A New World Of Gods And Monsters!

Aside from heaps upon heaps of troubling economic news, the other big story of this week was the McCain/Palin campaign's decision to enter the character assassination game. At rally after rally the candidates as well as their surrogates, took every possible opportunity to question Senator Obama's patriotism.

The constant repetition of the Senator's full name (Barack Hussein Obama) by surrogates, combined with repeated accusations of Obama "paling around" with a terrorist, has resulted in many crowds chanting things like, "traitor" and in some cases "kill him".

This is INSANELY irresponsible on the part of the McCain/Palin campaign. Sure most of your rank and file Republicans out there will be content with chanting, blogging, e-mailing and voting to get out their aggression - but what about the others? What about that proverbial "lone nut"? I don't think a cleaning agent exists that can even begin to remove that much blood from someone's hands.

At a rally today, Senator McCain attempted to cool every one's collective jets. But is it too late?



Hate is not a faucet that you can simply turn on and off at will. Has John McCain opened Pandora's Box? Has he given birth to a monster not even he can control?



PS: A bi-partisan legislative council in Alaska just released a report stating that Gov. Sarah Palin broke a state ethics law which prohibits public officials from pursuing personal interest through official action.
