Even as the news media and the left focuses on the "deeply divisive" and "ugly" tone of McCain supporters responding to his current attacks, as they all but ignore the content of those attacks, we know that there are kooks and ugly supporters, sexism, smears, etc. on both sides. As an example, my fellow blogger Tommy Christopher brings up an excellent example:

It's time to hip check the right wing!

Join PuckYouPalin.com on Saturday during the Rangers/Flyers game and chant... PUCK YOU PALIN!!!!!

With the announcement that VP nominee and self professed "hockey mom"Sarah Palin will drop the puck at Saturday's Flyers/Rangers game, puckyoupalin.com is getting inundated with emails. The web site has heard its fans and will post video of hockey fans chanting PUCK YOU PALIN from Saturday night's game.

And with appropriate sexist image:

So. Anyone want to take bets on whether anyone in the media will start writing stories about the "ugly" tone of Obama supporters or demand that Obama give them a stern talking to?

Yeah, I know ha ha. Yet we all know how the comments are here for both sides. And yet somehow, only McCain is being tasked by the media. Interesting how that works.

As Gateway Pundit noted before, when McCain supporters start printing and distributing signs saying Obama = terrorist. Then we'll know we have a problem.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
