.McCain supporters aggressiveness & visceral anger, reflect a party on the 'precipice of panic'

"Terrorist!” one man screamed Monday at a New Mexico rally after McCain voiced the campaign’s new rhetorical staple aimed at raising doubts about the Illinois senator: “Who is the real Barack Obama?”"He's a damn liar!” yelled a woman Wednesday in Pennsylvania. "Get him. He's bad for our country." “I’m mad, I’m really mad!” the voter bellowed. “And what’s going to surprise ya, is it’s not the economy – it’s the socialists taking over our country.” Activists outside rallies openly talk about Obama as a terrorist, citing his name and purported ties to Islam in the fashion of the viral emails that have rocketed around the Internet for over a year now.Some of this activity is finding its way into the events, too.On Thursday, as one man in the audience asked a question about Obama’s associations, the crowd erupted in name-calling."Obama Osama!" one woman called out.
