In Which Zandar Answers Your Burning Questions

Josh Marshall points out:

Seems like almost every day now there's a McCain-Palin rally where the campaign has the candidates introduced by someone who hits on "Barack Hussein Obama". Just happened again in Bethlehem, PA. After the fifth or sixth time you pretty much know on the orders of the campaign. It is obviously with tacit approval (to believe anything else is to be a dupe at this point); and quite probably on the campaign's specific instructions.

Given the regularity of the cries of "treason" and "terrorist" and the like, and the frequency with which the screamers seem in oddly convenient proximity to the mics, we should probably be considering the possibly that these folks are campaign plants. It happens all the time. It's just that usually they don't scream out accusations of capital crimes.

Which leads him to ask the burning question:

Late Update: A thought. At what point do they start burning Obama in effigy at the Palin rallies?

Well Josh, since we've already got people hanging Obama effigies in public these days, the burning part seems to be the next "logical" step, yes?

Once again I am convinced that somebody will soon take a shot at Obama. Literally. You cannot juggle lava without burning people.
