Much has been made recently about statements made by people within the campaigns. Palin, McCain, Rep. Lewis all have been accused of sowing the seeds of hate. Of course, both camps have denied that anything said was words of hatred. But unfortunately, not many voters are buying the bullsh*t.
I guess when you have an election at stake all things are acceptable. The seeds of hate? First it was the terrorist thing….McCain has taken a minor occurrence and turned it into a question of judegement. But the radical fringe has turn it into calls for violence, like “kill him”, “traitor”, and no one is asking the crowds to calm down. This is not an isolated thing, all the surroigates are harping on this issue. Even the surrogates are saying that Obama was the preferred candidate of terrorists.
Then a Congresswoman on MSNBC’s Hardball, Rep. Michele Bachman R-MN, recently called all liberals anti American and went so far as to say that a journalistic investigation should be done on all memebers of the democratic party in Congress. This dinosaur is a throw back to the days of McCarthy where there was a “commie” behind every pillar in Washington. It was silly then and it is twice as moronic NOW!
How about “robocalls” that remind people that Obama was “palling” around with terrorists. Or the sheriff in uniform that made sure to use Obama’s middle name (btw, I believe that is against the law to do political stuff while in uniform). And then there is the head of a Republican party apparatus that told workers to equate Obama with Osama. Does any of this NOT sound like the sowing of hate?
These are just a few of the most recently hatred attacks. I am told by the McCain campaign that John would word with the Congress in a bi-partisan way, but yet these types of hatred attacks are just making the divide between the two parties deeper, to the point that if he should somehow fool the American people and become president, that Washington would become a more hateful place than it is now.
Let us not forget the old broad that called Obama , an “Arab”….McCain did try to disfuse that one. How about the head of a Repub organization that put out a flier saying that if they put Obama on a bill it would be a food stamp along with a bucket of chicken, ribs, etc. These types of caricature is not helping the seeds of hate to disappear. The McCain camp has done nothing to discourage this type of bullsh*t with the exception of some veiled attempt to say that it is all true.
Maybe he should fire his staff of advisers and hire Mickey Mouse, at least he is from a terminally happy place something McCain has abandoned–happy and good taste and sense. Sowing the seeds of hate is NOT something a responsible leader would do. It is an insult to anyone with half a brain.
