It's really interesting to me that whether or not someone yelled something at a rally is news.
I agree that it seems to be a reporter trying to make a name for himself. What's interesting to me is why Obama supporters love to invoke this kind of stuff as somehow supportive of their candidate. You see it all over the blogs and the last few pages of this thread - trying to connect any opposition to this racist element.
Though in terms of "kill him" (though it didn't actually happen) - not sure that's necessarily racist. I've heard plenty of hippie west coast liberals yell similar (and worse) things about Bush the last 8 years, including at political rallies. Why is that not news?
