Last night I wrote a blog about hatred and the McCain campaign.
Some of the posters totally missed the point which proved my point.
Simply put...when you are threatened by someone who you believe to be a lessor human than you are...no matter if they have moved mountains or even walked on water...you will look for ways and twist the truth to keep them where they have no power over you...in other words...do your best to destroy them.
One poster said...just because I don't support Obama I am a racist? I don't know? Are you? I did not write the blog to point the finger at anyone in particular. I wrote the blog because I believe the campaign is turning into a campaign about hatred and the farther McCain falls behind the worse it will get.
And another said...I was name calling and that was just like the people I was complaining about.
If you are shouting racial slurs and I shout "racists"! How in Gods name does that make me like them? If you believe that to be true and that makes sense to you then I can only shake my head and wonder. 
Never before in this country have we had to decide if we are going to choose a man who happens to be black (who not so long ago was not allowed to be seated by you and was not considered your equal) to lead us. I believe there are many people out there who cannot accept that notion.
And since they cannot say that out loud (though it is starting to be said) they will find other ways to try to defeat him.

You have a warped way of twisting things maybe you should work in the campaigns both sides seem to be using spin doctors and going negative. Look in the mirror you seem to be the only one in here making a issue of race might want to check your shoes

keyaa, I liked your blog tonight. Sorry, I didn't read the previous referenced blog. This blog however, stands on its own.
The media broad casted a different McCain tonight. While campaigning, he sensed his audience was 'Obama hostile' and he commented that Obama was a good man. The audience booed. They were revved up for blood and maybe John gave them something they disliked. Maybe they didn't expect that slight turn. Was he tired? It could have been a case of guilt for the latest trend of hate ads his campaign has been spewing. An eery feeling came over me as I watched him falter.

McCain finally realized he took things too far in his inciteful hate speech and took matters into his own hands to stop it. Too little too late? We'll see.

With all the radical people that Obama has been associated with and groups like Acorn,I can`t help wondering why people are turning a blind eye to this and still support him.I want to trust him but I can`t.These people may benefit by him being president
and I am not willing to take the chance.

So let's say they are both crooks. Mccain has totally changed since the 2000 election. Since then, he had decided to go with party politics. I think we all know where that got us. As for obama, lets say half of what is said is true. How can you justify for either canidate?

There is a strong tendency in political discourse to make anything 'similar and equal' when once one tries to point out the junk in the arena.
Part of the challenge is that so much of language is social labeling. It's a judgment a person or group makes of one another. Radical Obama, racist McCain-ites, and so on. In other words, labels are not simple things that just exist apart from the perspective of the person utilizing them.
Name me a 'racist' who thinks they are...admits they are?
Labeling in general is simply ineffective and divisive in the political arena as it is in daily life. We utilize labels to separate ourselves from the 'other' to say we are not like that. But beneath it all, in the right space and right time, we are all these things. The Holocaust and Rwanda, though appeals to conservative, rightist segments of their societies, didn't happen simply because these nations were simply filled with right-wing whackos. It happened because within all of us, is both saint, and the savage bringer of genocide.
For me the question always is, how do we bring the saint out while the animal is sharpening its fangs for genocide?? And because the brain lends itself to fear far more than to surrender, that is one hell of a challenge.
