12 Oct 08 Merchant of Fear
Barring an act of god, John McCain has lost the election. The only question now is what will be left of his reputation afterwards. If he continues in his current fear and loathing mode, he’ll be remembered as a modern-day George Wallace, the polarizing segregationist of the 1960’s.

Democratic congressman John Lewis, a veteran civil rights leader, accused Republican John McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin on Saturday of “sowing the seeds of hatred and division” and said it reminded him of the segregationist era of Alabama Gov. George Wallace.
Friday McCaine made a lukewarm attempt to be conciliatory towards Obama, and was booed by the crowd at his rally for doing so. To us it seems like far too little and too late, judge for yourself.
