McCain responsible for what people in his audience say?
They could well be Democrat "plants". Planting their supporters in a rival meeting is an old tactic for them. Read here, for instance.
"After inflammatory speech at events for Republican presidential candidate John McCain made headlines this weekend, Democratic lawmaker John Lewis compared McCain to 1960s segregationist George Wallace.
Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday asked Davis if McCain and Palin bear any responsibility for their supporters calls of violence when attack ads and stump speeches call Obama a "liar" and a "terrorist."
This is how Davis responded: "Barack Obama should apologize to John McCain directly for the kinds of comments made by Joe Lewis yesterday and that should be the end of this sordid affair."
Lewis had criticized the "atmosphere of hate" he said McCain is creating in the election, referencing an infamous Alabama church bombing in 1963 that was blamed on Wallace's fiery rhetoric.

Comparing McCain to Wallace is hate speech, if you ask me. Claims that Obama is a liar and an associate of terrorists are true so are not hate speech in my book. Calls to "kill" Obama are, however, a different matter but such calls have only come from audience members and the speakers have never been identified. And McCain himself has bent over backwards to avoid negativity.

This is another example of why McCain and the Republicans won't win. The Left constantly has them on the defensive which can make them look guilty of these false charges. The more you defend yourself, the more guilty you look. (the media will see to that) The Dems/Left are masters at this tactic. With the help of their many allies and supporters in the media, the Left has no problem turning lies into truth, and truth into lies.
Perhaps the American people need a Marxist like Obama to get elected, since no other attempt at getting them to think for themselves seems to work. Maybe that will wake them up. Maybe!
BTW, Wallace was a Democrat.
That's true. Back then, there was such a thing as a good Democrat, since their party had yet to be hijacked by the hard-core Left.
The problem with Obama winning (despite it maybe being needed to show the country what a communist is like) is that one of the first things he'll do is kill or lock up all opposition and dismantle the constitution.
Say bye bye to elections, freedom of speech, your guns (can't let people have those, they might start a rebellion), property, etc. etc..
The "kill him" line seems to have been invented out of thin air.
