John McCain's unprecedentedly ugly speech today

    Even worse than "Terrorist..."

    ...someone in Palin's crowd in FL yelled "Kill Him!" in response to part of her speech.

    No one said anything. Has anyone yet from the McCain/Palin campaign come out and condemned this persons words? I know they can't control the crowd, but silence condones. They're treading into dangerous territory here, almost to the level of hate speech, but not quite. They're certainly inciting the crowd to rather scary levels.
