This should finally end the fantasy--and erstwhile media narrative--that John McCain could possible be construed as a maverick, a straight-talker, or a different kind of Republican. He has revealed himself to be exactly the same kind of craven, despicable politician so common is his party, the kind who draws on the very worst aspects of human nature to garner what little appeal he can. The man McCain claims to be would be deeply ashamed of the awful, desperate race-baiting fearmonger that John McCain the campaigner has become, or rather, revealed himself to be.
Torch-lit parades and old fashioned book burnings?
Think how impressive they'd look on big-screen color TV. The Palinists will ensure a good turnout.
You can take it to the bank (if one is still open in 30 days) that Obama wins and so do Democrats in general.
Now what? What would you like to see Obama do first? What would you do first?
The Democrats are at a stage in history where this may be the most important first 100 days ever. Will they be up to the task?
Yes it was only a matter of time before the powerful Palestinian lobby woould have its own candidate and he's an Ay-rab to boot. How we pulled this one off, we ourselves may never know.
What makes me happiest about this is that the damage to McCain's reputation may take longer to live down than he has political years left.
How long before Senator McCain and Gov. Palin start quoting email rumors in their speeches?
When he loses this election, JM has a demonstrated aptitude as a conservative radio talk show host.
If McCain continues down the road he is taking he will tarnish his distinguised career. If he wins (because of the attacks) would anyone be surprised if there were riots.
It's getting unnerving. Any sense of dignity McCain had is being shredded, and he only has himself to blame.
It's funny, I am now soooo glad Obama went through the ugly, divisive primary. If the Wright, Ayers and Rezko stuff were unknown, the R's might have been effective if these things were entered into the equation without time to digest it.
Because they're old, McCain is having to go over the top, and it's not pretty.
p.s. LOL on the conservative radio host gig, he would fit right in at this point.
The thing that has always worried me the more than anything else about the right-wing is that I have yet to see evidence of a governor (the engine-type, certainly don't mean the Palin-type) on their behavior. The worse things get politically, the nuttier and more radical they become.
Wow, I must really be a pessimist. I have no giddiness or firm belief whatsoever that this portends a general collapse of McCain and the despicable portion of Republicans.
I do hope that more people find his rhetoric distasteful. I do hope that more people will strive find a more positive message. I do hope that the Republicans that aren't despicable start regaining control of the party. Do I think the number will be great? No. I don't.
Got an actual chuckle out of me. I love me the snark.
and they'll get further turned off by the BS he's spewing about Obama now. the other half of the Republican base are the Bible thumping morons who are still sticking with George Bush b/c Jesus talks to him. (ah, but we know the Devil is a master of disguise. perhaps it's he who whispers in W's ear.)
McCain is going to help sink his own ship here. just step back everyone and let him do it.
From the bottom of my ever more anxiety-ridden, pounding heart, thank you, Glenn.
First: I am hardly a radical. My wife and I own a corporation, have two kids and a house on the lake. I have an MBA from a Pac-10 university. She's a doctor.
But what I'm about to say will be branded radical by many across the political spectrum: there is going to be a terrorist attack before the election.
As the polls continue to trend strongly in favor of Obama, McCain's backers will take ever more desperate measures to avoid losing the power they've spent the last 30 years wresting from our democracy.
Expect the "Bin Laden" video shortly. Then expect a "suitcase nuke" in a city near you.
I see no alternative to another 9/11. Please, fellow progressives, tell me what other option the NeoCons have left? There are not enough rigged voting machines to pull off another coup. The Rezko/Ayres stories are a wash with McCain's Keating Five. Obama's not going to pull a Kerry and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
The PNAC boys have nothing left but Terror. Do you really believe the people who brought us the last eight years of misery, death and destruction are going to give up at the precise moment their Corporatist Utopia is materializing before their very eyes, courtesy of the economic upheaval tailor made for enactment of the "shock doctrine"?
Now is their chance. The next month may be the most turbulent period in this country's existence. Viscerally, I feel it coming. Intellectually, I cannot arrive at any other scenario.
Maybe someone needs to talk me down on this one.
Is it true that Todd Palin was/is part of a political party that advocates the secession of Alaska from the United States? If it is, I think it entirely appropriate, indeed highly important, to point it out, in capital letters, everywhere and often until election day.
Woo hoo! @ 1:40 said it best, and who can add a reasonable thought?
a "collective death" a nation is "teetering on panic"... PAN was Nature.
Fierce visitation. Listen to Palin and McCain express nauseating vices.
Black bile, bad ilk. What scorn is tossed next? B. Obama ate broccoli?
Palin, a"giddily" "skips"` hip-hops, a "cheering" "rambunctious" ...
"booing right-wing crowds"
We see: And hear a "nasty, invective, howling, shaking head, disgusting, and naive" *NAIF.

If a commission of inquiry into what public nuisances the GOP has nominated to be unleashed to sicken a nation?
Well, they'd talk a great deal over taxpayer paid for dinners, and in the meantime, one hopes!
And Hopes What?
Hysteria's abates.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
