The Lone Man?

And so the beat goes on. In Scranton, PA today another Palin supporter yelled out "kill him" when the Barack Obama hour of hatred kicked off.

It is truly fascinating to watch these "christians" in action. How do they reconcile their hateful ideology with the actual teachings of Christ? And Sarah--poor Sarah--how can she profess to be a "christian" while allowing the shocking behavior of her followers to continue? This is leadership?

What do these good churchgoers fantasize about during their preachers' sermons? The rapture? Peace on earth? Killing people they don't agree with?

Chris Hackett addressed the increasingly feisty crowd as they await the arrival of Gov. Palin.

Each time the Republican candidate for the seat in the 10th Congressional District mentioned Barack Obama the crowd booed loudly.

One man screamed "kill him!"

Supporters have been noted shouting “kill him,” “terrorist,” “off with his head” and other equally incendiary terms about Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. Others have directly suggested Mr. Obama is a Muslim, which he is not, or a traitor. Some comments even drew rebuke from Republican presidential nominee John McCain.

Other than the lone man, there were no other such outbursts.
