This article is troubling....IF Obama wins the election, what will prevent one of these guys from shooting him?

(CNN) -- With recent polls showing Sen. Barack Obama's lead increasing nationwide and in several GOP-leaning states, some Republicans attending McCain-Palin campaign rallies have taken on a new emotion: Rage.

An angry supporter confronts Sen. John McCain at a rally in Wisconsin on Thursday.

An angry supporter confronts Sen. John McCain at a rally in Wisconsin on Thursday.

"When you have an Obama, [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and the rest of the hooligans up there going to run this country, we have got to have our head examined. It's time that you two are representing us, and we are mad. So, go get them," one man told Sen. John McCain at a town hall meeting in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

It's almost a cry for help, with the GOP party faithful amazed McCain could possibly be losing.

"And we're all wondering why that Obama is where he's at, how he got here. I mean, everybody in this room is stunned that we're in this position," another man said at a rally.

"I'm mad. I'm really mad. And what's going to surprise you, it's not the economy. It's the socialists taking over our country," another man said. Video Watch more of the anger at the rallies »

Recently, McCain's campaign launched a string of new ads that question Obama's judgment and character.

The McCain campaign calls Obama "too risky for America" in a new Web ad that focuses on his political relationship with Bill Ayers, a founding member of the radical Weather Underground.

"Barack Obama and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Friends. They've worked together for years. But Obama tries to hide it," the announcer said in the 90-second ad.

The now-defunct Weather Underground was involved in bombings in the early 1970s, including attacks on the Pentagon and the Capitol. Obama was a young child at the time of the bombings.

Obama and Ayers, now a university professor, met in 1995, when both worked with a nonprofit group trying to raise funds for a school improvement project and a charitable foundation. CNN's review of project records found nothing to suggest anything inappropriate in the volunteer projects in which the two men were involved.

Quoted in The New York Times, Obama called Ayers "somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8."

At a rally Tuesday in Clearwater, Florida, Sarah Palin said Obama was being "less than truthful" about his ties to Ayers. "His own top adviser said they were 'certainly friendly.' ... I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way that you and I see America -- as the greatest source for good in this world," she said.

Palin told the crowd that she sees "a pattern in how our opponent has talked about one of his most troubling associations.

One member of the Palin audience in Jacksonville, Florida, Tuesday shouted out "treason." And at another rally in the state Monday, Palin's mention of the Obama-Ayers tie caused one member to yell out: "kill him" -- though it was unclear if it was targeted at Obama or Ayers.

At several recent rallies, Palin has stirred up crowds by mentioning the "liberal media." Routinely, there are boos at every mention of The New York Times and the "mainstream media," both of which are staples of Palin's stump speech.

Some audience members are openly hostile to members of the traveling press covering Palin; one crowd member hurled a racial epithet at an African-American member of the press in Clearwater, Florida, on Monday.

And at a McCain rally in New Mexico on Monday, one supporter yelled out "terrorist" when McCain asked, "Who is the real Barack Obama?" McCain didn't respond.

So far, neither Palin nor McCain have explicitly called on their supporters to tamper down the attacks. Video Watch as McCain ramps up his criticism of Obama »

On Friday, Obama touched on the rage found at recent McCain-Palin rallies, saying the "barrage of nasty insinuations and attacks" were a result of the Republican nominees failed economic ideas.

"They can run misleading ads, they can pursue the politics of anything goes. It will not work. Not this time. I think that folks are looking for something different this time. It's easy to rile up a crowd, nothing's easier than riling up a crowd by stoking anger and division. But that's not what we need right now in the United States. The times are too serious," Obama said at a rally in Chillicothe, Ohio.

But some anger found at McCain-Palin rallies is, however, directed at McCain. Video Watch analysts weigh in on the recent attacks »

"I am begging you, sir, I am begging you, take it to him," another supporter said to the Arizona senator at the Wisconsin rally.

McCain, however, seems torn. On one hand, he is going negative on the Ayers controversy.

"The point is, Sen. Obama said he was just a guy in the neighborhood. We know that's not true," he said at the rally in Wisconsin. "We need to know the full extent of the relationship because of whether Sen. Obama is telling the truth to the American people or not."

On the other hand, McCain is trying to focus on the economic downturn plaguing the country.

