Republicans don't mob. This group was a mob.

Oh bullshit. Perhaps there is less tie dye and fewer puppets. Perhaps mob is not the effective form for the likes of George Will or Cheney/Libby (they can hire it done) but just as you note with leftist ideologues, there are enthusiastic conservative fundamentalists, culture warriors (!) who gather and threaten or enact violence against individuals or institutions with which they disagree---those acting too gay, not speaking English, exercising their right to obtain medical treatment, or perhaps daring to teach Toni Morrison to 12th graders and charismatic mouthpieces- Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity to egg them on. There is plenty of hate to go around.

McCain did well ethically and strategically rebutting those ignorant Minnesotans. I also watched some footage from Ohio where the rhetoric was not countered but encouraged by the Campaign and surrogates. Who is leading here? the mob?
