John McCain’s desperate campaign resorts to fear

“Kill him!”
The words, directed at Sen. Barack Obama, rang out of a viciously angry supporter’s mouth at a Sarah Palin rally for the John McCain campaign. Later, someone screamed out “terrorist!” when Obama was mentioned. Palin did nothing to stop the dangerous hatred that was being spewed by her supporters. She, along with John McCain, simply continued their rally like nothing was happening, giving total credibility to the rumors that were quickly being spread throughout the crowd. As the election is looming and McCain is falling behind in the polls, he seems to be adapting an “anything goes” campaign. If what it takes for him to win is to imply that his opponent is a terrorist, and “doesn’t see America the way you and I see America,” then he is going to jump at every opportunity, evidently.