"But I also, my friends, want to address the greatest financial challenge of our lifetime with a positive plan for action," he added.

Also, the McCains said months ago they didn't wanted their son Jimmy -- a Marine serving in Iraq -- dragged into the campaign.

But on Thursday, Cindy McCain brought up her son.

She criticized the Illinois senator for voting against a bill to fund troops in Iraq, a regular line of attack from her husband's campaign.

"The day that Sen. Obama cast a vote not to fund my son when he was serving sent a cold chill through my body, let me tell you," she told a Pennsylvania crowd before introducing her husband and his No. 2.

The vote Cindy McCain is referencing came in May 2007, when Obama was one of 14 senators who voted against a war-spending plan that would have provided emergency funds for American troops overseas.

A CNN fact check deemed the charge that Obama voted against troop funding "misleading."

Ok, so Obama wins.....and one of these guys assasinate him....Biden become President....

Different scenerio-

McCAin becomes President....a year later, dies from a heart attack...Pallin becomes President....

Neil's take on Pallin- She's a scary low class 1.2 million dollar soccer mom.

[shudder] What is the world gonna come to...?

[Liz]

I have often thought about this issue too. I fear that there is going to be some KKK member that is going to be gunnin' for Obama simply for his skin color. On the other hand, there is always some nut job that will try and take out Palin just because she is a woman.

This is another reason why I want there to be a clear cut winner, and not so close that recounts have to happen or the dangling chad fiasco. I am hoping that the nut jobs on both sides will be controlled somewhat if the winner is definate with a wide margin.

We really have to watch out for low-class, $1.2 million people. Those are scary for sure.

Oh, sorry, I forgot to add the word "secessionist" as in one who supports the secession or removing one state from the country it belongs.... so it should read-

She's a scary low class secessionist advocating 1.2 million dollar soccer mom.

Does that change your thinking on her yet Shane?

I know we had problems with the South when it attempted to seceed from the States....and Alaska may want to align itself with the polar bears and Santa Clause instead of the US...

[Dr. Shane]

Or Russia. Maybe they will want to align themselves with Russia. After all, they use to be part of Russia.

[Neil D]

Well, when it comes to having bought and paid for land, I favor keeping the land. Those secessionists need to go find their own land, not the one I bought from the Ruskies....

[Dr. Shane]

We tricked the Russians. We bought the land for pennies and then cashed in on the gold.

[Neil D]

And at the time we knew there was gold in Alaska...?

I don't think so...

[John317]

One of the best land deals ever made: The United States completed the purchase on March 30, 1867, for $7.2 million at 2 cents per acre, about 5 cents per hectare. When adjusted for inflation, the total sum paid equates to approximately $360 million in 2008 dollars.

[fccool]

Shane, I don't think it was a trick. The offer was made by Russians, which initiated the sell off talks. The reason that Russia sold the land, because they feared that they will eventually loose it, which they would.

[Dr. Shane]

Yes, they would have lost it when Sarah Palin and her separatist husband Todd took control.

Excuse me?????

[Dr. Shane]

The Russians may not have feared John F. Kennedy but Sarah Barracuda would certainly made them shake in their boots. It is a good thing they sold off Alaska before she arrived.

[Neil D]

[Tom Wetmore]

OK... Let's get silly...

If the Russian's hadn't sold the Alaskan territory to the US, there wouldn't have been a Sarah Palin... Maybe a Sarina Palinikov leading the post-Soviet separtist group in Alaskanistan...

From the Alaska Independence Party:

"My statement was incorrect regarding the Governor's membership. What was correct was that Todd Palin was a member, that Sarah as a candidate for Governor appeared at the AIP Convention in 2006, and sent a welcoming DVD to the membership at the 2008 AIP statewide convention."

The AIP is an officical party of our state and Sarah is the governor of all of us, including those of the AIP

From the Fairbanks Newsminer:

"Voter registration records show Sarah Palin registered in May 1982 as a member of the Republican Party and has not changed her affiliation. Todd Palin has been registered undeclared since 2002, Fenumiai said."

[Dr. Shane]

I am glad that is cleared up. Any Communists or Nazis up there. I hope Sarah isn't friendly with them.

Ah, she's promotin' the american way from her house, Shane. Remember, she can see them from her house...
