We had stopped doing videos at McCain rallies because we felt that more people yelling hateful things was just more of the same. But when McCain held a rally close to my home, I was asked to do one more. Here it is:

Yesterday’s video, and similar videos from McCain and Palin rallies around Pennsylvania, were shot and produced by Keystone Progress. Keystone Progress is a multi-issue progressive advocacy organization that combines cutting edge online organizing and communications with rapid and hard-hitting earned media strategies.

Millions have seen my video of the racist with the monkey at the Palin rally in Johnstown, PA. Obviously, that video struck a nerve. But why should we care about one man with a stuffed monkey?

The simple answer is that racism is still alive and well in the United States, especailly on the campaign trail.

McCain Is Paying Nathan Sproul – A Top GOP Operative Whose Tactics Include Destroying Voter Registration Cards And Disenfranchising Voters

"The Difference Between ACORN And Sproul Is That ACORN Doesn’t Throw Away Or Change Registration Documents After They Have Been Filled Out."

As I've travelled around Pennsylvania the last few weeks, I have seen some of the most disturbing behavior I have ever witnessed in decades of political, union and community organizing. I have had the unique opportunity to video record much of that behavior and millions around the world have seen it. But in my heart I know that that behavior, while all too frequent, does not represent the true spirit of my beloved Pennsylvania.

On Thursday, after being thrown off the grounds of McCain's Downingtown rally, I met the wonderful farm families represented in this video. These people are the real face, and the true spirit of Pennsylvania.

All political campaigns do their best to manage their events, but the McCain/Palin people organize every last detail. This video summarizes what happened in the hour before Palin took the stage.

All signs (and flags) were confiscated at the door.

In case you were wondering what the favorite news source of Palin supporters is, here's a surprise for you. It's Fox News. Especially when it comes to information about ACORN.

But don't take my word. Here are their own words:

And here's some more from the Johnstown, PA Palin rally:

We brought you the hate- filled throngs in Bethlehem, PA earlier in the week. Many of you expressed the hope that this was an isolated incident. But Johnstown took off the sheets yesterday, with at least one person using the "n" word, and this man with his Obama monkey.

More from Johnstown:

Very interesting to see the change in his attitude when the CBS camera points at him:

On Wednesday, October 8, your intrepid diarist stood in line with McCain supporters in Bethlehem, PA. While they were waiting in line to see Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin, they threatened protesters, called Obama a terrorist and repeatedly told the protesters to go home.

One McCain supporter hit the lowest point, IMHO. When a protester asked how the McCainites would feel if a friend of theirs had to pay for her own rape kit, one of them shouted back "She should die!"

Meanwhile, McCain and Palin continued to incite audience inside (no video available here). And the County GOP head twice called him "Barack Hussein Obama."

Truly horrendous, scary and revealing stuff.

GOP Sinks to Historic Low: Calls Obama "A Terrorist's Best Friend"
Demand an apology from McCain

The Republican Party has reached a new level of sleaziness, unseen even by veteran political reporters. On Monday, the Chairman of the Republican Party of Pennsylvania, Robert A. Gleason, Jr., sent a news release to media across the state headlined "PAGOP: OBAMA - A TERRORIST'S BEST FRIEND."

If you're tired of the lies and sleaze, click here to tell John McCain to apologize and stop his party's desperate and despicable descent to what the Will Bunch calls "truly a rock bottom moment in American politics."

A former POW companion of John McCain's, campaigning for him yesterday in Pennsylvania, invoked the holocaust in warning about Barack Obama. Colonel Tom Moe, who occupied the adjacent cell to McCain at the Hanoi Hilton, called Barack Obama a dangerous demagogue whose rhetoric could cause a new holocaust while speaking in Harrisburg at the Republican Party headquarters.
