Terrorism, Socialism, and Islam

Obama is inches away from the finish line in the Presidential election. The last couple of months of John Mccain's campaign has been one of desperation. However, the last two weeks his campaign has been down right despicable. His campaign feels the only chance they have in this election is to play on the seed of fear and hate that resides in many people. First, they linked him to 1960's domestic terrorist William Ayers. Dropping lines like "Obama is Pallin' around with terrorists", to raise doubt about Obama's character. When Sarah Palin is up there stumping innuendos about Obama's faith and relationships, are they really surprised as to what kind of response they get? With these words of intolerance they have incited a mob that is flirting with a thin line that could lead to violence. They have fueled misconceptions about Obama's faith, his patriotism, even his citizenship. It is appalling the kinds of things being said by Mccain supporters at his rallies. When polling showed that the majority of people do not like the Ayers references because they are too worried about the economic crisis the Mccain camp moves on to just as detrimental rhetoric. Their newest tactic in provoking fear is calling Obama a Socialist. A Socialist? Really? I think someone may need to let John Mccain know this is not the 1950's, McCarthyism is dead. We don't do the Communist witch hunts in America anymore, well at least I thought we didn't. John Mccain had a choice and his choice was whether to end this campaign with at least a smidgen of integrity in tact. He has chosen politics above all else. He is going to end this campaign with lies and insinuations of things that are truly disturbing to suggest about a United States Senator. In history we are going to look back at the final days of this campaign and see not a Mccain who was graceful in the final days but rather a Mccain that ran one of the dirtiest and disgraceful campaign in history.
