- Continued: Frank Schaeffer Article:
John McCain, You have changed. You have a choice: Go down in history as a decent senator and an honorable military man with many successes, or go down in history as the latest abettor of right-wing extremist hate. John McCain, you are no fool, and you understand the depths of hatred that surround the issue of race in this country. You also know that, post-9/11, to call someone a friend of a terrorist is a very serious matter. You also know we are a bitterly divided country on many other issues. You know that, sadly, in America, violence is always just a moment away. You know that there are plenty of crazy people out there. Stop! Think! Your rallies are beginning to look, sound, feel and smell like lynch mobs.ohn McCain, you''re walking a perilous line. If you do not stand up for all that is good in America and declare that Senator Obama is a patriot, fit for office, and denounce your hate-filled supporters when they scream out "Terrorist" or "Kill him," history will hold you responsible for all that follows. John McCain and Sarah Palin, you are playing with fire, and you know it. You are unleashing the monster of American hatred and prejudice, to the peril of all of us. You are doing this in wartime. You are doing this as our economy collapses. You are doing this in a country with a history of assassinations. Change the atmosphere of your campaign. Talk about the issues at hand. - Reply to this comment
- Well of course all Sarah can talk about is negative campaigning against Obama.
That''s all she''s been able to memorize so far. - Reply to this comment
- A must read: this article appeared this morning. It was written by a Right Wing Republican with impeccable credentials and lots of courage. It is well worth reading but has to be posted in 2 parts because of its length. By Frank Schaeffer October 10, 2008 John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as "not one of us," I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence. At a Sarah Palin rally, someone called out, "Kill him!" At one of your rallies, someone called out, "Terrorist!" Neither was answered or denounced by you or your running mate, as the crowd laughed and cheered. At your campaign event Wednesday in Bethlehem, Pa., the crowd was seething with hatred for the Democratic nominee - an attitude encouraged in speeches there by you, your running mate, your wife and the local Republican chairman.Shame! John McCain: In 2000, as a lifelong Republican, I worked to get you elected instead of George W. Bush. In return, you wrote an endorsement of one of my books about military service. You seemed to be a man who put principle ahead of mere political gain.

- This hateful litany goes on and on. Sarah when are we going to get some intelligent statements from you regarding the ECONOMY or would that be an attack or a sexist question or to radical of me to ask? For someone who professes to be ready to be 2nd in command of this nation you are a far cry from anyone I would ever want to represent me or this nation. Your hateful racist remarks are more radical than anything you are trying to pin on Obama and may God forgive you for the damage you are doing to this country.

- Don''t care about Ayers or Keating. It''s more about issues. Whoever slings the most mud, doesn''t get my vote.

- I should clarify here that Palin didn''t pay for the PR firm that created her image...it was paid for by the taxpayers of Alaska.
