Dialing Back McCain-Palin Hate at Rallies
We cannot stay on the path to hate. It will harm the country significantly. Rachel Maddow interviews Dr. Doris Kearns Goodwin, Presidential Historian:
The hardest thing about a campaign is not how to win, but how to win without proving you’re unworthy of winning. -Adlai E. Stevenson II
Rachel Maddow discusses the hate situation in the McCain-Palin campaign very well:
It’s pretty bad when you have to defend your opponent because of the hate snowball you started rolling.
Senator Obama continues to calmly take the high road and stick to the issues where we should all be paying attention. The issues are what the next President will have to deal with. I only hope we as a country can come together and that the majority of Americans don’t harbor racial hatred. Those who do need to grow up and come into the 21st century. Hating someone because of any attribute about them is juvenile and irresponsible. Every person must be dealt with by their conduct and character, not by the color of their skin, or the funny sound of their name, to paraphrase Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. When will all Americans get it? How many generations must come and pass before this part of our history is truly history?
Will Senator McCain’s efforts to dial back the racist and anti-American rhetoric against Senator Obama work? We’ll see…
