"...should we not expect McCain and Palin to repudiate, deny, reject (or whatever the hell the proper word was) these obscene and dangerous cries from their supporters?"


                     It's very doubtful in McCain and Palin have any idea who these people are. It would make sense that security people in the crowd (secret service and etc.) should identify them, follow and maybe investigate them, but it seems to me that it would be counter-productive for any of the candidates comment on these loonies.
