I was there, and no one said "bomb Obama", they were saying "no obama" (see Jim Tharpe's article). Also, there were beer bottles around the Martin bus. Real classy Martin campaign... Get Union workers boozed up and take them to the debate. Random, were you there? I was there, and no one said “bomb Obama”, they were saying “no obama” (see Jim Tharpe’s article).

This is just more of the same "it's the other guys fault, we said this" stuff we've been hearing from the McCain campaign throughout this election.

I'd expect better from Bernita considering it was her lot who were booing during Chambliss' answers and disrupting the entire event. At first it was a steady back and forth of just cheering for their own respective candidates. But soon the union members who Martin bussed in just started booing during Chambliss' answers. It was quickly followed by jeers when Martin spoke by Saxby supporters. Not to play a who started it game, but it was clearly the Atlanta people Martin bussed in who started the negative and chaotic tone. Both of those characterizations are rediculous.
