Are McCain supporter's "true colors" coming out under the pressure?

So I am sure that all of you who have been following the campaign (which i assume is all of you) have noticed the recent angry and frightening remarks from McCain/Palin supporters at political rallies across the country. This new and evident rage from supporters on the campaign trail has not only shown their frustrations with the way that the campaign is going, but has led to many inappropriate, false, and dirty remarks and attacks against Barack Obama. The first couple instances of this rage were followed by applause and cheers and "USA" chants from the crowd in attendance, but as time went on and more and more people in the media are noting this rage, McCain is finally taking a stand and telling his supporters not to fight this way and make these remarks. I completely understand being frustrated when it comes to politics; politicians (who i like) make mistakes and say things that frustrate and anger me or when they are behind in the race I get discouraged and upset, but to make death threats to the opponent... that is completely ridiculous and uncalled for, as well as makes the opposing campaign and party look unprofessional, uneducated, and not ready to lead.

Shouts claiming that Obama is an Arab, a Muslim, a terrorist are not only ludicrous but this type of rage I believe shows the true colors of the supporters of the McCain/Palin ticket in a time where their candidate is behind. I think that it is extremely upsetting and scary when comments like, "I don't trust Obama. I have read about him and he's an Arab" are spewed across the political scene, especially in these last crucial weeks of the campaign. It is even more troublesome that when McCain tried to correctly inform his supporters and saying that Obama, "is a decent person, and a person that you do not have to be scared as President of the United States." This comment was met by a wave of boos from a crowd at a recent rally. This type of anger and rage has not been as evident on the side of Barack Obama.

So I ask you, Is this a reflection of the candidate or a reflection of the political party and the type of people that make it up? Or, is it neither and is there something else behind this? And how should the candidate (in this case McCain) handle this type of situation?


A fall in the polls makes anyone discouraged, but should it really lead to this: ???
