Because he took a shot at Palin for her wink: I guess they saw the opportunity to bring up the special terrorists in Obama's life. I don't think it's very effective. (via)...
Actually, the DNC took a shot at the fact that McCain, after admitting that he knows nothing about economics and after attacking Obama for his inexperience, chose a VP with even less experience and even less financial knowhow. Palin's wink has become emblematic of her total incuriosity. Somehow, the GOP thought this entitled them to stir the racial pot. Stay classy.

Folks, the fact that McCain even won the primary was proof that America was already planning to vote for big change and vote for a Dem. McCain WAS a maverick, a guy who did not submit himself to the ruthless partisanship of the GOP. The obvious implication of his nomination is that Bush's reckless destruction over the last 8 years has forced this country to the left. McCain barely qualifies as a conservative, and the fact that he spent the last year differentiating himself from Bush, hammering home his "across the aisle" rhetoric, and shamelessly picking Palin to steal Hillary voters just goes to show that liberalism was already on course for a win. No Republican could honestly defeat Obama on this turf. McCain only realized this reality around September when he decided to completely sell his soul to the GOP to employ the lowest form of Rovian-McCarthyist gutter politics we've yet seen. Unfortunately, the tides were already too strong, and the people have wised up. Slime will not hold back a tsunami. This is truly the left's time.

This slime, however, does affect public perception after the election.
And to its purveyors I would say, America, love it or leave it. I'm sure the good Reformed Christians of the Transvaal could use their help, and South Africa will still accept immigrants, even white racists. Otherwise, shut up and do those things that make America better.

So you are committed to shutting down opposition to what you believe and forcing all to "do those things" that support your view of what makes America better.

Actually, Gillian, that would be racist pot...as in that's what Obama's pastor of twenty years is.
Yes...the spiritual shepherd that Obama sat under is relevant to his belief system.

I can see that the prospect of imminent defeat is really getting to you, MzEllen. Just remember, Obama isn't nearly as bad as you want to believe he is.
