Some McCain supporters turning to hate at rallies

TO THE EDITOR:

Recent events in the presidential campaign should make the remaining voters for John McCain and Sarah Palin reconsider their choice. The almost complete lack of response by McCain and Palin from their supporters in official campaign events reveals a shocking disregard or perhaps silent encouragement" for the rampant racism that they have arguably encouraged.

At a recent Palin rally: ""Kill him!"" At a recent McCain rally: ""Off with his head!"" After McCain asked who the ""real"" Obama is: ""Terrorist!"" and ""Traitor!""

To his credit" once the media actually started calling McCain on ignoring and even encouraging such behavior" he tried to call his opponent an ""honorable man."" Boos from the crowd.

One recent author of a letter to the editor said he was planning on not voting for Obama because of stickers placed on light poles. I hope for the sake of the nation that you don't consider putting stickers on light poles worse than hate speech.
