According to NEWSWEEK, a fairly liberal publication, in the October 27 issue, page 10:

"During a heated moment in his final Presidential debate with Sen. John McCain, Sen. Barak Obama noted the anger of some supporters at rallies for McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

"All the public reports suggested," Obama said, that people shouted "thinks like 'terrorist' and 'kill him'."

Making a death threat against a presidential candidate can be a crime. But even before Obama cited "reports" of the threats at the debate, the US Secret Service had told media outlets, including NEWSWEEK, that it was unable to corroborate accounts of the "kill him" remarkls-and according to a law enforcement official, who asked for anonymity when discussing a political matter, the Obama campaign knew as much. Now, some officials are disgruntled that Obama gave added credence to the threat by mentioning it in front of 60 million viewers. At this point in the campaign, said one, candidates will "say anything to make a particular point."

Divisive politics are nothing new for Obama. Hillary Clinton suffered from racist accusations as well.
