Hey everybody, this is going to be a rather short diary, but I just saw something disturbing and I wanted to get it off my chest.
The last couple of weeks, Obama has made huge inroads with the voters. Unfortunately it took a complete financial melt-down to get the voters to see how better his ideas are.
Anyhow, I was feeling very good about our prospects with regards to the election.
But then I saw the scary stuff coming out of McNasty and Mini-Bush's campaign events and then I saw this video (via Andrew Sullivan).
If you have forgotten what we are up against, just take a look at it.
The woman in the video keeps calling Obama an Ay-rab and saying "Hillary Clinton all the way". Hey I have nothing against Hillary voters or Hillary for god's sake. All I am saying is that this woman probably votes democrat most of the time and she should; since judging by her appearance I don't think she's particularly well off.
But she keeps calling Barack an "Ay-rab" and the men that are with her keep calling him the N-word.
And that's what McPalin are banking on when they bring a sheriff to their event in NC who keeps talking about Barack's middle name, in uniform nonetheless - Wasn't there a law against that behavior? but who cares? Law-abiding is like truth-telling. It's for the suckers.
Fear-mongering and race-baiting; That's what we have to defeat in the next month. Daunting task? I'm sure it is, but "God bless and God speed".
