CUNNING COWARDICE of racial intolerance. (It helps that the man looks like Karl Rove, the most CUNNING REPUBLICAN COWARD of them all.)

Why is every picture of these racist POS's I see lately it looks like they huffed down 20 pork chops with a gallon of ice cream? How do they even find time to spew hate speech if they are stuffing their fat faces to get that big?

Seriously though, I wonder if anyone even bothered to tell that guy that was inappropriate at that rally. Since I know no one did, I also wonder how many people laughed about it or complimented him on it.

What is so sad is that smile on his face--he thinks he is funny. Undoubtedly he will claim the monkey is not racist, that the monkey is cute--later after this picture is taken--maybe after reconsidering, he takes the bumpersticker off the monkey and gives the animal to a child...perhaps his conscience got the best of him...I hope so...we are better than this. You can talk about associations--Obama with a Weather Underground founder now Doctor of Education helping Chicago Inner City Schools and a bombastic Black preacher whose ideas and history was formed by the violence and hatred of pre 60's America on his generation.For Obama and many people in the City of Chicago these were people with a past who worked hard to change the future. While McCain's new associates are the scared, angry crowds--that they failed to offer hope to-- the man with the monkey, the woman who thought Obama was an Arab, the crowds yelling Terrorist, Kill Him, and Behead Him...

Dear Bloggers,
YesterdayHuffPo posted the tape from the post rally interview of the woman who thought Obama was an Arab. She read her "facts" about Obama from a McCain Campaign Hate Mail letter. She went to Burnsville and personally assisted in mailing 400 of these hatemail poison penned racist rants herself. It's time to fight back bloggers.

I encourage everyone to write to every single MSM outlet/demand they follow up on this story.

Here is a link to their email addies:

Here is an excerpt of my email to all of them:
I would like to know when the mainstream media is going to cover this story completely. As Sen. John McCain and Gov. Palin made campaign stops through out the country last week, they did their level best to whip their supporters into a frenzy, by fanning the flames of hatred, bigotry, racism and fear. One simple little step back by way of a mild disagreement of the fact at a rally by Sen. McCain is not enough. It is not nearly enough. In fact, the appearances at the rallies are only part of the story. Evidently this campaign has had a hate mail campaign going as well. Is the MSM going to sit idly by while a presidential candidate and his running mate seek the highest office in the land and do so by inciting violence, hatred and fear in order to garner votes?

And I can't even find an Obama bumper sticker.

I like how he tried to play it off when noticed he had been spotted by someone outside of his clan.

I noticed in the CBS article that the man gave the monkey to a boy he did not know.

My mother told me when I was a child not to accept candy or toys from strangers and for good reason.

Hello to all commentators,

All the commercials, pundits, gaffes, personal attacks, and the MSM will not dictate the outcome of this election. THE GROUND GAME IS WHERE ELECTIONS ARE WON, AND LOST!

Before you go to the next left leaning article to comment on, or right leaning article to start an argument with a repug (which will no doubt end with them calling you an unpatriotic socialist wimp) I suggest that you get in the game.
