The media has been buzzing the last couple of days about the statements of some in the McCain rallies that indicate they do not have a high regard for Obama. In fact most have been more temperate than Howard Dean in discussing President Bush.
In fact these media hypocrites never said anything about the intemperate things said about President Bush up to and including suggestions of assassinations by many on the angry left. They have in fact given good reviews to books and movies on that subject.
These people just have not credibility on the subject and McCain and Palin should ignore them and continue to speak to passionate crowds who are enthusiastic about defeating the evils of liberalism.

NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE? So we've had nearly 8 years of lefty assassination fantasies about George W. Bush, and Bill Ayers' bombing campaign is explained away as a consequence of him having just felt so strongly about social justice, but a few people yell things at McCain rallies and suddenly it's a sign that anger is out of control in American politics? It's nice of McCain to try to tamp that down, and James Taranto sounds a proper cautionary note -- but, please, can we also note the staggering level of hypocrisy here? (And that's before we get to the Obama campaign's thuggish tactics aimed at silencing critics.)
The Angry Left has gotten away with all sorts of beyond-the-pale behavior throughout the Bush Administration. The double standards involved -- particularly on the part of the press -- are what are feeding this anger. (Indeed, as Ann Althouse and John Leo have noted, the reporting on this very issue is dubious). So while asking for McCain supporters to chill a bit, can we also ask the press to start doing its job rather than openly shilling for a Democratic victory? Self-control is for everybody, if it's for anybody. . . .
UPDATE: Well, here's an opportunity to see how they do.
Plus, days of rage.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Hey, it's not my rage. Remember, I lack fire. "Reynolds, at his most, barely reaches the level of mildly peeved."
