Be knowledgeable people!

I have been bombarded with negative things about Obama by Mccain supporters. While I can understand the disappointment these people feel and respect there need to "grieve", I am appalled by some of the things they are actually saying. I am troubled by peoples basic lack of knowledge and their ignorance. It is one thing to have differing opinions rooted in ideological difference because that supports healthy discussion, but it is quite another to spout lies and bigotry. There were many things said that were untrue by the Mccain camp about Barack Obama, like he is a Muslim, unpatriotic, and a Socialist. I am shocked at the ignorance of his supporters who actually believe these things. All they would need to do is research facts from non partisan groups to know that these accusations are absurd and not true. Instead these people create arguments that are in no way rooted in fact. If you disagree with the President elect in his policies, then by all means express those opinions while using examples from his actual policies. Instead people are using unsound arguments that are rooted in slander and lies. Not everyone is going to like or agree with any given President, heaven knows 80% of Americans don't agree with Bush. But you need to articulate your point with the truth about your ideological differences and not participate in this pathetic attempt to accuse our next President of being a Socialist.
