"John McCain, you're walking a perilous line."

In today's Baltimore Sun Frank Schaeffer addresses the tone of the McCain campaign, and does it eloquently and very much to the point:
John McCain, you are no fool, and you understand the depths of hatred that surround the issue of race in this country. You also know that, post-9/11, to call someone a friend of a terrorist is a very serious matter. You also know we are a bitterly divided country on many other issues. You know that, sadly, in America, violence is always just a moment away. You know that there are plenty of crazy people out there.

Stop! Think! Your rallies are beginning to look, sound, feel and smell like lynch mobs.

John McCain, you're walking a perilous line. If you do not stand up for all that is good in America and declare that Senator Obama is a patriot, fit for office, and denounce your hate-filled supporters when they scream out "Terrorist" or "Kill him," history will hold you responsible for all that follows.

John McCain and Sarah Palin, you are playing with fire, and you know it. You are unleashing the monster of American hatred and prejudice, to the peril of all of us. You are doing this in wartime. You are doing this as our economy collapses. You are doing this in a country with a history of assassinations.

Change the atmosphere of your campaign. Talk about the issues at hand. Make your case. But stop stirring up the lunatic fringe of haters, or risk suffering the judgment of history and the loathing of the American people - forever.
We will hold you responsible.

Keep informed about the Obama / ACORN voter fraud situation, is Obama trying to cheat or not?

Read up on the his relationship with terrorist Bill Ayers, is it real or fictional?

Read about how Obama's poker buddy Larry Walsh had his house raided by the FBI. Why?

Get the real totals of how much money Obama has received from Fannie Mac and Freddie Mac, is he really #2 of all members of congress?

How close of a friend was Obama to Tony Rezko, who by the way is going to jail for wire fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, and soliciting brides?

How could Obama, a man of change, pick a 30 year vet of the senate in Joe Biden as his running mate?

Does Obama really want a bigger government, and how is he gonna pay for all of it, especially if the economy is on the downturn?

Please study up on Obama before you cast your vote in November.

Sigh. Have you read up on them?

1. Ayers is on a board Obama was on. Ayers was Citizen of the Year in Chicago. Ayers is not a "pal" of Obama's.

2. Larry Walsh's offices were NOT raided.

3. EMPLOYEES of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac donated to Obama's campaign. Officers donated to McCain's.

4. How close a friend was he? I don't know, and neither do you. How about McCain and Chuck Colson?

5. Ummm, because Biden is a solid balance, with plenty of experience?

6. Yes, I expect he does - one that works. Unlike the GOP that wants a government that runs up huge deficits and breaks. "Tax and spend" beats "borrow and spend" any day, in my book. And so does having a government that takes care of its citizens instead of abandoning them to social darwinism, the favorite sport of the rich who run the GOP.

Please yourself do some reading, but I'm not holding my breath over it. In fact, I don't know why I bothered to answer your comment.

Oh yeah, Rezko never solicited a "bride".

And as for ACORN,

1. Obama has nothing to do with it.

2. It's not voter fraud.

3. Voter fraud is a fake issue, clearly (as anyone who actually looks at it knows) designed to put quasi-legitimate face on disenfranchisement.

You can check my post on that (though you won't) and head over to look at some actual facts via the links, but you won't do that, either.
