I’d Like to Think This Can’t Happen – Can it?
I got a tweet that pointed me to this post talking about the racially motivated statements against Obama fueled by the McCain camp:
This is a moment of maximal physical danger for the young Democratic nominee. And McCain is playing with fire. If he really wants to put country first, he will attack Obama on his policies - not on these inflammatory, personal, creepy grounds. This is getting close to the atmosphere stoked by the Israeli far right before the assassination of Rabin.
I'd like to think that in America in 2008 this can't happen, but often when I think that, I'm surprised by the single individual, or group, that proves me wrong.
Andrew is right... focus on the issues - stop making this a race race... people should vote for you based on you being a good man, not a good white man. Please, people... stick with me here... show the world that we're still a group of civilized people.
