Well, This is Just Frightening...

I'm all for people having differences of opinion when it comes to politics, but this is something else entirely:



Racism, ignorance, and hatred, all on display outside of a Palin rally in Pennsylvania. Is this the "kindness, goodness, and courage of everyday Americans" in the "pro-America areas of this great nation" that Governor Palin mentioned Thursday night? Just curious. I'd like to believe we can better than this as a country, and just respect each others' differences - then I'm reminded that there are people out there that just aren't interested in that line of thinking.

Shouldn't McCain and Palin be speaking out against this kind of behavior? I guess not if it serves their purposes, like the sleazy anti-Obama robo-calls they're employing, which are reinforcing the mindset demonstrated by the people in the video above. Those calls are so sleazy that even Senator Susan Collins of Maine, a Republican and co-chair of McCain's Maine campaign, has called for them to be stopped. Good for her - at least there are some Republicans out there who believe these tactics are below the belt. Unfortunately, those Republicans don't seem to be working for the McCain campaign.
