What the hell happened to the issues? What about the economy? The economy that is melting down faster than reactor 4 at Chernobyl in 1986? What about energy policy? What about health care? Taxes? Foreign policy? Domestic policy? What about the freakin’ wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? What about climate change? What about the disregard for the U.S. Constitution by the current Bush administration, especially by Dick Cheney?
Senator McCain, I used to like and greatly respect you as an American hero and as a Maverick who really had some good ideas and who did reach across the isle in the Senate and work to make America better. But that was 8 years ago, and now I don’t know who you are anymore.
You are not the John McCain who fought for this country in Vietnam, the honorable officer and gentleman who graduated from the Navel Academy, or even the Senator who used to do what was right, not what was popular with the Republican party. What the hell happened to you??? When did you become associated with racists? You, Sir, have become a disgrace! — Sherri Joubert
Many news outlets are talking back to the McCain-Palin campaign about their lynch-mob mentality and hate-mongering toward Senator Obama. These tactics are racially divisive in a time when racial hatred is not supposed to be in the American ethos any longer.
Racism and racial hatred are still very much alive and well in America and I’m ashamed of that about us. We are better than that and we need to start acting like it!
Here are a couple of videos that show this more clearly than I can write about it.

Keith Olbermann gets it right, clean up your act, John McCain!
