09 Oct 08 McCain Goes Down

McCain has taken his campaign deeper into the muck at a time when people need to hear how he might fix the economy. His message to the American people is clear: McCain doesn’t want to help you, he only wants to scare you. All of his big lies, especially about running a “Straight Talk Express”, are exposed in this video:

But what John McCain has done is worse than telling a few lies. He and Palin are doing everything they can to make uninformed Americans deeply afraid of Obama. Over and over they have attempted to portray a United States Senator as an Arab, a Moslem, and a Terrorist. This is unconscionable: now is the time for all who know better to speak out.

It is a sorry fact of American political life that campaigns get ugly, often in their final weeks. But Senator John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin have been running one of the most appalling campaigns we can remember. They have gone far beyond the usual fare of quotes taken out of context and distortions of an opponent’s record — into the dark territory of race-baiting and xenophobia.
