The Swiftboating has begun. This will be the final attack on Obama and will be the nastiest yet.
First the ground was laid by the viral emails insisting that Obama was a Muslim (which he is not).
Second came Obama’s tenuous links Weather Underground founder Bill Ayers (who was never convicted of a crime) and "paling around with terrorists". And McCain’s questions, ‘who is Barack Obama, really?’
Third is the pointed emphasis at McCain’s recent rallys, of Barack Obama’s middle name, Hussein, to tie him to Saddam.
Fourth and still to come, you can bet on repeated showings of Rev Wright’s sermon where he says ‘goddamn America’. Count on it.
They want voters to connect all these dots, to paint Barack Obama, yes Barack Hussein Obama, as a scary and un-American ‘other’, maybe a Manchurian candidate who has secret evil plans. Too scary to vote for.
So fight back. Know that Barack was named after his Kenyan father. He is Barack Hussein Obama II. Know that his middle name means ‘handsome one’... a very common Arabic name. http://en.wikipedia.org/...
