From CBS News' Scott Conroy:

(PHILADELPHIA) As the crowd cheered at a Sarah Palin rally this morning in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a man in the audience grinned as he held up a stuffed monkey doll with a Barack Obama bumper sticker wrapped across its forehead.

The incident came at a time when McCain and Palin’s events have increasingly been fueled by angry crowds, since Palin began drawing a connection between Barack Obama and 1960s radical William Ayers, claiming that the Democratic nominee has a history of “palling around” with a terrorist.

At a rally in Lakeville, Minnesota, on Friday, McCain was booed after he called on his audience to be respectful of Obama. The Republican nominee took the microphone away from one woman who said she couldn’t trust Obama because “he’s an Arab.”

After Palin finished her remarks this morning, the man holding the stuffed monkey seemed to notice that a video camera was pointed at him, at which point he removed the Obama sticker from the doll’s head and crumpling it up in his hand. He then handed the doll to a young boy who was watching the rally from his father’s shoulders. The boy’s parents later told CBS News that they weren’t acquainted with the man who gave their son the stuffed monkey.

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but it still stings your heart to see it.

Pussy. You try and bring something out with a specific intention but as soon as a camera is in your face you want to try and hide? If you're going to be a racist asshole, be a proud racist asshole. These people are tired and weak.

watch what?

Got it!

Looking like a pedophile is right! Reminds me of how the guys act in the To Catch a Perv when they see the cameras come out!!

[Shinola]

Gross. The best comment on the CBS site was that the dude looks like a pedophile. Couldn't agree more.

[Honey]

He's a creepy looking man!

He looks like a fatter version of the annoying Six Flags bus dude.

He looks like a fatter version of the annoying Six Flags bus dude.

He does! That Six Flags guy is freakishly limber!

This douche bag is such a pussy. You could tell he was shitting in his pants when he realized he was busted... the fake, constipated-esque smile he had on his face... trying to be non-chalant about it. Now his dumb, ignorant face is on the internet... stupid prick.

So this will be McCain's legacy, the man who built himself up as a person of honor, brought back overt race wars (together with his wind-up dim-witted barbie doll of hate). Way to go Johnny boy, your desperation for the oval office is truly awe inspiring. Jackass.

Wish I could say I was shocked, but I'm not.

And I love some of the comments, especially this one that blames Obama for playing the race angle:

Obama has to invoke race at any and every thing he can it is a plan to win the election. May work may not we will know on Nov 4th

[bychance]

Why is it when everyone else BUT Obama eludes to racial overtones, Obama gets attacked for invoking the race?

[kingcap72]

^^Because the people that have the biggest issue with Obama's race will deflect onto him and will always accuse him of playing the race card as a smokescreen for their own prejudices.

You know that sick bastard was shoving that in people's faces before the "show" and impressing people with his little "joke" gag. I wonder how many thumbs up he got that night.

[panda]

I hate people!

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

Just revolting.
