Palin Crowd Turns on Journos...

We noted yesterday a Tampa reporter's claim that journos we're being kept from mingling with attendees at a Palin rally in Florida because some negative things had been printed in the past.  At the same rally, the Wash Post's Dana Milbank experienced something much more disturbing:  "Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her 'less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media.' At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, 'Sit down, boy.'"

Meanwhile, AP reports that McCain has his own "Ayers problem."
