Don't give the booers so much credit, neither on MacCain's rallies (whom do you expect there? Democrats? Humanitarians? Atheists?) nor here in this forum. They are a part of american society, but they are not the majority of it. On TV they also showed a lot of Republican voters, who understood the social and cultural changes that took place in their home areas over the past years, and resulted in the vote as it is, and maybe they were not happy with Obama's win, but they accepted that time and mood are changing - that's life.

A population is represented by it's most vocal members. If these are set lose, and the majority stays quiet, even in the case they are of different opinion, then it's their own fault. That is why Germany deserved what it got in WW2, and that is why other countries are judged by the actions of such ppl as well.
What was the phrase like again? Evil suceeds when the good guys look away or something? Anyways that is what it is all about. This does not apply to countries only, but ideologies in general.
