I have been trying my hardest to step away from my political soap box, but the dangerous hate-mongering tone of the recent Republican attacks have left me with no choice other than to respond.
Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin have taken mudslinging to an all new low with serious racial implications. I was disgusted and frightened to see Palin call Sen.Obama a terrorist in a rally and grin and wink while racist extremists yelled such horrors from the audience as "sit down boy," and worse yet, "kill him." I must ask both McCain and Palin, is the position you seek worth your soul? Palin worked that group into a hate-filled frenzy and stood there encouraging it. The McCain campaign has yet to release a statement addressing the violent comments that came from that rally. As my beloved grandmother used to say, "silence gives consent."
I am proud of the many Americans of all races who have denounced these attacks and encouraged fellow Americans to see past the desperate rhetoric of the McCain campaign. McCain has left many of his followers scratching their heads wondering what happened to their war hero.
Apparently both McCain and Palin need to brush up on the true definition of a terrorist. Get a clue people, racism is DOMESTIC TERRORISM!
What we have seen from those candidates this week alone should send us to the polls in the largest numbers ever!! It is not enough to register, you must follow it up by voting!
p.s.....Dear Sarah, as recently as days before you were selected as the v.p. nominee you and your husband attended meetings and supported a dangerous right wing extremist group whose goal is to get your State of Alaska to succeed from the United States. Who is the real terrorist???
