One thought on “Dispatches: Down the dark road with McCain and Palin”

  1. The McCain-Palin-Joe McCarthy campaign is more than just nasty, it is venal and lethal. They are stirring up a lynch mob with possible dire consequences. If anything horrible happens, the blood will be on their hands. McCain and Palin have to publicly, loudly and frequently disavow themselves from the Neanderthals screaming, \”traitor,\” \”terrorist,\” \”treason,\” \”hang him,\” or \”kill him!\” I am not holding my breath for McCain-Palin-Joe McCarthy to be so enlightened. If anything, the McCain-Palin-Joe McCarthy campaign will get uglier, nastier, meaner and more toxic.
