The Evils Of Elephants
At Republican rallies we now hear McCain supporters yelling "Terrorist" in reference to Barack Obama. The head of the Virginia GOP has gone on record to compare Obama to Osama bin Laden. We've heard, "Kill him! Kill him!" And now this, stating that Obama and Biden are the bad guys.
Let's set the record straight. Only one candidate has chosen a running mate whose spouse is a separatist. Only one candidate has been a member of an anti-American organization. Only one candidate has had his hands dirtied by scandal, such as the Keating Five. And while Obama certainly has associated with Bill Ayers, McCain has his equally un-American association in G. Gordon Liddy.
You don't hear cries out to kill John McCain, however. Why is that?
The fact is, any and all "patriotism" John McCain has claimed is washed away by his cowardice by not shutting down this hatred. He should know better. His failure to be better than this has made him guilty of inciting the hatred.
Calls for killing a political candidate is not American. In fact, it is anti-American. There is more in common with Nazi Germany than any America I know. John McCain is refusing to stand up and say to his party, "We are better than this." What that tells you about John McCain is that he is no better than this.
This isn't about political views now. It's not about liberal or conservative, the economy, foreign policy or anything we should be discussing. It's about an anti-American group of bad people who have kidnapped a political party and so twisted, through propaganda and fear, the minds of its constituents that they would support the assassination of a political rival.
Until John McCain speaks up against what his party and his supporters are saying, he is no longer an American hero.
