You're right, gucci, it is about name calling. I started the thread. So how would one go about comparing the amount of name calling?

Google tells me that there are about 700,000 references to the words Obama and Osama used together. While many of these are likely negative comparisons of your candidate to the terrorist leader, many are probably news articles where your candidate has something to say about bin Laden (or vice versa).

Google also tells me that there are around 1,115,000 references to McSame etc.

Add to this the recent news about the Canadian commentator, and the nasty commments way beyond simply disagreeing with political platforms or relative degrees of experience.

Have you ever listened to Randi Rhodes? She can hardly get between commercial breaks without calling some Conservative a childish name. I wish I had a nickel for every time I've heard her use the term "Bushies."

Ever listen to Hannity? Admittedly one of the more outspoken Conservative commentators, yet he always addresses the Liberal that he is talking about by name.
