Mobs for McCain

Palin and McCain use hatred and fear to incite mobs against Obama. In the past the same tactics caused a mob to murder a candidate for the presidency.

The candidate? Joseph Smith.

These are the kind of politics Obama has tried to avoid. These are the same tactics Bush used eight years ago to defeat McCain. These are the same Rovian tactics McCain has adopted to defeat Obama.

    I'm so upset that I can't see your links here at work. Regardless, your post makes sense to me. When I watched this last debate, I was so struck at how the two candidates differ in their respect for the other; McCain sensationalizes and behaves like a twelve-year-old girl when he tries to discredit. There's always a bit of dignity in Obama's disagreements, no matter how adamant he is in his views.

    About fear? McCain wants to shoot first and ask questions later. And I just can't vote for that.

    I don't like either of our candidates, but I am trying to make an educated decision, and had I gone off of that first video, I probably wouldn't vote for McCain based on the behavior of that chick that was in love with her infinate knowledge of politics (and the camera). Sometimes, I kinda worry aot the US.

How to overcome hate

One old black man defeats the KKK with kindness and humor. They burned down his church, burned a cross in his yard, and mercilessly taunted him. He always responded in kindness, and turned their hearts to him. We should use this as a blueprint to respond to those who hate us.

Ron Paul sticks it to the man

Paul makes fun of the Nobel, chastises Reps and Dems from not criticizing their own parties, and encourages dissent: I'm a fan of both Ron Paul and Noam Chomsky, who seem to be on opposite sides of the spectrum. But they are both anti-war, anti-interventionist, and honest thinkers.

Meet Thomas Paine

"Thomas Paine came to America from Great Britain in 1774 when he was 37 years old. He burned with righteous indignation at the cruel tyranny of kings. Half a million copies of "Common Sense," his plainspoken call for rebellion, flooded this fledgling nation of three million people. His rhetoric so moved and persuaded George Washington that he read Paine's words to the troops at Valley Forge. After America won its independence, Paine found himself in another fight, the French Revolution, and wrote another best-seller, "The Rights of Man." But he got into trouble in France and was thrown into prison, narrowly avoiding execution. He returned to America in 1802, a prophet without honor in the nation he helped to create."
