NYT Editorial: McCain-Palin Have Sunk To "Race-Baiting And Xenophobia"


I applaud the NYT for finally doing what needs to be done: Addressing the negativity as divisive and destructive (and ineffective).

I too hope McGrumpy's campaign comes up with something a little more honorable to blather about. If only to give the contest a little more of the dignity it deserves.

Last night I was at a meeting where a man came in with a McCain/Palin button, hiding the spot on his shirt where a tie might have gone. I politely asked him whether he was planning to watch the debate, and he didn't think he'd bother, but allowed as someone will probably shoot that Obama guy anyway. I reminded him there are people out there protecting him and kidded him that he shouldn't be overheard saying this stuff. 

Know what he said?

"They can't all protect him. No one can protect him."

Someone who can Get It Done should take McGrumpy out IN PUBLIC and call him on this behavior. And demand an appeal from him, sans sarcasm, smiles, and any of the other Moosecrap, that people stop thinking in this fashion

He doesn't get that once you whisper into a lizard's brain, that's all they know.
