The video was produced by Brave New Films and Color of Change (one of the most influential African-American political organizations in the US).

It is a video compendium of some of the worst behavior at McCain/Palin rallies in just the past week.

In my mind, Senator McCain has lost his honor. Governor Palin, who appears to enjoy her race baiting, deserves to be removed from office. She is beyond stupid; she is malicious and evil.

Sarah Palin's Speech: My Reaction/Random Thoughts and Sexism Has Not Got a Damn Thing to do With IT

| The speech was written by the shrub's speechwriter . Sarah Palin delivered it as expected, and came across not as the uncultured, little educated, untraveled, woman that she is, she came across as she desired, and claimed as her own, the description of hockey mom's as "pitbulls with lipstick". A very apt description of her, but I doubt that most hockey moms really care to be  defined as such. As a former hockey and soccer mom, I know that I don't.

| Does having a pitbull with lipstick a heartbeat from the presidency mean change for the American people? Change that we clearly desire, and very much deserve? I think not. I am thinking McSAME or worse.

| Palin is scary. I have never before said this, or even thought it, but if McCain/palin win this election, I will have to seriously consider a move to a different locality. Sweden, perhaps.

| Palin again lied, boldly and outright, to the American people regarding  the "bridge to nowhere".  She is a liar. A bold liar. A woman who lies about very large issues.  It makes me sick to think that Americans may be forced to rely on this woman.
