> [@](#): > > Also, what do McCain supporters think of this? Without having any data on this at all, my guess would be that some are disgusted by it, some are fairly indifferent, and others are delighted by it. > [@](#): > > I wonder how [McCain supporters] feel about supporting the candidate that draws the support of human garbage like this. I know if people were pulling shit like this on McCain signs, I would be really worried about what it said about me that I supported a candidate who attracted this kind of scum. Do you think that all (most, even) reasons for supporting McCain are so illegitimate that they can be discredited by sporadic acts of vandalism? ---
