Sarah Palin's running mate holds his tongue
Did John McCain really point to Sen. Barack Obama during the debate and call him "That one"?
Phew! It's starting to look like Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin don't just disagree with Obama's politics, they really loathe the man. I mean, that man. There's personal antagonism there. A Palin fan at a rally hurled racial slurs at black members of the media the other day, and the Secret Service is investigating allegations that a supporter called out "Kill him!" while Palin was speaking about the Obama-Ayers issue.
In response, to the ugliness and perceived threat to the Illinois senator, the McCain/Palin camp issued a strong condemnation that said... Oh right, they didn't.
Well, at least McCain controlled himself enough to keep from saying what he really meant: "That Muslim terrorist, liberal-commie-pinko, Viet Cong-loving, Iran appeasing, tax-and-spend, mulatto half breed, one."
Dmitriy, that doesn't make what McCain and Palin are doing any less true. You can't keep pointing at "Well, what about --" and not addressing the issue at hand. The issue is what is in the minds of people who are voting for thinly veiled racism, and what that means if it gets to be in control of this country. Do you have something to say about that?

How about Sandra Bernhard's rape comments or Peggy Noonan's 'kill Palin quick'? Where was your outrage when all those comments were made? Or are you just reporting 'injustice' about your Messiah?
