I will be brutally honest here, I do blame the McCain/Palin campaign for both incidents because of the hate created by their campaign as evident in their rallies.  Both McCain and Palin have done everything possible to divide this country along racial-hate-lines and we the people must punish the both of them for doing so.

 

If Barack Obama does win this election and God willing he does, Senator McCain and Sarah Palin will quietly go back to their lives where it will be up to an Obama administration along with the citizens of this country to heal this nation.

 

To speak out against Senator Ted Stevens but not this racial hate created by their campaign shows their lack of character and fortitude to lead this nation during these dire times.  They do not deserve to hold the highest office in this land, but be condemned for running one of the most hateful campaigns.

 

We the people must remember that this sort of violence could have been visited upon anyone of our communities within these United States.  Quite frankly, I do not care about Palin’s clothes since I feel that is petty in light of the rallies she has led and where those entering it have use the most hateful language that even a child should not hear.

 

Case in point: I have seen feed-after-feed of hateful bigotry of those supporting McCain and Palin, but it is this one that truly bothers me where a mob of McCain/Palin supporters call for the assassination of Barack Obama.  Some even say openly never vote for a black man.  What have we become?  I do not recognize these people as being Americans, but terrorists themselves.  These mobs are creating terror in this country and we must attack their message of hate.  Let us not forget that the rest of the world is seeing this and what does it say of our country?  I am angry at their campaign for lessening us in the eyes of the world community who have become distrustful of us.

 

Speaking of children, I see how Sarah Palin’s children have been traveling with her on the campaign trail and one must ask: Why are they not in school?  Are they being tutored as they travel and if so, who is paying for the cost of this tutoring?  I have not heard one reporter ask these questions.  This is where both Barack and Michelle Obama are to be commended for keeping their children out the spotlight and away from any nut-job wishing to cause them harm.  Now that is what I call family values.
